Passage A.
TORONTO•Ohio University scientists have identified genes that may be involved in protecting the kidneys of diabetics from damage, a first step in the development of a drug or therapy for millions of people who suffer from kidney failure as a result of the disease.
The research, presented June 22 at the Endocrine Society annual meeting in Toronto, pinpoints three genes that may play a role in diabetic kidney disease, shich affects between 1.5 and 3 million Americana. To understand the roots of this common complication, scientists examined gene function in healthy and sick mice. Earlier studies at Ohio University’s Edison Biotechnology Institute found a connection between growth hormone and diabetic kidney disease-diabetic mice engineered without the growth hormone receptor didn’t get kidney disease.
Researchers focused their studies on the genetic structure of these kidneys to find out why they had escaped damage. “We have to look at what genes growth hormone affects because you can’t do away with growth hormone itself,” said Karen Coschigano, an EBI scientist and lead author of the recent study. “We don’t want to lose the good things that growth hormone does.”
For this new study, researchers examined the damaged kidneys of diabetic mice, the healthy kidneys of normal mice and the healthy kidneys of diabetic mice lacking the growth hormone receptor. Scientists noticed that two genes at work in the third group were inactive in the normal mice and in the diabetic mice with kidney disease. They identified a third gene that was inactive in the mice missing the growth hormone receptor- but active in the other two groups. The finding points to a possible genetic cause of the disease.
The following questions are based on passage A. Choose one best answer for each question.
1. The best title for this passage could be:
a. Diabetics and kidneys b. The relationship between healthy kidneys and genes c. Genes may help protect kidneys from diabetes damage
d. Drugs in therapy of kidney disease
2. What could be the most reasonable topic for the paragraph follows the above passage?
a. The moral debate in using mice as experiment subjects b. The idea to discover drugs that would regulate certain gences c. The benefits of hormone d. the danger of the abuse of hormone.
3. Which of the following is true:
a. the development of a drug for diabetics who suffer from kidney failure is now completed. b. A study presented in June 22 proposed that four genes may play a role in causing kidney failure. c. Earlier studies at Edison Biotechnology Institute found a connection between growth hormone and diabetic kidney disease d. To cure the diabetic kidney disease, researchers suggested to get rid of the growth hormone.
4. How many genes are found active in the healthy kidneys of diabetic mice lacking the growth hormone receptor but inactive in the other two groups?
a. one b. two c. three d. four
5. How many genes are found inactive in the healthy kidneys of diabetic mice lacking the growth hormone receptor but active in the other two groups?
a. one b. two c. three d. four
Passage B
Either on the phone or in person, ask the seller a few general questions to evaluate both their knowledge and the car’s condition, as well as possible problems. Be forewarned that car sellers might not be aware of any troubles. Even if they do, they may understate them. Here are good questions to ask:
l Are you the first owner? If the owner has cared for the car, there will usually be receipts to prove it.
l What’s the mileage? Don’t emphasize this too much, but do take it into account. Ask if they drove mostly on highways or in the city, Highway miles are better, but this is still only one indicator. Accurate mileage can be assessed through maintenance records or by checking the stickers on the inside of the driver’s door.
l Why are you selling the car? “Because I had a baby,” is a good answer; “I just feel like it,” can make you wonder if the car has needed continual repairs.
What condition is it in? The “Get What You Paid For” theory certainly applies to used cars. Ask how often the car has been the car has been maintained (oil checked, timing adjusted, tires rotated) just to get a general idea. Ask to see the receipts for this work.
l Has it been in an accident? An accident can alter anything from the car’s steering to the engine’s performance; front-end damage can be especially problematic.
l Has the car been emissions-tested? Different states have different regulations, so find out what’s need in your state. Ge careful -- this can require complex repairs if the car isn’t up to standards.
The following questions are based on Passage B. Choose one best answer for each question.
6. The main focus of these tips are:
a. ways to check out a used car b. ways to buy a new vehicle c. survival kits for the car dealer d. ways to fix the minor problems of your vehicle.
7. Which of the following is not true:
a. An accident can damage the performance; front-end damage can be especially problematic. B. The “Get What You Paid For” theory only applies to new cars. C. Different states have different regulations toward emissions-test d. Accurate mileage can be assessed through maintenance records
8. What is the best answer for the question: “why do you sell this car?”
Because I had a better car in mind B. Because I just feel like it c. Because we have a new family member d. Because I don’t like the color anymore.
9. In terms of the car mileage,
a. the highway mileage is better than the city mileage b. accurate mileage should be emphasized as the most important criteria. c. Accurate mileage can be assessed by checking the stickers on the driver’s license. d. Mileage is not important at all.
10. Why is the question “Has the car been emissions-tested?” important?
a. because if it is not tested this year, you will need to pay for the testing fee. b. because you need to know how to perform the emissions test c. because you want to make sure you don’t need to overhaul the car to meet the standard. d. because you need to know the regulation about emissions test.
