    Although the period that we call the Renaissance begin in Italy in
 the fourteenth century, this idea of rebirth in learning characterized
 other epochs in history in different parts of the world.
   In 800 A. D. Charlemagne became	king of the Franks and initiated the
 Carolingian  Renaissance, a period which saw beautiful and more modern
 cities patterned on Roman architecture. His improvements in instruction
 for boys expanded the educational system, helped maintain Roman
 culture, and continued a society in Western Europe, as well as created
 libraries (a carryover from Alexandrian Egypt of 323 b.c.
    Kievan Russia also enjoyed a period of rebirth some 200 years later

    Gelatin is a protein substance that comes from the skins and bones
 of animals. Most people know it as the substance used to make a
 jellylike salad or dessert. Not only is it useful in making these
 foods, but it is also beneficial to the consumer because of its high
 protein content. Gelatin is also commonly used in  the photographic
 industry and in making medicinal capsules.
    The process for producing gelatin is a long and complex one. In the
 processing of gelatin made from bones, which varies slightly from that
 of gelatin made from skin, the grease first must be eliminated. Then,
 the bones are soaked in a solution of hydrochloric acid in order to
 rid them of minerals and are washed several times in water. Next, the
 bones are placed in distilled water, heated to over 90 degrees F for a
 few hours, placed in fresh distilled water, and then heated again a
 little over 100 degrees F. A fluid forms from this heating, and it is
 concentrated, chilled, and sliced. Finally, it is dried and ground. In
 its final form, gelatin is white, tasteless, and odorless.
*
!-Y4
  37. What can we assume from this reading passage?
     (1) One could easily make gelatin at home.
     (2) It is necessary to add minerals to the gelatin.
     (3) Fat aids in making good gelatin.
     (4) Gelatin is useful for elderly and ill people because it is easy
         chew and high in protein.
*
!-Y2
  38. Which of the following is true?
    (1) Gelatin made from skin is produced in same way as that made
        from bones
    (2) grease probably  does not aid in producing gelatin.
    (3) The chemical used in making gelatin comes off the surface of
        the bones by rinsing with water.
    (4) When the gelatin is dried, it is in powder form.
*

  39. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
     (1) The Process of Making  Gelatin  (3) Uses for Bones
     (4) A Great Dessert                 (2) Protein Foods

    In recent  years,  scientific and technological developments have
 drastically changed human	life on our planet, as well as our views
 both of ourselves as individuals in society and of the universe as a
 whole. Maybe one of the most profound developments of the last decade
 is the discovery of recombinant DNA technology, which allows
 scientists to introduce genetic material (or genes) from one organism
 into another. In its simplest form, the technology requires the
 isolation of a piece of DNA, either directly from  the DNA of the
 organism under study, of artificially synthesized from an RNA
 template, by using a viral enzyme called reverse transcriptase. This
 piece of DNA is then ligated to a fragment of bacterial  DNA which has
 the capacity to replicate itself independently. The recombinant
 molecule thus produced can be introduced into the common intestinal
 bacterium Escherishchia coli, which can be grown in very large amounts
 in synthetic media. Under proper conditions, the foreign gene will not
 only replicate in the bacteria, but also express itself, through the
 process of transcription and translation, to give rise to large amounts
 of the specific protein coded by the foreign gene.
    The technology has already been successfully applied to the
 production of several therapeutically important biomolecules, such
 as insulin, interferon, and growth hormones. Many other	important
 applications are under detailed investigation in laboratories
 throughout the world.
*
!-Y3
  41. Recombinant DNA technology consists primarily of
     (1) producingn several therapeutically important biomolecules
     (2) giving rise to large amounts of proteinf protein
     (3) introducing genetic material from one organism into another
     (4) using a viral enzyme called reverse transcriptase
*
!-Y2
  42. Recombinant DNA technology has been used in the production of all
      of the following biomolecul except
      (1) growth hormones    (3) interferon
      (2) Escherishchia coli (4) insulin
*
!-Y1
  43. Which of the following is not true?
    (1) The foreign gene will replicate in the bacteria, but it will not
        express itself through transcription and translation.
    (2) The bacterium Escherischia coli can be grown in large amountse
        in synthetic media
    (3) Research continues in an effort to find other uses for this for
        technology.
    (4) Recombinant DNA technology is a recent development.
*
!-Y2
  44. Expression of a gene in Escherischia coli requires requires
   (1) the viral enzyme reverse transcriptase
   (2) the processes of transcription and translation
   (3) production of insulin and other biomolecules
   (4) that the bacteria be grown in a synthetic mediatic media
*
!-Y1
  45. The term recombinant is used because
    (1) by ligation, a recombinant molecule is produced, which has
        the capacity of replication
    (2) the technique requires the combination of several types of type
        technology
    (3) by ligation, a recombinant protein is produced, part of whose
        aminoacids come from each different organism
    (4) Escherischia coli is a recombinant organism

    Of the six outer planets, Mars, commonly called the Red Planet,is
 the closest to Earth. Mars, 4,200 miles in diameter and 55% of the
 size of Earth, is 34,600,000 miles from Earth, and 141,000,000 miles
 from the Sun. It takes this planet, along with its two  moons, Phobos
 and Deimos, 1.88 years to circle the Sun, compared to 365 days for
 the Earth.
    For many years, Mars had been thought of as the planet with the
 man-made canals, supposedly discovered by an Italian astronomer,
 Schiaparelli, in 1877.  With the United States spacecraft Viking I's
 landing on Mars in 1976, the man-made canal theory was proven to be
 only a myth.
    Viking I, after landing on the soil of Mars, performed many
 scientific experiments and took numerous pictures. The pictures showed
 that the red color of the planet is due to the reddish, rocky Martian
 soil. No biological life was found, though it had been	speculated
 by many scientists. The Viking also monitored many weather changes
 including violent dust storms. Some water vapor, polar ice and
 permafrost (frost below the surface) were found, indicating that at
 one time there were significant quantities of water on this distant
 planet. Evidence collected by the spacecraft shows some present
 volcanic action, though the volcanos are believed to be dormant,
 if not extinct.

    Italy enjoyed a highly developed and specialized civilization from
 about 264 b.c. until the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 a.d. Important
 contributions  were made in art, science, education, religion, and
 architecture. Remains of Roman aqueducts and amphitheaters can still
 be seen in various parts of Africa and Europe today. Probably the most
 lasting of the Roman heritage to the world can be found in laws based
 on Roman legal principles as found in England, Latin America, and the
 United States, as well as the Roman alphabet which forms the basis of
 many languages among which are English, Spanish, and German.
