Text 1 is for question 1 to 3
The issue of using drugs to enhance athlete‘s performance is controversial.
Those who agree to the use of drug in enhancing performance say that most top players in all sports take drugs to train harder and feel no pain during play. The trainers, sport doctors, nutritionists, psychiatrists and managers of the big names make sure banned substances are taken at the safest and most efficient levels. The main effect of banning such substances has been to turn performers and their coaches into liars and cheaters. We should legalize performance enhancing drugs so that they can be regulated and athletes on the way up –whose entourages do not yet include savvy physiotherapists and doctors- don‘t overdose and do themselves damage.
On the other hand, some still believe that performance enhancing drugs in sport should be banned. Performance-enhancing drugs are not only prohibited because they violate the spirit of sport but because they can damage the health of athletes. The idea of allowing them in sport could lead to a situation whereby sportsmen and women are used as human guinea pigs for a constant flow of new, unregulated substances. The long-term effects don‘t bear thinking about.

But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

Why is ethanol a good alternative to the fuel which is used now? Firstly, ethanol is based on renewable resources. It is produced from agricultural products, such as sugar beet, sugar cane, potatoes, grains and raw materials such as pulp (smashed wood or plant material), soft wood and waste paper.

This text is for questions 35 to 38.
James Watt was born in Greenock on 19 January 1736.
His father, also called James, was a ship builder. As a boy Watt went to the local grammar school where he studied classics and mathematics. The young Watt also liked making models.
Eventually, Watt decided to become a maker of mathematical instruments, such as quadrants and compasses. In 1755 he went to London, but only stayed there for two years before moving to Glasgow.
In 1764 Watt made a model of Newcomen steam engine. In this engine, the steam was pushed into a cylinder, then condensed back into water. A year later Watt realized it would be more efficient to condense the steam in another chamber separate from the cylinder. However, it was not until 1769 that Watt patented his new idea, the separate condenser.
In 1775 he went into partnership with Matthew Boulton and began making steam engines which were used for pumping water out of mines. By 1780 the Industrial Revolution was beginning to transform life in Britain and Watt adapted his steam engines to provide a rotary motion so they could be used to power machines in new factories.
In 1781 he used the sun to do this and four years later, steam engines were used to power machines in cotton mills for the first time. Meanwhile, in 1782 Watt invented another major improvement, the double–acting steam engines. In 1788 he invented the fly ball Royal to regulate the speed of steam engines and he made a pressure gauge in 1790.
In 1785 Watt was elected a fellow of the Royal society and he retired from business in 1800. James Watt died on 25 August 1819 and was buried in Birmingham.
