question, read the four possible answers marked A, B, C and the best answer and mark the letter of your

Passage One

W: Well. you'll probably have an operation to remove the bowel, or some of it. It' s too diseased to save, I' m

afraid.

M: How will I go without a bowel? How can I live without a bowel?

W: During the operation, they will fit you externally with a colostomy bag.

M: You mean the bag of Shit hanging inside of my clothes?

M: Well, that' s perhaps an unnecessarily cruel way of putting it. But, broadly speaking, is sealed and

odor-free. They'll show you how to empty it and change it for yourself. And nobody need ever know that you've got

one unless you tell them.

M: Well, thanks a lot. Cancer of the bowel! All this time you have been prescribing tablets for heart burn, and it

turns out that I got cancer of the bowel? Oh, thanks a million. What next?How long will I go on now? Will I be able to

live any kind of normal life? Tell me!

W: I prescribed for you on the basis of the symptoms you yourself described to me. Only a colonoscopy can

reveal your condition. No doctor could diagnose your condition without the hospital tests that I arranged for you. And

yes, you will be able to live a pretty normal life and go work, and everything. Nobody need ever know a thing unless

you choose to tell them. And you have full life ahead of you.

Passage Two

For years researchers have debated the whether smoking effects the lungs in men and women differently. In a

most compelling study on the topic to date, researchers determined that women are twice as vulnerable to lung cancer

as men. But in a surprising twist, they die at half the rate of men. The study, which was published last week in the

Journal of the American Medical Association (J. A. M. A. ), included 9,427 men and'7,498 women from throughout

North America who were healthy, at least 40 years old and either current or former smokers. Over the course of more

than eight years, a group of investigators led by Dr. Claudia Henschke of the Weill Medical College in New York

City identified lung tumors in 113 of the men and 156 of the women. Then the researchers kept track of who lived and

for how long, as well as the treatment participants were given. The study showed that both sexes tended to be in their

late 60s when they received a lung-cancer diagnosis but that the women usually had smoked considerably less than

the men. Still, at each stage of lung cancer, the women lived longer than the men. If the reported results are confirmed,

there are a few hints from other research that might explain the sex difference. Women' s bodies appear to have

greater difficulty repairing the damage to their genes caused by smoking, but there is also some evidence that estrogen,

which is found in women' s lungs as well as their ovaries, may interfere with some tumors' ability to grow. There is

one thing about which all investigators are ready to agree: lung cancer is particularly deadly and almost entirely

preventable. So the take-home message is clear: Don' t smoke ! If you do smoke,quit!

she studied art, German, and English. After overcoming yet another personal tragedy, the death of her boyfriend in a

plane crash, Jill graduated in 1961. By this time, Jill had chosen a new career goal: teaching elementary school

children. Officials at UCLA, however,rejected her application for admission to the graduate school of education

because of her paralysis. But she persevered, working with children in the UCLA Clinic School. when her family

moved to Seattle, Jill was able to fulfill her new dream. She attended the School of Education at the University of
