The mysteries of the skies

the edge of the hitherto mysterious sphere. He saw that the apparently (22) _____________ surface was not divinely smooth and round, but bumpy and imperfect. He realized that although the moon might appear (23) _____________, resembling a still life painted by the hand of a cosmic (24) ____________, it was a real world, perhaps not very different from our own. This amounted to a great (25) _____________ hardly to be expected in his day and age, although nowadays his (26) _____________ may appear to some to be trivial and (27) _____________.
Not long after Galileo lunar’s observations, the skies which had previously been so (28) _____________ revealed more of their extraordinary mysteries. Casting around for further wonders, Galileo focused his lens on the (29) _____________ planet of Jupiter. Nestling next to it, he saw four little points of light circling the distant planet.

KEEPING YOUR DISTANCE
Personal space is a term that refers to the distance we like
to keep between ourselves and other people. When someone we
do not know well gets too close that we usually begin to feel
uncomfortable. If such a business colleague comes closer than
1.2 meters, the most common response is to move away. Some
interesting studies have been done in libraries. If strangers will
come too close, many people get up and leave the building,
others use to different methods such as turning their back on the
intruder. Living in cities has made people to develop new skills
for dealing with situations where they are very close to strangers.
Most people on so crowded trains try not to look at strangers;
they avoid skin contract, and apologize if hands touch by a
mistake. People use newspapers as a barrier between themselves
and other people, and if they do not have one, they stare into the
distance, making sure they are not looking into anyone’s eyes.

PART D: READING (6points)
I. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer by writing the letter A, B, C or D on
your answer sheet. (2pts)
DIET AND EXERCISE
Many people seem to believe that there is a magic diet formula that will guarantee weight loss.
[1] This is a fallacy. Most fad diet, if followed conscientiously, will result in weight loss due to the
reduction in calories. [2] However, they are nearly always too monotonous and sometimes too
unhealthy to be followed in the long term. [3] Worse, fad dieters who don't become physically active
and learn to eat sensibly will eventually regain the weight they lost, and often even more. [4]
Some of the most popular fad diet in recent years have been low-carbohydrate programs, which
work by making the body produce ketons. Ketons are normal and efficient source of energy for the
human body. When the intake of carbohydrate is severely restricted, body fats are broken down into
fatty acids that can be used as fuel. The fatty acids may be incompletely metabolised, yielding ketons.
When your body is producing ketons, and using them as fuel, this is called ketosis. Most diets based on
ketosis do not limit the consumption of protein, fat, or total calories. As a result, their fat content tends
to be very high. Promoters claim that ketosis will lead to increased metabolism of unwanted fat, even if
the calories are not reduced. This is not entirely true; calorie reduction is likely to occur because of the
diet's lack of appealing foods. This is not conductive to forming sensible eating habits.
The major widely used low-carbohydrate diet is the one advocated by the late Robert Atkins
M.D, of New York City. Under the Atkins program, the dieter is permitted to eat unlimited amounts of
non-carbohydrate foods "when hungry". The American Medical Association and many individual
experts have warned that the unlimited intake of saturated fat under Atkins food plan can increase the
dieter's risk of heart disease. In 2000, researchers at the University of Kentucky did a computer
analysis of a week's worth of sample menus and reported several alarming findings: the diet contained
59% fat; it provided fewer servings of grains, vegetables, and fruits than recommended by most
nutritionists, and while it can produce short-term weight loss, long-term use is likely to increase the
risk of both cardiovascular disease and cancer. The weight loss usually doesn't last, either. As ketosis
begins, weight will be shed quickly, giving the misleading impression that significant fat
reduction is taking place. In fact, most of the weight loss is water rather than fat; the lost water is
regained quickly when a normal diet is resumed. Appetite, which is often reduced during ketosis, also
returns.
Atkins advocated his diet for more than 30 years and claimed that more than 60,000 patients
treated at his centre had used his diet as their primary protocol for losing weight. Yet he never
published any study in which people who used this program were monitored over a period of several
years. Besides the dubiousness of its effects in the long term, the Atkins diet shares another
shortcoming of all fad diets: inflexibility. People are different, with different health problems and
genetic characteristics, and no single diet is right for everyone.
An additional downside to the recent craze for low-carbohydrate diets is that it has encouraged
food companies to market low-carbohydrate foods for people who want to "watch their carbs". Most of
these foods are much higher in fat than the foods they are designed to replace. "Low carb" advertising
is encouraging both dieters and non-dieters to eat high-fat foods, which is exactly the opposite of
medical and nutrition authorities have been arguing for decades. Following a low-carbohydrate diet
under medical supervision may make sense for some people, but a population-wide increase in fat
consumption would be a public health disaster.
