Borborygmi happens when your stomach walls squeeze together in an attempt to mix and digest food and there's no food there. Gases and digestive juices slosh around in your empty stomach and before you know it, borborygmi kicks in. However, hunger really has nothing to do with an empty stomach but, instead, is a product of certain nutrients missing in the blood. Our brains contain a hunger centre, which functions as an accelerator, or as a brake for our stomachs and intestines. Once necessary nutrients are lacking from the blood, the dinner bell is rung, and the stomach and intestines come rumbling. The now active stomach and intestine aren't picky as to what foods will satisfy them, and will grab anything they can. If ever in a situation where borborygmi kicks in, and there is no food in sight, remember to remain calm. The calmer you are, the more slowly your body will metabolize the protein it has stored.

----.

Contrary to the fact that most people think America was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492, he was not the first person to discover America, but his journey was important. After it, the first European settlers began to arrive in the New World. There’s one very strange thing about the story of Columbus. Originally he wanted to discover a new way by the sea to Asia; he did not expect to find a new continent. His ships landed in the West Indies, but in his opinion, the lands that he reached were part of Asia. For some years, Columbus did not realize his mistake.

Wildfires are an important environmental hazard in many geographical areas. Those areas most prone to wildfires have wet seasons followed by dry seasons. Vegetation that grows and accumulates during the wet season dries out enough during the dry season to burn easily. When lightning hits the ground, it
ignites the dry organic material, and a fire spreads through the area. Actually fires have several effects on the environment. First, burning frees the minerals that are locked in organic matter. The ashes remaining after a fire are rich in otassium, phosphorus, calcium, and other minerals essential for plant growth. Thus, vegetation flourishes following a fire. Second, fire removes plant cover and exposes the soil, which stimulates the germination of seeds requiring bare soil, and encourages the growth of shade-intolerant plants. Third, fire can cause increased soil erosion because it removes plant cover, leaving the soil more vulnerable to wind and water.
44. It is clear from the passage that the areas with vegetation, where a wet season is followed by a dry season, ---.
A) are most suitable for the germination of plant seeds

The ability of the cat to survive falls from high places that would kill humans or other animals is not due to multiple lives, but to several advantages they possess. Their small size and low body weight soften the impact as they make contact with the ground. The highly developed inner ears of cats equip them with a keen sense of balance, which is critical to their landing on their feet. Since cats land on all four paws, the impact from landing on the ground is absorbed by all four. Additionally, cats bend their legs when they land, which cushions the impact by spreading the impact. A cat stands a greater chance of survival if it falls from a higher place than from a lower place. Laws of physics explain why the survival rates vary. All falling bodies, regardless of their masses, accelerate by

Smallpox (also known by the Latin names Variola or Variola vera) was a highly contagious viral disease unique to humans. It is caused by two virus variants called Variola major and Variola minor. V. major is the more deadly form, with a typical mortality of 20–40 percent of those infected. The other type, V. minor, only kills 1% of its victims. Many survivors are left blind in one or both eyes from corneal ulcerations, and persistent skin scarring—pockmarks—is nearly universal. Smallpox was responsible for an estimated 300–500 million deaths in the 20th century. As recently as 1967, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 15 million people contracted the disease and that two million died in that year. After successful vaccination campaigns, in 1979 the WHO certified the eradication of smallpox, though cultures of the virus are kept by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States and at the Institute of Virus Preparations in Siberia, Russia.

Flexography (also called surface printing), often abbreviated to flexo, is a method of printing most commonly used for packaging. A flexo print is achieved by creating a mirrored master of the required image as a 3D relief in a rubber or polymer material. A measured amount of ink is deposited upon the surface of the printing plate (or printing cylinder) using an anilox roll. The print surface then rotates, contacting the print material which transfers the ink. Flexo is so named because it was originally used as a method of printing onto corrugated cardboard which has a very uneven surface. It is required that the printing plate surface maintain contact with the cardboard, which it does by being flexible. Also unprinted high points on the cardboard must not get printed by ink remnants not on the plate surface, which is achieved by ensuring a sufficient depth for the non-print areas of the plate. Originally flexo printing was very low quality. In the last 3 decades great advances have been made, including improvements to the plate material and the method of plate creation—usually photographic exposure followed by chemical etch, though also by direct laser engraving. Laser-etched anilox rolls also play a part in the improvement of print quality.
3. We learn from the passage that ..............
A) the print surface stays stable
B) the print surface transfers the ink
C) flexo printing was first done onto uneven surfaces
D) corrugated cardboards are now used by most of the publishers in the world

A Dutch study found that Occupational Therapy (OT) - training to do simple things around the house - improved the lives of people with dementia such as Alzheimer's disease, as well as the people who care for them. In the study, researchers at the University Medical Centre Nijmegen divided 135 seniors diagnosed with mild to moderate dementia into two groups. One group received OT, while the other did not. The scientists discovered that 75 percent of the patients who had the OT training showed improvement in motor skills, and 82 percent needed less assistance in day-to-day tasks. Similar improvement was seen in only 10 percent of those who did not get the training. In addition, nearly half the caretakers who received the OT felt more competent to do their duties.

A) at least two different groups of people were used
B) those who did not get Occupational Therapy did not show any improvement
