Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the

dominant language of international communication English as we know it today emerged

around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066 Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in

England and had not extended even as far as two centuries, English began to spread around

the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary

work Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts

of the world As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary

language of international business, banking and diplomacy

Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is

English Two thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language

of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers Today there

are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are nonnative

Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the

changes to our climate which are taking place Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on

our planet before For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods

These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred

gradually and, as far as we know, naturally The changes currently being monitored are said to

be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity Furthermore, the rate of change is

becoming alarmingly rapid

The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last

10,000 years The implications for the planet are very serious Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding

and of droughts

These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture

It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse

gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern

industrial processes, for example Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere,

but also create a greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped This leads to the

warming up of the planet

Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world’s industrialized countries Of these summits, the most important took place in Kyotoin Japanin 1997 There it was agreed that the most industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions

and were given targets for this reduction of emissions

It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb

greenhouse gases At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic deforestation

number while you dial it but if you can put the phone number into long-term memory, you’ll

remember that same phone number next week This part of your memory (34)

everything from irregular verbs to the names of all your cousins

When you study, you transfer new information into long-term memory Every time we learn

Becoming an Art Dealer

difficult to make a living solely from selling your paintings or sculptures But don’t worry because

there are other jobs in the world of art that you can pursue One possible career option is to

become an art dealer

An art dealer works on behalf of artists to help them sell works to museums and galleries

around the world To be successful at this profession, it requires a well-rounded skill set For

companies in the art world and send them your resume The majority of art dealers begin their

Frozen Fitness

A man stands over a bathtub that is filled with ice Although it is the middle of winter, he slowly

slides into the tub and submerges his body underneath the water Within seconds, he begins to shiver, but after a few minutes he is able to settle down Despite the temperature, he will remain

in the tub for the next 30 minutes He is taking advantage of cold thermogenesis, a growing

trend that could improve people’s health

Thermogenesis is an internal process that mammals undergo to generate heat when they are

subjected to cold temperatures In modem society, humans rarely requires this ability because

we have heated homes and offices during the winter season Recent studies, however, indicate that by doing so we could be missing out on some wonderful health benefits Being subjected to cold temperatures regularly has been shown to boost men’s testosterone levels It also boosts

metabolism, which allows people to burn fat more efficiently Some people have reported that

cold thermogenesis also provides a mental lift once you have overcome the initial shock of the

cold water

The positive effects of thermogenesis were known before, but it only started to become popular after the 2008 Olympics One man who helped spark this craze was Ray Cronise, a NASA

scientist and entrepreneur He was reading an article that reported Michael Phelps ate 12,000

calories per day while training The calories were so high that led him to believe that something else besides exercise was helping Phelps to stay thin and muscular: the icy water in the

swimming pool So he conducted his own experiment by drinking several glasses of ice water

and exposing himself to cold water After six weeks of this regiment, he had lost 30 pounds

There are several routines that a person can adopt if they are interested in starting their own

thermogenesis routine One method is ice baths This method may be a bit too drastic for

average people though Instead, people may want to begin by dunking their face in cold water

for a few seconds, and then gradually increase the time Next, they can progress to cold

showers and baths before moving on ice baths An even more convenient way is to place an ice packet on the back of your neck for 15 to 20 minutes every evening Although these methods

may be extreme, many are willing to give them a go to improve their health

Question 46: All of the following are true about the benefits of thermogenesis EXCEPT that
