The major sciences of the Hellenistic Age were
astronomy, mathematics, geography, medicine, and
physics. The most renowned of the early Hellenistic
astronomers was Aristarchus of Samos (310-230
B.C.), sometimes called the “Hellenistic Copernicus.”
His primary accomplishment was his deduction that
the Earth and the other planets revolve around the
Sun. This view was not accepted by his successors
because it conflicted with the teachings of Aristotle
and also with the Greek conviction that humanity, and
therefore the Earth, must be at the centre of the
universe. Later, in the second century A.D.,
Aristarchus’s fame was overshadowed by that of

By analyzing depression, we find that depression is a disease that afflicts the human psyche in such a way that the afflicted tends to act and react abnormally toward others and himself. Adolescence is a time of emotional turmoil, mood swings, gloomy thoughts, and heightened sensitivity. It is a time of rebellion and experimentation .Therefore it comes to no surprise to discover that adolescent depression is strongly linked to teen suicide. Adolescent suicide is now responsible for more deaths in youths aged 15 to 19 than cardiovascular disease or cancer (Blackman, 1995). Despite this increased suicide rate, depression in this age group is greatly under diagnosed and leads to serious difficulties in school, work and personal adjustment which may often continue into adulthood. Brown (1996) has said the reason why depression is often over looked in children and adolescents is because children are not always able to express how they feel. Sometimes the symptoms of mood disorders take on different forms in children than in adults.
From the statements in the passage, we can understand that ____.
A) an avenue to treatment of depression in childhood can be psychotherapy
B) mood disorders are often accompanied by other psychological problems
C) the signs of clinical depression include marked changes in mood
D) instead of expressing their disorders teenagers may choose to engage in risky behaviour
E) the damage of depression is only towards yourself

Everybody has been talking about detox recently. What is this detox? Even though for some people detox is a kind of spring cleaning they do at home to their bodies, detox is not a new recovery method or a program that people can employ during the weekend and go back to their normal life again. It is a process that our cells are especially used to and helps our bodies rejuvenate themselves. Just as antibiotics kill bacteria in the body, detox is a system that enables the cells to get the best nourishment and helps in the elimination of toxins from the body. The liver, which is responsible for the removal of the body’s toxins, turns toxins into harmless substances that can be discharged from the body as feces, urine, perspiration, breath, tears and other bodily fluids. These excretion channels should work properly for an effective toxin discharge. If toxins cannot be discharged from the body, they overload the lymph system and can destroy the immune system’s balance.
2. We can infer from the passage that ..............
A) detox helps toxins accumulate in our body
B) antibiotics nourish the cells in our liver
C) our body may not adopt itself to the process of detox
D) detox is a natural process carried out in our body
E) without antibiotics it is impossible to start the process of detox
