Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.

Scientists used that our 24-hour cycle of sleeping and waking was controlled only by outside factors. They thought that the most notable of these was the rising and setting of the sun. However, they have now discovered that our body has its own internal rhythm that controls many biological functions, such as body temperature, digestion, and mental activity. This “body clock” helps us for changes in the environment. For example, our body temperature starts to rise in the morning to get us ready for the day, and falls in the evening to help us sleep.

Some people’s body clocks don't work as well as others, which can cause problems in their daily life and even their health. Conditions like insomnia, depression, tiredness, poor work , and accidents can be caused or worsened by body clocks that don't work properly. People who travel between time zones often struggle jet lag because their body clocks don't adjust quickly. Also, shift workers who work at night can face health problems because their body clocks are not in sync with the natural day-night cycle. Research is being done to help people adjust their body clocks to improve sleep and health.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Imagine two babies born on the same day -  one in Tokyo, one in Paris. By the time they turn five, they will pronounce words in completely different ways, even if they later learn the same new language as adults. Why does this happen?

The answer starts in early childhood. When babies listen to the people around them, their brains carefully learn the specific sounds of that language. At the same time, babies practice moving their tongue, lips, and jaw to copy those sounds. Every language uses a different set of mouth movements - some need tight lips, others need a relaxed jaw - and by around the age of five, these movements become natural habits, almost like muscle memory.

This is why learning a new language as an adult is so difficult. Your brain already has strong habits from your first language, so it naturally tries to use those same old mouth movements for new sounds. As a result, adults often pronounce foreign words using sounds that feel familiar from childhood, even without realizing it.

This is also why having a foreign accent is not a mistake. It simply shows which language your mouth muscles learned to move in first. Even people who speak a second language perfectly for decades often keep a small accent, because those very first childhood habits are extremely hard to fully replace.

So next time you notice someone's accent, remember: it is not a flaw. It is a small trace of their first language, still living inside the way they speak.

Why does the author compare two babies from Tokyo and Paris?

  • To illustrate that accent differences begin very early.

  • To prove that Japanese and French are the two hardest languages for adults to learn.
  • To show that babies born in different countries have different brain sizes.

The word "it" in paragraph 3 refers to _____.

  • your brain
  • your first language

  • your first sound

The word "familiar" in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _____.

  • common
  • strange
  • clear

What can be inferred comparing a child who moves at age 2 vs. age 8?

  • The younger child is more likely to sound native.

  • Both children will develop the perfect local accent.

  • The older child will find it easier to sound native.

How does the author develop the explanation in the passage?

  • by comparing two babies from different countries, then explaining the biological process behind accents and how it affects adult learners
  • by listing scientific statistics about how many adults successfully lose their accents
  • by describing the historical origins of different languages around the world
