… and the next part of this talk is on the Panama Canal. It's amazing how this one small
section of a small country can be so important to the world. Let's learn a little bit about the
canal itself, before we look at how it connects to everything else.
The French started building the canal in 6..................................... but they couldn't finish it.
The project was started again in 7..................................... by the United States and the
canal was finally finished in 1914. Many people died while they were building the canal,
some say up to 8..................................... . For the rest of the 20th century, the United
States controlled the canal, but gave control back to Panama in 9.....................................
Every year, around 10..................................... ships come through the canal. These are
mostly 11..................................... They transport goods for trade between Asia and
America, or Europe. In 12..................................... the government of Panama made the
canal bigger, so that now 13..................................... of ships can pass through it.
Let's now turn to the role of the Panama Canal in the global economy …

ascertain whether or not the fish had been 16.......................................... and then their
bones thrown into the fire, or whether it had been cooked first. She said: "The whole
question about 17.......................................... is whether it is about getting rid of remains or
a 18.........................................." She said the fish were two-metre-long carp, that would
have been particularly succulent when cooked.

Questions 1-8
Water is virtually everywhere, from 1.......................................... and ice caps, to the cells
inside our own bodies. Depending on factors like location, fat index, age, and sex, the
average human is between 2.......................................... water. At birth, human babies are
even wetter. Being 3.......................................... water, they are swimmingly similar to
4.......................................... But their water composition drops to
5.......................................... by their first birthday. So what role does water play in our
bodies, and how much do we actually need to drink to stay healthy? The H20 in our bodies
works to cushion and lubricate joints, 6.......................................... and to nourish the brain
and spinal cord.
Water isn't only in our blood. An adult's brain and heart are almost
7.......................................... water - that's roughly equivalent to the amount of moisture in
a banana. 8.......................................... are more similar to an apple at
9.......................................... And even seemingly dry human bones are
10.......................................... water. If we are essentially made of water, and surrounded by
water, why do we still need to drink so much? Well, each day we lose two to three liters
through our 11.........................................., 12.........................................., and bowel
movements, and even just from breathing.
While these functions are essential to our survival, we need to compensate for the fluid
loss. Maintaining a balanced water level is essential to avoid dehydration or over-hydration,
both of which can have devastating effects on overall health.
At first detection of low water levels, sensory receptors in the brain's hypothalamus signal
the release of antidiuretic hormone. When it reached the 13.........................................., it
creates aquaporins, special channels that enable blood to 14.......................................... and
15.......................................... more water, leading to concentrated, dark urine. Increased
dehydration can cause notable drops in 16..........................................,
17.........................................., 18.........................................., and
19.........................................., as well as signs of 20.......................................... A
dehydrated brain works harder to accomplish the same amount as a normal brain, and it
even temporarily 21.......................................... because of its lack of water. Over-
hydration, or hyponatremia, is usually caused by overconsumption of water in a short
amount of time.
The recommended daily intake varies from between 31............................... liters of water
for men, and about 32............................... liters for women, a range that is pushed up or
down if we are healthy, active, old, or overheating. While water is the healthiest hydrator,
other beverages, even those with 33............................... like coffee or tea, replenish fluids
as well. And water within food makes up about 34............................... of our daily H20
intake. Fruits and vegetables like 35............................... , 36............................... , and even
37............................... are over 90% water, and can supplement liquid intake while
providing 38............................... and 39............................... .
Drinking well might also have various long-term benefits. Studies have shown that optimal
hydration can lower the chance of 40............................... , help manage
41..............................., and potentially reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. No matter
what, getting the right amount of liquid makes a world of difference in how you'll feel,
think, and function day to day.

Many of us know that eating late is bad. A new study says that eating late at night could
make us sick. Researchers say that eating a few hours before bed means there is
1................................................ The researchers are from Brigham and Women's Hospital,
which is a teaching university linked to Harvard Medical School in the USA. The research
team looked into why eating late 2................................................ . It found that eating late
increases 3................................................ by as much as 4................................................,
so we eat more. When we eat earlier, we are 5................................................, so we eat
less food. Later eaters also eat 6................................................, especially
7................................................ . Finally, late eaters 8................................................ less

The study was a small scale one. The researchers looked at the

not 17................................................or 18................................................ . They all had to

Researcher Professor Kelly C. Allison said: "I think what the study is telling us is that it
probably really is 20................................................to stop eating late into the night."
