Some doctors claim that it can be possible for
humans to live as long as 160 years thanks to
gene therapy. The process will involve preparing
the gene map of each individual. Then, the
genes that are likely to cause diseases will be
discovered. The necessary treatment will be
initiated before the detected genes cause any
disease. All precautions will be taken to prevent
any likely disease, which means diseases will
disappear completely. However, the majority of
geneticists aren’t sure that this will ever be
possible. They point out that preparing the gene
map of each individual is so difficult and costly.
Besides this, a very little percentage of the
genes that cause diseases have been identified.
For these reasons, lengthening the life span
remains as impossible for the time being.
Early this morning, a middle aged, thin and short man
entered the National Bank. He was carrying a strange
white parcel which looked like a birthday present. He
waited in the queue for about ten minutes and then
approached the counter. He told the clerks that he
was in a hurry and he needed to withdraw as much
money as possible. The clerks were surprised, they
looked at the man’s face. That moment, he took his
gun out and told them to give him all the money in
the safe. The security guards drew their guns and
pointed them at the robber. He boldly shouted that
there was a bomb in his white parcel. Everyone was
afraid. The customers, clerks and even the security
officers ran out. The robber was trapped inside. He
couldn’t open the safe, neither could he go out. There
were just old newspapers in his box, he had nothing
to do. Then, the police arrived and arrested him.

More plane crashes than ever have occurred
near airports in the last decade. Almost all of
these accidents took place due to the same
reason: Immigrating birds. Birds get into the
engines of the planes and cause malfunction. If
they get into both engines, a crash is inevitable.
But a big question remains to be answered: Why
have birds caused so many crashes recently?
Experts say that this is due to the fact that they
spend more time flying near the airports. The
main reason for that has been reported as a
change in the routes of immigration. This
change is worrying everyone in the aviation
industry and research has been initiated in order
to find a way of keeping birds away from
airports.
Have you ever noticed how children are always
making mistakes? They do it all the time, and it
doesn’t seem to bother them. You don’t learn to walk
without falling over. You don’t learn to speak without
mispronouncing lots of words. You don’t learn to
juggle without dropping balls. But if you create an
environment where mistakes are not accepted, then
people become frightened of them. They fail to see
them as part of the learning process. In these kinds
of environments people learn to hide their mistakes,
and not to celebrate them as a good thing. If you are
not making mistakes then you are not learning
anything valuable.

immigrations _____. A) is described as a process which doesn’t

made
C) have recently turned urban life into a
disaster D) starts with simple things in childhood, then
moves on to more complicated subjects
D) tend to start earlier than they used to do
every year E) involves making mistakes
E) were previously prevented or restricted
around airports

41. As it is clear from the passage the 44. As can be concluded from the text, people who
immigration routes of birds _____. hide their mistakes _____.
A) change their location every year A) can never learn anything at all
B) force pilots to take different courses to B) are those who always want to be successful

C) learn less efficiently than those who are not
C) are closer to airports because bird afraid of them
population has increased
D) are usually children
