Question1

Your teenage daughter gets top marks in school, captains the debate team, and volunteers at a shelter for homeless people. But while driving the family car, she text-messages her best friend and rear-ends another vehicle.

How can teens be so clever, accomplished, and responsible — and reckless ? Easily, according to two physicians at Children’s Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School (HMS) who have been the structure and chemistry of the brain. “The teenage brain is not just an adult brain with fewer miles on it,” says Frances E. Jensen, a professor of neurology. “It’s a paradoxical timeof . These are people with very brains, but they’re not quite sure what to do with them.”

In animals, movement is coordinated by a cluster of neurons in the spinal cord called the Central Pattern Generator (CPG). This produces signals that drive muscles to rhythmically in a way that produces running or walking, depending on the of pulses. A simple signal from the brain instructs the CPG to switch between different , such as going from a standstill to walking.

Easily, according to two physicians at Children’s Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School (HMS) who have been exploring the unique structure and chemistry of the adolescent brain. “The teenage brain is not just an adult brain with fewer miles on it,” says Frances E. Jensen, a professor of neurology. “It’s a paradoxical time of development. These are people with very sharp brains, but they’re not quite sure what to do with them.”

Question2

Now that doesn’t mean that plainness is the only good style, or that you should become a to spare, unadorned writing. Formality and ornateness have their place, and in hands complexity can carry us on a dizzying, breathtaking journey. But most students, most of the time, should to be sensibly simple, to develop a style of short words, active verbs, and relatively simple sentences clear actions or identities. It’s faster. It makes arguments easier to follow. It increases the chances a busy reader will bother to pay attention, and it lets you more attention on your moments of rhetorical flourish, which I do not advise altogether.

Question3

The society that as few as six departments (those at Durham, Cambridge, Imperial, UCL, Bristol and Oxford) could remain by 2014. Most recently, Exeter University closed down its chemistry department, it on “market forces”, and Bristol took in some of the refugees.

The closures have been blamed on a in student applications, but money is a : chemistry degrees are expensive to provide – compared with English, for example – and some scientists that the way the government concentrates research on a small number of top departments, such as Bristol, exacerbates the .

Answer

University science is now in real crisis – particularly the non-telegenic, non-ology bits of it such as chemistry. Since 1996, 28 universities have stopped offering chemistry degrees, according to the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Question4

Sportswomen’ records are important and need to be preserved. And if the paper records don’t , we need to get out and start interviewing people, not to put too fine a on it, while we still have a . After all, if the records aren’t kept in some form or another, then the stories are too.

appear focus admit exist opportunity
point chance lost disappear

Answer

Sportswomen’ records are important and need to be preserved. And if the paper records don’t exist, we need to get out and start interviewing people, not to put too fine a point on it, while we still have a chance. After all, if the records aren’t kept in some form or another, then the stories are lost too.

Answer

Surely, reality is what we think it is; reality is revealed to us by our experiences. To one extent or another, this view of reality is one many of us hold, if only implicitly. I certainly find myself thinking this way in day-to-day life; it’s easy to be seduced by the face nature reveals directly to our senses. Yet, in the decades since first encountering Camus’ test, I’ve learned that modern science tells a very different story.

Answer

By 2025, government experts’ say, America’s skies will swarm with three times as many planes, and not just the kind of traffic flying today. There will be thousands of tiny jets, seating six or fewer, at airliner altitudes, competing for space with remotely operated drones that need help avoiding mid-air collisions, and with commercially operated rockets carrying satellites and tourists into space.

Question7

The inevitable consequences rampant corruption, an absence of globally competitive Chinese companies, waste of resources, rampant environmental and soaring inequality. Above all, the monopoly over power of an ideologically bankrupt communist party is with the pluralism of opinion, security of property and vibrant competition on which a dynamic economy depends. As a result, Chinese development remains parasitic on know-how and institutions developed elsewhere.

slowly improvement inconsistent

Answer

The inevitable consequences include rampant corruption, an absence of globally competitive Chinese companies, chronic waste of resources, rampant environmental degradation and soaring inequality. Above all, the monopoly over power of an ideologically bankrupt communist party is inconsistent with the pluralism of opinion, security of property and vibrant competition on which a dynamic economy depends. As a result, Chinese development remains parasitic on know-how and institutions developed elsewhere.

Answer

Entrepreneurs seek the best opportunities for production and coordinate all the other resources in order to carry them out. An entrepreneur visualizes needs and takes the necessary actions to initiate the process by which they will be met. This often means classifying and taking risks.

Deposits initially consisted of grain and later other goods including cattle, agricultural implements, and eventually precious metals such as gold, in the form of easy-to carry compressed plates. Temples and palaces were the safest places to store gold as they were constantly attended and well built. As sacred places, temples presented an extra deterrent to would-be thieves.
