V. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Science is a very important indicator of the future. Every scientific advance or discovery gives us a clue about
what the future will hold for society. Perhaps the most amazing scientific discovery in recent times was the birth
of Dolly the sheep. Dolly was the first successful cloned animal - that is, she was the first animal ever to be
created from a single adult cell. She is an exact copy of her biological mother. Since Dolly's birth, there has
been debate about what this means for society in the future - because if we can clone sheep, we can surely clone
humans. Some think that there are already signs that such things will eventually happen. For example, couples
in the United States who can't or don't want to have children by natural methods can now select the human egg
and sperm they want through catalogues, audiotapes or even computer order systems. One journalist has
commented, "Ordering a frozen embryo is a little more emotionally complicated than ordering a home-delivered
pizza - but not so different logistically". (Hewitt 1998).

A. unexpected B. amazing C. complicated D. predictable

generations in. Below are some of their predictions:
1. Most children will know their great-grandparents and even great-great grandparents) because people
are living longer.

Apples are the second most-consumed fruit in the U.S. Bananas rank as number one. The popularity of
apples extends across the age from children to adults.
A recent study in the U.S. has shown that apples provide some much-needed benefits. In this study, apple-
consuming children and teenagers, aging for 2 to 18, were compared with children and teenagers who did not
consume this fruit. In this study, the presence of obesity was found to be 30% less likely in apple consumers
versus non-consumers. Since one out of five children in the U.S. meets the diagnostic criteria for obesity, this
study finding is a welcomed one.
