About 300 million people around the world have type-2 diabetics, but not everyone can

However, researchers have discovered that a compound found in a common vegetable

Reading 2 for questions 51 - 60

Line The U.S. Thanksgiving holiday is symbolized by its aditional food, a large bird we call a
turkey. But turkey is certainly not from Turkey. In fact, It English name is based on one big
mistake. We could say it is a case of mistaken identity. The word "Turkey" has meant "the land of
the Turks" since ancient times. The word "turkey" as it refers to the bird first appeared in the
5 English language in the mid-1500s.
The misunderstanding over the word happened because of two similar-looking kinds of
birds. There is an African bird called the guinea fowl. It has dark feathers with white spots and a
patch of brown on the back of its neck. Portuguese traders brought the guinea fowl to Europe
through North Africa. This foreign bird came to Europe through Turkish lands. So, the English
10 thought of the bird as a "Turkish chicken." When Europeans came to North America, they saw a
bird that looked like the guinea fowl. This bird was native to the North American continent.
Hundreds of years later, we continue to call this North American bird "turkey," even
though it has no connection at all with the country Turkey, or even with Europe. But English is not
the only language with interestin ja!—a even questionable—names for thisShA t American him.
15 The Turkish, for their part, all turkey "hindi ' the Turkish name for India. The reference to India
probably comes from the old,wrong idea that the New World was in Eastern Asia. The French call
it "dinde," a name that also connects the bird to India, which means "from India" in French.
"Turkey" has similar names in s—e-Yeral other languages. bO, what do they call this North American
bird in India? Well, in the Hindi language, "turkey" is "tarki."
