Prediabetes means the body struggles to use or produce the hormone insulin, making blood sugar (glucose) zoom to abnormally high levels, but not quite high enough to be considered full-blown diabetes. A third of American adults are estimated to have it, and your risk is higher if you have an immediate family history of type 2 diabetes, you are over 45, or you have had gestational diabetes. Though many people with prediabetes eventually progress to the full disease, taking steps to make some lifestyle changes such as a healthy Mediterranean diet and more exercise to control blood sugar can help stave it off . That is crucial: Type 2 diabetes increases risks for chronic health problems like heart disease, stroke, and impaired nerve, eye, and kidney function.1) According to the passage, prediabetes is ----. a medical condition considered by some to be more threatening than type 2 diabetes treated through hormone insulin, which increases glucose levels in the blood a stage that comes before the development of type 2 diabetes unavoidable if you have an immediate family history of it the name of a medical problem first identified by Dr. Grazia Aleppo None 2) Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about type 2 diabetes?

Then, invite the candidates home to meet the children before making a commitment. Mother: - Well, I’ve already invited a young girl for an interview, but how can I be sure I’m choosing the right person? Friend: - --- What is important is that you should agree on the fee and hours with the babysitter before she babysits. Even though you feel sure about this babysitter, it’s also important that your children are happy with her. If you and the children like her, and you think she seems reliable, you can ask her to come for a trial sit. It is your responsibility as a parent to satisfy yourself that the babysitter will act responsibly and safeguard the well-being of your children. She should only babysit when she feels well and she should arrive early so that the children are settled before you leave.

Just think about how much the technology has improved in the last 10 years. Absolutely. But there are going to be so many new electric models to choose from in the coming years. Well, yes and no. Most of them bought them for environmental reasons, but some complain about problems with the battery. Somewhat. They say that they save a lot of money when it comes to maintenance because the engines are much less complicated.

None 7) Andy: - Looking at the Pyramids in Egypt, do you think Egyptians were more concerned about death than life? Jean: - Well, contrary to what most people believe, I think they were obsessed with life rather than death. Andy: - Why do you think so? Jean: - --- Their tombs contain endless 'daily life' scenes, depicting individuals working in the fields, making wine, dancing and numerous other daily activities. The ancient Egyptians’ attitudes to life and death were heavily influenced by their belief that eternal life could be ensured by a wide range of strategies. In ancient Egypt, each individual was considered to comprise not only a physical body but also three other crucial elements. Many recent books have made the point that their real concerns lay somewhere between these two extremes. Egyptians used to devote most of their time and financial resources to preparations for death more than we would imagine.

Don’t you agree that this problem requires substantial consideration? Can you suggest an effective solution to this issue?

It has been suggested that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built mainly by slaves rather than skilled workers. The Great Pyramid of Giza is claimed to have been built by qualified workers who mostly relied on slave labour. Although many assume it was built by slave labour, the Great Pyramid of Giza is believed to have been constructed by skilled workers. In spite of claims that qualified workers must have built the Great Pyramid of Giza, many assert that it owes its existence to slaves. There are claims that skilled workers could not have erected the Great Pyramid of Giza without slave labour. None 10) In addition to the role of culture in shaping our diets, our own learning experience dictates which foods we will include in our diets. Which foods we will have in our diets depends on our own learning experience rather than culture in shaping our diets. Together with culture, our own learning experience leads us to choose the foods that will be a part of our diets. Which foods we will include in our diets is determined by our own learning experience on which culture has a profound effect. Even if the role of our own learning experience in shaping our diets is undeniable, it is the culture which makes the biggest contribution to our food choices. Our diets, mostly influenced by culture, are not totally independent of our own learning experience. None 11) Unless an increasing proportion of a nation’s income is devoted to health care, shortages in its services are likely to get worse. It is likely that shortages in health care services will continue to worsen if a growing proportion of a country’s revenues is not allocated to it. While an increasing ratio of a nation’s income could be devoted to health care, it would still be possible for it to encounter worsening limitations. If shortages in health care are likely to worsen within a country, more of that nation’s income must be devoted to services related to health care. A growing proportion of a country’s income should be directed at reducing the likelihood that health care restrictions will worsen. A higher ratio of a nation’s income is probably necessary to ensure that the proportion of shortages in health care services is manageable. None 12) As NASA plans return visits to the Moon, lunar scientists hope for more samples from across the surface and deep underground to learn more about the early history of the solar system. In order to help lunar scientists improve their studies on the early history of the solar system, NASA is planning to revisit the Moon and get more samples from across the surface and deep underground Since NASA aims to go to the Moon again, lunar scientists are waiting for more samples from across the surface and deep underground that can provide further information about the early history of the solar system. Because lunar scientists wish for more samples across the surface and deep underground to learn more about the early history of the solar system they hope that NASA can revisit the Moon. Lunar scientists who are studying the early history of the solar system want to obtain new samples from both across and below the Moon’s surface, so NASA is planning to revisit the Moon. The same way in which NASA wants to revisit the Moon, lunar scientists wish to get more samples from both above and below the surface so that they can advance their studies on the early history of the solar system.

But isn’t it a bit revealing? I can’t say anything really. You know I have a poor taste in fashion. It’s too expensive for such a plain and unattractive dress. Don’t you think so?

They can’t fire me as I am your boss. None 18) You ordered a laptop from an online computer company. When you receive your new laptop, you notice that its battery does not seem to function properly.
