The John Hopkins School of medicine has a new surgical
assistant. His name is AESOP, short for Automated Endoscopic
System for Optimal Positioning.
The world's first robot in the operating room is just an arm
- an electronic limb that manipulates instruments (in particular,
miniature cameras used during surgery) usually controlled by a
human. But unlike a human, AESOP never bumps into anyone,
never drops the instruments and is rock steady. No matter how
long the operation, AESOP never tires to suffer from stress.
Besides providing the precision required for repetitive

actions during surgery, the machine also decreases the risk of
infection for patients and doctors. Plus, the robot does not have to
undergo years of education: AESOP is inexpensive compared
with the cost of training surgical specialists," says Dr. Louis Kavoussi,
director of the Brady Urogical Institute and a surgeon who tested
the robot. He and his team at john Hopkins Bayview Medical Centre
have performed several operation using the new robot, exploring
how doctors can work together with the new technology: surgeons
watching a monitor in an enteroom directed others working at the
operating table. Such procedures hold promise for battle field and
emergency operations in remote areas; surgeons in one part of the
world will be able to assist colleagues in another. With Aesop, says
Kovoussi, a much - needed specialist "could be in several different
hospitals in one day."

The Pacific Ocean is a body of water of immense size and
power. Its name, however, does not reflect the incredible size and
force of this body of water. In size, the Pacific Ocean is unequalled.
The ocean covers an area of 64 million square miles and is by far
the largest the world's ocean. It covers a third of the surface of the
earth, it is double the size of the Atlantic, and it contains more water
than all the world's other oceans combined. As a force of nature, the
Pacific Ocean can be very powerful indeed. The westerly winds
produce areas of stormy precipitation in some parts of the ocean.
Tropical, cyclones with winds that can be as high as 200 mile per
hour produce much of the rainfall in the pacific. In view of the ocean
was given its name by a Portuguese explorer Fredinand Magellan,
who sailed around the world in the early sixteenth century. The
word "pacific" actually means "peaceful". Magellan named this giant
of an ocean pacific because he found its waters to be so much more
peaceful than the rough and stormy water of the Atlantic that he had
crossed earlier in his voyages.
6. From the text we may conclude that
A. The pacific and the Atlantic are comparable oceans
B. There is a contrast between the name and the reality
of the pacific
C. The pacific is quite a peaceful ocean
D. Magellan overestimated the size and strength of the
pacific
E. Although it is largest ocean, the pacific does not produce
storms

Motion sickness comes in many forms, not just seasickness.
Ninety percent of the human race is susceptible to motion sickness
one kind or another. Some people become sick when they sit in the
backseat of a car; other cannot read or look at a map in any kind of
moving vehicle. People get motion sickness on airplanes,
motorcycles, amusement park rides, and even to camels! Scientist
have learned that motion sickness occurs then the brain is trying to
make sense of a situation and there are too many conflicting
messages. When the eyes are sending one message, the ears are
trying to send a message about balance. The skin and bone joints,
sensitive to air pressure, send another message.
Many people who have experienced violent motion
sickness try to avoid travel. But that is not always possible. So
travellers should employ some well-known strategies to avoid getting
sick. The most useful strategy concerns food: eat a light meal before
travelling and bring along a packet of plain soda crackers to snack
on regularly. Avoid alcoholic and carbonated beverages, high-fat
foods, and spices. Care in choosing the location of your seat is
another important strategy. In a car, sit at the front and keep your
eyes fixed on the horizon.
People who still got sick after trying these strategies can try
medical help. Some rely on ever counter medications, although
some of them can make you sleepy. Others use simple ginger
capsules to settle their stomach. A large number of travellers use
pressure bands on their wrists. It is not clear how these bands
work, but they do prevent motion sickness.

Traditional nineteenth-century education is usually
associated with the image of a stern teacher standing in front of a
blackboard in a one-room schoolhouse, teaching only the tree R’s
of reading, writing, and arithmetic, and demanding rote (mechanical
repetition) learning in a atmosphere of silence and restraint. Accurate
or not, that image conflicts sharply with the modern reality. Today,
the typical public school offers students a diversity of subject areas,
a plethora of educational materials, and a variety of activities from
creative dramatics to journalism. The modern school complex
contains an array of educational facilities. Within the classroom setting,
students are encouraged to speak up and engage in guided
discussion. In fact, articulate speech and debate are desirable skills.
Children are encouraged to interrelate on class projects that are
independent of the teacher.

India has a very poor rate of literacy, much lower than that
of countries like Korea, China and even Thailand. Due to this India
has to face a number of problems such as over-population, poverty,
unemployment, etc. It is found that in recent times the people of this
country have become more aware of these problems. Hence,
even the poorest are taking interest in getting their little ones
educated.
In India, there are a large number of old people who are
totally uneducated. Being illiterate, they are unable to understand
their rights and responsibilities towards their country. For them the
government has planned the system of adult education in villages
through certain systems like T.V. serials, documentary films, and
regular classes.
Adult education does not mean full and detailed education.
It mainly comprises knowledge of the three R’s include reading,
writing, and arithmetic. It means only fundamental and basic
knowledge which can make them aware of their basic rights and
responsibilities towards their own families and also towards their
nation.
Being illiterate, the elders do not know the full value of
education. Most of them belong to the labour class and they want to
see their little ones take up the same trade as theirs. But they are
unaware of the fact that an officer gets a monthly salary which may
be equal to the income of their whole family for many months,
maybe even a year. Adult education can therefore make them
understand the value of education.
Another benefit of adult education is that when these illiterate
people are educated, they will no longer be cheated by the crafty
traders. They will also be able to think about jobs which can fetch
them more wages. It is not so easy a task to make a fool of an
educated person. So, during the elections we can form a good
government that can lead our country on the path of progress. It
can happen only when our elders are educated. Only then can
they know about the true value of their vote.

A. Adult Education In India

Christopher Columbus is responsible for the present day
confusion over what a pepper is. The Piper ningrum variety of
pepper was highly valued for centuries, and high demand for
pepper by Europeans was a major cause of the fifteenth-century
push to locate ocean routes to the spice-growing regions of Asia.
When Columbus arrived in the New World in 1492, he was
particularly interested in finding a black pepper because of the high
price that it would command in Europe. Columbus came across
plants from the capsicum family in use among the people of the New
World, and he incorrectly identified them as relatives of black pepper.
Columbus introduced the spicy capsicum chilli peppers to
Europeans on this return from the 1492 voyage, and traders later
spread them to Asia and Africa.

The catastrophe called the great dying, which occurred
between the Permian and Triassic periods wiped out 90 percent of
the planet’s marine life and 70 percent of all plant and animal life.
The most recent popular scientific belief about what caused it was
the impact of a large object from space, but ht examination of sediment
and fossil deposited at the time has led two groups of scientists to
revise this belief.
Animals and plants both on land and in the sea were dying
at the same time and apparently from the same causes – “too much
heat and too little oxygen,” said Peter Ward, a university of
Washington Palaeontologist. In their research published in Science
Express, the groups found increased levels of sulphur and depleted
oxygen in the ancient rock. Ward and his team of researchers from
the United States and South Africa thought that the sulphur came
from continued volcanic eruptions in an area known as the Siberian
trap. The eruptions warmed the earth, trapped sunlight, and depleted
oxygen in the air.
At the same time, the earth’s shifting tectonic plates lowered
the levels of the ocean, exposing seabed’s and releasing methane
trapped in the sediment there, further increasing the global warming.
The temperatures kept rising so that it got hotter and hotter until it
reached a critical point causing everything to die. Temperatures
around the world rose 8 degrees, killing of plants which served as
food for animal, there bay starving them. In addition, oxygen levels
dropped to about 16 percent of the atmosphere, whereas levels
today are at 21 percent.
Therefore, it is believed that widespread volcanic eruptions
that led to global warming was likely the cause of massive extinction
250 million years ago, not the impact of an asteroid or comet.

to describe works and styles of art. One way that this term has been
used is to describe the early period within the development of a
certain style of art. Another way is to describe artists who have
received little professional training and who demonstrate a nontraditional
naiveté in their work. A wonderful example of this second
type of primitive artists is Grandma Moses, who spent all her life
living on a farm and working at tasks normally associated with farm
life. She did not begin painting until she reached the age of seventysix,
when she switched to painting from embroidery because the
arthritis in her hand made embroidery too difficult. Totally without
formal education art, she began creating panoramic image of
everyday life on the farm that have achieved international fame.
8. Which of the following does NOT show the characteristic of
“primitive art” ?
A. The artists did not have normal education
B. It shows a particular naiveté
C. The artists might not follow traditions
D. It does not have professional touch
E. The artists started producing works at old age
9. From the text we may concluded that ...
A. it is difficult to give a definition to primitive art
B. Grandma Moses embroidered panoramic image of farm
life
C. primitive art is a product of artists centuries ago
D. most primitive artists were people who live on farms
E. there is no difference between primitive and formal art

Scientist have experimented with a new procedure for
alleviating the damage caused by strokes. Strokes are frequently
caused by a blood clot staying in the tree of arteries in the head,
choking the flow of blood. Some brain cells die as a _10_ result of
the strokes, but others also die over several hours because the
proteins spilling out of the first cell that die _11_ a chemical chain
reaction that kills the _12_ cells. The current method of reducing the
amount of damage is to give a clot dissolver, _13_ as TPA, as soon
as possible. But generally TPA is not given to the patient until he or
she _14_ the hospital, and it still does not immediately stop damage.
The new technology, still in the research stage, involves cooling in
the area or the patient _15_. It is already known that when an
organ is cooled, damage is slowed. This is why sometimes a person
who _16_ into an icy pond is not significantly harmed _17_ being
warmed up again.

Heart disease is western society’s number-one killer. It
accounts for one – third of all deaths in America and for well over
half the deaths among middle-aged men. Hearth disease was
relatively rare in America at the turn of the century, but it has risen
dramatically since then, with a slight downturn in 1990.
Heart disease is often viewed as a disease of modern
living, spurred on the habits and the stress of industrialized society.
Evidence for this idea comes from the fact that non-Western societies
have relatively low rates of heart disease. And there is a higher
rate of heart disease among immigrants to America, such as Japanese
Americans and Chinese-Americans, than among those who remain
in their native country, suggesting that something about the western
environment promotes the development of the disease.
Heart disease usually involves the formation of fatty
substance called plague in the walls of the coronary arteries that
supply blood to the heart. If the arteries become narrowed enough
or blocked, the person may suffer a heart attack that is death of a
region of heart muscle tissue.
Among the many factors that have been found to be related
to the risk of developing heart diseases are high blood pressure, a
history of heart disease among one’s close relatives, cigarette
smoking, being relatively overweight, and a high level of fatty
substance called cholesterol in the blood. In addition to all of these
well-established risk factors, it is now clear that stress can have a
major impact to the development of heart disease. People who
continually undergo a great deal of stress – and who lack the ability
to control it – are at a significantly greater risk for disease than
people who undergo less stress or who can manage stress
successfully. Jobs that impose high psychological demands but that
provide the worker with the little control – such as a cook, waiter
and hospital orderly – seem to beed heart disease.
1. There is a higher number of heart patients among Japanese
and Chinese immigrants in the U.S. because
A. The U.S. has the highest rate of heart disease in the
world
B. They might not have been able to cope with the stress
of living in an industrialised society.
C. The food in the U.S. contains too much cholesterol
D. They are often unjustly treated in their adopted home
country
E. They work hard to create a better life for heir children
2. How serious is the prevalence of heart disease among
people living in the U.S.?
A. Fifty percent of the death is caused by heart disease
decreased sharply
B. In 1960 the rate of death cause by heart disease
decreased sharply
C. Thirty percent of the victims of heart disease were men
D. Heart disease ha always been rare among American
citizens
E. More than fifty percent of people in their 40s died of
heart disease
3. A person gets a heart attack when
A. plague is formed in the walls of the arteries
B. coronary arteries are blocked by a fatty substance
C. smoking cigarettes causes hypertension
D. a region of heart muscle tissue is dead
E. heart disease is genetic among close relatives

All Dutch children go through the same non-selective
primary school. They then go through a sophisticated assessment
process, based on which the head-teacher produces a
recommendation to the secondary school. As they enter secondary
school, pupils are divided into four pathways within the same school,
each studying the same 15 subject from the same books but at four
different levels and speeds. After two years, these four pathways
take radically different routes, which lasts a further four years; 25%
take the slightly less demanding academic route, which takes three
years; 45% take two-year academic route that includes some
practical vocational work; and the remaining 15% take an essentially
vocational pathway with some academic extras for two years

Seventy percent of the word’s fish stocks are now either
fully exploited, over fished, depleted, or rebuilding from previous
over-fishing. Marine pollution has also adversely affected fish
populations. As a result, world catches have levelled off since their
peak in 1989, when 85 to 95 million tonnes of fish were harvested.
It seems unlikely they will start rising again until efforts are made to
allow stocks to recover and then to fish them in a sustainable way.
Some scientists argue the solution to the fish shortage could
be aquaculture. This is another term for fish farming, that is cultivating
fish in controlled conditions, rather than catching whatever swims in
the sea. However, there are fears that aquaculture will create more
problems than it will solve.
Much fish farming relies heavily on fish feed, that is, capturing
small fish like mackerel and anchovy and feeding them to carnivorous
farmed fish. In the production of the ten most commonly farmed fish,
roughly 2 kg of wild fish feed are required for every kilogram of
farmed fish produced. This means that at the moment fish feed is
already further draining wild fish stocks, without even producing an
equivalent mass of farmed fish.
It is not only through changes in food chain interactions that
aquaculture depletes wild fish stocks, but also by spreading diseases
from farmed to wild fish. It’s difficult to persuade farmed fish to keep
to their habitat, as is shown by the fact that nearly half of the salmon
caught by North Atlantic fishermen are of farmed origin. A further
worry is that farmed fish may expand with wild fish and diminish the
genetic make up of their offspring, making them less well-adapted to
their environment than their wild parents.
1. What is happening with the world fish stocks?
A. world catches have stayed at a steady level since
1989
B. there is a sharp decrease in the world catch
C. marine pollution has killed the majority of fish at sea
D. after 1989, 95 million tons of fish were caught
E. at present, world catches remain seventy percent
2. The implementation of aquaculture to solve the problem of
fish shortage
A. may make the shortage of wild fish even greater
B. has sharply increased the number of fish
C. enlarges the supply of wild fish for feed
D. has only produced carnivorous kinds of fish
E. should immediately be introduced world wide
3. Which of the following is not true about the farmed fish?
A. The contaminate the wild fish with disease
B. They may not keep the genetic makeup of their offspring
C. They mix with wild fish in the ocean
D. They do not include salmon found in North Atlantic
E. They can escape to the Atlantic Ocean
4. From the text, we may conclude that the writer
A. is a scientist trying to solve the problem of fish scarcity
B. does not believe that the number of fish is depleting
C. is worried bout the depletion of wild fish
D. thinks that aquaculture has no disadvantages
E. Is a farmer who has an aquaculture business
5. “Rebuilding from previous over-fishing’-line I is an effort
A. to produce fish feed for aquaculture
B. to catch fish as much as possible at sea

The Pulitzer Prize came about as part of an attempt by
newspaper Joseph Pulitzer to upgrade the profession of journalism.
Pulitzer, the owner of the New York World and the St. Louis Post-
Dispatch, made a proposal in 1903 to Columbia University to make
$2 million request to the university for the dual purposes of
establishing a school of journalism at the university and also
establishing prizes for exceptional work in journalism and other
fields. However, the university did not initially respond as might
expect to such a seemingly generous offer.
Interestingly, Columbia University did not immediately agree
to the proposal by Pulitzer inasmuch as journalism was not held in
high regard in general and the Pulitzer papers were more known
for their sensationalization of the news than for the high quality of
journalism. The trustees of the university were not all sure that they
wanted a school of journalism because news paper reporting was
considered more of a trade than a profession at the time and they
did not to decrease the academic prestige of their institution. It took
year of discussions and negotiations before the terms for the
establishment of the school of journalism and the prizes bearing
Pulitzer’s name were agreed upon, and it was not actually until the
year after Pulitzer’s death in 1911 that construction began on the
building to house Columbia’s news school of journalism. The school
of journalism opened in 1913, and the first prizes were awarded in
1917, for work done the previous year.
The method for selecting Pulitzer Prize winners and the
categories for prize has changed slightly over the years. Today, 21
different awards are given in three different areas, with the majority
of award going to journalists; 14 or 21 awards are from various
aspects of journalism (i.e. news reporting, feature writing, cartoons,
and photography), 6 awards are given in letters (in fiction, non
fiction, history, drama, poetry, and biography), and I award in
music. Columbia University appoints nominating juries consisting of
experts in each field, and the nominating juries submit these
nominations for each category to the Pulitzer Prize board, which
make the decisions and awards the prizes.
1. The following were offered by john Pulitzer to Columbia
University except …
A. a large sun of money
B. the establishment of a school of journalism
C. a grant for a new study program
D. the addition of a new study program
E. scholarship for the best students
2. Historically, the Pulitzer prize was particularly meant to be
a warded to …
A. the Columbia university
B. the best work in journalism
C. the Pulitzer’s newspaper
D. the best school of journalism
E. the outstanding writer in literature
3. Why was Columbia University’s first reaction to
PULITZER’S offer negative?
A. The Pulitzer papers were known to focus on trivial
things
B. The need for journalists was at that time not yet
recognized
C. The study program offered was considered teaching
a skill not science
D. The offer has decreased the academic prestige of the

There is no stopping rock and roll. Since its birth in the
fifties, rock and roll has become the liveliest force in popular culture.
It was born as a child of jazz, blues and country music. More
recently, it has been influenced by movies, television, sex, drugs,
art, literature, and electronics. Since its birth, rock and roll has
grouped and regrouped into an explosion of styles folk rock, soul,
Motown, hard rock, jazz rock, heavy metal, punk rock, reggae,
new, wave, rap and so on. Each type has its own style, themes,
and stars. Two of the more successful styles are rap and reggae.
One of the newer styles of rock and roll is rap. Rap is a
form of dance music in which singers – rappers – speak in rhythm
and rhyme rather than sing. Rap first appeared in the mid-seventies
in the discos of New York City’s black neighbourhoods. Disco DJs
teamed up with rappers to play songs for dancers at parties. At first,
the role of the rapper was to keep the best going with hand claps
while the DJ changed record. Soon, rappers added lyrics, slogans,
rhymes, and call-and-response exchange with the audiences. Early
rap songs were mainly about dancing, partying, and the romantic
adventures of the rappers, but politics became an important theme
in the late eighties and nineties. Although rap is primarily the music
of young black males, the first white rappers appeared in 1980,
and a woman rapper, Queen Latifah, began her career in 1989.
M.C. Hammer’s 1990 album, Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt’Em has
sold fifteen million copies, making it the best-selling rap album of the
decade.
Another style of rock of rock and roll is reggae, which was
born on the Caribbean island of Jamaica in the sixties and spread
throughout world in the seventies. It developed from a kind of Afro-
Caribbean music called mento, which was sung and played on
guitars and drums. Some musicians changed mento into a music
style called ska by adding a hesitation beat. A few years later, other
musicians changed ska, and reggae was born. Reggae’s special
sound comes from reversing the roles of the instruments: the guitar
plays the rhythm and the bass plays the melody. An important
influence on reggae music was the Rastafarian cult. The
Rastafarians added unusual sound mixes, extra-slow tempos,
strange lyrics, and mystical-political themes. The best known reggae
musician in the United States is Bob Marley.
Rock and roll music is constantly changing, new styles are
born, grow, change and produce offshoots, which in turn grow,
change, and produce offshoots. Some styles enjoy lasting popularity,
but others disappear rather quickly. However, all contribute to the
power and excitement of rock and roll music in our time.

Stress is experience that puts pressure or a requirement
onus. That pressure means we have to adjust to our new situation or
environment. Stress can’t last for a short period, as when driver has
to act to avoid having an accident, or, it can last longer, as when a
woman is told she has a medical problem and thus must change her
diet or daily or routine in order to become well again. We all experience
stress in different ways. Some people experience stress as just
nervous or busy feeling. Other people experience stress so strongly
that it may cause them to seek professional help at a hospital. Still
other people may die from experiencing so much stress that it lead to
heart disease or other serious health related problem. Sometimes
these health-related problems are physical and other times they are
psychological. Some people have a personality type that causes
them to experience stress more than others. These people are often
impatient, competitive, and aggressive and always short on time.

One of the critical factors that play in susceptibility to colds is
age. A study done by the University of Michigan School of Public
Health revealed particulars that seem to hold true for the general
population. Infants are the most cold-ridden group, averaging more
than six colds in their first year. Boys more have cold than girls up
to age three. After the age of three, girls are more susceptible than
boys, and teenage three colds a year to boy’s two.
The general incidence of colds continues to decline into
maturity. Elderly people who are in good health have as few as on
or two colds annually. One exception is found among people in
their twenties, especially women, who show a rise in cold infection,
because people in this age group are most likely to have young
children. Adult who delay having children until their thirties and
forties experience the same sudden increase in cold infection.
The study also found that economy plays an important
role. As income increase, the frequency at which cold are reported
in the family decrease. Families with the lowest income suffer about
a third more colds than families at the highest end. Lower income in
general forces people to live in more cramped quarters than those
typically occupied by wealthier people, and crowding increase the
opportunities for the cold virus travel from person to person. Low
income may also adversely influence diet. The degree to which
poor nutrition affects susceptibility to colds is not yet clearly established,
but an inadequate diet is suspected of lowering resistance in general.

B. A research has revealed that colds are likely to attack
parents.
C. Compared to boys, girls are more susceptible to catch
cold.
D. Mothers who have young children are likely to be
infected by their children.
E. Age plays a contributing part in people’s susceptibility
to colds.
3. In what way can a family’s economic condition influence
cold susceptibility?
A. People with low income can prevent colds more than
others.
B. Cold susceptibility increase among people who are
wealthy.
C. Nutritious food is likely to make people susceptible.
D. The cold virus travels from wealthy to poorer families.
E. Living in cramped houses increases the susceptibility.
4. From the text, we may conclude that …
A. There are more than two factors influencing people’s
susceptibility to colds.

Languages are much like living creatures that become
endangered when numbers decline. Some linguists are taking action
in preserving endangered languages. They believe it should be a
priority since they are on the brink of extinction. Preservation can
occur in two ways. First, linguists can study dying languages and
seek to preserve the components of the language the seconds, the
vocabulary, the grammar, and the traditions. The second way is to
each children the language and have linguists advice on language
maintenance. An example of this latter method is the Maori language
of New Zealand. It has seen an increase in the number of speakers
between the 1960s and 1970s. New Zealand has since set up
‘language nests’ in early childhood centres to teach children the
Maori language, exposing 100,000 children to their native tongue
so far.

end?
A. Revival of languages such as the Maori languages is

passed on to children or when there is a dominant
language.
C. These methods have so far proved excellent to
preserve many endangered languages.
D. They believe that their language is on the brink of
extinction because their children can not use it.
E. Actions should be taken because a loss in global
languages nears a loss of the diverse ideas and
cultures.
