Soru 16 : Farmers in many countries utilize antibiotics in two key ways: at full strength to treat animals that are sick and in low doses to fatten meat- producing livestock or to prevent veterinary illnesses. Although even the proper use of antibiotics can inadvertently lead to the spread of drug resistant bacteria, the habit of using a low dose is a formula for disaster: the treatment provides just enough antibiotic to kill some but not all bacteria. The germs that survive are typically those that happen to bear genetic mutations for resisting the antibiotic. They then reproduce and exchange genes with other microbial resisters. As bacteria are found literally everywhere, resistant strains produced in animals eventually find their way into people as well. You could not design a better system for guaranteeing the spread of antibiotic resistance. To cease the spread, Denmark enforced tighter rules on the use of antibiotics in the raising of poultry and other farm animals. The lesson is that improving animal husbandry – making sure that pens, stalls and cages are properly cleaned and giving animals more room or time to mature – offsets the initial negative impact of limiting antibiotic use.
It is stated in the passage that antibiotics ----.A) are crucial as they change the genetic mutations of poultryB) form the basis for microbial resistance of genes in animalsC) are effective in restricting resistant strains of bacteria in poultryD) are employed to prevent a possible disease spread from farm animals to human beingsE) may produce drug resistant bacteria, irrespective of how carefully they are used

Soru 26 : The most used language for communication on the Internet is English. This is due to the Internet's origins and to the growing role of English as an international language.

However, some glitches, such as with the language Mojibake, still remain.

Soru 28 : The woodland frog is the only animal able to survive after it's been frozen. These frogs live north of the Artic circle and survive for weeks in a frozen state. Glucose in their blood acts as a kind of antifreeze that concentrates on the frogs' vital organs, protecting them from damage while the rest of the body freezes solid. When ice forms on the frog's skin its heart may slow until it stops completely, making it appear dead. Although up to 65 percent of its body water can get frozen, its cells aren't. What freezes is the water outside the cells. Once the outside temperature rises the frog 'comes back to life' as if nothing happened.
The passage points out that woodland frogs
----.
