How many Writers Guild of America screenplay winners have gone on to Oscar glory in the last 12 years? Questions 73 to 78 are based on the following passage: The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always es as a severe shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances, most people still have an irrational fear of hospitals and anesthetics. In the early years of last century there was little specialization in surgery. A good surgeon was capable of performing almost every operation that had been devised up to that time. Today the situation is different. Operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of fifty years ago. The heart can be safely opened and its valves repaired. Clogged blood vessels can be cleaned out, and broken ones mended or replaced. A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live a fortable and satisfactory life. The scope of surgery has increased remarkably in 20th century. Its safety has increased too. Deaths from most operations are about 20% of what they were in 1910 and surgery has been extended in many directions, for example to certain types of birth defects in newborn babies, and, at the other end of the scale, to lifesaving operations for the octogenarian. The hospital stay after surgery has been shortened to as little as a week for most major operations. Many developments in modern surgery are almost incredible. They include the replacement of damaged blood vessels with simulated ones made of plastic。 a part C. plains。 might have taken B. for that。 the replacement of heart valves with plastic substitutes。 many B. reiterates。 should have found C. in that。 the transplanting of tissues such as the lens of the eye. One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of an transplants. Until a few years ago, no person, except an identical twin, was able to accept into his body the tissues of another person without reacting against them and eventually causing death. Recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use of xrays and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from one person to another which will survive for periods of a year or more. Kidneys have been successfully transplanted between nonidentical twins. Heart and lung transplants have been reasonably successful in animals, though rejection problems in humans have yet to be solved. “ Spare parts” surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn out ans by new ones, is still a dream of the distant future. As yet, surgery is not ready for such miracles. In the meantime, you can be happy if your doctor says to you, “Yes, I think it is possible to operate on you for this condition.” Questions: 73. Most people are afraid of being operated on in spite of________. patient can still live a fortable and satisfactory life even after the removal of________. 75. Today deaths from most operations are about ________of what they were in 1910. 76. What’s the main difficulty in an transplanting? 77. Is “spare parts” su rgery possible now? 78. You can be happy if your surgeon can operate because it means________. Questions 79 to 84 are based on the following passage: Sales of antiageing skin treatments have reached a new high as British women try to stay younger longer (writes Joanna Bale). But according to a recent survey of those aged between 35 and 55 there are significant regional variations in annual spend on these cosmetics. While the average woman thinks costs of ￡ 200 a year acceptable— almost treble the ￡ 75 of three years ago— some fork out ￡ 500, according to the survey of over 2,000 women nationwide by the beauty pany Olay. Brows will wrinkle at the differences in yearly spend on antiageing treatments across major cities: the ladies of Edinburgh spent least, just ￡ 50 a year, while those in Leeds spend most, at a staggering ￡ 500. London women most commonly spend ￡ 200 annually, and those in Manchester give themselves a modest yearly budget of ￡ 100. Equally surprising are the results among 40somethings. Single women spend the least on indulging their desire for facial rejuvenation, with only 25 per cent forking out on skincare products or treatments. This figure rises to just over 31 per cent of married women and a similar figure for those who are unmarried with partners. By far the biggest spenders are the 50 per cent of divorcees who feel the pressure to invest heavily in their facial futures. The survey highlighted two groups who spend significant sums on enhancing their appearances— “Sindies” (single ine now divorced), and women in their 40s who use their looks to get ahead. The survey also found that although women wanted to “ deage” they had a holistic view of beauty and embraced a realistic and natural approach to looking good. Questions: 79.
