Section D (10 marks)

Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram. Fill in the numbered

blanks by using the information for the passage.

Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer

Food makes us feel good, but some people eat when they aren’t really hungry and eat to

simply feel good. This kind of eating habit is called emotional eating, which does not affect adults

but also young children. It isn’t a good thing.

A child’s eating habits can develop right from childhood. As we know, a baby cries out if he

doesn’t get milk at the usual time of the day. However, sometimes parents immediately stick a

bottle in a child’s mouth without trying to find out if the child is really hungry. In fact, children

may cry for other reasons. Even as children grow up and start going to school, parents sometimes

give them a chocolate bar if they become really unhappy. As the children further grow up, they

may become used to having a snack whenever they’re upset or low.

Therefore, they’d like to eat an emotional snack when they have the feeling of unhappiness

and boredom. Even when they don’t get high grades, aren’t popular at school or made fun of by

others, they will want something to eat. After having the snack, they feel a lot better.

Emotional eating in young children is a thing that needs to be taken seriously. To protect your

children from emotional eating, you should satisfy your child’s emotional needs in the best

possible way. This includes spending time with your child every day, taking an interest in his

school work, helping your child study, providing a health environment without tension at home,

etc. Don’t make the child lose face by scolding him. Develop confidence in your child. Make your

child eat enough once in a while. Reward him for his achievements.

All this will help your little one develop a healthy eating habit. And always remember love

and care is the key to helping your child out of trouble and grow up happily.

Section E (10 marks)

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the

information given in the passage and the required words limit.

I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school. I lived a

casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girl friends.

Little did I realize that casualness would certainly lead to loss.

Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FALL in more

than half the subjects. I didn’t care, at least not until my dad found about it. You see, I studied in

India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education,

my dad financed me.

Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He lost his temper but he

just told me, “Son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on”. It hit me like a roundhouse

kick (回旋踢) from Bruce Lee. I was shocked out of my bones. I couldn’t comprehend how to pay

off the debts that I had accumulated in college. I owed everybody money: the grocery store, the

bars, the restaurants, my friends, etc. I was living a life filled with credit.

When I went back to college, I knew that if I don’t change the way I live my life I won’t be

able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes. I quit smoking, cut off from my

friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my

engineering books.

One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude(优等成绩). Life was

never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and

do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me when I feel that

I’m about to lose or give up. It reminds me that I can do it.
