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 29 to 33.
Ostriches are the largest and heaviest birds on earth. They can grow to be as tall as 9 feet
and can weigh as much as 250 pounds. Even though they have wings, they cannot fly. Instead,
ostriches have long, powerful legs that help them to run very fast when they feel threatened.
Ostriches use their wings to move themselves forward and to help them change direction.
Ostriches are native to Africa, where they still live in desert areas and dry, open grasslands
called savannahs. Ostriches can also be found in zoos all over the world. Humans have
domesticated ostriches, so now ostriches live on farms in over a dozen countries, including the
United States, China, India, Japan, Brazil and Costa Rica. They are raised for their meat, skin, and
feathers.
Ostriches like to live in small groups called herds. The male ostrich is called a rooster; the
female, a hen. Baby ostriches are called chicks. The female ostrich lays the eggs, but both the male
and the female take turns sitting on the eggs to keep them warm.

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 34 to 40.
Due to the nature of our business, it's sometimes necessary that our staff work at night.
Night shifts can be particularly demanding on employee wellbeing and health. This can include
disruption to the body clock, fatigue, sleeping difficulties, disturbed appetite and digestion,
reliance on sedatives or stimulants, social and domestic problems and other symptoms of ill
health. To combat this, we do not have employees on night shifts for extended periods. This is
because workers' bodies will just have started to adapt to the new pattern.
We find rotation shifts every two to three days are best for workers and weekly or
fortnightly rotations are the least comfortable for workers. Forward-rotating programs (moving
from morning to afternoon to night shifts) are better than backward-rotating ones in terms of
sleep loss and tiredness.
If someone works at night, there are rules covering the hours they work. Night time
working hours are usually between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. – but this can be flexible and should be
discussed between you and us. To qualify as night working, the night time period must be no
more than 8 hours long and include the period between midnight and 5 a.m. Any of our staff
under 18 years are not allowed to be night workers.
We must make sure that you don't work more than an average of 8 hours in a 24-hour
period. By law, you can't opt out of this working limit. We must also keep records of any night
workers' working hours to prove they aren't exceeding night working limits, and we must keep
the records for at least 2 years. These records can be inspected by you at any time on request.
Our usual limits and regulations for night workers do not apply to self-employed workers.
This does not include agency workers, who are treated as normal workers with us.
If you agree to working at night for us, the agreement will be put in writing. If you are to
begin working at night, we must perform a health assessment before you become a night worker
and on a regular basis after that. Usually, this is just done with a questionnaire, which was created
in collaboration with qualified health professionals. If there are any health questions regarding
your health and night work, we will offer you a follow-up examination by a health professional if
you still wish to work nights.
(Adapted from IELTS 5 practice Tests)

Question 37: In paragraph 6, who were consulted when creating the health assessment questionnaire?
A. night workers
B. a health assessment
C. lead assessors 
D. qualified health professionals
Question 38: The word “opt out of” in paragraph 4 is closet in meaning to ______.
A. reject
B. pay a visit
C. choose not to join D. work overtime
Question 39: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The company must retain records relating to night workers' hours for leastwise 2 years.
B. Under existing regulations, night time working hours are required to be from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
C. The maximum length of a night shift at the company is 24 hours.
D. Backward-rotating shift schedules are best for minimising employees' fatigue.
Question 40: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Night working can be available at any time on workers' request.
B. It is reasonable for us to work on a night shift in order that we can get extra income.
