The news that a ‘Yeti finger’ found in Nepal is from aperson, not a new species of giant Himalayan ape, willnot surprise many. The notion that it came from a Yetiwas laid to rest by a DNA test at Edinburgh Zoo. Yetagain, evidence thought to demonstrate the existence ofthe famous mystery animal has failed the test. Everyyear, naturalists go to remote areas in search ofmythical animals. Do they ever meet success? Theanswer is yes. The most famous example is the Okapi,a relative of the giraffe. So, could new species of largeanimals still await discovery? New species are found allthe time. A long-horned relative of the cattle, the Saola,was discovered in Asia, in 1992, while more than 10new primate species have been named since 2005. Butsome mystery animals appear unlikely. They arereported from well-studied areas like North America andhave been the subject of unsuccessful discoveryattempts. The time has come to stop combing NorthAmerica for Bigfoot, or looking for Yetis in theHimalayas. There is no reason to take their existenceseriously.

According to the passage, the ‘Yeti finger’ ----.

has very unusual DNA and needs further investigation

came from a human and not a Yeti as some previouslybelieved

could belong to a species of Himalayan ape not yetdiscovered

is a part of the body of a larger animal discovered inNepal

has convinced investigators to continue to search forYetis

could be successful, and serious investigations ofreported sightings should continue

have fortunately led to the discovery of the Okapi andthe Saola

should be done by scientists who have specialized inprimate and large ape behaviour

Plagiarism is taking someone else’s writing or ideas andpassing them off as one’s own. The word, derived fromthe Latin plagiarius, or kidnapper, was first used in theearly 17th century, but undoubtedly, instances ofplagiarism long predate that. Accusations, proven ornot, of plagiarism have frequently featured in academicwriting, journalism and music. In the 1970s, for example,the former Beatle George Harrison was sued for copyingthe melody of the Chiffons’ He’s So Fine for his ownsong My Sweet Lord. Plagiarism in music may often beunintentional. This is less likely in scientific writing,literature and journalism, that is, it may be deliberate. In2009, the British poet Andrew Motion was accused of‘shameless burglary’ by a military historian, BenShephard, after using passages from a book byShephard. However, in the age of cyber technology,plagiarism has become both easier to commit andeasier to detect, as many students and teachers haverealized.

According to the passage, plagiarism manifestsitself ----.

scarcely in the press

mainly in literary products

in many areas of human work

primarily in historical documents

more easily in students' works

Eager to boost orders for his teas, New York teamerchant Thomas Sullivan devised a new method ofdistributing samples of tea to his customers. He putthem into small silk bags, making them easy to ship andless messy for the recipient to unpack. Some customersdid not bother opening the cloth bag and simply pouredboiling water over them. Sullivan was overwhelmed withorders for more tea packaged in this way. Respondingto suggestions that the silk material was very thin,Sullivan used cotton instead and began to sell the bagscommercially. The patent for the tea bag was registeredby Sullivan in 1903. By 1920, tea bags were in wide useby the catering trade in the US. Later, paper was usedinstead of cotton, and a fine string and decorated tagwere sometimes added, making them more convenientfor drinkers making a single cup. The American marketfor tea bags was well developed by the time they wereintroduced into Britain several decades later by JosephTetley and Company in 1953. It is not clear whether thisdelay was a result of wartime shortages of materials, orof initial resistance to change on the part of the Britishtea-drinker. However, once they were launched, teabags soon became popular in Britain, joining the ranksof the many labour-saving products that emerged in thepost-war period, offering convenience and saving time.

It can be understood from the passage that ThomasSullivan ----.

stole the idea of drinking tea in small cotton bags fromhis customers

created a new way of making tea taste better

used silk bags to carry tea so that it would last longer

was late to apply for the patent of cotton tea bags

paved the way for preparing an instant cup of tea

the British tea-drinker thought that their productionwas time-consuming

Joseph Tetley and Company delayed their introductiondue to financial hardship

they were considered luxurious, both in the wartimeand post-war period

The primary purpose of the author is to ----.

give examples of the materials of which tea bags havebeen made

explain the phases the tea bag went through from1903 to present day

illustrate the differences between the British andAmerican tea-drinker

emphasize the widespread use of tea bags in the US

Okan: What do you think about the physicist Stephen

Buket: Well, he's considered one of the greatest

scientists of the 20th century.

Okan: ----

Buket: You're right. He just proves that being a person

with disabilities doesn't necessarily mean that youcan't be successful.

A Brief History of Time includes Hawking's theoriesabout time and space, which he started to form in hisHarvard years.

Hawking Radiation about black holes is the mostwell-known contribution he has made to theoreticalphysics.

In my opinion, what makes him outstanding is that he'smade huge contributions to science despite beingseverely handicapped.

His disability is caused by an illness known asamyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and his doctors didn'texpect him to live very long.

More and more people with disabilities should beencouraged to participate in scientific studies and alsoto take part in the working life.

When the Titanic sank in 1912, three times as manywomen were saved than men. ---- When Swedishscientists analyzed a database of 18 maritimedisasters between 1852 and 2011, they found thatthe survival rate of women was half that of men, andthat children were least likely to survive in theseincidents. People may tend to think that women andchildren are generally helped first, but factors suchas men's superior strength to women and theirswimming ability come into play.

However, new research has found that this is theexception rather than the rule.

Furthermore, two surveying ships with the help of theUS Navy made the discovery of the wreck.

The Titanic became the killer of hundreds of victimsthat were expecting to have a luxurious vacation.

Children, however, had a higher percentage of gettingrescued than that of both men and women.

Most men, on the other hand, did not manage torescue any of the female voyagers.

Mammals owe much of their success to parenting.They are generally the most caring parents in thenatural world. The female feeds her young with milkfrom her own body and looks after them until theycan take care of themselves. During this time, theoffspring learns essential survival techniques, suchas social behaviour and methods of obtainingfood. ---- Others, like deer, stand and run withinminutes of being born.

Almost all mammal species control their bodytemperature by sweating when it is hot.

Some animals go into hibernation in cold climates, andtherefore they do not eat during this period and live onthe fat stored in their bodies.

If any of the five senses is weak in animals, it iscompensated by the rest which are developed bynatural activities.

Some mammals, such as mice, are born blind andhelpless and require an intensive period of parentalcare.

Another survival skill that they learn during this time isthat they sharpen their senses to locate food.

Nigeria is potentially the richest nation in Africa,with huge reserves of oil, natural gas, coal, tin, andiron ore. ---- However, corruption and badgovernment have meant that the money earned fromthese natural resources has not been used properly,and most Nigerians remain very poor.

This country has also been affected by drought, cropfailure and over-farming.

Efforts were made to develop other products so thatNigeria’s economy was not so dependent on oil.

The oil industries of Cameroon and the mineral minesof Congo employ thousands of people as those ofNigeria do.

In addition, Central Africa is a hugely fertile region,with abundant grasslands and lots of rivers.
