Nikola Tesla, a Serbian by parentage, began working for the phone company in Budapest. In 1882, he headed for Paris, where he took a job with the Continental Edison Company. He was invited to work stateside after his supervisor wrote a recommendation praising the young man as a genius on par with Thomas Alfa Edison himself. While he hired Tesla, Edison thought the man's ideas were "splendid" but "utterly impractical." Edison relied heavily on tedious experimentation for most of his discoveries, a commitment which some historians attribute partially to his lack of formal education. Tesla, in contrast, was an emotionally driven dreamer with years of engineering training, which allowed him to work out theories before physically implementing them. At same point, Tesla insisted that he could increase the efficiency of Edison's prototypical dynamos, and eventually wore down Edison enough to let him try. Edison, Tesla later claimed, even promised him $50,000 if he succeeded. Tesla worked around the clock for several months and made a great deal of progress. When he demanded his reward, Edison claimed the offer was a joke, saying, "When you become a full-fledged American, you will appreciate an American joke." Edison offered a $10/week raise, instead. Ever prideful, Tesla quit, and spent the next few months picking up odd jobs across New York City. Edison's least favorite of Tesla's "impractical" ideas was the concept of using alternating current (AC) technology to bring electricity to the people, Edison insisted that his own direct current (DC) system was superior, in that it maintained a lower voltage from power station to consumer, and was, therefore, safer. But AC technology, which al lows the flow of energy to periodically change direction, is more practical for transmitting massive quantities of energy, as is required by a large city, or hub of industry, say. At the time, DC technology only allowed for a power grid with a one-mile radius from the power source. The conflict between the two methods and their masters came to be known as the War of Currents. In the end, AC won out. George Westinghouse, an inventor, entrepreneur, and engineer who had himself been feuding with Edison for years, fulfil led Tesla's dream of building a power plant at Niagara Falls to power New York City, and built upon *its* principles the same system of local power grids we use today. (Adapted from various sources - PTT BPPK) Which one is the advantage of DC system? A. It is more economical to be applied. B. It is maintains a lower voltage from power station to consumer. C. It is more practical for transmitting massive quantities of energy. D. It allows for a power grid with a one-mile radius from the power source. E. It is principles the same system.

Also known as Hutchinson-Gilford Syndrome, Progeria Syndrome's an extremely rare genetic disease. In this disease the aging process of the body accelerates much faster than what it does in normal humans. This process of aging *gallops* to about seven times the normal rate. Because of this, a child of ten years would have a look of 70 years old. He or she may also have similar respiratory, cardiovascular, and arthritic conditions that a 70-year-old would have. There is no cure for this disease. The exact cause is unknown, but it is believed due to a single abnormal (mutant) gene. Normally for each gene there are two copies, one from each parent. Progeria is considered to be the result of a dominant mutation because the gene in question has one normal copy and one abnormal copy, as opposed to a recessive mutation in which both copies are abnormal. Because neither parent carries or expresses the mutation, each case is believed to represent a sporadic new mutation which happens at the time of conception. Progeria affects between 1 in 8 million (approx) children, with a total reported incidence of just over 100 in the century since it has been identified. There are currently between 30 and 40 known cases worldwide of Progeria. Children from all races and cultures from around the world have been affected. Because of the lack of a specific laboratory test at this time, the diagnosis must be based on the physical appearance of the individual. The diagnosis is usually made in the first or second year of life when skin changes and failure to gain weight become *apparent*. Research indicates that a chemical (hyaluronic acid) may befound in greatly elevated levels in the urine of Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome patients. The same abnormality has been found in Werner Syndrome, which is sometimes called 'progeria of the adult'. (Adapted from various sources - PTT BPPK) The author's main purpose in the passage is to .... A. show the cause of Progeria syndrome B. state the result of Progeria syndrome research C. give examples about the spread of Progeria syndrome D. give explanation about Progeria syndrome E. to scare the reader how dangerously of Progeria syndrome

Lymphatic filariasis, commanly know as elephantiasis, is a neglected tropical disease. Infection occurs when filarial parasites are transmitted to humans trough mosquitoes. When a mosquito with infective stage larvae bites a person, the parasites are deposited on the person's skin from where they enter the body. The larvae then migrate to the lymphatic vessels where they develop into adult worms forming 'nests' in the human lymphatic system. lnfaction is usually acquired in childhood, but the painful and profoundy disfiguring visible manifestations of the lymphatic filariasis leads to permanent disability. Currrently, more than 1 .3 billion people in 81 countries are risk. Approximatety 65% of those infected live in the WHO South-East Asia Region, 30% in the African Region and the remainder in other tropical areas. Lymphatic filariasis afflicts over 25 million men with genitel disease and over 15 million people with lymphoedema. Since the *prevalence* and intensity of infection are linked to poverty, *its* elimination can contribute to achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Lymphatic filariasis infection involves asymptomatic, acute, and chronic conditions. The majority of infections are asymptomatic, showing no external signs of infection. These asymptomatic infections still cause damage to the lymphatic system and the kidneys as well as alter the body's immune system. Acute episodes of local inflammation involving skin, lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels often accompany the chronic lymphoedema or elephantiasis. Some of these episodes are caused by the body's immune response to the parasite. However most are the result of bacterial skin infection where normal defences have been partially lost due to underlying lymphatic damage. When lymphatic filariasis develops into chronic conditions, it leads to lymphoedema (tissue swelling) or elephantiasis (skin/tissue thickening) of limbs and hydrocele (fluid accumulation). Involvement of breasts and genital organs is common. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The development of Lymphatic Filariasis. B. The expansion of Lymphatic Filariasis. C. The symptoms of Lymphatic Filariasis. D. The episodes of Lymphatic Filariasi. E. The effects of Lymphatic Filariasi.
