This finding surprised researchers who admitted they didn't expect that eating white meat would lead to higher blood cholesterol levels. In the study, researchers looked at 113 healthy people. The participant in three different diets. These were a red meat diet which is primarily beef, a white meat diet which is mostly chicken and turkey, and a vegetarian protein diet. Each diet period was four weeks. Between the diet periods, participants had a break during which they ate their regular foods. In addition, participants had blood tests at the start and finish of each new diet. The results showed that white and red meat diets had the same effects on blood cholesterol levels. Further, both diets increased blood cholesterol levels compared to the diet built on vegetarian protein sources. The team acknowledged that it is possible that white meat is better for our health than red meat,despite their findings. This is because other effects of red meat consumption could contribute to heart disease, independent of cholesterol. Their main recommendations are that people eat less of both kinds of meat. And more vegetarian protein.

NEWS 3 India launched its helicopter taxi service on Monday promising to ferry customers, the 40 miles between Bangalore's electronic city tech hub and the international airport terminal in 15 minutes.
Customers can book their helicopter ride through a mobile app. The service, which claims to be the first of its kind in India offers only one room. But Bangalore airport will add more once it gets approval. Helicopter taxi is not an affordable option for many travelers. A car ride for the same journey costs less than half as much. But Bangalore airport says it is a competitive alternative to a car ride for tech executives in a hurry. A large number of high class travelers, including CEOs have to spend more than three hours by road to get there. And that is a loss of time. A Bangalore airport spokesperson said this is not a low cost option, but it is an option. She added. The helicopters ferried around 8 customers to the airport on their first day. The company that owns and operates the service is called Loinbo Thumby aviation. It previously specialized in private charter flights for government officials.

W:Sorry, I don't know much about cheese. What type do you think would be suitable for a barbecue? M: That's easy. For a barbecue,you could have any cheese you want. I imagine there will be different foods and people will just help themselves and eat at their own pace, right? W:Yes, exactly. It will be very casual. We will just be a small group of friends gathering together at Washington park. There will be around 20 of us, including children. M:Great,so you could have different types of cheese. How much would you like to spend? W:Not very much. Let's say $30. M:I would suggest having at least one soft cheese and one hard cheese,that will offer you a good variety to suit different people's tastes. W:That sounds good. What's the difference between a soft cheese and a hard cheese? M:Well, but generally speaking, soft cheeses are creamy and go well with sweet things like honey and jam. I would suggest something like this Spanish goat cheese,it's only $15,a very good price. You can spread it on bread with a knife and then add a tiny bit of honey on top. It's delicious. Children love it. W: Okay, great. What about a hard cheese? M:Yes,for hard cheese, I would recommend this Italian one here. It has a very strong smell and a dry flavor. You can cut it into thin slices and eat it on its
own.It's $16. W:Okay, I'll take both. Thank you for your help. Q8: What does the woman plan to do for the weekend? Q9: What does the man suggest the woman do?

The initial expenditure will be high But much lower afterwards. Besides that tablet prices continue to drop and are becoming increasingly affordable.

printed textbooks. Think about it. Students are able to highlight and edit text, write notes and search for information much more quickly than they can with printed textbooks. And what about all those trees that are cut down to make printed books? W: Actually manufacturing tablets is environmentally destructive and dangerous to human health. The health impacts from making one electronic reader are 70 times greater than those from making a single printed book. A lot of minerals are extracted from the earth to make electronic reader.It does far more damage to the environment? M: Yes, but the software for electronic readers can be updated instantly without the need for buying a whole lot of new books.that's better for the environment, W: But the core curriculum doesn't change that much printed textbooks that are not brand new, still contain the basic relevant information of core subjects. M: Well, I'm looking forward to the change. I'll stick with my printed books. Q12: What does the woman say about using E textbooks? Q13: According to the man.

PASSAGE 1 In social psychology, the term “person perception” refers to the mental processes that we use to form impressions of other people. It includes not just how we form these impressions, but the conclusions we make about other people based our impressions. Consider how often you make this kind of judgment every day. When you meet with a new coworker, you immediately begin to develop an initial impression of this person. When you visit the grocery store, you might draw conclusions about the cashier who checks you out. Obviously, person perception is a very subjective process that can be affected by a number of variables, including the characteristics of the person you are observing, the context of your situation, your own personal traits and your past experiences. One of the techniques we use in person perception is social categorization. In this process, we mentally categorize people into different groups based on common characteristics. Problems with this technique include the fact that it can lead to errors and prejudice. Imagine that you are getting on a bus. There are only two seats available. One is next to a small elderly woman. The other is next to a muscular, fierce looking man. You sit next to the elderly woman who unfortunately turns out to be quite skilled at picking pockets. Because of social categorization, you immediately judge the woman as harmless, and
the man as threatening, leading to the loss of your wallet. Q16: What does the passage say we tend to do every day? Q17: What do we learn about person perception from this passage? Q18: What is the problem with using social categorization in person perception? PASSAGE 2 Young people today are as socially competent as those from the previous generation. At least this is what a new study suggests.For the study,researchers compared teacher and parent evaluations of American children who started kindergarten in 1998, with those who began school in 2010. The former group entered kindergarten when mobile phones were luxuries . The latter group started school when mobile devices were widespread.Results showed both groups of children were rated similarly on important social skills. These included the ability to form and maintain friendships and get along with people who were different. They were also rated similarly on self-control such as the ability to regulate their temper. In virtually,every comparison made ratings of social skills either remaining constant or improved for the children born later. There was one exception. Social skills were slightly lower for children who accessed online games and social networking sites many times a day. Adults are worried when technological change starts to undermine traditional relationships, particularly the parent-child relationship. The introduction of telephones,automobiles and
