Tiger Shark MealsTiger sharks, the fourthlargest type of shark on the planet, are known to

consume not only fish, turtles, and mammals such as seals but also an extremelywide variety of other sea creatures. Even manmade objects that end up in the sea,such as rubber tires and car license plates, are routinely on the menu for theselarge predators. ( 26 ), they seem to deserve their nickname, the “garbagecans of the sea.”

Ecologist Marcus Drymon of Mississippi State University recently discoveredthat the diet of tiger sharks ( 27 ). The animals are known to make meals ofseabirds, such as gulls or pelicans, so when a tiger shark that Drymon caughtduring a routine tracking program happened to vomit some feathers onto his boat,he was not particularly shocked. However, analysis revealed the feathers belongedto a socalled backyard bird. These are birds that live on land and are often seenin people’s gardens, such as sparrows and wrens. Analysis of the stomach contentsof more tiger sharks confirmed that backyard birds were in fact regularly meetingthis fate.

The cause of this phenomenon likely lies in the backyard birds’ habit ofmigrating. Migrating birds are often knocked into the sea by storms.Unaccustomed to the water, they are usually unable to return to the air once theirfeathers become soaked. This explains how the sharks ( 28 ). Drymonsuspects tiger sharks purposely give birth in areas that migrating birds fly over.The fallen animals provide an easy meal for the baby sharks, who are not yet ableto hunt prey that is more difficult to catch.

Home AdvantageHome advantage is a welldocumented phenomenon in certain sports, such as

baseball and soccer, where teams are statistically more likely to win when playingat home than when playing away games. One proposed explanation for this is the( 29 ). However, author David Runciman notes that if this were true, therewould have been a much bigger reduction in home advantage over the pastcentury than there has been, since luxuries such as firstclass flights, fancy hotels,and accompaniment by therapists for athletes playing away from home havebecome standard.

Another potential factor is players’ familiarity with their home field.Although sports fields do not differ significantly from one place to another,Runciman points out that being familiar with even minor aspects of one’ssurroundings can “enhance confidence in the performance of repetitive physicaltasks.” ( 30 ) when a team moves to a new home field. The team’s homeadvantage initially goes away, only to return once the athletes get used to theirnew surroundings.

The way sports venues are constructed also seems to affect home advantage.In an analysis of over 35,000 Major League baseball games, researchers RichardZeller and Tim Jurkovac reported that teams playing in a domed stadium at homewon 10.5 percent more games than when they were on the road. On the otherhand, teams playing in an openair stadium won 7.2 percent more games at home.The researchers noted that domed stadiums trap noise within the stadium and thatthe enthusiasm from fans in the crowd helps teams play better and win moregames.

CassinaWith its rich, dark color, caffeinated kick, and roasted aroma, cassina, a beverage

made from the leaves of a type of holly tree, could easily be mistaken for black tea.Cassina, however, does not come from China, where tea originated, but from the southerncoastal areas of North America. Native Americans began drying and roasting cassinaleaves over a thousand years ago, and trade in the “black drink,” as cassina was known,stretched across the continent before the arrival of European colonizers. The colonizers,too, adopted the beverage, drinking cassina daily in Florida and other southern colonies.

The potential for competition worried European importers of black tea, however,and they set out to use any means necessary to prevent this. Early European observershad reported seeing Native Americans drinking cassina during rituals that involved“purging” the consumption of substances that cause vomiting. Historians think thesubstance consumed in the rituals was likely cassina mixed with other herbs, or perhapsnot cassina at all, as cassina on its own does not make people throw up when consumedin typical quantities. Still, when first classifying the plant, scientists gave it the Latinname Ilex vomitoria , or “holly that causes vomiting.” Some historians suspect teacompanies encouraged scientists perhaps by means of a bribe to make the beveragesound particularly unappealing.

As a result, in the 1700s, when cassina was marketed in Europe as an alternative toexpensive black tea, tea importers quickly spread word of how the plant supposedlycaused vomiting. The campaign was successful, as cassina failed to gain popularity andwas largely forgotten. In recent years, however, chefs and consumers in the southernUnited States have rediscovered it as part of the growing movement to consumesustainable items obtained from local sources. An added attraction is that the plant isstrong and resistant to drought. Advocates are hoping cassina can overcome itsunfortunate scientific name and history to emerge as a popular alternative to tea andcoffee.

(32) According to the author of the passage, the drinking of cassina was1 begun by native populations who lived along the coasts of the southern partof North America.

2 popular in parts of Europe even before North America was colonized byEuropeans.

3 surprisingly widespread among Native Americans in spite of the plant’sChinese origins.

4 introduced to Native Americans by Europeans who sought to profit fromtrade in the beverage.

(33) What do we learn about the Latin name for cassina?1 The people responsible for classifying cassina may have benefited frommaking it sound unpleasant to drink.

2 Scientists who observed Native American ceremonies chose the name afterconfirming that cassina made people sick.

3 Cassina was initially classified as being related to black tea and thenrenamed because of opposition from tea importers.

4 The fact that Native Americans used cassina to treat stomach illnesses ledscientists to classify it as a medicine.

(34) According to the author of the passage, what is one reason that moderndayconsumers have a new interest in cassina?

1 Drinking cassina offers greater health benefits than consuming other kindsof caffeinated beverages.

2 Chefs often claim that it goes better with their dishes than beverages suchas tea and coffee do.

3 Increasing numbers of people want to consume products that are grown intheir local area.

4 As droughts have caused tea and coffee production to decline, cassinashould offer an affordable alternative.

The Hebridean Ark Tree ProjectOn the Outer Hebrides, a group of islands near the Scottish mainland, an ambitious

tree-planting project has started. Called the Hebridean Ark Tree Project, it aims to returnthe islands to their ancient state of thick forest cover. Getting trees to grow on the islandsis a challenge, however. The climate is harsh, with low average temperatures and strongwinds that spray the land with saltwater, which harms trees if it is absorbed through theirroots. In addition, much of the ground consists of peat, a nutrient-poor mixture of organicmaterials. Peat forms when low temperatures, water, and a lack of oxygen result inorganic matter, such as dead plants, failing to decay completely. Furthermore, animals,such as deer and sheep, will almost certainly feed on young trees. To deal with the peatproblem, instead of growing trees on top of the peat, the project will grow them on theedges. Keeping animals away is less straightforward, however, as fencing may beimpractical, and reducing their numbers would cause controversy.

Despite the various challenges, those involved in the project believe it can succeed.Evidence shows that forests on the islands grew well thousands of years ago. Althoughthe climate has cooled since then, it was primarily human activity that led to the currentsituation. Firstly, Viking invaders who arrived from nearby Scandinavia around AD 800cut down trees to make sure the native people could not use wood for boat building.After settling on the islands, the invaders cleared even more trees for raising animals andgrowing crops. After a battle on the island of Lewis in 1098, the Vikings introduced aslash-and-burn policy that severely damaged local tree populations. Once the forests onthe Outer Hebrides were gone, peat growth began to take over.

A major issue facing the project is selecting which trees to plant. The focus is onnative trees, such as aspen and birch, but the origin of the seeds is critical. Projectsupporter David Mackay recalls a previous reforestation plan on the Shetland Islands,where environmental conditions resemble those on the Outer Hebrides. That plan initiallyused young trees brought over from the Scottish mainland, but eventually, seeds and treesfrom the nearby Faroe Islands had to be introduced. Mackay notes that the geneticmakeup of trees from the mainland does not enable them to deal with harsh islandconditions. For the Hebridean Ark Tree Project, seeds are being taken from trees thatcurrently remain on the Outer Hebrides and grown into some 100,000 young tree saplingsbefore being transferred back to the islands.

(35) What is true of environmental conditions on the Outer Hebrides?1 Rising temperatures have made it difficult for plant and animal populationsto grow significantly.

2 The high salt content in the soil has destroyed large areas of peat deposits,preventing the growth of plants.

3 The failure of organic matter to decay fully has resulted in the groundlacking nutrients.

4 Strong winds blow trees down too quickly for them to develop in numberslarge enough for a forest to form.

(36) One of the main causes of tree loss on the Outer Hebrides in the past was that1 native people allowed their animals to eat young trees in an attempt tomake living conditions difficult for the Vikings.

2 the Vikings destroyed forested areas because they wanted to utilize the landfor agricultural purposes.

3 native people attempted to escape the Vikings by cutting down large areasof forest to build boats for themselves.

4 the Vikings’ heavy use of peat in certain activities led forested areas toeventually be taken over by peat growth.

(37) According to David Mackay, what should the Hebridean Ark Tree Project learnfrom previous efforts?

1 Only a few types of seeds should be planted on the Outer Hebrides, asmany species can damage the local environment.

2 Locals should lead the project, as experts from the mainland are notfamiliar with growing patterns on the Outer Hebrides.

3 Older trees should be used instead of young ones since they can betterwithstand the environmental threats on the Outer Hebrides.

4 The seeds of trees taken from the Outer Hebrides or from similarly harshenvironments are the most likely to grow successfully.

A Closer Look at Vitamin SupplementsIn 1970, American chemist Linus Pauling published the book Vitamin C and the

Common Cold , which promoted the idea of taking vitamin supplements to prevent andtreat disease. Pauling believed high doses of vitamin C could cure the common cold.Though scientific evidence to support his claim was entirely lacking, people believed itowing to the fact that he was widely respected as a scientist. Pauling had published overa thousand scientific papers and books about chemical bonds, molecular biology, and thestructure of proteins, and in 1954 he had been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Notsurprisingly, then, when he claimed that vitamin C could prevent and treat colds, peoplelistened, and vitamin C sales soared. Over time, his claim grew to include other vitaminsand supplements, and he even stated that large doses could cure everything from the fluto cancer and HIV.

Research had already found evidence linking diets high in fruits and vegetables withgreater longevity and lower rates of cancer, heart failure, and other age-related diseases. Itwas also known that fruits and vegetables are high in substances such as beta carotene,folic acid, and vitamins A, C, and E, which are called antioxidants. Antioxidants preventand repair cell damage caused by free radicals, which are formed naturally by the body aspart of its normal function but also come from external sources, such as environmentalpollution. When there are more free radicals than antioxidants in the body, an imbalancecalled oxidative stress occurs, which can lead to cancer and other diseases. Pauling hadthe idea that, since antioxidants can lessen the damage caused by free radicals, increasingantioxidant levels with supplements could prevent illness.

However, in the years since Pauling’s claim about vitamin C was published,numerous studies have shown that vitamin C cannot cure the common cold. In fact, moststudies evaluating similar supplements have not supported their use. Notably, studiesshowed that long-term smokers who took beta carotene and vitamin A or E supplementsactually had an increased likelihood of developing lung cancer or heart disease comparedwith those who did not. Vitamin E was found to increase the risk of heart failure, andmen who took multivitamins were more likely to develop prostate cancer. Thiscontradiction has been called the “antioxidant paradox.”

What could the reason for this paradox be? Although taking high doses of vitaminscan increase antioxidant levels, it must also be remembered that a low or moderate levelof free radicals serves a beneficial purpose in defending the body from illness. When thebody releases free radicals as part of its immune response, they target and destroybacteria, viruses, and damaged cells including cancerous and precancerous ones. Takinglarge doses of antioxidants may interrupt this natural defensive action and allow diseaseto grow stronger. This does not mean, however, that supplements are entirely withoutvalue. Vitamin supplements, for example, are effective in treating diseases associated withmalnutrition, such as scurvy, which results from people not getting enough vitamin C.However, our usage of supplements to address illnesses caused by bacteria and virusesclearly needs a closer look.

(38) What do we learn about Linus Pauling in the first paragraph?1 Although he was mistaken about the effect of vitamin C on colds, hisresearch led to treatments for other diseases.

2 His discovery about vitamins was only possible because he was familiarwith various branches of science.

3 His claim about vitamin C contradicted past conclusions he had made aboutchemical bonds and the structure of proteins.

4 The fame he had achieved as a scientist led people to accept his idea inspite of a lack of evidence to support it.

(39) What did Pauling believe about antioxidants?1 They could limit the harm done by free radicals made by the body, but theyhad little effect on free radicals that came from external sources.

2 Other researchers’ claims that they were made naturally by the body inquantities sufficient to improve health could not be proved.

3 Large amounts of them were needed to avoid the cell damage and diseasethat result from the presence of too many free radicals in the body.

4 Obtaining them from food sources such as fruits and vegetables couldactually have a negative effect on a person’s health.

(40) Research into antioxidants that has been done since Pauling’s time has shownthat

1 consuming them as supplements does not offer the illness-fighting benefitsclaimed by Pauling, and can even be harmful to one’s health.

2 consuming higher doses of them as supplements is more effective forpreventing disease than taking small doses.

3 the problem Pauling was attempting to solve with his research was notactually a real one.

4 smokers should consume beta carotene supplements along with vitamin Aand E supplements to reduce the risk of certain diseases.

(41) According to the author of the passage, how do free radicals function within thebody?

1 They can increase antioxidants’ effectiveness in improving the health ofpeople who are not receiving enough nutrition.

2 They are released after a person consumes certain vitamins to ensure thatthose vitamins go where they are needed in the body.

3 They play an important role in the immune system because they seek outand eliminate threats to healthy cells.

4 They are similar to viruses and bacteria in that they can actually be madestronger by the presence of antioxidants.
