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.
By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can considerably
increase their children’s language development. It is surprising, but true. How parents talk to their
children makes a big difference in the children’s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child’s language skills increase.
 

A study was done with two or three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children
participants were in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the
experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggy doing?” rather than, “Is the doggy running away?” Experimental parents were also instructed how to expand on their children’s answer, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers.
 

At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language development, but
at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the control
group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.

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.
The elements other than hydrogen and helium exist in such small quantities that it is accurate to
say that the universe is somewhat more than 25 percent helium by weight and somewhat less than 75
percent hydrogen.

Astronomers have measured the abundance of helium throughout our galaxy and in other galaxies as well. Helium has been found in old stars, in relatively young ones, in interstellar gas, and in the distant objects known as quasars. Helium nuclei have also been found to be constituents of cosmic
rays that fall on the earth (cosmic rays are not really a form of radiation; they consist of rapidly moving
particles of numerous different kinds). It doesn’t seem to make very much difference where the helium is found. Its relative abundance never seems to vary much. In some places, there may be slightly more of it; in others, slightly less, but the ratio of helium to hydrogen nuclei always remains about the same.
 

Helium is created in stars. In fact, nuclear reactions that convert hydrogen to helium are
responsible for most of the energy that stars produce. However, the amount of helium that could have
been produced in this manner can be calculated, and it turns out to be no more than a few percent. The universe has not existed long enough for this figure to be significant greater. Consequently, if the
universe is somewhat more than 25 percent helium now, then it must have been about 25 percent helium at a time near the beginning.
 

However, when the universe was less than one minute old, no helium could have existed.
Calculations indicate that before this time temperature were too high and particles of matter were moving around much too rapidly. It was only after the one-minute point that helium could exist. By this time, the universe had cooled so sufficiently that neutrons and protons could stick together. But the nuclear reactions that led to the formations of helium went on for only relatively short time. By the time the universe was a few minutes old, helium production had effectively ceased.
Question 43: What does the passage mainly explain?
A. How stars produce energy
B. When most of the helium in the universe was formed
C. Why hydrogen is abundant
D. The difference between helium and hydrogen

Question 44: According to the passage, helium is ...............
