Passage 1

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

Long-distance running may not be the best exercise for you if you want to lose weight. A pound of body fat contains about 3,500 calories. Ittakes a calorie deficit of 3,500 to lose a pound of body fat. Competitive marathoners ran up yet ranched themselves of fat, while only just maintaining their original weight. And a small study suggests they may even gain weight during the race.

Researchers gathered male marathon finishers from 2009 and 2010 for the study. They recorded athletes' weight and time in the 24 hours before and after the marathon. Most runners had a small amount of weight loss after the race. But 7% of runners gained weight. Those that gained weight had lost less weight during the race than those who lost weight. And the slower the runner, the more likely he was to pile on pounds.

Study author Beatrice Lukejp, a nutrition professor at Luther College in Iowa, disagrees that Body Mass Index (BMI) is the best way to assess body fat levels, but it is a common method. Luke made sure runners didn't tank up before the race. Her study suggests runners who piled on weight simply replaced burned glycogen with water during the race and took in more carbohydrates than they burned.

Passage 1

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

Despite all the hardships, may illegal immigrants do find success when they settle in the United States. Roughly 11 million people live in the US without proper permanent resident documents. These people live in fear of deportation and have a very difficult time finding work since they are not authorized to be there. However, many illegal immigrants still manage to find good jobs, although lower-paying ones than they might be qualified for. Many others find ways to create their own jobs, opening small businesses and providing services to their fellow immigrants. In fact, according to the Partnership for New Americas, immigrants in the US start their own businesses at twice the number for native-born citizens.

Some illegal immigrants even manage to build large-scale businesses that create jobs and significantly contribute to the local economy. These businesses often operate in sectors that are not heavily regulated by the government, such as landscaping or construction. Others start small businesses that offer services needed by their communities, such as grocery stores or restaurants. Many immigrants take on backbreaking work in order to support themselves and their families. They often work long hours in low-risk jobs, with little to no safety nets should they become unable to work. They have no protections under labor laws and can be mistreated, underpaid, or fired without notice. But despite these factors, many illegal immigrants are able to create a better life for themselves than they had in their home country.

1. According to the passage, what is the main hardship faced by illegal immigrants in the US?

A) Finding work

B) Low pay

C) Risk of deportation

D) Mistreatment

2. According to the passage, many illegal immigrants start their own businesses ______.

A) to hire fellow immigrants

B) to avoid government regulation

C) to contribute to the local economy
