More than a third of the world's soll is endangered, according to a recent UN report. f we don't slow the decline, all farmable soil could be gone in 60 years. Since soil grows 95% of our food, and sustains human life in other more surprising ways, that is a huge problem. B. Peter Grofiman, from the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in New York, points out that soil scientists have been waming about the degradation of the world's soil for decades. At the same time, our understanding of its importance to humans has grown. A single gram of healthy soil might contain 100 million bacteria, as well as other microorganisms such as viruses and fungi, living amid decomposing plants and various minerals. That means soils do not just grow our food, but are the source of nearty all our existing antibiotics, and could be our best hope in the fight against antibiotic-resistance bacteria. Soil is also an ally against climate change: as microorganisms within soil digest dead animals and plants, they lock in their carbon content, holding three times the amount of carbon as does the entire atmosphere. Soil also stores water, preventing flood damage: in the UK, damage to buildings, roads and bridges from floods caused by soil degradation costs £233 milion every year. . Ifthe soil loses its ability to perform these functions, the human race could be in big trouble. The danger is not that the soll will disappear completely, but that the microorganisms that give it ts special properties will be lost. And once this has happened, it may take the soil thousands of years to recover. Agriculture is by far the biggest problem. In the wild, when plants grow, they remove nutrients from the soil, but then when the plants die and decay these nutrients are retumed directly to the soil. Humans tend not to return unused parts of harvested crops directty to the soil to enrich it, meaning that the soil gradually becomes less fertile. In the past we developed strategies to get around the problem, such as regularly verifying the types of crops. grown, or leaving fields uncultivated for a season. D. But these practices became inconvenient as populations grew and agriculture had fo be run on more commercial lines. A solution came in the early 20th century with the Haber-Bosch process for manufacturing ammonium nitrate, Farmers have been putting this synthetic fertilizer on thelr flelds ever since. But over the past few decades, it has become clear this wasn't such a bright idea. Chernicalfertlisers can release polluting nitrous oxide into the atmosphere and excess is often washed away with the rain, releasing nitrogen into rivers. More recenily, we have found that indiscriminate use of fertilisers hurts the soi itself, tuming it acidic and sally, and degrading the soil they are supposed to nourish. E. One of the people looking for a solution to this problem is Pius Floris, who started out running a tree-care business in the Netherlands, and now advises some of the world's top soil scientists. He came to realise that the best way to ensure his trees flourished was to take care of the soil, and has developed a cocktail of beneficial bacter fungi and humus to do this. Researchers at the University of Valladolid in Spain recently used this cocktail on soils, destroyed by years of fertiliser overuse. When they applied Floris's mix to the desertlke test plots, a good crop Page 4 of 14of plants emerged. They were not just healthy at the surface, but had roots strong enough to pierce dirt as hard as rock. The few plants that grew in the control plots, fed with traditional fertilisers, were small and weak. F. However, measures like this are not enough to solve the global soil degradation problem. To assess our options on a global scale we first need an accurate picture of what types of soils are out there, and the problems they face. That's not easy. For one thing, there is no agreed intemational system for cassifying soil. In an attempt to unify the different approaches, the UN has created the Global Soil Map project. Researchers from nine countries, are working together to create @ map linked to a database that can be fed measurements from field surveys, drone surveys, satellite imagery, lab analyses and so on to provide realtime data on the state of the soil. Within the next four years, they aim to have mapped soils worldwide to a depth of 100 metres, with the results freely accessible toall. G. But this is only a first step. We need ways of presenting the problem that bring it home to govemments and the wider public, says Pamela Chasek at the International Institute for Sustainable Development, in Winnipeg, Canada. ‘Most scientists don't speak language that policy- makers can understand, and vice versa.’ Chasek and her colleagues have proposed a goal of ‘zero net land degradation’. Like the idea of carbon neutrality, it is an easily understood target that can help shape expectations and encourage action. For soils on the brink, that may be too late. Several researchers are agitating for the immediate creation of protected zones for endangered soils. One difficulty here is defining what these areas should conserve: areas where the greatest soil diversity is present? Or areas of unspoilt soils that could act as a future benchmark of quality? Whatever we do, if we want our soils to survive, we need to take action now. ‘Question 56-59 ‘Complete the summary below. Write ONE WORD ONLY from the passage for each answer.

Write your answers in the corresponding numbered box provided. A HOMEOPATHIC REMEDY The history of homeopathy combines the high drama and intrigue commonly found in the best efforts of the silver ‘screen. The history of homeopathy actually begins with the discoveries of its founder Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician. He first coined the word ‘homeopathy’ to refer to the pharmacological principle, the law of simitars, that is its basis; it was Hahnemann who codified the principle into a systematic medical science. [es. [ ‘This account epitomises Hahnemann, and depicts him as both an avid experimenter and a respected chemist. He had written a four volume set of books called The Pharmaceutical Lexicon, which was considered one of the standard reference texts for chemists of his day. The account also reveals Hahnemann as an audacious rebel, who was unafraid to speak his mind, even if it meant correcting the analysis of a very respected physician. He had the initiative to seek his own alfemative explanations. [o. I ] Hahnemann was parlicularly disliked by the apothecaries or chemists of the time because he recommended the use ‘of only one medicine at a time and prescribing only limited doses of it, so the apothecaries could not charge much. Because each medicine required careful preparation, the apothecaries did not always make them correctly or worse stil intentionally gave their patients different potions. As Hahnemann's distrust of the apothecaries grew, he began to dispense his own medicines, an illegal act at the time in Germany. The apothecaries reacted by accusing Hahnemann ‘of encroaching upon their territory ,and sought retribution through the existing legal system. 71. Despite opposition, homeopathy continued to gather support, not only from the high-ranking, because it offered both a systematic approach to treating sick people, but also because orthodox medicine was ineffective and even dangerous. There is general agreement among medical historians today that orthodox medicine of the 1700s and 1800s in particular frequently caused more harm than good. 72. Homeopathy posed a serious threat to established medicine. Orthodox physicians criticised herbalists, midwives, and various other ‘non-regular’ practitioners because they were not medically trained. Homeopaths, however, could not be discredited as being unleamed, since many of the intial practitioners of homeopathy graduated from some of the most prestigious medical schools of the day. 73. Inherentin the homeopathic approach was a sharp crifiue of the use of conventional medications, which aroused the resentment of orthodox physicians and drug companies. Homeopaths were critical of these drugs because they masked the patient's symptoms, creating deeper, more serious diseases, and making it more difficult for homeopaths {ofind the correct medicine, since the persor’s idiosyncratic symptoms are the primary guide to the individual selection of the medicine. Not all feelings of antipathy were relaled to the practice of healing, however, some had a decided pecuniary basis. (74. [ ] Despite the continued antagonism from the orthodox medical profession, homeopathy survived and even thrived in the 1800s and early 1900s. By 1900 there were 22 homeopathic medical schools, more than 100 homeopathic hospitals, over 60 orphans asylums and old people's homes, and over 1,000 homeopathic pharmacies in the U.S. Page 6 of 14These impressive numbers alone do not provide an accurate perspective on the significant impact that homeopathy had on early American life. 75. Homeopathy's popularity among respeciad classes was also evident in Europe. Besides its patronage by Britain's Royal Family dating from the 1830s, homeopathy could count among its supporters Charles Dickens, W.B. Yeats, William Thackarey, Benjamin Disraeli, Jonann Wolfgang Goethe, and Pope Pius X. Missing paragraphs: ‘A. Pethaps the most important reason that conventional physicians disliked homeopathy was well expressed at ‘a meeling by one of the more respected orthodox physicians who admitted that homeopathy was never fought ‘on matters of principles, but rather because it came into the community and got the business. Although most physicians are reluctant to admit it, economic issues play a major role in what is allowed to be practised Hahnemann's principles therefore posed a philosophical, clinical, and economic threat to orthodox medicine. B. Hahnemann's first comments about the general applicability of the law of similars were in 1789 when he translated a book by William Cullen, a leading physician. Cullen ascribed the usefulness of Peruvian bark in treating malaria to its bitter and astringent properties. Hahnemann disputed Cullen's explanation. He took repeated doses of this herb until his body responded to its toxic dose with symptoms similar to malaria Hahnemann concluded that the reason this herb was beneficial was because it caused symptoms similar to those of the disease it was treating. . After translating Cullen's work, Hahnemann spent the next six years actively experimenting on himself, and others. Coincidentally, in 1798 Edward Jenner discovered the value of giving small doses of cowpox to people in an effort to immunise them against smallpox. Whereas Jenner's work was generally accepted, Hahnemann’s work was not. In fact, there was so much antagonism to Hahnemann that entire medical journals were created to denigrate homeopathy. D. Homeopathy attracted support from many of the most respected members of society. its advocates included Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Nathanial Hawthome and Louisa May Alcott. Wiliam Cullen Bryant, the famous journalist, was president of the New York Homeopathic Society. John D. Rockefeller referred to homeopathy ‘as’a progressive and aggressive step in medicine’ E. An additional threat was issued against conventional medicine because homeopathy was underpinned by an integrated, coherent, and methodical basis which mainstream medicine seemed to lack. it seemed to many people to be more rather than less scientific than orthodox medicine. F. Bloodletting and application of leeches were common practice through to the mid-1800s. One French doctor bloodlet so much that some jokingly estimated that he spilled more blood in his medical practice than was spilled throughout the entire Napoleonic Wars. As many as 41 milion leeches were imported into France in 1833 alone. Orthodox physicians also used drugs made from mercury, lead and arsenic to rid the body of disease. G. Homeopathy began growing in the New World shortly after Hans Gram, a Dutch homeopath, emigrated to the United States in 1825. It expanded so rapidly that the homeopaths decided to create a national medical society. In 1844 they organised the American Institute of Homeopathy, which became America's first national medical sociely. In 1846, a rival medical group formed in response to this and called itself the American Medical Association. H. Hahnemann was arrested in Leipzig in 1820, where he was found guilty and forced to move. He relocated to Kothen, where he was granted special permission to practice and dispense his own medicines by Grand Duke Ferdinand, one of the many European royalty who supported homeopathy.

Historians of women’s labor in the United States at first largely disregarded the story of female service workers —women earning wages in occupations such as salesclerk, domestic servant, and office secretary. These historians focused instead on factory work, primarily because it seemed so different from traditional, unpaid “women's work” in the home, and because the underlying economic forces of industrialism were presumed to be aender-blind and hence ‘emancipatory in effect. Unfortunately, emancipation has been less profound than expected, for not even industrial ‘wage labor has escaped continued sex segregation in the workplace. To explain this unfinished revolution in the status of women, historians have recently begun to emphasize the way a prevailing definition of femininity often determines the kinds of work allocated to women, even when such allocation is inappropriate to new conditions. For instance, early texfle-mill entrepreneurs in justifying women's Page 7 of 14
