4: Identify and correct 10 mistakes in the following passage.

Telecommunicating is a mean of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For employees
whose jobs involve sitting in a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is
of none consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees
can dial the office computer from a distance site and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA
Today estimate that there are approximately 8.7 millions telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually,
the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published "The Portable Executive" as
their cover story a few years ago. Why hasn't telecommuting become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistant on the part of many managers.
These executives claim that supervise the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too
difficult, or, at least, systems for managing it are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager's responsibilities.

2. Read the passage and choose the correct answer.

The ocean’s predators come in all shapes and sizes. For example, one of the less infamous ones is the colorful starfish,
which feeds on plant life, coral, or other shellfish such as mussels for sustenance. A more bloodcurdling example,
especially to human beings and most other species of fish, is the shark, though most scientists agree that only ten percent
of the 450 plus species of shark have been documented as actually attacking a human. Still, there is another predator
lurking invisibly in the bodies of water of the world, one which poses one of the greatest threats to all species of ocean
life-bacteria. Though many types of fish are continually stalking and evading one another for survival, they all
band together in an attempt to keep bacteria levels at bay in order to allow their own existence to continue.
Bacteria play a dual role in the ecosystems of the oceans. On the one hand, they are beneficial as they simulate plant life
through food decomposition, which releases the necessary chemicals for the growth of the plant life. This is called
nutrient recycling and helps keep the oceans alive. But, on the other hand, bacteria are a major predator for all fish
because they attack fragile, weaker individuals. If they are allowed to run rampant and not kept in check, they could
virtually suffocate the oceans. In water, bacteria prove to be an even greater threat than on land because, as they
proliferate, they reduce the oxygen levels necessary for organisms in the oceans to live. Further, when fish populations
become depleted due to factors like overfishing, microbes such as algae expand and threaten role by thwarting bacteria
growth and maintaining the oceans’ equilibrium by reducing vulnerable links in the food chain.
In many ways, the balance within the oceans’ ecosystems mirrors the human body. That is, all of their components must
work in harmony for them to stay healthy, efficient, and alive. If one of them is missing or deficient, an entire system
can be placed in jeopardy. In both the human body and the ocean, bacteria play a vital role because, at manageable
levels, they aid in protecting and clearing each system of foreign agents that can be of harm. On the other hand, if
bacteria levels increase and become out of control, they can take hold of a system, overrun it, and become debilitating.
Therefore, both oceans and the human body have a kind of custodian that maintains bacteria levels. In the human body,
it is called a phagocyte. Phagocytes eat up sick, old, or dying cells, which are more prone to bacterial invasion, and thus
keep the body healthy. Like in the human body, bacteria can prove fatal to the living organisms in the ocean. Like
phagocytes in the human body, ocean predators work as antibacterial custodians of the seas. In essence, they are the
immune system and a vital link in the food chain because they remove small, injured, or sickly fish from the ocean
environment before bacteria can become too comfortable and multiply. By ridding the ocean of weaker fish, predators
allow the stronger ones to multiply, making their species stronger and more resident. Without their services and with
their declining numbers, bacteria will blossom to levels that will eventually overpower and kill even the strongest
species of fish because of the depletion of their number one source of life, all important oxygen.
While the greatest battle in the ocean may seem on the surface to be the survival of the fittest fish, a closer look reveals
something completely different: fish versus microorganism. Clearly, most living organisms in the oceans are hunters by
nature, but this way of life does not merely provide a food source for a dominant species. It also maintains a health level
of bacteria in an ocean’s ecosystem, thus ensuring the continuation of all species of life within. Major predators are
necessary, like the antibacterial cells of the human body, to keep this delicate balance in synch. If their numbers
continue to decline and humans ignore their vital role in the ocean, dire consequences will definitely result.

3. Read the following text and answer the questions.

Most of us have healthy intentions when it comes to the food we eat. But it can be tough. Especially when you
consider that our bodies have not properly adapted to our highly processed fast food diets.
A One hundred years ago, the leading causes of death in the industrial world were infectious diseases such as
tuberculosis, influenza and pneumonia. Since then, the emergence of antibiotics, vaccines and public health controls has
reduced the impact of infectious disease. Today, the top killers are non-infectious illnesses related essentially to lifestyle
(diet, smoking and lack of exercise). The main causes of death in the United States in 1997 were heart disease, cancer
and stroke. Chronic health problems, such as obesity, noninsulin-dependent diabetes and osteoporosis, which are not
necessarily lethal but nonetheless debilitating, are steadily increasing. It is clear that economic and technical progress is
no assurance of good health.
B Humans are qualitatively different from other animals because we manipulate the flow of energy and
resources through the ecosystem to our advantage, and consequently to the detriment of other organisms. That is why
we compete so successfully with other species. But with this success come some inherent failings, particularly in terms
of our health.
C According to physician Boyd Eaton and his anthropologist colleagues, despite all our technological wizardry
and intellectual advances, modern humans are seriously malnourished. The human body evolved to eat a very different
diet from that which most of us consume today. Before the advent of agriculture, about ten thousand years ago, people
were hunter-gatherers, the food varying with the seasons and climate and all obtained from local sources. Our ancestors
rarely, if ever, ate grains or drank the milk of other animals.
D Although ten thousand years seems a long time ago, 99.99 percent of our genetic material was already
formed. Thus we are not well adapted to an agriculturally based diet of cereals and dairy products. At least 100,000
generations of people were hunter-gatherers, only 500 generations have depended on agriculture, only ten generations
have lived since the onset of the industrial age and only two generations have grown up with highly processed fast
foods. Physicians Randolph Nesse and George Williams write: 'Our bodies were designed over the course of millions of
years for lives spent in small groups hunting and gathering on the plains of Africa. Natural selection has not had time to
revise our bodies for coping with fatty diets, automobiles, drugs, artificial lights and central heating. From this mismatch
between our design and our environment arises much, perhaps most, preventable modern disease.'
E Do we really want to eat like prehistoric humans? Surely 'cavemen' were not healthy? Surely their life was
hard and short? Apparently not. Archaeological evidence indicates that these hunter-gatherer ancestors were robust,
strong and lean with no sign of osteoporosis or arthritis -even at more advanced ages. Paleolithic humans ate a diet
similar to that of wild chimpanzees and gorillas today: raw fruit, nuts, seeds, vegetation, fresh untreated water, insects
and wild-game meat low in saturated fats. Much of their food was hard and bitter. Most important, like chimpanzees and
gorillas, prehistoric humans ate a wide variety of plants - an estimated 100 to 300 different types in one year. Nowadays,
even health-conscious, rich westerners seldom consume more than twenty to thirty different species of plants.
F The early human diet is estimated to have included more than 100 grams of fiber a day. Today the
recommended level of 30 grams is rarely achieved by most of us. Humans and lowland gorillas share similar digestive
tracts - in particular, the colon - but, while gorillas derive up to 60 percent of their total energy from fiber fermentation
in the colon, modern humans get only about 4 percent. When gorillas are brought into captivity and fed on lower-fiber
diets containing meat and eggs, they suffer from many common human disorders: cardiovascular disease, ulcerative
colitis and high cholesterol levels. Their natural diet, rich in antioxidants and fiber, apparently prevents these diseases in
the wild, suggesting that such a diet may have serious implications for our own health.
G Not all agricultural societies have taken the same road. Many traditional agriculturalists maintain the
diversity of their diet by eating a variety of herbs and other plant compounds along with meat and grains. The Huasa
people of northern Nigeria, for example, traditionally include up to twenty wild medicinal plants in their grain-based
soups, and peoples who have become heavily reliant on animal products have found ways of countering the negative
effects of such a diet. While the Masai of Africa eat meat and drink blood, milk and animal fat as their only sources of
protein, they suffer less heart trouble than Westerners. One reason is that they always combine their animal products
with strong, bitter antioxidant herbs. In other words, the Masai have balanced the intake of oxidising and antioxidising
compounds. According to Timothy Johns, it is not the high intake of animal fat or the low intake of antioxidants, that
creates so many health problems in industrial countries; it is the lack of balance between the two.
H Eating the right foods and natural medicines requires a sensitivity to subtle changes in appetite. Do I fancy
something sweet, sour, salty, stimulating or sedating? What sort of hunger is it? And after consumption, has the 'need'
been satisfied? Such subtleties are easily overridden by artificially created superstimuli in processed foods that leave us
unable to select a healthy diet. We need to listen more carefully to our bodies' cravings and take an intentional role in
maintaining our health before disease sets in.
