Leonardo Dicaprio is one of the hotter young film stars around at the moment. His face has been on the covers of all the top movies and young magazines over the last few months and he has been the subject of countless articles, rumours and showbiz gossip. Leonardo doesn’t like reading about him because “I read things about me that I’ve never said in my life and never did”.
Leonardo Dicaprio was born in Los Angeles on 11 November, 1974. He’s a Scorpio. His full name is Leonardo Wilhelm Dicaprio. His mother is Germany and his father Italian-American. They called him Leonardo because when his mother was still pregnant, he started kicking while she was stood in front of a painting by Leonardo De Vinci. His friends call him Leo. He has a scar from when he was stinging by a Portuguese man-of-war. His parents separated before he was born, so his mother moved to a poor neighborhood of Hollywood there Leo grew up. At school he was very good at imitating people, especially Michael Jackson. This made him very popularly. His childhood hero was Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. 
After appearance in TV commercials and episodes of Roseanne, he played the cast of Roseanne, the TV sitcom starring Kirk Cameron. Leonard played the part of Luke, a homeless boy. Lately, he played the part of Jim Carroll in The Basketball Diaries. But he has really become famous since he acted in the film Titanic.

LETTER FROM A GENIUS
In 1912, the world’s top mathematicians began to receive letters which were full of incredibly complex formulae. They came from Madras, in India, where a 23-year-old accounts clerk named Srinivasa Ramanujan had seemingly (1) up with hundreds of new solutions to known mathematical problems (2) any form of assistance or training.
For the most part, the professional mathematicians’ response was the usual one (3) faced with eccentric letters: they consigned them straight to the bin. But in 1913, some reached G. H. Hardy, a leading authority in number theory at Cambridge, University. He, too, initially dismissed the letters (4) the work of an eccentric, but unable to (5) them out of his head, he eventually subjected them to closer scrutiny. After a few hours, Hardy arrived at the conclusion that what he had (6) him was the work of a mathematical genius, a view confirmed by colleagues with whom he shared his discovery.
Before very (7), Ramanujan had received an invitation to Cambridge and, once there, he soon proved (8) worth. A fruitful collaboration with Hardy (9) in the opening up of vast areas of mathematical research, still being worked on to (10) day.

Dogs are probably much cleverer than most people think, scientists say. They are convinced that dogs can count and that the animals try to (1) different messages through the pitch and pace of their barks. Animal behaviorists used to think their bark was simply a way of (2) attention. Now a new study suggests that individual dogs have (3) barks with a range of meanings. For example, dogs usually use high-pitched single barks when they are (4) from their owners and a lower, hasher super bark when strangers (5) towards them or the doorbell rings.
Dogs also know when they are receiving fewer treats because they have a basic mathematical ability that (6) them to tell when one pile of objects is bigger than another. But to count, an animal has to recognize that each object in a set (7) to a single number and that the last number in a (8) represents the total number of objects. 
The theory has been tested on eleven dogs. They were first (9) treats before a screen was lowered so that the treats were out of (10). The treats were left as they were or some were added or taken away. If a treat was added or taken away, the dogs looked at them much longer than they did when the treats were not disturbed, presumably because they had done their sums and the numbers did not meet their expectations. Dogs are descended from wolves, which not only have a large neo-cortex - the brain’s centre of reasoning - but live in large social groups. This mathematical ability could have been used to work out how many enemies and allies they had in a pack.

III. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to the questions that follow. (10p) 
DADA
The course of Western art forever changed after World War I. The brutality and violence of the war affected an entire generation of young poets, writers, painters, and other artists. They were disappointed that Western ideals like peace and democracy had not prevented such violence. The outrage felt by these artists gave rise to the most subversive art movement the world had ever seen. Its practitioners called it Dada, and it stood for everything that art was not; it was, in a sense, ‘anti-art.’ Instead of pleasing the tastes of viewers, Dada artists sought to shock and offend them. Dadaists sought to challenge people’s traditional beliefs by challenging the way in which they viewed art. Dada artists wanted not only to change the art world, but to change the beliefs and attitudes of the people as well. Throughout its short history, Dada spread to several cities around the world, taking on a new and unique form wherever it travelled. 
Dada was begun by a small group of artists in Zurich, Switzerland was neutral in the war, and it was a refuge for people from nearby warring countries such as Germany and Austria. Artists moved to Switzerland both to escape the war and to protest it. The movement centered on a local nightclub called the Cabaret Voltaire, where performance art was the main attraction. In one early performance, poet Hugo Ball read three pieces of experimental poetry while bouncing around the stage in a costume made of cardboard cylinders and a pair of cardboard wings. In short, the performance was completely absurd, and audiences left the club both shocked and confused at such disregard for their own pleasure. This, of course, was Ball’s intention. Similar performances at the Cabaret included many important artists who would later go on to achieve great fame. One of them was Max Ernst, who, with the help of fellow artists, established a Dada group in Cologne, Germany shortly after the war. A 
From Zurich, some members of the original Dada group moved to New York City to join an already thriving community of Dada artists there. B The atmosphere in New York was much different from that of Zurich and Cologne. C New York artists practiced what was perhaps the most playful form of Dada to date. D Whereas cynicism played a major role in European Dada, irony and humor were important to the New York scene. The basic goals, however, remained the same: the creation of anti-art that challenged the beliefs of mainstream society. French artist Marcel Duchamp created one of the best known artworks from this time and place: a sculpture called Fountain, which featured an overturned bathroom urinal. Audiences reacted with disgust to the piece, and the work was almost universally reviled by the mainstream art community. However, it did spark a great deal of lively debate, as the artist had hoped it would. 
Artists in Paris had been closely following the works of various Dada groups around the world but a real movement didn’t begin in Paris until 1920, when several of the movement’s original members moved there. For many years prior to this, the city had held a stronger reputation for its literature than for its art. However, once an array of artists began pouring into the city, Dada succeeded in Paris more than in any other city. Writers such as Andre Breton took up the cause of the Dadaists and published essays on the Dada philosophy. French painter Jean Crotti held the first exhibition of Dada painting at the Society Independent Artists. Composer Erik Satie collaborated with Pablo Picasso and others to create one of the most bizarre and scandalous ballets of the time. Whereas most ballets include graceful dancing and beautiful music, Satie and Picasso’s ballet featured Cubist-style sets, an orchestra of noise making instruments, and costumes so large and awkward that few of the dancers could move with ease. Despite the wide array of art produced in Paris, the Dada movement began to go out of style by 1922, and by 1924 had all but disappeared. Though Dada may be gone, the lasting influence of Dada can still be found in modern styles of music such as punk rock, and is also alive and well in many modern art films.

The search for the Anti-aging Pill
In government laboratories and elsewhere, scientists are seeking a drug able to prolong life and youthful vigor. Studies of caloric restriction are showing the way
As researchers on aging noted recently, no treatment on the market today has been proved to slow human aging - the build-up of molecular and cellular damage that increases vulnerability to infirmity as we grow older. But one intervention, consumption of a low-calories yet nutritionally balanced diet, works incredibly well in a broad range of animals, increasing longevity and prolonging good health. Those findings suggest that caloric restriction could delay aging and increase longevity in humans, too.
Unfortunately, for maximum benefit, people would probably have to reduce their caloric intake by roughly thirty per cent, equivalent to dropping from 2,500 calories a day to 1,760. Few mortals could stick to that harsh a regimen, especially for years on end. But what if someone could create a pill that mimicked the physiological effects of eating less without actually forcing people to eat less? Could such a ‘caloric-restriction mimetic’, as we call it, enable people to stay healthy longer, postponing age-related disorders (such as diabetes, arteriosclerosis, heart disease and cancer) until very late in life? Scientists first posed this question in the mid-1990s, after researchers came upon a chemical agent that in rodents seemed to reproduce many of caloric restriction’s benefits. No compound that would safely achieve the same feat in people has been found yet, but the search has been informative and has fanned hope that caloric-restriction (CR) mimetics can indeed be developed eventually.
The benefits of caloric restriction
The hunt for CR mimetics grew out of a desire to better understand caloric restriction’s many effects on the body. Scientists first recognized the value of the practice more than 60 years ago, when they found that rats fed a low-calorie diet lived longer on average than free-feeding rats and also had a reduced incidence of conditions that become increasingly common in old age. What is more, some of the treated animals survived longer than the oldest-living animals in the control group, which means that the maximum lifespan (the oldest attainable age), not merely the normal lifespan, increased. Various interventions, such as infection-fighting drugs, can increase a population’s average survival time, but only approaches that slow the body’s rate of aging will increase the maximum lifespan.
The rat findings have been replicated many times and extended to creatures ranging from yeast to fruit flies, worms, fish, spiders, mice and hamsters. Until fairly recently, the studies were limited to short-lived creatures genetically distant from humans. But caloric-restriction protects underway in two species more closely related to humans - rhesus and squirrel monkeys - have made scientists optimistic that CR mimetics could help people.
The monkey projects demonstrate that, compared with control animals that eat normally, caloric-restricted monkeys have lower body temperatures and levels of the pancreatic hormone insulin, and they retain more youthful levels of certain hormones that tend to fall with age.
The caloric-restricted animals also look better on indicators of risk for age-related diseases. For example, they have lower blood pressure and triglyceride levels (signifying a decreased likelihood of heart disease), and they have more normal blood glucose levels (pointing to a reduced risk for diabetes, which is marked by unusually high blood glucose levels). Further, it has recently been shown that rhesus monkeys kept on caloric-restricted diets for an extended time (nearly 15 years) have less chronic disease. They and the other monkeys must be followed still longer, however, to know whether low-calorie intake can increase both average and maximum lifespans in monkeys. Unlike the multitude of elixirs being touted as the latest anti-aging cure, CR mimetics would alter fundamental processes that underlie aging. We aim to develop compounds that fool cells into activating maintenance and repair.
How a prototype caloric-restriction mimetic works
The best-studied candidate for a caloric-restriction mimetic, 2DG (2-deoxy-D-glucose), works by interfering with the way cells process glucose. It has proved toxic at some doses in animals and so cannot be used in humans. But it has demonstrated that chemicals can replicate the effects of caloric restriction; the trick is finding the right one.
Cells use the glucose from food to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecule that powers many activities in the body. By limiting food intake, caloric restriction minimizes the amount of glucose entering cells and decreases ATP generation. When 2DG is administered to animals that eat normally, glucose reaches cells in abundance but the drug prevents most of it from being processed and thus reduces ATP synthesis. Researchers have proposed several explanations for why interruption of glucose processing and ATP production might retard aging. One possibility relates to the ATP-making machinery’s emission of free radicals, which are thought to contribute to aging and to such age-related diseases as cancer by damaging cells. Reduced operation of the machinery should limit their production and thereby constrain the damage. Another hypothesis suggests that decreased processing of glucose could indicate to cells that food is scarce (even if it isn’t) and induce them to shift into an anti-aging mode that emphasizes preservation of the organism over such ‘luxuries’ as growth and reproduction.
