TEXT

What do you do with your orange peels and corn cobs after you are done eating? Most people throw
them in the trash can. But food leftovers do not have to go into the trash. They are biodegradable, which means
that they can be broken down by bacteria into natural materials. People who like to garden often put their fruit
and vegetable scraps in a special place known as a compost pile.
A compost pile is a spot outdoors where food waste can break down into compost, which gardeners use.
This process takes several months. Once the compost is created, people spread this mixture in their gardens to
add nutrients to the soil. The compost in the soil helps new plants grow in the garden.
How do you take care of a compost pile? It needs air, water, and heat. Bacteria and other microorganisms break
down the food waste into more basic elements like water and carbon dioxide. This process requires oxygen, so
people use a shovel to turn compost regularly and help air reach all parts of the pile. The pile cannot dry out, so
it should be covered to keep moisture in. Finally, heat speeds up the process. This means a compost pile should
be in the sun for at least part of the day.
 Food leftovers are not the only things that turn into compost. You can also add yard waste like grass
clippings, dried leaves, and straw. In fact, you should add these things to create a healthy balance in your
compost. But do not add any weeds to your compost pile unless you want to grow weeds in your garden!
Sometimes seeds are left behind in the compost. This can be a welcome surprise if you find a tomato plant
sprouting where you had not planted one. The tomato seed was hiding in the compost, waiting to begin a new
life in the garden.

5) Gardeners use compost to

A. reduce the amount of trash on the planet
B. break down food waste
C. add nutrients to the soil
D. take care of bacteria and other microorganisms

6) To take care of a compost pile you have to

I. turn it regularly
II. cover it
III. make sure it is in the sun for at least part of the day

A. I only
B. I and II only
C. II and III only
D. I, II, and III

7) People should start a compost pile if they

A. need compost right away
B. do not like to garden
C. want to put their food waste to good use
D. eat oranges and corn

8) You should not put weeds in a compost pile because

A. they do not create a healthy balance
B. food leftovers are the only things that turn into compost
C. you do not want surprise plants growing in your garden
D. the seeds can create new weeds in your garden

9) As used in the final paragraph, sprouting most nearly means

A. blooming
B. growing
C. appearing
D. hiding

10) The author apparently believes that a tomato plant

A. is not a weed
B. should not go in a compost pile
C. is the best thing a gardener can grow
D. requires compost to grow

HUBBLE

The first idea of having an observatory in space was proposed in 1940 by Lyman Spitzer who was an
American astrophysicist. In the 1970’s the European Space Agency and NASA began working together to
design and build the Hubble Space Telescope. On April 25 th, 1990, a team of five astronauts who were aboard
the space shuttle Discovery put the Hubble in an orbit 380 miles above the Earth’s surface. NASA named the
telescope after American astronomer Edwin P. Hubble (1889 – 1953). Dr. Hubble’s studies confirmed that the
universe is expanding, which provided the foundation for the Big Bang theory.
Hubble’s mission:
- Explore the solar system
- Measure the age and size of the universe
- Discover the mysteries of galaxies, stars and planets

Quick facts:
- Length: 13.3 m
- Weight: 11,110 kg
- Maximum diameter: 4.2 m (Hubble is nearly the size of a bus)
- Cost: $ 2.2 billion dollars
- Time to complete one orbit: 97 minutes
- Speed: 28,000 kph

Vaccine-induced CD8+ T cells control AIDS virus replication
Published online 30 September 2012
Complete text available at: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal

Developing a vaccine for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may be aided by a complete
understanding of those rare cases in which some HIV-infected individuals control replication of the virus . Most
of these elite controllers express the histocompatibility alleles HLA-B*57 or HLA-B*27. These alleles remain by
far the most robust associations with low concentrations of plasma virus, yet the mechanism of control in these
individuals is not entirely clear. Here we vaccinate Indian rhesus macaques that express Mamu-B*08, an
animal model for HLA-B*27-mediated elite control, with three Mamu-B*08-restricted CD8+ T-cell epitopes, and
demonstrate that these vaccinated animals control replication of the highly pathogenic clonal simian
immunodeficiency virus (SIV) mac239 virus. High frequencies of CD8 + T cells against these Vif and Nef
epitopes in the blood, lymph nodes and colon were associated with viral control. Our findings indicate that
narrowly targeted vaccine-induced virus-specific CD8+ T-cell responses can control replication of the AIDS
virus.

(C) It analyses a research carried with people infected with HIV, and how the virus is developed in their
system.
(D) It states that macaques can host many kinds of diseases, including the SIV, which is a variation of the
human immunodeficiency virus.

29. Which fact led to the beginning of this research?

(A) Most people with HIV have alleles that accelerate the process of replication of the virus.
(B) A few people HIV infected were able to fight off this virus and eliminate it completely from the body
system.
(C) Macaques infected with SIV had small injuries in their body conditions.

MOON CRATERS

The moon has attracted man’s attention since the beginning of civilization.
Ancient Greeks discovered the influence of the moon upon the tides. Poets have looked at
the moon with romantic eyes. Space scientists have not only studied it with their
telescopes, but have also sent astronauts there. However, they have not found out all the
 answers to the mysteries of the moon. The origin of the moon craters, for example, is still
obscure.
According to one theory, thousands of meteors have crashed against the surface of the moon. The
impact of these crashes has formed the craters. They are pits and depressions on the lunar surface. Other
scientists disagree about this theory. For them, the craters have appeared because of eruptions either of gas or
lava.
