These can be quite painful and will often result in inccessant crying. Ear infections are caused when bacteriums or viruses get into the inside of the ear. The Eustachian tubes, which supply the ear with air, become swollen or inflaming. The adenoids, cell clusters near these tubes that fight infections, can also become infected and the block tubes. Children\u2019s Eustachian tubes are smaller but straighter, and their adenoids are large. This means that the tubes do not drain as well, that often results in the adenoids impeding flow through the tubes. <\/span><\/p> 36. <\/span><\/p><\/td> 37. <\/span><\/p><\/td> 38. <\/span><\/p><\/td> 39. <\/span><\/p><\/td> 40.<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div> Part 4: Read the text below.

Added to this is the fact that they come in a huge variety of shapes, sizes and forms, so many gardeners, myself included, find themselves <\/span>(42) <\/span>___________________ drawn to these extraordinary plants. <\/span><\/p> You do not have to be an expert to grow cacti, and the <\/span>(43) <\/span>_________________ needn’t be concerned about cultivating them because they are among the easiest of plants to care for.

READING: (50 points) <\/span><\/p> Part 1. Read the following passage and decide which answer (A, B, C or D) best fits each gap. DIAGNOSING DYSLEXIA <\/span><\/p> Approximately five per cent of the population (0) __ suffer__ from dyslexia. The cause of the disorder is unknown and it is (46) ________ found in people of otherwise normal intectual ability. The condition is (47) ________ by severe reading difficulties, with dyslexics frequently confusing letters or words. They may, for example, read or write letters, words or sentences in the wrong (48) ________. Although the problem can be overcome with intensive instruction, sufferers usually continue to read and write poorly throughout their lives. <\/span><\/p> Traditionally, diagnosis has been made by reading experts, which means that many (49) ________ are not formally (50) ________ until a child is around ten years of age. Now, however, a group of psychologists in the United States believe that they have found a way of identifying in their first days of life children who will develop dyslexia. This is exciting news as early identification and (51) ________ make early instruction possible, perhaps avoiding later problems altogether. <\/span><\/p> The research team has identified (52) ________ differences between the brain (53) ________ patterns of dyslexics and those of better readers. Attaching electrodes to the heads of babies just 36 hours old , they measured the size and speed of their brain responses to selected stimuli. The children were (54) ________ and given IQ and <\/span><\/p> 3<\/span><\/p> comprehension tests every two years. At eight, reading tests were administered to identify those who were dyslexic. More than 90 percent diagnosed as dyslexic could have been singled out at birth. This research is still in its (55) ________ but may result in a future in which dyslexia no longer causes life long distress. <\/span><\/p>
