MODERN SCIENCE
It seems entirely natural to US that there are teams of scientists in universities and (26) _institutions around the world, attempting to discover the way the world works (27) _, it hasn’t always been that way.
Although the scientific method is now four or five hundred years old, the ancient Greeks, for example, believed that they could work out the cause of natural events just by the power of thought
During the 17th century, more and more people began to realize that they could test their scientific ideas by
designing a relevant experiment and seeing (28) happened A lot of progress was made in this way by individual scientists These men and women often worked alone, (29) out research into many different areas of science, and they often received very little (30) _for their hard work At the start of the 20th century, though, it became clear
that science was becoming more complicated and more expensive The individual scientists disappeared, to be replaced by highly qualified teams of experts Modern science was born

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 31 to 35.
Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning You should drink this water first thing, before doing anything else The temperature of the water should be similar to body temperature; neither too
hot nor too cold If you drink a glass of water which is too cold, it can cause an imbalance to the body and slow
down the digestive process Besides, drinking too hot water can bring about some serious side effects such as
extensive damage to the tissue and other organs
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways It helps clean out your kidneys It prepares your stomach for digestion Water can also help your intestines work better After drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food Water also helps us go to the bathroom more easily
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day But don’t drink all of that water in
one sitting If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it It’s better to drink some in the
morning and some in the afternoon Some people think it’s better to drink between meals and not during meals They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs This can interfere with normal digestion Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine If it is light yellow, you are probably drinking enough If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water A little more water each day could make you much healthier

to each of the questions from 36 to 42
Grandparents are becoming the forgotten generation, with youngsters now too busy to listen to their stories from the olden days
A study of 1,000 five to 18 year-olds reveals just 21 percent will visit their older relatives to hear about how their lives were different in the past; such as where they worked, how it was living in the war, and how they met the love of their life More than half of youths have no idea what job their grandparent did before retirement – admitting they’d never thought to ask Sadly, one in 10 admitted they are simply not interested in their grandmother’s or grandad’s previous job or talents and interests, and a quarter only turn up to see them for pocket money But 23 percent claim the reason they don’t know anything about their older relatives is because they don’t really get the chance to talk properly
Geoff Bates, spokesman for McCarthy & Stone’s Inspirational Generation campaign, said: “We know this generation have lived full lives with heroic tales to tell and so much to offer, but how many of us have actually
thought to ask these questions of our older family members? We want to shout about the amazing feats retirees have
achieved in their lifetime and put the spotlight on the wonderfully colorful lives of today’s older people We are
calling on parents and children to talk to their grandparents, to find out what they have done in their lives – and
continue to do, and tell us all about it so we can give them the credit they deserve.”
Researchers found that although 65 percent of youngsters do see their grandparents every single week, 37 per cent claim this is only because their parents want them to And while 39 percent talk to their grandparents on the phone, Facebook or Skype at least once a week – 16 percent once a day – conversation is rarely focused on what they are doing or have done in the past Four in 10 kids have no idea what their grandparents proudest achievements are, while 30 per cent don’t know if they have any special skills or talents And 42 per cent don’t spend any time talking about their grandparent’s history – and are therefore clueless about what their grandmother or grandpa was like when they were younger Perhaps due to this lack of communication and respect, just six per cent of children say they look
up to their grandparents as a role model and inspiration However, grandchildren are agreed their grandparents are
both loving and friendly, while 43 per cent think they’re funny – with 23 per cent admitting they often have more fun with their elderly relatives than their parents
