READING Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
In two studies publicly presented on Monday at the annual meeting of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in Orlando, Florida in the United States, scientists have disclosed new steps toward using natural adhesives made by the dusky Arion slug (Arion subfuscus) in medical
applications such as in closing skin wounds and reducing scarring
Arion slug secretes an unusual glue, making itself a difficult target for predators This glue remains both sticky and flexible and works even when the surface the slug is on is wet Previous studies have shown that, unlike many artificial adhesives, Arion slug glue is non-toxic to mammalian tissue
Scientist Rebecca Falconer, an Ithaca College undergraduate who led one of the two studies, said "Typical sutures like staples and stitches often lead to scarring and create holes in the skin that could increase the chance of infection after surgery [ ] Understanding the roles of adhesive proteins in the slug glue would aid in the creation of a medical adhesive that can move and stretch yet still retain its strength and adhesiveness." In her set of experiments, Falconer observed eleven proteins found only in the Arion slug glue and used DNA recombination to produce usable amounts of each of these proteins, whereas Christopher Gallego-Lazo, also an Ithaca undergraduate, evaluated the glue by focusing on the chemical bonds within it Gallego-Lazo found that slight changes in these chemical bonds could alter the strength of the slug glue
Gallego-Lazo said, "Few studies on biological adhesives have identified the exact nature of the bonds holding the glue together This knowledge can guide the development of an organic synthetic adhesive that would reduce the risk of infection and scarring compared to stitches and staples and could be applied rapidly and simply."

READING Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
People commonly complain that they never have enough time to accomplish tasks The hours and minutes seem to slip away before many planned chores get done According to time management experts, the main reason for this is that most people fail to set priorities about what to first They get tied down by trivial, time-consuming matters and never complete the important ones
One simple solution often used by those at the top is to keep lists of tasks to be accomplished daily. These lists order jobs from most essential to least essential and are checked regularly through the day to access progress Not only is this an effective way to manage time, but also it serves to give individuals a much- deserved sense of satisfaction over their achievements People who not keep lists often face the end of the work day with uncertainty over the significance of their accomplishments, which over time can contribute to serious problems in mental and physical health
