Researchers have succeeded in keeping human embryos alive for 13 days in the lab. This feat has
been hailed as a milestone and opened a new window on human biology.
26 , it brought scientists
into conflict with an age-old prohibition stating that human embryos cannot be grown in labs for more
than 14 days. The limit was
27 in the 1980s. The 14th day signifies a new stage in which an embryo
forms distinct layers that later grow into different organs. It is also around the point at which an embryo
can split into identical twins. In other words, a unique individual
28 after 14 days.
The regulation had never concerned scientists before, but now with the advances in technology,
scientists are wondering whether the limit should be extended. Some contend that the more human
embryos are studied, 29 scientists can understand human development. However, opponents argue
that growing and examining embryos are no different from experimenting on human children. They
disapprove of the whole idea of lab-grown embryos, 30 extending the 14-day limit. As the debate
plays out and the technology is in place, the time for a discussion is at hand.

A blood transfusion is a common procedure in which blood is given to someone through an
intravenous line in one of the blood vessels. It 31 replace the blood lost during surgery or due to a
serious injury. A transfusion may also be done if one's body can't make blood properly, which allows the
body to continue functioning normally and repair itself.
The first successful recorded blood transfusion was made in 1665, 32 by a British physician
named Richard Lower. He revived a dying dog by transfusing blood from another canine via a tied artery.
Despite the success, the mechanism behind it was not well understood. Two years later, Lower gave
sheep’s blood to a man who was mentally ill since the very idea 33 lamb blood could calm an
agitated person was commonly accepted. Regrettably, the man died after experiencing a fatal immune
response to new blood.
The giant leap in this area of medical science came in 1901, when Austrian researcher Karl
Landsteiner and his associates discovered the blood types A, B, O, and AB. Landsteiner also identified the
Rh-positive and Rh-negative types. His findings explained why people suffer allergic reactions
34
the wrong type of blood and helped doctors know what type of blood individual patients required. 35
was his gigantic contribution that Landsteiner was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in
1930. Today, countries around the world observe the World Blood Donor Day every June 14th, also the
birthday of Landsteiner. It is a day to commemorate the medical breakthrough.

When we see someone, the easiest way to recognize them is by their face – but not everyone can do
this. It's thought that one in 50 people may have prosopagnosia, or face blindness. Prosopagnosia is a
neurological disorder that makes the part of the brain responsible for face recognition 36 function.
People with prosopagnosia may have trouble identifying partners, family members, friends or even
their own reflection in the mirror. Interestingly, they usually find 37 ways to make out others. For
example, they may wait for people to initiate the conversation

summer of 2013, IKEA published an AR catalogue.
With its armored shell and peculiar manner, the pangolin looks more like a medieval warrior ready
for battle than an animal under grave threat. Yet very few people know that this scaly animal holds the
undesirable title of being the most-poached and illegally
41
animal in the world. Over the last decade,
more than one million pangolins have been killed. So what exactly are pangolins?
Pangolins are mammals covered in protective overlapping scales made of Keratin, the same protein
that
42
human hair and fingernails. Pangolins are solitary and nocturnal, spending a
43
of
their lives without others of their species and mostly being active at night. So far, very little research has
been
44
to explore their daily lives.
There are eight species of pangolins, primarily found in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. They feed on
ants and termites. Though often
45
scale-covered anteaters, they are not part of the anteater family.
In fact, pangolins have no relatives on the planet. The name “pangolin” comes from the Malay word
“pengguling,” meaning “curling up,” in reference to its defense mechanism of rolling into a ball when
threatened. Unfortunately, this
46
makes pangolins easily fall victim to human hunters.
52
They thereby get a sense of the size and color
actual items.
Another practical utilization of AR is in navigation.
53
In addition to navigating your way
through the city, your AR app projects traffic information or other points of interest nearby onto the glass
window at the front of the car. This is believed to be able to effectively lower car accidents since drivers
can keep their eyes focused forward. The AR technology is full of infinite potential.
54 Though there
are still questions concerning the way it functions in the real world, it won’t be too long before AR
becomes an indispensable part of our daily life.
(A)
It enabled shoppers to visualize what certain pieces of furniture look like inside their homes.
(B)
AR is different from virtual reality (VR), which creates a whole new unreal world.
(C)
As you see through the phone’s camera lens, this very cartoon figure stands right in front of you.
(D) No wonder more and more devices and apps are being created to jump on the bandwagon.
(E)
Suppose you are driving around an unfamiliar city with a real-life Google Map on your windshield.
The pangolin population is fast declining. Aside from the fact that they only have one offspring per
year, illegal poaching and trading are the main culprit. Pangolins are hunted for
47
purposes
because their scales are taken as an invaluable ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine and their meat
is eaten as a high-end cuisine. It is estimated that the unlawful dealings of pangolins

for up to 20
percent of the entire wildlife black market sales.
In response to the desperate
49 of pangolins, several campaigns have been waged to raise public
concerns, such as the SavePangolins organization or a funny app named Roll with the Pangolins.
Conservationists are also taking action to educate the public about pangolins while lobbying governments
to take a(n)
50
attitude toward smuggling. Hopefully, these efforts could prevent this rare species
from being wiped off the face of the earth.
