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 questions from 43 to 50.

         Carbon dating can be used to estimate the age of any organic natural material; it has been used successfully in archeology to determine the age of ancient artifacts or fossils as well as in a variety of other fields. The principle underlying the use of carbon dating is that carbon is a part of all living things on Earth. Since a radioactive substance such as carbon-14 has a known half-life, the amount of carbon-14 remaining in an object can be used to date that object.

        Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,570 years, which means that after that number of years, half of the carbon- 14 atoms have decayed into nitrogen-14. It is the ratio of carbon-14 in that substance that indicates the age of the substance. If, for example, in a particular sample the amount of carbon-14 is roughly equivalent to the amount of nitrogen-14, this indicates that around half of the carbon-14 has decayed into nitrogen-14, and the sample is approximately 5,570 years old.

        Carbon dating cannot be used effectively in dating objects that are older than 80,000 years. When objects are that old, much of the carbon-14 has already decayed into nitrogen-14, and the miniscule amount that is left doesn’t provide a reliable measurement of age. In the case of older objects, other age-dating methods are available, methods which use radioactive atoms with longer half-lives than carbon has.

It is implied in the passage that .

A. carbon dating has no known uses outside of archeology

B. fossils cannot be age-dated using carbon-14

C. carbon dating could not be used on an item containing nitrogen

D. carbon-14 does not have the longest known half-life

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY

        A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something that cannot be changed, but actually there is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.

 We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore US. This no doubt explains

the reason (31)______schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle (32)________dates

from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on it (33)______.One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions — the more the better!

      Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)_______and

sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reducesstress, which is very bad for the memory.

      The old saying that —eating fish makes you brainyl may be true after all. Scientists have discovered

that the fats (35)_______in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon — as well as in olive oil - help to improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good - brain food, too.
