Why is it that flying to New York from London will leave you feeling less tired than flying to London from New York? The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with technology Deep inside the brain there is a “clock” that governs every aspect of the body’s functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness, performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on It regulates all of these functions on a 24-hour basis and

is called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa “about” + dies “day”) This body clock

programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and again between 3-5 p.m

Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon One of the major causes of the travelers’ malady known as jet lag is the

non-alignment of a person’s internal body clock with clocks in the external world Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has to adjust to the new time and patterns of light and activity To make matters more complex, not all internal body functions adjust at the same rate So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one rate, while your temperature adjusts at a different pace Your digestion may be on a different schedule altogether

Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day beyond 24 hours It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day That is why travelling in a westward direction is more body-clock friendly than flying east NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated with significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights When flying west, you are “extending” your day, thus travelling in the natural direction of your internal clock Flying eastward will involve “shrinking”

or reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock’s natural tendency

One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted There are many reasons for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels, trying to sleep when your body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal circadian clock and working longer hours Sleep loss, jet lag and fatigue can seriously affect our ability to function well Judgment and decision-making can be reduced by 50%, attention by 75 percent, memory by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent It is often suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to help you adjust to your destination’s schedule as soon as you arrive But it can take the body clock several days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone

Question 30 The main function of the body clock is to

A govern all the body’s responses B regulate the body’s functions

C help us sleep D help us adapt to a 24-hour cycle

Question 31 Jet lag

A makes our body clock operate badly B causes our body clock to change

C extends the hours of our body clock D upsets our body’s rhythms

Question 32 The word “malady” is closest in meaning to

A illness B bore C thought D feeling

Question 33 According to the article,

A various factors stop us sleeping when we fly

B travelers complain about the negative effects of flying

C flying seriously affects your judgment and decision-making

D jet lag can affect different abilities differently

Question 34 On the subject of avoiding jet lag the article

A makes no suggestions B says there is nothing you can do

C proposes gradually adjusting your body clock D suggests changing the time on your watch

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42

It may seem as if the art of music by its nature would not lend itself to the exploration and expression of reality characteristic of Romanticism, but that is not so True, music does not tell stories or paint pictures, but it stirs feelings and evokes moods, through both of which various kinds of reality can be suggested or expressed It was in the rationalist 18 th century that

musicians rather mechanically attempted to reproduce stories and subjects in sound These literal renderings naturally failed, and the Romanticists profited from the error Their discovery of new realms of experience proved communicable in the first place because they were in touch with the spirit of renovation, particularly through poetry What Goethe meant to Beethoven and Berlioz and what German folk tales and contemporary lyricists meant to Weber, Schumann, and

Schubert are familiar to all who are acquainted with the music of these men There is, of course,

no way to demonstrate that Beethoven’s Egmont music or, indeed, its overture alone

corresponds to Goethe’s drama and thereby enlarges the hearer’s consciousness of it; but it cannot be an accident or an aberration that the greatest composers of the period employed the resources of their art for the creation of works expressly related to such lyrical and dramatic subjects Similarly, the love of nature stirred Beethoven, Weber, and Berlioz, and here too the correspondence is felt and persuades the fit listener that his own experience is being expanded The words of the creators themselves record this new comprehensiveness Beethoven referred to his activity of mingled contemplation and composition as dichten, making a poem; and Berlioz tells in his Memoires of the impetus given to his genius by the music of Beethoven and Weber,

by the poetry of Goethe and Shakespeare, and not least by the spectacle of nature Nor did the public that ultimately understood their works gainsay their claims

It must be added that the Romantic musicians including Chopin, Mendelssohn, Glinka, and Liszt had at their disposal greatly improved instruments The beginning of the 19 th century produced the modem piano, of greater range and dynamics than there fore, and made all wind instruments more exact and powerful by the use of keys and valves The modem full orchestra was the result Berlioz, whose classic treatise on instrumentation and orchestration helped to give it definitive form, was also the first to exploit its resources to the full, in the Symphonic fantastique of 1830 This work, besides its technical significance just mentioned, can also be regarded as uniting the

characteristics of Romanticism in music, it is both lyrical and dramatic, and, although it makes use of a “story,” that use is not to describe the scenes but to connect them; its slow movement is

a “nature poem” in the Beethovenian manner; the second, fourth, and fifth movements include

“realistic” detail of the most vivid kind; and the opening one is an introspective reverie

Question 35 Music can suggest or express various kinds of reality by

A telling stories or minting pictures B stirring feelings and evoking moods

A the works of the rationalist musicians in the 18 th century

B Goethe, German folk tales and contemporary lyricists

C the thoughts of Beethoven, Weber, and Berlioz

D the art of music by the rationalist musicians

Question 38 The passage indicates that the Romanticist composers were inspired not only by lyrical and dramatic subjects but also by

A the rationalists B the creation of works

C the love of nature D the poetry of Goethe

Question 39 The Romantic musicians also made use of modern technologies such as
