Vitamin D deficiency is traditionally associated with bone and muscle weakness, but in recent years a
number of studies have shown that low levels of the vitamin may predispose the body to high blood
pressure, congestive heart failure, and chronic blood vessel inflammation (associated with hardening of
the arteries). It also alters hormone levels to increase insulin resistance, which raises the risk of
diabetes.

In a review article published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, researchers surveyed
recent studies on the link between vitamin D deficiency and heart disease to come up with practical
advice on screening and treatment. They concluded that vitamin D deficiency is much more common
than previously thought, affecting up to half of adults and apparently healthy children in the U.S.
Researchers say higher rates of vitamin D deficiency may be due in part to people spending more time
indoors and efforts to minimize sun exposure through the use of sunscreens. Sunscreen with a sun
protection factor (SPF) of 15 blocks approximately 99% of vitamin D synthesis by the skin.

“We are outside less than we used be, and older adults and people who are overweight or obese are
less efficient at making vitamin D in response to sunlight,” says O’Keefe. “A little bit of sunshine is a good
thing, but the use of sunscreen to guard against skin cancer is important if you plan to be outside for
more than 15 to 30 minutes of intense sunlight exposure.”

6. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?

A. Recent study about vitamin D and heart disease
B. Vitamin D deficiency become a major survey
C. Lack of vitamin D attacks adult and children
D. Adult and children should be careful of vitamin D deficiency
E. New disease in US people

7. There are impacts from vitamin D deficiency, except …

A. Laxity of muscle
B. Congestive heart failure
C. Inflammation of blood vessel
D. Attack the arteries pressure
E. Diabetes trigger

8. Which statement is TRUE about the text?

A. Sunscreen with SPF of 15 blocks 90% of vitamin D synthesis by the skin
B. Vitamin D deficiency is already done
C. We can reduce vitamin D deficiency with sunscreen
D. The more we use sunscreen, the less we have vitamin D deficiency
E. Spending more time indoors allows us to have vitamin D deficiency

9. The relation between vitamin D deficiency and sunscreen uses can be best analogous to the
relation between …
A. Covid-19 and virus
B. Cloudy and rain
C. Starving and full
D. Urban and people
E. Disease and medicine

10. The word common in paragraph 2 has the closest meaning with …

As far back as late November, U.S. intelligence officials were warning that a contagion was sweeping
through China’s Wuhan region, changing the patterns of life and business and posing a threat to the
population, according to four sources briefed on the secret reporting. Concerns about what is now
known to be the novel coronavirus pandemic were detailed in a November intelligence report by the
military's National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI), according to two officials familiar with the
document’s contents.

The report was the result of analysis of wire and computer intercepts, coupled with satellite images. It
raised alarms because an out-of-control disease would pose a serious threat to U.S. forces in Asia --
forces that depend on the NCMI’s work. It paints a picture of an American government that could have
ramped up mitigation and containment efforts far earlier to prepare for a crisis poised to come home.
"Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event," one of the sources said of the NCMI’s report. It
was then briefed multiple times to the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s Joint Staff and the
White House.
Wednesday night, the Pentagon issued a statement denying the "product/assessment" existed.

From that warning in November, the sources described repeated briefings through December for
policymakers and decision-makers across the federal government as well as the National Security
Council at the White House. All of that culminated with a detailed explanation of the problem that
appeared in the President’s Daily Brief of intelligence matters in early January, the sources said. For
something to have
appeared in the PDB, it would have had to go through weeks of vetting and analysis, according to people
who have worked on presidential briefings in both Republican and Democratic administrations.

"The timeline of the intel side of this may be further back than we’re discussing," the sources said of
preliminary reports from Wuhan. "But this was definitely being briefed beginning at the end of
November as something the military needed to take a posture on," they said.
