READING
PART 1: MULTIPLE CHOICE
Read the following text and questions below. For each question, mark the
correct letter A, B , C or D on your answer sheet.

Unlocking the mind and body

Significant advances were made in the past year towards restoring movement to
paralysed patients. Jan Scheuermann, who is 53 and paralysed from the neck
down, was able to deftly control a robotic arm with the aid of two sensors
implanted inside her brain. Tiny needles on each chip picked up the electrical
activity from about 200 individual brain cells. This was converted into
instructions to control the arm. Another patient, Cathy Hutchinson, had a
similar procedure.
There is a dream of using electronics to reconnect the brain to paralysed limbs
in order to help them function again and even to give prosthetics a sense of
touch. Paralysed rats were able to walk again after their spinal cords were
bathed in chemicals and zapped with electricity. And scientists reversed
paralysis in dogs after injecting them with cells grown from the lining of their
nose.
And a purely biological solution was found for one a paralysed man in the US.
He was able to regain limited use of his hand after pioneering surgery to rewire
his nerves and bypass damage to his spinal cord. Meanwhile, monitoring brain
activity allowed a Canadian man, who was believed to have been in a vegetative
state for more than a decade, to tell doctors he was not in any pain.
It's the first time an uncommunicative, severely brain-injured patient has been
able to give answers clinically relevant to their care.

Further Education
Further education (often abbreviated FE; called continuing
education in U.S. English) is a term mainly used in connection
with education in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is postcompulsory education (in addition (0) that received
at secondary school) that is distinct from the education
offered in universities (higher education).
Around the age (1) . sixteen you must make one of the biggest decisions of your life. Do
I take out on at school and hopefully go on to a university (2) ? Do I leave and start
work or begin a training (3) ? It is important to know that the largest group of people in
further education are those aged between 16 and 19, but many other people undertake fulltime or part-time further education. The decision is yours, but it may be (4)
. remembering two things: theres more unemployment (5) people who
havent been to university, and people who have the (6) .. will have a big advantage in the
competition

for

jobs.

If you decide to go (7) .. into a job, there are many opportunities for training. Getting
qualifications will (8) . you to get on more quickly in many careers, and evening classes
allow you to learn (9) . you earn. A wide variety of subjects with hands-on practical
experience can be offered, so getting the qualifications you need to get into work or a university
could be ones ultimate goal in life. There is no doubt that standards of service to learners have

practical work experience. In summary, further education (12) is a very large and
sophisticated; it is capable of thriving with as much autonomy (13) is granted to
learning schools and universities. In short, it has grown into its current form as a response to
demand and there seems little point in trying drastically (14) change it to fit some ideal
model: its diversity is often a strength.
