When Karl Kim immigrated to the United States from Korea as a teenager ten years ago, he had a hard time learning English. Now he speaks it fluently, and recently he had a unique opportunity to see how our brains adapt to a second language. Kim is a graduate student in the lab of Joy Hirsch, a neuroscientist at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. He and Hirsch have recently found evidence that child . ren and adults don't use the same parts of the brain when learning a second language. The researchers used an inst.rur:r)ent called a functional magnetic resonance imager to study the brains of two groups of bilingual people. One group consisted of those who had learned a second language as children. The other consisted of people who, like Kim, learning their second language later in life. When placed inside the MRI scanner, which allowed Kim and Hirsch to see which parts of the brain were getting more blood and were thus more active, people from both groups were asked to think about what they had done the day before, first in one language and then the otber. (They couldn't speak out loud, because any movement would disrupt the scanning. Kim and Hirsch look specifically at two language centers in the brain-Broca's area, in the left frontal part, which is bel ieved to manage speech production, and Wernicl Hirsch to see which parts of the brain were getting more blood and were thus more active, people from both groups were asked to think about what they had done the day before, first in one language and then the otber. (They couldn't speak out loud, because any movement would disrupt the scanning. Kim and Hirsch look specifically at two language centers in the brain-Broca's area, in the left frontal part, which is bel ieved to manage speech production, and Wernicke’s area , in the rear of the brain, thought to process the meaning of language. Both groups of people, Kim and Hirsch found, used the same part ofWernicke's area no matter what language they were speaking. But their use of Broca's area differed. People who learned a second language as children used the same region in Broca's area for both languages. But those who learned a second language later in life made use of a distinct region in Broca's area for their second language - the one activated for their native tongue. How does Hirsch explain this difference?"When language is being hard-wired during development;' says Hirsch, "the brain may intertwine sound and structures from all languages into the same area. " But once that wiring is complete, the management of a new language, with new sounds and structures, must be taken over by a different part of the brain. A second possibility is simply that we may acquire language differently as chi ldren than we do as adults."lfyou watch mothers or family members teaching an infant to speak," says Hirsch."lt's very tactile, it's very auditory, it's very visual. There are a lot of different inputs. And that's very different from sitting in a classroom”. This text would probably be assigned reading in which of the following course? (A) Biology (B) Literature (C) Medicine (D) Neurol inguistics (E) Sociology

Ranking together with the wheel and the calendar as one of the Sumer's three most precious gifts to succeeding Western civilization was the invention of writing. To say that writing was "invented" is slightly misleading since the emergence of writing in Sumer was gradual, evolving over the course of a millennium from •the representation of ideas by means of pictorial conventions to writing (albeit not alphabetic writing) as we currently know it. Around 3500 BCE Sumerians had begun to carve pictures in stone or to stamp them on.clay as ownership marks: a picture might have stood for a person's nickname (perhaps a rock for "Rocky"). Some five centuries later the evolution toward writing had advanced vastly farther. By then Sumerian temple administrators were using many (33) ______ schematic pictures in combination with each other to preserve records of temple property. Although the script of this period was sti ll pictographic, it had advanced beyond pictures standing for people and tangible things to pictures standing. for abstractions: a bowl meant any kind offooq and a head with a bowl conveyed the• concept of eating.

(1 ) Men outrank women in all but one of the fifteen causes of death, and women live an average of five years longer than men do. (2) Although many people have long bel ieved that the reason for women's longevity was genetic, a new study published in the American Journal of Public Health indicates that American males are more likely than women to engage in risky, health-damaging behaviours. (3) In one study of American women, coffee drinkers were onethird less likely to commit suicide than noncoffee drinkers. (4) For example, 26 percent of men smoke, compared to 22 percent of women; men are also far more likely to abuse drugs, drive without seat belt, and ride motorcycles without helmets. (5) Thanks to macho attitude that drives men to tackle danger head-on, they are twice likely to get hit by lightning or to drown in flood waters. (6) Men also take care of their bodies less than do women, who are twice as likely as men to get an annual physical. (7) Also, men are less likely to seek professional medical help when they experience health problem. Then, too, men work in more dangerous professions than women, so males account for 90 percent of all on-the-job fatalities. The best concluding sentence for the paragraph is .... (A) Obviously, women are better than men in many things, including in • taking care of their health. (B) Men, unlike women, do not pay much attention to their health, so they rarely see the doctors. (C) Men would like to take challenges in their lives because they want to look macho. (D) Without a doubt, women live longer than men because their genes are better than men's. (E) Clearly, the study suggests that men's behaviour may actually be the reason that they don't live as long as women do.

Most of us heard the good advice that we need to eat less sugar - and rightly so. However, despite the numerous warnings by health authorities of the ill effects of sugar, the majority of the population is still consuming sugar on a daily basis in some form or other. We do not have to consume white, refined sugar to be consuming sugar. Sugar includes glucose, fructose (as in fruit sugar), lactose (as in milk), sucrose (as in table sugar), maltose or malts (as in rice malt and honey), jam (contains concentrated juice, which is high in fruit sugar), maple syrup, corn syrup, palm sugar (traditionally used in aerobiotic cooking), and the very deceiving organic brown sugar, which is not all that different from white sugar. 'Even alcohol is a sugar. All of these sugars are problematic in many different ways. The body changes sugar into 2 to 5 times more fat in the bloodstream than it does starch. With 146 proven reasons why sugar is bad for us, is there perhaps one single reason as to why we might need it? The only interesting thing about sugar is that it tastes good and makes us temporarily feel good. This is an area worth exploring. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, a 5.000 year old wisdom of self-contained knowledge of healing, we all need sweetness in our life. We need six tastes: sweet, sour, salty, astringent, bitter and pungent to stimulate the taste buds on our tongue at main meals, ih order to experience satiety. Many people really try hard to avoid sugar, and do not sweeten their tea or coffee, yet they crave sugar in some other form, such as chocolates, cakes, ice cream or even fruit - dates and figs. Dates are 99% sugar, in the form of fructose. When a person is in metabolic balance, they do not crave sugar. If they do, it is a sign of metabolic imbalance and it can be corrected without having to consume sugar. Based on the passage, it can be hypothesized that we will feel full if ... . (A) there is sugar in the food (B) we eat or drink something sweet (C) alcohol is served during meal time (D) tastes in the food complement each other (E) our body suffers from metabolic imbalance
