Radioisotopes
Radiation from radioisotopes can be used to kill cancer cells. Chemist Marie Curie
received two Nobel Prizes for her work with radioisotopes. Her work led to the discovery of
the neutron and synthesis of artificial radioactive elements. She died of leukemia at 67,
caused by extensive exposure of radiation. Curie never believed that radium and other
materials she worked with were a health hazard. In World War I, glowing radium was used
on watch dials to help soldiers read their watches in the dark and to synchronize their attacks.
Unfortunately, women who worked in factories were drawing their radium-stained brushes
to fine points by putting them between their lips. As a result, their teeth would glow in the
dark. But this was an amusement for children more than a cause of worry. About ten years
later, the women developed cancer in their jaws and mouths and had problems making blood
cells. This exposed the dangers of radiation.
(Cited from gotestprep)

15. Based on the information in the passage, which statement about radioisotopes is false?
1. Radioisotopes can kill cancer cells. 2. Radioisotopes can cause cancer.
3. A radioisotope can glow in the dark. 4. A radioisotope was used in watch dials.
5. Einstein received the Nobel Prize for working with isotopes.
16. Which dangers of radiation were mentioned in the passage?
1. Genetic mutation 2. Leukemia
3. Chemotherapy 4. Genetic mutation and Leukemia
5. Leukemia and Chemotherapy

Salmonella
Farm animals can carry salmonella, a kind of bacteria that can cause severe food
poisoning. However, animals fed antibiotics can carry especially deadly strains of
salmonella. In Minnesota in 1983, 11 people were hospitalized with salmonella poisoning.
This number itself was not striking at all. Forty thousand Americans are hospitalized with
salmonella poisoning every year. What was striking about the cases in Minnesota was that
each patient had severe symptoms and all the patients were infected with the same, rare strain
of salmonella, resistant to several common antibiotics. A young scientist, Scott Holmberg,
noted that eight patients were taking the same antibiotics for sore throats. He ruled out the
possibility that the antibiotics themselves were infected with the bacteria because three of
the patients were not taking antibiotics at all. He later showed that the people were infected
with salmonella prior to taking the antibiotics, but that the antibiotics triggered the onset of
salmonella poisoning. He postulated that salmonella suddenly flourished when the patients
took antibiotics because the antibiotics killed off all other competing bacteria. He was also
able to trace the antibiotics resistant salmonella to the beef that was imported to Minnesota
from a farm in South Dakota, at which cattle were routinely fed antibiotics and at which one
calf died of the same strain of salmonella.

17. As a result if this finding, what should the Food and Drug Administration do?
1. FDA should carefully regulate the prescription of antibiotics for sore throats.
2. FDA should prevent the export of meat from South Dakota to Minnesota.
3. FDA should limit the practice of feeding antibiotics to cattle.
4. FDA should take the antibiotic that caused salmonella off the market.
5. FDA should require a special prescription for antibiotics resistant to salmonella.
18. Based in the passage, which one of the following statements is false?
1. Salmonella poisoning is a common bacterial infection.
2. Some strands of bacteria are resistant to antibiotics.
3. Antibiotics kill off bacteria that are not resistant to antibiotics.
4. Antibiotics transmit salmonella.
5. Farm animals can carry salmonella.

Equal Education
“ Today, education is perhaps the most important function of state and local government.
Compulsory school attendance laws and the great expenditures for education both
demonstrate our recognition of the importance of education to our democratic society. It is
required in the performance of our most basic public responsibilities, even service in the
armed forces. It is the very foundation of good citizenship. Today, it is a principal instrument
in awakening the child to cultural values, in preparing him for later professional training,
and in helping him to adjust normally to his environment. In these days, it is doubtful that
any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an
education. Such an opportunity, where the state has undertaken to provide it, is a right which
must be made available to all on equal terms.
We come then to the question presented: Does segregation of children in public schools
solely in the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other ‘tangible’ factors
may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities?
We believe that it does”
-U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren in a 1954 decision that ruled that separate
schools for blacks and whites were unconstitutional Source: Cornell Law School
(Cited from gotestprep)
19. Which of the following is NOT a purpose of educational as expressed in the quotation?
1. To expose children to values
2. To explain the government’s education budget
3. To prepare those who might serve the country as soldiers
4. To produce good citizens
5. To give kids a chance to succeed at life
20. According to the passage, how might the court define “equal educational opportunity”?
1. Schools with the same quality of teaching
2. Schools that only admit students based on sex.
3. Schools that separate minority students to give them a better chance.
4. Schools of the same quality and welcome all students regardless of race.
5. Schools with the same quality of facilities and materials

Kevlar
Did you know that there is a fiber that is as flexible and lightweight as nylon yet five times
stronger than steel? Did you know that this fabric is resistant to temperatures higher than 500
degrees Fahrenheit? Did you know that a woman invented this fiber? This miraculous fabric
is called Kevlar and it is used to make everything from body armor to musical instruments.
The year was 1964. There were gasoline shortages due to conflict in the Middle East. A
Polish- American chemist named Stephanie Louise Kwolek was working for DuPont, an
American chemical company. She and her group were trying to make a lightweight, yet
durable fiber to be used in tires. Lighter tires would allow vehicles to get better gas mileage,
but the tires had to be strong enough to resist the wear and tear of the road. They had been
working on the problem for some time and had little success, until Kwolek had a
breakthrough.
Kwolek and her group were synthesizing or creating fibers to test. During one of the steps
in the process, Kwolek created a milky white solution by mixing two chemicals that were
often used in the process. This solution was usually thrown away, but Kwolek convinced
one of the technicians to help her test it. They were amazed to discover that the fabric that
Kwolek had created was not only more durable than nylon, it was more durable than steel.
Kwolek had invented Kevlar.
Kevlar is a remarkable fabric known for its strength and durability. Since its invention it
has found its way into a wide variety of products. Kevlar is used in sporting equipment like
bike tires, bowstrings, and tennis racquets. It is used in musical instruments like drum heads,
reeds, and speaker cones. And it is used in protective gear like motorcycle safety jackets,
gloves, and shoes. However, Kevlar is best known for its ability to stop bullets.
Richard Armellino created the first Kevlar bulletproof vest in 1975. It contained 15 layers
of Kevlar, which could stop handgun and shotgun bullets. The vest also had a steel plate over
the heart, which made the vest strong enough to stop rifle rounds. Vests like Armellino's
were quickly picked up by police forces and it is estimated that by 1990, half of all police
officers in America wore bulletproof vests daily. By 2006 there were over 2,000 documented
police vest "saves," or instances where officers were protected from deadly wounds by
wearing bulletproof vests.
Kevlar is an amazing fabric not only for its hardness and durability, but also for its heat
resistance. Because of this it has been used to replace asbestos. Asbestos is a naturally
occurring material that is known for its ability to resist fire. Asbestos can resist temperatures
over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. For this reason it was used in roofs, electrical cables, and
brake pads, until people discovered that it causes cancer and other serious health problems.
Kevlar poses no such risks. It is lightweight, flexible, and resistant to fire. Therefore, it has
proven to be a good replacement for asbestos in many cases.
Since its invention in 1964, Kevlar has won its way into our lives. From musical
instruments and brake pads to protective equipment and sporting gear, Kevlar is everywhere.
Every day of your life you are exposed to something that was made better by Kevlar. Who'd
have known?
(Cited from ereadingsheet)
21. Which of the following caused the search for a fabric like Kevlar?
1. A shortage in the gasoline supply 2. A desire to protect police officers
3. The need to replace asbestos 4. The want of better musical instruments
5. The expansion of the industry
