(3) She went on to work for a group that was working on a way to keep sharks away from torpedoes that were aimed at enemy submarines.

(1) Do you spend your days feeling slow and sluggish, still sleepy hours after getting out of bed?

(2) If you answered “yes” to that question, you need more exercise, not more sleep.

(3) The best way to get rid of that tired feeling that never seems to go away is to begin exercising as soon as you wake up. Now, you don’t have to do a weight lifting routine, go on a 15 mile bicycle ride, or do hundreds of sit-ups. All you have to do is get moving.

(4) One of the easiest ways to do that is to go for a walk as soon as you wake up. A walk will clear your head, get your muscles working, and remind you that there’s no chance of going back to bed. After your walk, you will not only be able to think clearly, but you will also have more energy and be prepared to tackle the rest of the day.

What is the central idea of the passage?

• People who exercise in the morning can only do one kind of exercise.

• People who feel tired all day should exercise as soon as they wake up.

• Walking is the best kind of exercise for people who wake up early.

• Morning exercise prevents people from getting back into their beds.

What is the central idea of the following passage?

^{What's that humming sound? Could it be hummingbird, the only bird capable of backward flight? Hummingbirds have many unique flight habits that distinguish them from other birds. Most birds flap their wings up and down to fly, but the hummingbird moves its wings forward and backward very rapidly in a figure eight pattern. This allows the hummingbird to hover in position, fly upside down, and move about very rapidly. And while other birds have to push off with their feet to begin flying, and work their ways up to their top speeds, the hummingbird can both start flying at maximum speed and stop flying instantaneously. After you've seen a hummingbird in flight, it's unlikely that you'll mistake them for another bird.}

• Birds and hummingbirds are very different.

• Hummingbirds fly in a figure eight pattern.

• Hummingbirds are known for their humming sound.

• The hummingbird flies in a very unique and unusual way.
