Marvin,
I am attaching the latest schedule from the Computer Training Center. As we have
discussed in person, your computer skills are not quite up to normal and you would
benefit from taking one of these courses. We also discussed the fact your first-year
employee probationary status is still in effect and that you are required to take
some training courses during this time. Please sign up for one of these courses as
soon as possible. I would encourage you to choose a beginning word processing
class, as your skills in that area are whole fully lacking. You have a good knowledge
of database software, though you could benefit from an advanced-level class if that
is what interests you most. The choice, of course, is up to you, but I recommend
word processing. In choosing your class schedule, please remember that you must
be present at our weekly staff meetings (Wednesday afternoon at 2:00). As soon as
you have decided on a course and schedule, please contact Elizabeth Mortimer in
the Human Resources Department and she will take care of the registration process
for you. We at NZ, Inc. will, of course, take care of all the fees. All you have to do is
attend the classes. Please e-mail me as soon as you are registered for a course.

In sports, as in life there are those who bend rules. and those who cheat. They've
always excited. And because of human frailties and pressure from sponsors,
countries, coaches and athletes themselves for medals and trophies, they always
will. But bending rules and spitting on them is not the same thing.
Olympic ideals of fair play, sportsmanship and all of that are just that an ideal.
But the reality of the Olympic Games is that success is measured in gold, silver and
bronze.
Be good sportsman if you can but, above all, win and we will give you a shiny
medal. And because these are Olympic medals, they will bring fame and perhaps
fortune, too. Winning medals changes lives. Being good sports alone rarely do. Sad,
perhaps, but true.
Between the Olympics ideal and the Olympics reality is a trap that eight badminton
players fell into at London 2012.
They didn't cheat. Instead, they tried to win by deliberately trying to lose. They
bent the rules to breaking point. But they didn't trample on them like doped sprinter
Ben Johnson at the 1988 Seoul Olympics or Fred Lorz in 1904, the New Yorker who
hitched a ride by car for much of the Olympics marathon and then ran over the
finish line in first place. It's not like a boxer taking a dive or a soccer player scoring
in his own goal to get a fat envelope from syndicate. Those are cheats, dammed
cheats. The women badminton players from China, South Korea and Indonesia are
not.

NEW YORK: Half of all heart patients made at least one medication-related mistake
after leaving the hospital, and guidance from a pharmacist didn't seem to reduce
those errors, in a new study.
Consequences of mistakes such as forgetting to take certain drugs or taking the
wrong dose can range from side effects like constipation to more serious drops in
blood pressure. Two percents of errors were life-threatening.
Not all of the problems, however, were the fault of the patients. Some may have
resulted from medication side effects or other factors beyond the patients' control.
Hospitals involved in the study were already taking steps to prevent medication
mistakes in addition to the extra pharmacist intervention, said Dr. Sunil Kripalani,
the study's lead author from the Vanderbilt University Medical Centre in Nashville,
Tennessee.
"We were surprised to see that in spite of these efforts, that 50 percent (of patients)
were still having these medication errors," he told Reuters health.
Although the pharmacist visits didn't help the average patient, he added, certain
ones seemed to benefit such as patients who were on multiple drugs or had
trouble understanding health information.

Steven Paul Jobs, popularly known as Steve Jobs, was born on February 24, 1955, to
Joanne Simpson and Abdulfattah "John" Jandali, two University of Wisconsin
graduate students who gave their unnamed son up for adoption. His father,
Abdulfattah Jandali, was a Syrian political science professor and his mother, Joanne
Simpson, worked as a speech therapist. Shortly after Steve was placed for adoption,
his biological parents married and had another child, Mona Simpson. It was not until
Jobs was 27 that he was able to uncover information on his biological parents.
As an infant, Steven was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs and named Steven Paul
Jobs. Clara worked as an accountant and Paul was a Coast Guard veteran and
machinist. The family lived in Mountain View within California's Silicon Valley. As a
boy, Jobs and his father would work on electronics in the family garage. Paul would
show his son how to take apart and reconstruct electronics, a hobby which instilled
confidence, tenacity, and mechanical prowess in young Jobs.
After he erupted in high school, Jobs spent his free time at Hewlett-Packard. It was
there that he befriended computer club teacher Steve Wozniak. Wozniak was a
brilliant computer engineer, and the two developed great respect for one another.
In 1976, when Jobs was just 21, he and Wozniak started Apple Computers. The duo
started in the Jobs family garage, and funded their entrepreneurial venture after
Jobs sold his Volkswagen bus and Wozniak sold his beloved scientific calculator.
27. What did Jobs and Wozniak do to get financial support to run Apple Computers?
A. They staged a fun rising at Hawlet-Packard. he and Wozniak started Apple
Computers. The duo started in the Jobs family garage

Brain cancer might be categorized as the worst and the deadliest disease.
Approximattely 17.000 people in the United States are diagnozed with primary
cancer each year and nearly 13.000 die of the disease.
The brain is made up of individual cells. These cells are the smallest units which
compose the brain. A brain cancer can arise from any of the cells, which make up
the brain. Brain cancer starts in just one cell. As the cell makes more and more
copies of itself, it grows to form a tumor. Amalignant tumor has a capacity to
spread, and is then called "brain cancer"
"Primary brain cancer" starts within the brain, and is the main subject of the
transcript. In contrast, "secondary brain cancer " starts in some other organs (like
lung or breast) and then spread to the brain. This is called "brain metafisis"
There are several things that have been found to increase the risk of developing
brain cancer. Having rare family disease (such as neurofibromatosis, Von-Hippel
Lindau), exposure to radiation, and exposure to certain chemicals (like pvc) have
been connected to developing brain cancer. The risk is greater if the person is
exposed to at a young age to a higher dose.

A. treated (memperlakukan)
B. spreaded (tersingkap)
C. exposed (tersingkap)

Faster planes and cheaper flights are making it easier than ever before for people to
travel. In the most 'developed' societies, visiting exotic places is a sought-after
status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing countries
have recognised this fact and are learning to take advantage of it.
There are, however, some problems associated with this new industry. Firstly, there
is the increasing crime rate. Some locals see tourists as an easy prey because, not
only are they in unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to take care of
themselves, but also they carry visible items of wealth, such as cameras and
jewelery which can be disposed of quickly for profit.
Another major problem is health. With greater mobility comes greater danger of
spreading contagious diseases around the world. One carrier returning home could
easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the
emergence of many diseases which resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be
increasingly concerned about this issue.
Also to be considered is the natural environment, which can be seriously threatened
by too many visitors. Australia's Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of
being destroyed by tourists and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the
more delicate coral cays
These are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of committing
itself to an extensive tourism development program.
33. Why does the natural environment become one of the serious problem
associated with the faster planes and cheaper flight? Because ....
A. it easily started an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed
B. it can be destroyed by too many visitors

Many proponents of vegetarianism say that eating meat harms health, wastes
resources, causes deforestation, and created pollution. They often argue that killing
animals for food is cruel and unethical since non-animal food sources are plentiful.
Humans evolved to be primarily vegetarian. Humans do not have the large mouth
or long, pointed teeth of carnivores. Human teeth are short and flat for chewing
fibrous food. The liver of a carnivore can detoxify the excess vitamin A absorbed
from a meat-based diet. The human liVer cannot excess vitamin A.
It is unnecessary to take an animal's life when vegetarian options are available. In
the US about 35 million cows, 115 million pigs, and 9 billion birds are killed for food
each year. These animals should not have to die to satisfy an unnecessary dietary
preference.
On the other hand, many opponents of a vegetarian diet say that moderate meat
consumption is healthful, humane, and that producing vegetables causes many of
the same environmental problems as producing meat.
Eating meat is not cruel or unethical. Every organism on earth dies, at some points,
so others can live. There is nothing wrong with this cycle; it is how nature works.
Humans have been eating meat in the ancestral diet provided a dense form of
nutrients and protein that, when combined with high-calorie low-nutrient
carbohydrates such as roots, allowed us to develop our large brains and
intelligence.
Meat is the most convenient protein sources since it provides all 10 essential
proteins (amino acids), as well as essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, and the B
vitamins, in one serving. Most individual plant foods do not provide adequate levels
of all 100 essential proteins in a single serving.
In my opinion, meat eaters don't need to feel guilty. Everything we consume,
including vegetables or meat, has environmental, ethical, and health consequences.

The respiratory system, in anatomy and physiology, are organs that deliver oxygen
to the circulatory system to be transported to all body cells. The respiratory and
circulatory system work together to deliver oxygen to cells and remove carbon
dioxide in a two-phase process called respiration.
The first phase of respiration begins with breathing in, or inhalation. Inhalation
brings air from outside the body into the lungs. Oxygen in the air moves from the
lungs through blood vessels to the heart, which pumps the oxygen-rich blood to all
the body. Oxygen then moves from the bloodstream into cells, which completes the
first phase of respiration. In the cells, oxygen is used in a separate energy-producing
process called cellular respiration, which produces carbon dioxide as a by product.
The second phase of respiration begins with the movement of carbon dioxide from
the cells to the bloodstream. The bloodstream carries carbon dioxide to the heart,
which pumps the carbon dioxide-laden blood to the lungs. In the lungs, breathing
out, or exhalation, removes carbon dioxide from the body, thus completing the
respiration cycle.
42. How does a complete respiration cycle work?
A. It delivers oxygen to the cells and removes carbon dioxide from the
cells.
B. It works apart from respiratory and circulatory system.
C. It removes carbon dioxide from the human body.
