Smallpox (also known by the Latin names Variola or Variola vera) was a highly contagious viral disease unique to humans. It is caused by two virus variants called Variola major and Variola minor. V. major is the more deadly form, with a typical mortality of 20–40 percent of those infected. The other type, V. minor, only kills 1% of its victims. Many survivors are left blind in one or both eyes from corneal ulcerations, and persistent skin scarring—pockmarks—is nearly universal. Smallpox was responsible for an estimated 300–500 million deaths in the 20th century. As recently as 1967, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 15 million people contracted the disease and that two million died in that year. After successful vaccination campaigns, in 1979 the WHO certified the eradication of smallpox, though cultures of the virus are kept by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States and at the Institute of Virus Preparations in Siberia, Russia.

We should care about dying languages for the same reason that we care when a species of animal or plant dies. It reduces the diversity of our planet. In the case of language, we are talking about intellectual and cultural diversity, not biological diversity, but the issues are the same. As a result of decades of environmental publicity and activism, most people have come to accept that biodiversity is a good thing. But linguistic diversity has not enjoyed the same publicity. Diversity occupies a central place in evolutionary theory because it enables a species to survive in different environments. Increasing uniformity holds dangers for the long-term survival of a species. The strongest ecosystems are those which are most diverse. It has often been said that our success in colonizing the planet can be accounted for by our ability to develop diverse cultures which suit different environments.
It is stressed in the passage that biological diversity -----.
A) is not in any way related to eco¬ systems
B) has received far more attention than linguistic diversity
C) is fast being reduced
D) contributes very little to the survival of plant and animal species
E) is richer in northern regions than in southern ones

The Renaissance originated in Italy for several
reasons. The most fundamental reason was that Italy
in the later Middle Ages was the most advanced
urban society in all of Europe. Unlike aristocrats north
of the Alps, Italian aristocrats customarily lived in
urban centres rather than in rural castles and
consequently became fully involved in urban public
affairs. Moreover, since the Italian aristocracy built its
palaces in the cities, the aristocratic class was less
sharply set off from the class of rich merchants than
in other European countries. Hence, whereas in
France or Germany most aristocrats lived on the
income from their lands while rich town dwellers,
called bourgeois in French, gained their living from
trade, in Italy so many town-dwelling aristocrats
engaged in banking or mercantile enterprises, and so
many rich mercantile families imitated the manners of
the aristocracy that, by the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries, the aristocracy and upper bourgeoisie
were becoming virtually indistinguishable. For
instance, the noted Florentine family of the Medici,
which had emerged as a family of physicians (as the
name suggests), made its fortune in banking and
commerce, and rose into the aristocracy in the
fifteenth century. Obviously, social mobility as such
brought about a great demand for education in the
skills of reading and counting necessary to become a successful merchant, but the richest and most
prominent families sought above all to find teachers
who would impart to their sons the knowledge and
skills necessary in politics and public life.
It is suggested in the passage that, in the period
before the Renaissance, ----.
A) the aristocrats in Europe were indifferent to the
quality of education offered at schools
B) the Medici of Florence had been a poor
mercantile family with no skills in politics
C) France and Germany had many more
aristocratic families than Italy
D) European banking was completely monopolized
by the rich town-dwellers of France
E) no other European country had an urban society
as advanced as that of Italy

A) Hepatitin bir belirtisi de, karaciğerin kanda fazla miktarda bulunan sarı renkli safra pigmentlerini parçalayamadığı zaman derinin ve gözlerin sarılaşması biçiminde ortaya çıkan sarılık hastalığıdır.
B) Hepatitin bir belirtisi de sarılıktır, bu hastalıkta karaciğer, kanda aşırı miktarda bulunan sarı renkli safra pigmentlerini parçalayamadığı için deride ve gözlerde bir sarılaşma meydana gelir.
C) Derinin ve gözlerin, karaciğerde aşırı miktarda bulunan sarı safra pigmentlerini parçalayamamasından dolayı sarılaşması şeklinde ortaya çıkan sarılık hastalığı, hepatitin en önemli belirtilerinden biridir.

In 1939 the Second World War began to take form. There was heated argument during this time over whether the United States should explore the idea of an atomic bomb. Einstein wrote to President Roosevelt warning him of the disaster that could occur if the Nazi's developed it first. Einstein did not participate in the development of the bomb, but the idea did stem from his equation E=mc2. Just as he knew that the bomb was under development, he also knew when it was going to be used. Just before the bomb was dropped on Japan. Einstein wrote a letter to the new President Harry Truman begging him not to use this terrible weapon. The rest of Einstein's life was dedicated to promoting peace. After the war ended, he declared, 'The war is won, but the peace is not.' He wrote many articles and made many speeches calling for a world government. His fame, at this point, was legendary. People from all over would write to him for advice, and he would often answer them. He also continued his scientific research until the day he died. This was on April 18, 1955. There is no doubt that he was dissatisfied that he never was able to find the true meaning of existence that he strove for all his life.
