Passage 2

The U.S. team is one of three digging into what is now known to be a vast system of lakes and streams deep below the surface of Antarctica. A British team attempting to drill into much deeper Lake Ellsworth had returned home in December because of equipment failures, but a Russian team is also at work now retrieving core water from Lake Vostok. With much fanfare, the Lake Vostok core was pulled up last year from more than 2.5 miles (4 Kilometers) from the frigid surface. Vostok is much deeper and larger than any other Antarctica lake, and both it and Ellsworth lie under much colder ice and believed to have less subsurface water flowing in and out than does Whillans.

The existence of subglacial lakes and streams in Antarctica is a relatively new discovery, and the size of this wet world under the ice has only been grasped in recent years. Helen Fricker, a glaciologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a principal investigator of the Whillans team, first described Lake Whillans in 2007.

Using satellite data, she and her colleagues discovered a periodic rising and falling of the ice surface above the Whillans Ice streams between 2003 and 2006, and concluded that a lake was likely underneath.

Passage 3

The study’s findings are important because they use a biological marker to show a direct link between chronic stress and heart disease. Stressors, such as marital or financial troubles, have been linked to heart disease, but doctors could only rely on questionnaires to determine people’s stress level. This study looked at a more objective, measurable sign —the level of cortisol, a hormone released during stress— that shows up in the hair shaft. Measuring cortisol levels in hair also can indicate how long a person has been stressed, says Gideon Koren, one of study’s authors and a toxicologist at the University of Western Ontario. Cortisol, which is secreted by the adrenal glands, also shows up in urine and saliva, but that only shows stress at the moment of measurement — not over long periods of time.

 

“Hair grows about one centimeter (a fraction of an inch) a month, so if we take a hair sample, six centimeters (2.6 inches) long, we can measure the cortisol level and determine stress level for the past six months,” Koren says. This is critical, he adds, “because what kill is chronic stress.”

 

In the study, researchers took a 3-centimeter hair sample from 56 male heart attack patients admitted to Meir Medical Center in Israel. Hair samples were also taken from a control group, hospitalized for reasons other than a heart attack. The group did not differ significantly in terms of diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, and a family history of heart disease.

A. Although using questionnaires only, doctors can discover people’s degree of stress

B. Only questionnaires can inform doctors more accurately about people’s scale of stress

C. People’s stress levels are dependent merely on questionnaires for doctors to know

D. Questionnaires for doctors are only means understanding people’s stress levels

E. Questionnaires are only one of doctor’s efforts to predict people’s stress degree

Passage 4

Sometimes experience in other countries can help people to understand their own Identity better. Mahatma Gandhi was born 1869 at Portandar in western India. After studying in India, he dreamt of going to England to study. He was that his Hindu religion did not allow voyages abroad. However, Gandhi was very determined and he finally left for England in 1887. At first he tried to learn to behave like an English gentleman, but he soon learnt that it was better to be himself. He studied law in London, qualifying in 1891. He also learnt about other religions.

 

He returned home to India and worked as a lawyer for two years. After some Problems, he was offered a job in South Africa. Here he experienced racism as a member of the Indian community. He decided to fight for the rights of Indians using "passive resistance".

 

He had three main beliefs, namely nonviolence, religious tolerance and truth. When he finally returned to India in 1915, he became a great political leader. During the Fight for independence, he was often put in prison, but his beliefs never changed.

 

Gandhi had studied in Britain, so he understood the British better than they understood him. Gandhi's leadership led to independence, but, on the Independence Day, 15 August, 1947, Gandhi refused to celebrate. He was in favor of Hindu-Muslim Unity but Muslims and Hindus could not agree, so a separate Muslim state was formed In Pakistan. In 1948, Gandhi started fasting to death as a protest against fighting between Indian and Pakistan. He was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic on 30th January 1948. India and Pakistan are still fighting in Kashmir today. The fight for independence was a difficult one, but not as difficult as the fight for non-violence, religious tolerance and truth.

Passage 5

Education is often viewed as school in a traditional, formal sense. Many people believe that true learning can only take place in a formal classroom setting. Others feel Education occurs in many different forms and environments. There many not be a definitive answer to the question of, 'What is education?' However, we can start thinking about the purpose of education. Is it to educate youth to be responsible Citizens? Is it to develop individuals, as well as society, in order to ensure a society's Economic success? Or is it to simply focus on developing individual talents and Intelligence? Perhaps it is the balance of all three that defines education? While our answers may differ, we can perhaps agree that education is a basic human right. When that right is granted, growth and development, the society as a whole is more likely to improve in areas such as health, nutrition, general income and living standards and population fertility rates.

 

 

 

As global citizens, it is our responsibility to critically think about the issues and attempt to come up with solutions to the problems plaguing education. In 1990 UNESCO launched EFA, the movement to provide quality education for all children, youth, and adults by the year 2015. The unfortunate reality is that for many countries, larger issues come before improving the quality of education. How can we achieve the goals of EFA when numerous countries around the world are faced with challenges that seem far too impossible to overcome?

 

 

 

The answer lies in attempting to bridge some of the gaps that prevent developing nations to compete with developed nations. One example is that of providing greater access to technology and narrowing the ever widening digital divide. In many ways the most basic access to technology can serve as a valuable educational tool. Individuals who are not afforded this access are at a disadvantage when trying to grasp opportunities to make life better for themselves, their families, and their community.
