Diseases are a natural part of life on earth If there were no diseases, the population would grow too quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources, so in a way, diseases are natural ways of keeping the Earth in balance But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six months Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics

Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight In 1918,

a new type of flu virus appeared Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very

quickly and killed large numbers of people While there have been many different pandemic diseases

throughout history, all of them have a new thing in common First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily

Second, while they may kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly A good example of this would be the Marburg virus The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease In

addition, it is deadly About 70 -80% of all people who get the Marburg virus died from the disease However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread to a large number of people The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread

While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common Doctors carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics For example, in 2002, and 2003,

doctors carefully watched SARS Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a pandemic

Question 31 This passage is mainly about _

A how to prevent pandemic diseases B pandemic diseases

C pandemic diseases throughout history D why pandemics happen

Question 32 According to the passage, what causes pandemics?

A Changes in a disease that the body cannot fight

B Careless doctors who do not watch the spread of disease

C Population growth that the world cannot support

D The failure to make new medicines

Question 33 The word ‘monitor’ in the passage is closest in meaning to _

A fight B prevent C watch D avoid

Question 34 The word “it” in the passage refers to _

A disease B flu virus C pandemics D bodies

Question 35 According to the passage, all of the following are true of the 1918 flu pandemic EXCEPT

that _

A it involved a new kind of flu virus B it killed over 25 million people

C it was the last pandemic in history D it took a little over a week to kill its victims

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 from 36 to 42.

Marriage is one of the oldest human institutions and this is as true in Indian culture as anywhere else

In India, marriage, called “Kayadanda” or “donating a virgin”, is thought of as the greatest sacrifice that a

father can make and for the groom as an obligation to perpetuate his bloodline Many people believe that marriage is stillbinding after death.

In early times, girls were thought to be ready for marriage after puberty, and later even children could be married Divorce and remarriage were not always possible By Medieval times, marriage was compulsory for girls, who very often married between the ages of eight and nine Among those able to afford it, polygamy was common and rules would often have one wife from their own region and other minor wives from other areas Now, divorce and remarriage are possible and non-Muslim men can only have one wife

Although there are many regional variations, some features of the Indian wedding ceremony are

similar throughout the country In general, weddings are verycomplicated events and involve long

negotiations about dowry payments prior to the event After this has been decided a day is chosen by asking

an astrologer to find a lucky day Preparations begin early because a marriage is not only one of the

highlights of a person's life but a large and complex social gathering to organize

The night before, the bride, her friends, and female relatives gather together for a party called a

"mehndi”, where they paint each other's hands and feet with Henna and dance and listen to music Her guests often give the bride advice about married life and tease her about her future husband Weddings are traditionally held at the bride's home or in a temple, but parks, hotels, and marriage halls are becoming increasingly popular On the day, a wedding altar or "mandala" is built and covered in flowers All of the wedding ceremonies will be held at the altar

The clothing a couple wears on their wedding day varies between regions and ethnic groups.

Women most commonly wear a sari The bride wears a lot of jewelry as this symbolizes the prosperity she will bring to her new family In the South wearing flowers is common The groom wears a traditional costume or a suit Turbans are also popular headgear

The ceremony begins with a mixture of turmeric, sandalwood paste, and oils being applied to the

couple's face and arms In the past, this was done to the whole body, but now it is only symbolic, with only a little being rubbed on Then they are showered in flowers After this, they perform the rituals that will make them man and wife First, they garland each other and then take seven symbolic steps together representing seven gifts and seven promises Finally, they say the vows and then they are legally married The bride's father or guardian takes her hands and puts them in her husband's giving them to him Now she is no longer

a member of her father's family, but a member of her husband's They then touch the feet of their elders for luck

After the wedding ceremony, the couple goes to the groom's house The bride should be careful to enter the house right foot first for luck In the evening and late into the night the families and their guests celebrate with dancing, music, and food
