Scientists have developed a new bionic computer chip that can be mated with human cells to combat disease The tiny device, smaller and thinner than a strand of hair, combines a healthy human cell with an electronic circuitry chip Doctors can control the activity of the cell by controlling the chip with a computer
It has long been established that cell members become permeable when exposed to electrical impulses Researchers have conducted genetic research for years with a trial-and-error process of bombarding cells with electricity in an attempt to introduce foreign substances such as new drug treatments or genetic material They were unable to apply a particular level of voltage for a particular purpose With the new invention, the computer sends electrical impulses to the chip, which triggers the physicians to open a cell’s pores with control
Researchers hope that eventually they will be able to develop more advanced chips whereby they can choose a particular voltage to activate particular tissues, whether they be muscle, bone, brain, or others They believe that they will be able to implant multiple chips into a person to deal with one problem or more than one problem

Collecting coins can be a good investment, but it requires the study of popularity, availability, and grading techniques Some coins are more desirable than others, their popularity being affected by the artists’ talent, the subject of design, the material from which the coin is made, and the time period when the coin was created Availability is just as critical Providing the coin is otherwise interesting or pleasing to the eye, the number of coins minted and available on the market seems to have a direct relationship to the popularity
The ability to grade coins is perhaps the most important requirement of a collector A coin that is popular and scarce, which would normally make it valuable, may be worth much less or nothing at all if it has a low grade Grading is standardized, and one can buy books and take courses on how to it
(5)and a good eye to tell the difference between coins in this range The things one considers include whether the coin has contact marks, which are marks obtained when coins bounce against each other in a coin bag; hairlines, which are marks appearing on the face of the coin from the minting process; luster, which is the natural coloration; and eye appeal For example, an MS-70 is said to have no contact marks, no hairlines, very attractive and fully original luster, and outstanding eye appeal, while an MS-60 may have heavy contact marks, noticeable hairlines, impaired luster, and poor eye appeal
Below the mint state coin, the letter designation and number have the same meaning That is, there are generally no numbers within the range of letters But there are categories:
Coins that are About Uncirculated: Very Choice About Uncirculated, known as AU-58; Choice
About Uncirculated, known as AU-55; and About Uncirculated, known as AU-50
Coins that are Fine: Choice Extremely Fine, known as EF-45; Extremely Fine, known as EF-40;
Choice Very Fine, known as VF-30; Very Fine, known as VF-20; and Fine, known as F-12
Coins that are Good: Very Good, known as VG-8; Good, known as G-4; and About Good, known
as AG-3
Thus, a circulated coin can have a number designation between and 58, with only the numbers shown above available That is, one can not have a coin with a grade of 6, for example It is either G-4 or VG-8 It is possible for a coin labeled G-4 or even AG-3 to be extremely valuable, but generally it will be a coin that is almost unavailable in higher grades Books and publications monitor the coin market regularly, just like the stock market is monitored, and they described a coin’s type, date, and grade, assigning a price to every one unless that grade would have no value
In general, coin collectors loathe cleaned coins, so artificial cleaning by adding any chemical will detract greatly from a coin’s value A true coin collector will say the dirt in the creases is a positive attribute and much preferable to a leaned coin
41.A good title for this passage would be
A Coin Grading - One of the Most Important Skills in Coin Collecting B How Popularity and Availability Affect Coin Value
C How to Grade Coins - A Detailed Study D The Financial Benefits of Coin Collecting
42.The one grading category that has the most number grades within it is A Mint State B About Uncirculated C Good D Fine 43.All of the following grades would be possible except
A MS-64 B AG-3 C AU-56 D VF-30
44.The author implies that
A The only difference between an MS-60 and an AU-58 may be that the AU-58 has been in circulation B One must be a professional in order to obtain information on coin value
C Cleaning a coin can increase its value D A low-grade coin never has value
45.The author implies that the most important feature of a coin is its A date B depiction C grade D artist 46.The author implies that availability is primarily related to A the popularity of a coin
B the material used to create a coin C the age of a coin
D the number of coins of a given type and date that they were minted 47.According to the author, the phrase contact marks means
