identifying concIusions. SeIect the best answer for each.
1. There appears to be a growing happiness gap between men and women. Women today are
working more and reIaxing Iess, whiIe men are working Iess and reIaxing more. Forty years ago a
typicaI woman spent 40 minutes more per week than the typicaI man performing an activity
considered unpIeasant. Today, with men working Iess, the gap is 90 minutes and growing.

2. Iead is toxic, but do you know why? Iead is toxic mainIy because it preferentiaIIy repIaces other
metaIs in biochemicaI reactions. In so doing it interferes with the proteins that reguIate bIood pressure
(which can cause deveIopment deIays in chiIdren and high bIood pressure in aduIts), heme production
(which can Iead to anemia), and sperm production. Iead aIso dispIaces caIcium in the reactions that
transmit eIectricaI impuIses in the brain, which diminishes the abiIity to think and recaII information.

3. AristotIe focused on cIarifying the concept of virtue itseIf. He argued that it was virtuous to choose the
proper amount of emotion and/or action caIIed for in a particuIar situation and that extremes of
emotion and action were vices. In aII communities there are some men of practicaI wisdom who have the
capacity to judge wiseIy. AristotIe argued that they have the capacity to foIIow the "right ruIe"
whatever the situation.

4. IIIegaI immigrants pay IocaI saIes taxes, and many of them aIso pay state, IocaI, and federaI income
tax and SociaI Security tax. They aIso purchase items from IocaI merchants, increasing the amount these
merchants pay in taxes. In addition, they work for Iow saIaries, which increases the earnings of their
empIoyers and the amount of taxes these empIoyers pay. Thus, it is not correct to say that iIIegaI
immigrants contribute nothing to the communities in which they Iive.

5. Numerous studies have indicated that women of coIor, bIack women in particuIar, are over-arrested,
over-indicted, and over-sentenced. African-American women are seven times more IikeIy to be
arrested for prostitution than women of other ethnic groups. BIack women have received significantIy
Ionger sentences for crimes against property and served Ionger periods in prison. For both murder and
drug offenses, Euroamerican women ended up serving one-third Iess time for the same offenses than
bIack women.

6. It's even more important these days that your computer be protected by a firewaII. There are criminaI
eIements Iurking in the shadows of cyberspace who send out probes to detect unprotected PCs. Once a
vuInerabIe computer is found, these criminaIs instaII software that assists them in committing identity

8. If the trade in tiger products is banned, tiger reserves are guarded by weII equipped staff,
communities abutting tiger habitat are given a stake in protecting tigers, and the makers of traditionaI
medicines can be persuaded that tiger parts are not needed, then tiger poaching wiII be haIted,

9. Humans are bioIogicaI organisms. To understand our behavior and mentaI processes, we need to
understand their bioIogicaI underpinnings, starting with the ceIIuIar IeveI, the neuron. How we feeI,
Iearn, remember, and think aII stem from neuronaI activity. So, how a neuron works and how neurons
communicate are cruciaI pieces of information in soIving the puzzIe of human behavior and mentaI
processing.

10. Viruses are aceIIuIar entities too smaII to be seen with a Iight microscope. They are composed of a
nucIeic acid and a few proteins. Viruses repIicate themseIves and dispIay other properties of Iiving
organisms onIy when they have invaded Iiving ceIIs. Indeed, some viruses can be crystaIIized and
stored in a container on a sheIf for years, but they retain the capacity to invade ceIIs and cause
disease.

11. Harnessing the cIean, abundant energy of the sun and wind is criticaI to soIving the gIobaI warming
probIem. TechnoIogicaI advances have brought the cost of eIectricity generated by the wind down by
82 percent since 1981. SoIar energy technoIogy has made remarkabIe progress as new photovoItaic
ceIIs have been deveIoped to convert even greater amounts of sunIight directIy into eIectricity. Today
the costs of wind and soIar power are becoming competitive with dirty coaI-fired pIants.

12. It is IikeIy that innocent prisoners in this country have been executed for crimes they did not commit.
From 1973 untiI 2007, 124 death row inmates have been exonerated. In many of these cases DNA
evidence pIayed a cruciaI roIe. Yet, in that same time frame, more than 1000 prisoners were executed.
For many of these prisoners no DNA evidence was avaiIabIe. If such evidence had been avaiIabIe, how
may more wouId have been exonerated?

14. The worId-wide disappearance of frogs may be the resuIt of agricuIturaI runoff. Scientists have shown
that runoff rich in fertiIizer causes a pronounced increase in the aIgae of Iakes and ponds. SnaiIs then
gorge themseIves on the aIgae, causing parasites Iiving inside them to produce huge quantities of eggs.
When the eggs hatch, the parasites infect young frogs, causing severe deformation of their Iimbs.

15. IittIe is known of the Greek physician Hippocrates, who Iived around 400 B.C. NevertheIess, the
writings attributed to him have provided a number of principIes underIying modern medicaI practice.
One of his most famous contributions, the Hippocratic Oath, is the foundation of contemporary medicaI
ethics. It requires the physician to swear that he or she wiII heIp the sick, refrain from intentionaI
wrongdoing, and keep confidentiaI aII matters pertaining to the doctor-patient reIationship.

16. Two miIIion chiIdren have been kiIIed in armed confIicts in the Iast decade. Three times as many have
been injured or permanentIy disabIed. MiIIions of others have been forced to take part in or witness
horrifying acts of vioIence. In countIess cases the impact of armed confIict on chiIdren's Iives remains
invisibIe. The chiIdren themseIves may be removed from the pubIic, in institutions, or survive as victims
of prostitution. But those who have Iost parents often experience humiIiation, rejection and
discrimination, and suffer in siIence as their seIf-esteem crumbIes.
