Directions:

√ Each recycling exercise is divided into three quizzes: 1)multiplechoice quiz; 2) sentence-completion quiz; 3) 60-word typing test. Time yourself when doing each.

√Do all four quizzes sequentially to maximize the recycling learning process.

√ When choosing a multiple-choice answer (Quiz #1), do not look for the perfect answer. For TOEFL, and for this text, there are no perfect answers. Choose the multiple-choice answer you think is closest in meaning.

√ For the sentence-completion quiz (Quiz #2), you will have to use the appropriate part of speech to complete each sentence. For example, you might have to change a singular noun to a plural noun, or a base verb to the infinitive according to the syntax of the sentence.

√ Abbreviations: n = noun, v = verb, adj = adjective, adv = adverb, phr = phrase, id = idiom, conj = conjunction.
