Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

We can never deny the importance of water in our lives, Without water, life cannot exist That being said, you may be surprised to learn that when drank too much, water can be just as dangerous as any type

of poison

The problem starts at your kidneys, which filter out excess waste and water from your bloodstream – they can only process 800-1,000 mL of water an hour So if you somehow manage to drink more than that, it means you're drinking water faster than your kidneys can process it all, and the unprocessed amount

of water will end up in your cells

Normally, your cells are surrounded by a balanced mixture of sodium and water, which flows in and out through tiny holes But when you drink too much water, sodium starts to dissolve, and some of that

extra water rushes into the cell to restore balance caused by loss of sodium, causing it to expand Doctors

call this water intoxication and it's a big problem

Most of your cells can handle the expansion to a degree since they are soft and flexible But it’s not

the same in your brain: because your skull is hard like a rock, pressure will build up in your brain as your

brain cells expand, which can lead to headaches and confusion And as the pressure increases, you risk brain damage, coma, and even death A 64-year-old woman, for example, died after drinking 30-40 glasses

of water

The good news is that there's an easy way to stay safe The daily water intake of an average healthy adult is somewhere around 3-4 litres of water a day And since this can come from food and other drinks too, you only need to drink water when you're really thirsty, and then stop

C What happens when you drink too much water D The best amount of water to drink every day Question 40: According to paragraphs 2 and 3, when you drink too much water,

D your kidneys cannot keep water and waste out of your blood

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

If the thought of having to cook an entire meal for your family always makes you nervous or scared, you are definitely not alone Fortunately, there might be a solution for you in the near future – a number

of tech firms are now developing robots that can cook and plate up entire meals, both for commercial and domestic kitchens

One of those at the forefront is London-based Moley Robotics, which will introduce its product, the Moley Robotic Kitchen, to the wider public next year Attached to rails fitted to the ceiling and hanging over your kitchen, two robotic arms can cook more than 5,000 different recipes You just pick the dish in question on a touch screen, add the ingredients it tells you to the built-in containers, and it does everything

else Moley enlisted Tim Anderson, the winner of MasterChef UK 2011, to help develop their robot "I

would cook through the given recipes in a kitchen, and my movements would be recorded, and then transferred onto the robotic hands and arms," says Mr Anderson, who is the owner and former head chef

of two Japanese restaurants

For any home cook wishing to place an order, there is currently a significant problem - the cost The minimum price of a Moley Robotic Kitchen is £150,000 That being said, the price of such systems is likely to drop, says Julia Segal, senior strategist at US food consultancy The Culinary Edge: "Many of these

technologies start well out of reach of the average home cook However, as they continue to proliferate,

costs will eventually come down as supply gradually becomes higher than demand."

There are also other concerns Mikaela Leal, a data scientist and expert in machine learning, warns

that despite the exciting benefits that they offer, such as reducing dangerous viruses in food or ensuring

consistent food quality, robot chefs can also “result in significant job losses and a need for human chefs to drastically change how they work and cook”, Leal comments

Meanwhile, Wesley Smalley, the head chef of a fine dining restaurant in Berkshire, UK, says that while kitchen robots offer convenience, they won't interest the higher end of the market "I don't believe robots can replace the human touch, especially when it comes to quality restaurants and pubs," he says." The changes and variations of ingredients would not allow a robot to adjust or change a recipe according

to their flavour characteristics “And let’s not forget that after all, we will still need people to program it and stock it with the right ingredients.”
