PASSAGE 1:
The cultural context can also influence life expectancy for men and women. (Life expectancy is the expected length of a person's life.) For example, women generally smoke cigarettes less than men, which has been proven to cause many health problems and to shorten lives.
Another factor that has influenced the lives of women is the lack of stress. Stress is well known to shorten lives. Until recently, women who worked were usually in less responsible, less stressful positions. At home, housework tends to keep women in better physical condition than men. This generally better physical condition is yet another factor in women's longer lives.
These cultural factors have played an important part for the women who are now getting old. But the social habits of women are changing. Young women are smoking more than women used to. More women are working now and holding more responsible positions. These changes may mean that the cultural context will no longer help women live healthier lives. However, women will continue to live longer than men because of certain other factors.

96- Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?

PASSAGE 2:
The advantages or positive points of e-readers certainly seem to be more than the disadvantages. They are light and mobile devices that can be taken anywhere. Taking one gadget on holiday allows us to take hundreds of novels with us without having to pay for extra luggage on the plane.
The electronic nature of e-readers gives us so much more than a print copy of a book can do. It lets us read in the dark (handy in case of a power cut). We can look up unfamiliar words in the in-built dictionary with just one click, we can make notes, and we never forget what page we were on: the e-reader remembers that for us. If our eyesight declines, we can make the letters bigger. We can re-read Jane Eyre as often as we like and the book will never look any worse for it. And even if our taste in books is unusual, nobody need know: others can't see what we are reading. Not only that, most e-books are cheaper than their print versions, and many older books can be downloaded for free.
So why have only one in three of us read an e-book? The answer must be that there is something special about the look, the feel, and maybe even the smell of printed books. `Real' books are objects that have a past and their physical presence surrounds us with happy memories.
