No.1 Signs from Costa Rica's Mysterious Past What do you know about the country
called Cota Rica? The early history of Costa Rica is less
well understood than that of any other country in Central
America. The ancient people who lived there left few
signs of their culture. Scientists have found streets and
buildings made of stone, as well as peices of pots and
some artwork made of gold. From these objects, scientists
try to guess how the people lived. But since the people
had no written language, it is very difficult to create a
clear picture of what their culture was like. |

No.2 Diet and the Aging Process Scientists are continually looking
for ways to help us live longer. Some say that the length
of our life is decided mainly by our genes. But other
scientists are studying diet. In the past few years,
studies have shown that giving mice less food improves
their health. When scientists gave mice half as much food
as they normally eat, the mice lived as much as 50%
longer. In other studies, rats that ate less food had
more energy and were more active. |
(46) | What happened to the mice that were given less food? | |
1 | They lived longer than other mice. | ||
2 | They had less energy than othe mice. | ||
3 | They had more problems than other mice. | ||
4 | They aged more quickly than oter mice. | ||
(47) | Scientists are studying monkeys because | ||
1 | they do not need much food. | ||
2 | they are good at learning things. | ||

4 | Tthey so not live as long as humans. | ||
(48) | The study on monkeys in the United States | ||
1 | will help monkeys live another 15 years. | ||
2 | needs more time because monkeys live a long time. | ||
3 | has proved that monkeys live longer when they eat less. | ||
4 | has found that a restricted diet reduces illness in monkeys by 30%. | ||
(49) | What do most scientists advice people to do about their diets? | ||
1 | Start a restricted diet as soon as possible. | ||
2 | Avoid a restricted diet because it is bad for their health. | ||
3 | Wait until scientists know more about the effects of a restricted diet. | ||
4 | Stop eating the foods they like in order to live longer. | ||
(50) | Which of the following statements is true? | ||
1 | No humans have yet tried a restricted diet. | ||
2 | There is no need to pay attention to diet. | ||
3 | To live longer, people should eat what monkeys eat. | ||
4 | Restricted diets are often difficult to follow. | ||
