Most people think that lions only come from Africa This is understandable because

in fact most lions do come from there but this has not always been the case If we went backten thousand years we would find that there were lions roaming vast sections of the globe

However no, unfortunately only a very small section of the lion’s former habitat remains.

Asiatic lions are sub-species of African lions It is almost a hundred thousand years

since the Asiatic lions split off and developed as a sub-species At one time the Asiatic lion

was living as far west as Greece and they were found from there, but in a band that spreadseast through various countries of the Middle East, all the way to India In museums now, youcan see Greek coins that have clear images of the Asiatic lion on them Most of them aredated at around 500 B.C However, Europe saw its last Asiatic lions roaming free to thousandyears ago Over the next nineteen hundred years the numbers of Asiatic lions in the otherareas declined steadily, but it was only in the nineteenth century that they disappeared fromeverywhere but in India

The Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in India was established especially to protect the Asiaticlion There are now around three hundred Asiatic lions in India and almost all of them are inthis sanctuary However, despite living in a sanctuary, which makes them safe from hunters,they still face a number of problems that threaten their survival One of these is the ever-present danger of disease This is what killed more than a third of Africa’s Serengeti lions in

1994, and people are fearful that something similar could happen in the Gir Sanctuary andkill off many of the Asiatic lions there

India’s lions are particular vulnerable because they have a limited gene pool The

reason for this is interesting – it is because all of them are descended from a few dozen lionsthat were saved by a prince who took a particular interest in them He was very healthy, and

he managed to protect them otherwise they would probably have died out completely

When you see the Asiatic lion in India, what you sense is enormous vitality They are veryimpressive animals and you would never guess that they this vulnerability when you look atthem

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health Although science has

made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many

foods unfit to eat Some research has shown that perhaps 80% of all human illnesses arerelated to diet and 40% of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon.People of different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of thecharacteristic foods they consume

That food is related to illness is not a new discovery In 1945, governmentresearchers realized that nitrates and nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meats) as

well as other food additives caused cancer Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain on our

food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaginglabels of processed food are healthful or harmful

The additives that we eat are not all so direct Farmers often give penicillin to cattle

and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows

Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but forfinancial reasons The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain ahigher price on the market Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has triedrepeatedly to control these producers, the practices continue

A healthy diet is directly related to good health Often we are unaware of detrimentalsubstances we ingest Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize theconsequences add these substances to food without their knowledge

Question 43: How has science done a disservice to people?

A. Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually eradicated

B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food

C. As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added

C. Researchers have known about the potential hazards of food additives for more than 45 years

As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers

have become increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart

attacks High-fat diets and “life in the fast lane” have long been known to contribute to 5 the highincidence of heart failure But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantlylonger and quite surprising

Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal 10 patterns Ahigher percentage of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure

on Monday than on any other day of the week In addition, people are more susceptible to heart

attacks in the first few hours after waking Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon

in the mid-1980, and have since 15 discovered a number of possible causes An early-morning rise

in blood pressure, heart rate, and concentration of heart stimulating hormones, plus a reduction ofblood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between thehours of 8:00 A.M and 10:00 A.M

In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors.Statistics reveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in the fewdays immediately preceding and following their birthdays And unmarried men are more 25 at riskfor heart attacks than their married counterparts Though stress is thought to be linked in some way

to all of the aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of furthercomprehending why and how heart failure is triggered

Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A.risk factors in heart attacks

B.seasonal and temporal patterns of heart attacks

C.cardiology in the 1980s

D.diet and stress as factors in heart attacks

following?

Question 39: The phrase “susceptible to” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by

Question 40: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a possible cause of many

heart attacks?

A decreased blood flow to the heart B increased blood presure

Question 41: Which of the following is NOT cited as a possible risk factor?

Question 42: Which of the following does the passage infer?

A.We now fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks

B.We recently began to study how risk factors trigger heart attacks

C.We have not identified many risk factors associated with heart attacks

Aging is the process of growing old It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of

course, that an illness or accident does not kill it prematurely The most familiar outward signs of

aging may be seen in old people, such as the graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin Signs

of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in hearing andeyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat Plants age too, but the signs are much harder to detect.Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood Theyreach their peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood After that, they begin to decline Bones,

for example, gradually become lighter and more brittle In the aged, the joints between the bones

also become rigid and more inflexible This can make moving very painful

All the major organs of the body show signs of aging The brain, for example, works lessefficiently, and even gets smaller in size Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down Oldpeople often have trouble in remembering recent events

One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead fromthe heart They become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest of body.This condition accounts, directly or indirectly, for many of the diseases of the aged It may,forexample, result in heart attack

Aging is not a uniform process Different parts of the body wear out at different rates Thereare great differences among people in their rate of aging Even the cells of the body differ in theway they age The majority of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during thecourse of a lifetime Nerve cells and muscle fibers can never be replaced once they wear out

Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging-believe this wearing out of thebody is controlled by a built-in biological time-clock They are trying to discover how this clockworks so that they can slow down the process This could give man a longer life and a great number

of productive years

Question 43: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
