Pediatric patients are in a risky group in ensuring
patient safety. Some common errors in the work in
pediatrics are weaknesses in planning, lack of
communication and education skills, and workload.
Medication errors containing wrong drug and dose are
common as well. Different doses the health care givers
apply should only be calculated in accordance with
body weight and surface area. The factor which
increases the potential for medication errors in children
is the implication of drug in different doses according to
the child's age, body weight and surface area.
Children’s weight, surface area and organ development
show differences. And this may affect the evacuation of
high dose from the body. Besides, young children
whose communication skills are limited are at more risk
because they cannot express how the drug’s side
effects bother them.
53. It is stated in the passage that weaknesses in
planning ----.
A) lead to higher doses of a drug applied by the
patient
B) increase the side effects of a drug on children
and adults
C) are caused by the limited communication
skills of young children
D) are only one of the most common errors in
pediatrics
E) are more serious than other medication errors
54. It is understood from the paragraph that ----.
A) it would be easier to identify the risks of a
drug in children if they were able to tell the
adverse effects
B) there is no need to change the dose of a drug
to be applied by doctors
C) discharge of high dose from the body is
dependent on the body weight only
D) every child has the same physical features
such as organ development and surface area
E) parents are blamed for the lack of
communication and education skills
55. According to the text, ----.
A) there are risks in other old patient groups as
well
B) different factors bring about the errors in
pediatrics
C) the characteristics of common medical errors
cannot be detected
D) stress and anxiety are the most important
factors causing medical errors

Pancreatic cancer is lethal and not easily detectable.
What is worse, there aren’t effective treatments for the
majority of patients, who often live less than a year after
being diagnosed. However, a new research in the U.S.
shows that regular use of aspirin lowers the risk for
pancreatic cancer by almost fifty percent. The 761
patients were interviewed as to their use of aspirin per
day or week and when they started or stopped.
Afterwards, they were matched with control group
patients. The participants defined as “ever-regular
users of aspirin” had a significantly lower risk for
pancreatic cancer. The analysis found that the risk for
pancreatic cancer decreased eight percent for each
cumulative year of aspirin use. It also found that
compared to continuing use, quitting aspirin within the
last two years was associated with more than double
the risk for pancreatic cancer. This suggests that during
the last two decades, as the population’s use of aspirin
has increased, the effect of aspirin in decreasing
pancreatic cancer risk has become more pronounced.
56. It is stated in the text that ----.
A) old people using aspirin regularly are less
open to pancreatic cancer
B) nearly all pancreatic cancer cases can be
totally cured when the treatment is supported
with aspirin
C) the majority of people who are diagnosed with
pancreatic cancer have little chance of
survival
D) seven hundred fifty people applied to hospital
and were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer
E) pancreatic cancer patients who use only
aspirin can extend their life span by about a
year
57. According to a new research ----.
A) aspirin can lead to adverse effects in
pancreatic cancer treatment
B) aspirin seems to decrease the likelihood of
pancreatic cancer
C) the study can be considered to have final
outcomes in terms of aspirin's effect on
pancreatic cancer
D) pancreatic cancer is such a severe type that
its treatment is merely possible with drugs like
aspirin
E) the conductors of the study urged the
participants to intensify their daily aspirin
intake
58. The text is mainly about ----.
A) the numerous benefits of aspirin on human
health
B) pancreatic cancer and the data regarding the
disease
C) the approximate number of people who
survived pancreatic cancer
D) the aspirin consumption of the people in the

A diet rich in milk products can reduce the likelihood of
osteoporotic fractures. An intake of dairy foods
corresponding to three or four glasses of milk a day has
been suggested to save at least 20% of healthcare
costs related to osteoporosis. However, it may also
have undesirable effects. Chronic exposure to
galactose is detrimental to health and prompts aging.
Even a low dose of galactose can shorten life span due
to oxidative stress damage, chronic inflammation,
neurodegeneration, decreased immune response, and
gene transcriptional changes. The high amount of
lactose and therefore galactose in milk makes the
recommendations to increase milk intake for prevention
of fractures a conceivable contradiction. Because of the
high content of lactose in milk, we hypothesized that
high consumption of milk may increase oxidative stress,
which in turn affects the risk of mortality and fracture.
59. It is stated in the passage that osteoporotic
fractures ----.
A) are more dangerous when combined with a
bone disease for women
B) can be prevented with a low dose of
galactose
C) can result from even average consumption of
milk
D) increase death rates are without milk
consumption
E) affect the risk of mortality according to
empirical evidence
60. It is clear from the passage that ----.
A) immune systems of all beings are highly
delicate
B) in order to avoid fractures, milk intake is the
only true solution
C) there is relationship between healthcare costs
and intake of dairy foods
D) cardiovascular diseases also occur when one
does not take sufficient calcium
E) chronic inflammation is more common than
neurodegeneration
61. The main purpose of the author is to ----.
A) show the benefits and drawbacks of calcium
intake
B) promote milk consumption of children
C) warn the reader about the costs of hospital
expenditures
D) calculate the average life span of all beings
by means of galactose intake
E) make readers aware of the possible risks of
consuming milk

Today, plastic surgery is mainly used for the correction
of undesired physical features of people’s faces or
bodies, not to mention its ability to better several health
conditions as well. Millions of people around the world
do not hesitate to pay tremendous amounts of money
for plastic surgeries. The emergence of this highly
popular treatment, however, was due to a much
different need. In World War I, the soldiers usually
suffered head and face wounds in the trenches –
wounds doctors had no idea how to treat – and many of
these soldiers were left unrecognizable after having a
severe wound. Although these soldiers survived the
fierce war and its harsh conditions, they faced the
problem of not being able to blend back into the society
and had to live an isolated life. The medical world’s
answer to this issue was making them a new, less
horrific face using the soldiers’ own tissues. So was
introduced the concept of plastic surgery which helps
people to overcome their physical deficiencies and, in
return, gain benefits not only psychologically but also
socially.
62. According to the passage, plastic surgery ----.
A) came into existence mainly due to physical
appearance needs
B) intended to prolong the life expectancy of
severely wounded soldiers

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of
depression that's related to changes in seasons. It
begins and ends at about the same times every year.
The specific cause of seasonal affective disorder
remains unknown. Yet, some factors that may come
into play are related to your biological clock, serotonin
and melatonin levels. It appears to be more common
among people who live far north or south of the
equator. This may be due to decreased sunlight during
the winter and longer days during the summer months.
If you're like most people with SAD, most probably your
symptoms will start in the fall and continue into the
winter months, sapping your energy and making you
feel moody. Symptoms may start out mild and become
more severe as the season progresses. In some people
with bipolar disorder, spring and summer can bring on
symptoms of mania or a less intense form of mania,
and fall and winter can be a time of depression. It's
normal to have some days when you feel down. But if
you feel down for days at a time and you can't get
motivated to do activities you normally enjoy, you had
better see your doctor.

early summer

If Canadian parents are going to get their kids to
exercise more, they need more than just public
awareness campaigns. Parents exposed to one such
national campaign were actually less confident they
could increase their children's activity levels, according
to a recent UBC study."With statistics outside this study
showing 88 per cent of parents believe their children
exercise enough and only seven per cent of kids meet
recommended guidelines, it is clear more needs to be
done," says Heather Gainforth, an assistant professor
of health and exercise sciences at UBC's Okanagan
campus. "While mass media campaigns appear to
increase awareness, parents need the support of public
policies and programs to help them successfully
encourage behaviour change. Without that support,
parents may not have the tools they need to help their
kids become more active.
