Well, the eight or more hours of work are all about back-to-back meetings. A doctor’s bread and
butter is seeing patients, and each appointment is essentially a meeting with a client. You check
the details of the case, try and get a sense of what’s going on, and then figure out the medicines–
often trying to do this within a half hour.

The thinking process is a lot like troubleshooting a broken device, only it’s from a foreign
manufacturer. You possess thousands of different but crude tools, and you can only try to fix the
device so many times. When someone comes in with a complaint, you think of a bunch of things
it could be (your differential diagnosis) and then ask questions to try and narrow it down and
separate it from similar problems. Then you choose your tests and hope that you can pin down
the source of the problem to something in particular (your diagnosis). Then you figure out if the
problem is fixable.

The finer details of the job depend on the work setting. If you work in a hospital on a medical
team, it’s like being an officer in the military, or a middle manager in a large company. Middle
managers don’t do the grunt work–you’re paid to figure out what work needs to be done, make
sure that the work is done, and bear the responsibility of right and wrong decisions. It is
accomplished by a lot of paperwork–meeting patients to find out their issues, documenting your
findings and your thinking process, writing orders, communicating those orders to other
healthcare professionals to act on them.

If you work in a clinic, it’s more like being a small business owner. The work is the same, but
you have a bit more autonomy and control over the setup, though you aren’t able to get your
results or make changes quite as quickly. We spoke to some doctors to understand what their
routine is to better understand the point in question. (www.toppr.com)

A new study suggests housework is not the quality form of exercise many people consider it to
be. The report even went as far as saying that those who did the most housework were usually
those most overweight. The study is called, "Does doing housework keep you healthy? The
contribution of domestic physical activity to meeting current recommendations for health". It
questions whether physical activities such as do-it-yourself, gardening and housework are such
good exercise. It acknowledges that any activity is better than none, but says, "there is a danger
that those undertaking domestic 'chores' may assume that this activity is moderate intensity" and
wrongly count it as proper exercise.
A total of 4,563 adults participated in the survey, which was based on participants' weekly
physical activity. The analysis from this research showed that people who included housework as
part of their weekly exercise tended to be heavier. Research leader professor Marie Murphy said:
"Housework is physical activity and any physical activity should theoretically increase the
amount of calories [burnt]. But we found that housework was inversely related to leanness,
which suggests that either people are overestimating the amount of moderate intensity physical
activity they do through housework, or are eating too much to compensate for the amount of
activity undertaken." (www.breakingnewsbreakingnewsenglish.com)

The following text is for question number 12 to question number 14.

The blooming of the cherry trees in Washington, D.C. is an annual tradition which has come to
symbolize the natural beauty of America's capital city. The famous trees herald Washington's rite
of spring with a vivid explosion of life and colour that blankets the city's open spaces in a sea of
fragrant white and pale pink blossoms.

The first cherry trees were presented as a gift of friendship from the Japanese people to the
people of the United States in the early twentieth century. 3,020 cherry trees of different varieties
were planted in March 1912, with just over half of the trees being Yoshino Cherry trees.

In Japan, the cherry tree, or "Sakura," is a plant which is valued highly. It is a powerful symbol
which represents the transformation of Japanese culture throughout the ages.

Cherry blossom blooming peaks anywhere from mid-March to mid-April, depending on weather
conditions. The peak bloom date is defined as the day when seventy percent of the Yoshino
Cherry blossoms are open.

Hundreds of thousands of people from around the world visit Washington D.C. every spring, to
enjoy seeing the Japanese flowering cherry trees in full bloom.

The following text is for quetion no.16:

Wild animals usually come into cities to look for food. In Cape Town, South Africa, baboons
sometimes come into the suburbs. They eat fruit from gardens and go into people's kitchens and
take food from cupboards and fridges! Baboons are strong animals and sometimes they scare
children and fight with pet dogs. Many people do not like them, but the city can be dangerous for
baboons too. Sometimes, baboons are hurt in car accidents and the sugar in human food can be
very bad for their teeth. The city council in Cape Town has a team of Baboon Monitors. Their
job is to find baboons in the city and take them back to the countryside. This makes the city safer
for people and it is healthier for the baboons. The problem is that a lot of baboons will come
back to the city to find food again.In Berlin in Germany, groups of wild pigs sometimes come
into the city to look for food. Pigs have come into the city for hundreds of years, but now the
winters are warmer, there are more pigs than in the past. Pigs eat flowers and plants and dig in
gardens and parks in the city. They also walk in the street and cause traffic accidents. Some city
residents like the pigs and give them food. But the city council is worried about the traffic
accidents. They have told people to stop giving the pigs food and have put up fences to stop the
pigs entering the city. In Moscow in Russia, there are 35,000 wild dogs. They live in parks,
empty houses, markets and train stations. Some of the dogs were pets that people did not want so
they left them on the streets. Others were born on the streets and have always lived there. Some
dogs live alone and others live in packs (a pack is the name for a group of dogs). In 2010,
scientists studied the dogs. They found some very interesting facts:

• Packs have leaders. The leaders are the most intelligent dogs and not the biggest or strongest
ones.
• Dogs know that it is safer to cross the street with people and some dogs understand traffic
lights.
• Dogs have learnt that people give more food to small, cute dogs than to big ones. The cutest
dogs in a pack wait on the street for people to give them food. When they have got some food,
they share it with the other dogs in the pack.
• Some dogs have started travelling on the Moscow underground trains.What do the people in
Moscow think of the dogs? A lot of people like them and are used to seeing them on the streets.
They give the dogs food and water to drink. The winter in Moscow is very cold with lots of snow
and temperatures of -10ºC. It can be hard for dogs to survive but some city residents have built
small huts. (www.britishcouncil.org/learnenglishteens)

The following text is for questions 17 to 20.

Email
The technology and services it provides for sending and receiving electronic messages (called
"letters" or "electronic letters") over a distributed (including global) computer network. In terms
of the composition of elements and the principle of operation, electronic mail practically repeats
the system of regular (paper) mail, borrowing both terms (mail, letter, envelope, attachment, box,
delivery, and others) and characteristic features — ease of use, message transmission delays,
sufficient reliability and at the same time no guarantee of delivery. The advantages of e-mail are:
easily perceived and remembered by a person addresses of the form user_name@domain_name
(for example, somebody@example.com); the ability to transfer both plain text and formatted, as
well as arbitrary files; independence of servers (in the general case, they address each other
directly); sufficiently high reliability of message delivery; ease of use by humans and programs.
Disadvantages of e-mail: the presence of such a phenomenon as spam (massive advertising and
viral mailings); the theoretical impossibility of guaranteed delivery of a particular letter; possible
delays in message delivery (up to several days); limits on the size of one message and on the
total size of messages in the mailbox (personal for users).
