,Passage 2
Eating
Consumption of food is a universal necessity. Different cultures have developed different
methods to accomplish the task. It is interesting to discover these differences and learn new ways
to do things.
European cultures developed cutlery (knives, forks, and spoons) to enable people to efficiently
eat their food. Correct use of this tool’s changes with the times-what was polite in 1800 may not
be considered proper manners today.
China developed the chopstick as an efficient tool for eating. Mastery of the use of chopsticks
can be difficult for the person not raised in the culture. The attempts of a novice to use chopsticks
can be very amusing to the watcher, but frustrating for the hungry diner.
Space travel has created new challenges for consuming food. Squeeze bottles and other unique
packaging have enabled space travelers to get their needed nutrition. Chopsticks and forks do not
work well in space.

Exams
Subjective exams measure your ability in several areas. Besides recall information, you must be
able to realize content logically and intelligently express yourself in a clearly understood manner.
Subjective tests provide opportunity for students to show their broad knowledge of a subjective
area. Answers may be in the form of paragraphs or lengthy essays.
When your review for an essay exam, concentrate on main ideas rather than details. Since essay
tests are less to a few questions, they are likely to deal with more important ideas of a subject.
Prepare a list of question you think might be asked. Write an answer to each of your questions.
Rather than writing complete sentence down your thoughts in outline form. doing so will help
you organize the information so that you can express yourself clearly.
When you take the test, read through all the questions before you start to write. Allot time for
each question, spending more time for questions worth the most points. Read each question
carefully to determine exactly what they are asked. Pay attention to words such as define,
illustrate, explain, list, compare, and contrast. Each work requires a different type of response.
Write a brief outline of your answer on scrap paper or the back of the test. Make sure you include
all the important ideas that are within the limits of the question. In other words, do not write
more than is asked for each answer. When you write your answer, keep it specific and as brief as
possible. In the introductory sentence it is often helpful to make a general statement that includes
important points addressed in each question. Such a topic sentence serves as a framework for
your answer. Then use your outline to develop the main point and subtopics. Add substance to
your answer by including as many facts as possible to support your answer.
Check your paper before you submit it. Look for mistakes in grammar, spelling, sentence
structure, and punctuation. Unless you are certain an answer is wrong, do not change it. Your
answer is an educated guess and is usually your best chance of answering correctly.
