Eufracio Tolentino:I did regular exercise when I was young, but by my 30s, I had a family and a busy job. I neglected exercise for years. At 59, I had a stroke that resulted from lack of exercise. Now I visit a recovering center in the morning and spend my afternoons exercising. I encourage my friends a start exercising. If they don’t, engaging too much in their work or family, they may also suffer from a stroke.Raymond Chiew:Think you’re healthy just because you’re within your ideal weight range for your height Wrong! Take me as an example. I figured I got enough exercise playing tennis once a week, for I wasn’t overweight and didn’t smoke or drink. Then at 57, I woke up one early morning with chest pains and tests revealed that I had serious heart trouble. I was shocked. Now I walk for an hour every day and my doctor says that my heart is improving.Dr Santos-Ringor:Whether you hire a personal trainer, take exercise classes at the community center or rent exercise videos, spending money on fitness is really money well spent, for health is wealth. But if you can’ afford any of those, just get a comfortable pair of shoes: walk is free. I form an exercise group with friends, play catch with my kids or set aside Saturdays for long walks in the country.Ruth Cheah:You’re never too late or too out of shape to start exercising. I didn’t start to exercise on a regular basis until I was 59. Now, as old as 79, I take a daily 45-minute walk, go swimming twice a week. These exercises free me from medicines, and I feel active and alert. People tell me that I look younger than my age.V. M. Chandran:Many people start exercising because they want to lose weight, and when that doesn’t happen immediately, they may give up. But the same volume of muscle weights more than that of fat, so a large person who is fit could be healthier than a thin person who is not. When I saw my weight rise past 90 kilos in my late 40s, I began taking walks for 45 minutes a day. Even though I still weigh over 90 kilos, I feel much stronger. I’m proud to have muscles, not fat.Statements Eufracio Tolentino()

Questions 51-56 are based on the following passage.When important events are happening around the world, most people turn to traditional media sources, such as CNN and BBC, for their news. However, during the invasion of Iraq by the United States and its allies in early 2003, a significant number of people followed the war from the point of view of an anonymous Iraqi citizen who called himself “Salam Pax”(salam means“peace”in Arabic, and pax means“peace”in Latin).Salam Pax wrote a diary about everyday life in Baghdad during the war, and posted it on his web site. Pax’ online diary was a kind of web site known as a“blog.”Blogs, short for“web-logs,”are online diaries, usually kept by individuals, but sometimes by companies and other groups of people. They are the fastest growing type of web site on the Internet.In 2003, there were estimated to be several hundred thousand blogs on the Internet, and the number was growing by tens of thousands a month.A blog differs from a traditional web site in several ways. Most importantly, it isupdated much more regularly. Many blogs are updated every day, and some are updatedseveral times a day. Also, most blogs use special software or web sites which are specifically aimed at bloggers, so you don’ need to be a computer expert to create your own blog.This means that ordinary people who may find computers difficult to use can easily set up and start writing their own blog. In 2003, the Internet company AOL introduced their own blogging service, enabling its 35 million members to quickly and easily start blogging.There are many different kinds of blogs. The most popular type is an online diary of links, where the blog writer surfs the Internet and then posts links to sites or news articles that they find interesting, with a few comments about each one. Other types are personal diaries, where the writer talks about their life and feelings. Sometimes these blogs can be very personal.There is another kind of blogging, called“moblogging,”short for“mobile blogging.”Mobloggers use mobile phones with cameras to take photos, which are posted instantly to the Internet. In 2003, the first international mobloggers conference was held in Tokyo.The use of mobile phones in this way made the headlines in Singapore when a high school student posted on the Internet a movie he had taken of a teacher shouting atanother student, and tearing up the student’ homework. Many people were shocked by the student posting a video of the incident on the Internet, and wanted phones with ameras to be banned from schools.Many people think that as blogs become more common, news reporting will rely lesson big media companies, and more on ordinary people posting news to the Internet. They think that then the news will be less like a lecture, and more like a conversation, where anyone can join in. Which of the following is the most popular kind of blog

A. Personal diaries
B. Online diaries of links.
C. Mobloggings
D. Links of news reports.
