Each one is followed by a number of questions about each passage. Read each passage and answer the questions based on what is stated or implied in the passage by choosing the best answer, A, B, C, D, or E to each question. You should answer ALL questions. Passage 1 — Questions 31-37 Cancer All cancers begin in cells. Our bodies are made up of more than a hundred million million cells. Cancer starts with changes in one cell or a small group of cells, Usually we have just the right number of each type of cell. This is because cells produce signals to control how much and how often the cells divide. If any of these signals are faulty or missing, cells may start to grow and multiply too much and form a hump called a tumour, Where the cancer starts is called the primary tumour. ca Some types of cancer, called leukemia, start from blood cells. They don't form solid tumours. Instead, the cancer cells build up in the blood and sometimes the bone marrow, For a cancer to start, certain changes take place within the genes of a cell or a group of cells. Different types of cells in the body do different jobs, but they are basically similar. They all have a control centre called a nucleus. Inside the nucleus are chromosomes made up of long strings of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA contains thousands of genes, which are coded messages that tell the cell how to behave, Each gene is an instruction that tells the cell to 6 Dari 12 Soal Seleksi Mandiri Tahun 2015 — BAHASA INGGRISmake something. This could be a protein, or a different type of molecule called RNA. ‘Together, proteins and RNA control the cell. They decide what sort of cell it will be, what it does, when it will divide, and when it will die. (Modified from uip://www.cancerresearchuk org!) 31.

There has been a lot of talk about selfies in the media. In fact, the word selfie was recently added to Oxford’s online dictionary, But psychologists know surprisingly little about the effects of selfies or about the people who post them. Are people who post selfies on social media sites narcissistic and psychopathic, or self-objectifying, ot both? To examine the association between selfies and personality, Fox and Rooney used data from a nationally representative sample of 1,000 men between 18 and 40 years old. Participants completed personality questionnaires assessing the dark triad and seif-objectification, They were asked how many selfies they had taken and posted on social media in the last week, as well as how many other photos they had posted and how much time they spent on social media sites. They were also asked to rate how often they used various methods to make themselves look better in pictures, such as cropping, filtering, and re-touching, Results showed that both narcissism and self-objectification were associated with spending more time on social networking sites, and with more photo-editing. Posting numerous selfies was related to both higher narcissism and psychopathy, controlling for the overall number af other types of photos posted.

Seifless Passage 3 - Questions 46-53 Why Teenagers Think and Act Differently For many years it was thought that brain development was set at a fairly early age. By the time teen years were reached the brain was thought to be largely finished. However, scientists doing cutting-edge research using magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, have mapped the brain from early childhood into adulthood and found data contrary to these belief’. It now appears the brain continues to change into the early 20's with the frontal lobes, responsible for reasoning and problem solving, developing last. ‘The decade-long magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study of normal brain development, from ages 4 to 21, by researchers at NIH's National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) shows that such "higher-order" brain centers, Soal Seleksi Mandiri Tahun 2015 ~ BAHASA INGGRIS 9 dari 12such as the prefrontal cortex, don't fully develop until young adulthood as grey matter wanes in a back-to-front wave as the brain matures and neural connections are pruned, In calm situations, teenagers can rationalize almost as well as adults. But stress can hijack ‘what Ron Dahl, a pediatrician and child psychiatric researcher at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center calls "hot cognition" and decision-making, The frontal lobes help put the brakes on a desire for thrills and taking risk -- a building block of adolescence; but, theyre also one of the last areas of the brain to develop fully.

They stand in front of walls filigreed with stained glass and gaze at a ceiling supported by delicate ribs of stone, If its beauty and magnificence is instantly apparent, so much about Notre Dame is not. To begin with, we don't know who built this eathedral—or how. The bishop of Paris, Maurice de Sully, commissioned the massive church complex around 1160. Yet the names of those ‘who first constructed this masterpiece are lost to history. They left no records—only centuries of speculation—behind. “So much ink has been spilled over that building,” says art historian Andrew Tallon. "So much of it is completely wrong." With the help of 21st-century laser scanners, he is teasing out clues hidden in the ancient stones of Notre Dame and other medieval structures—and revolutionizing our understanding of how these spectacular buildings were made. For a long time, the tools used to measure medieval buildings were nearly as old as the buildings themselves: plumb bobs, string, rulers, and pencils. Using them was tedious, time- consuming, and error-prone. Laser scans, with their exquisite precision, don't miss a thing. Mounted on a tripod, the laser beam sweeps around the choir of a cathedral, for example, and measures the distance between the scanner and every point it hits. Each measurement is represented by a colored dot, which cumulatively create a three-dimensional image of the cathedral. "If you've done your job properly." says Tallon, the scan is "accurate to within five millimeters”.
