Question 3: (True or False) Comprehension: Use the information in the passage to answer the questions below.

The Third Line of Defense: The Immune System

Some kinds of white blood cells make special chemicals called antibodies. Antibodies help in the

destruction of microorganisms and other foreign substances. Your body is capable of producing antibodies for

just about every kind of germ or foreign substance that exists on earth.

The production of antibodies is a relatively quick process. A few days after an invader has entered the

body, a large number of antibodies can usually be found in the blood. This process of antibody production is a

function of the immune system, the body's third line of defense.

Soon after a disease is successfully stopped, the level of the antibody that fought against it drops. For

example, a person who has recovered from chickenpox will have only a small amount of chickenpox antibody left

in his or her bloodstream. But a few of the white blood cells that made the chickenpox antibody remain in the

bloodstream to fight the chickenpox virus if it returns. These white blood cells "remember" how to make the

antibody for chickenpox. If the virus that causes chickenpox enters the body again, these cells will make a lot of

new antibodies in a very short time. They will eliminate the virus before it can do any damage and before you

become ill. That is why a person usually gets diseases like measles, mumps, whooping cough, scarlet fever, and

chickenpox only once. This resistance to diseases is called acquired immunity. Acquired immunity to some

diseases lasts a lifetime.

A VETO ON VIDEO GAMES:

Our society is so computerized and dehumanized that kids don’t need one more reason to avoid

playing outside or going for a walk or talking with a friend. I'd still feel this way even if there were nothing

wrong with games whose objectives are to kill and destroy.

I know, I know. There are games other than those like Rampage, Robocop, Motor Cross

Maniacs, Bionic Commando, Dr. Doom's Revenge, Guerrilla War, and Super Street Fighter. But aren’t the

violent games the one the kids love to play for hours? And hours. And hours. My son told me he likes the

"killing games" the best, hasn’t had much experience with "sport games," and likes "learning games" the

least because they are "too easy". (Manufacturers take note.) My five-year-old daughter told me she

enjoyed playing Duck Hunt at a friend's house. The beauty of this game is that even very young players

can have the fun of vicariously shooting animals. And then there's the game with my favourite title-an

obvious attempt to combine a graceful sport with exciting action-Skate or Die.

Your child has leukaemia. The most devastating news a parent could hear. It used to mean there

is a little chance of survival. Now 80 % of kids not only survive – but lead normal lives. How? New

breakthrough medicines discovered and developed by pharmaceutical company researchers have

given many leukaemia patients and their parents a second chance. The new medicines our

researchers are discovering are giving families hope and patients a chance to be kids again.

A giant face looms on a billboard, smiling and suggesting that a particular brand of bread will make you happy too. The scent of a flowery perfume drifts up as you open the magazine. Colorful signs on taxis and buses tell you to eat at certain restaurants. Print advertisements are everywhere. These ads combine words, images and sometimes even smell to convince people to buy or support a product or service. Print ads persuade people by appealing to their wants and needs. They often interest readers by using clever slogans and attractive images.

Wait until you grow up you can do that when you are an adult . sometime it must seem if you are very little or have no say in the issues that effect your life. This can be very frustrating at times too especially when you have your own opinion . there is a way through which you can express your own opinion by persuasion. It is a type of communication that offers an opinion and supports it with reasons and evedences. Some persuasive communications even allow the readers or listeners to take specific action.

My wife and I are kind of mean parents whom kids grumble about on the play ground. We are among the ever shrinking group of parents known as video game hold outs. We refuse to buy a video game set. Around Christmas time my son made a wish list and I noticed that Nintendo was no.1 I said you know you are not going to get Nintendo he said “ I know I’m not going to get it from you, but I might get it from him, Alas , Santa , too let him down. I don’t think that playing a video game now and then is really harmful to children. But the children I know are so obsessed with the games that they prompted at least one 2nd grade teacher to ban the word Nintendo from the classroom.

Making a Formal Argument – An Apple a Day

Directions: Argue for or against the statement below using a formal argument. In a formal argument, you

must

1) State your position.

2) Provide point(s) that support your position.

3) Support each point with specific reasons/examples.

Statement:

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Example Answer: I agree with the statement above; eating piece of fruit each day is the most

important step we can take toward good health. The vitamins in a piece of fruit can stave off the common

cold and improve your eyesight. The fructose in a piece of fruit can increase alertness and provide enzymes

that aid digestion. On the other hand, an apple, no matter how nutritious, cannot keep you from falling down

and breaking a bone.

So it doesn’t actually keep the doctor away, but it makes the doctor visits less frequent.
