Aging is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an illness or
accident does not kill it prematurely. The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people, such as the
graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin. Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and energy,
a decline in hearing and eyesight, or even a light graying of the coat. Plants are too, but the signs are much harder to
detect.

Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood. They reach their peak at the
time of maturity, or early adulthood. After that, they begin to decline. Bones, for example, gradually become lighter and
more brittle. In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more inflexible. This can make moving
very painful.
All the major organs of the body show signs of aging. The brain, for example, works less efficiently, and even gets
smaller in size. Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down. Old people often have trouble in remembering recent
events.
One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead from the heart. They
become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest of body. This condition accounts, directly or
indirectly, for many of the diseases of the aged. It may, for example, result in heart attack.
Aging is not a uniform process. Different parts of the body wear out at the different rates. There are differences
among people in their rate of aging. Even the cell of the body differ in the way they age. The majority of cell are capable
of reproducing themselves many times during the course ofa lifetime. Nerve cells and muscle fibers can never be replaced
once they wear out.
Gerontologists- scientists who study the process of aging – believe this wearing out of the body is controlled by a
built-in biological time-clock. They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow down the process.
This could give man a longer life and a great number of productive years.

V. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the question from 28 to 37.
PANDEMIC DISEASES
Diseases are a natural part of life on earth. If there were no diseases, the population would grow too quickly, and
there would not be enough food or other resources, so in a way, diseases are natural ways of keeping the Earth in balance.
But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people. For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu
across the world, killing over 25 million people only in six months. Such terrible outbreaks of a diseases are called
pandemics.
Pandemics happen when a diseases changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In 1918, a new
type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly and killed

large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them have a
new thing in common.
First, all pandemics diseases spread from one person to another very easily.
Second, while they may kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good example of this
would be the Marburg virus. The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious diseases. In addition, it is deadly. About 70%80% of all people who get the Marburg virus died from the diseases. However, the Marburg virus has not become a
pandemics because most people die within three days of getting the diseases. This means that the virus does not have
enough time to spread a large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to
ten day to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread.
While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common. Doctors carefully
monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For example, in 2002, and 2003, doctors carefully watched
SARS. Their health warming may have prevented SARS from becoming a pandemic.
28. This passage is mainly about____.
A. How to prevent pandemic diseases
B. Pandemic diseases
C. Pandemic diseases throughout history
D. Why pandemics happen
29. According to paragraph1, how are diseases a natural part of life on Earth?
