William Gilbert and MagnetismA 16th and 17th centuries saw two great pioneers of modern science:
Galileo and Gilbert. The impact of their findings is eminent. Gilbert was the first modern
scientist, also the accredited father of the science of electricity and magnetism, an Englishman
of learning and a physician at the court of Elizabeth. Prior to him, all that was known of
electricity and magnetism was what the ancients knew, nothing more than that the lodestone
possessed magnetic properties and that amber and jet, when rubbed, would attract bits of paper
or other substances of small specific gravity. However, he is less well-known than he deserves.B
Gilbert's birth predated Galileo. Born in an eminent local family in Colchester county in the
UK, on May 24, 1544, he went to grammar school, and then studied medicine at St. John's College,
Cambridge, graduating in 1573. Later he traveled in the continent and eventually settled down
in London.C He was a very successful and eminent doctor. All this culminated in his election to
the president of the Royal Science Society. He was also appointed the personal physician to the
Queen(Elizabeth I), and later knighted by the Queen. He faithfully served her until her death.
However, he didn't outlive the Queen for long and died on December 10, 1603, only a few months
after his appointment as personal physician to King James.D Gilbert was first interested in
chemistry but later changed his focus due to the large portion of mysticism of alchemy
involved(such as the transmutation of metal). He gradually developed his interest in physics after
the great minds of the ancient, particularly about the knowledge the ancient Greeks had about
lodestones, strange minerals with the power to attract iron. In the meantime, Britain became a
major seafaring nation in 1588 when the Spanish Armada was defeated, opening the way to British
settlement of America. British ships depended on the magnetic compass, yet no one understood why
it worked. Did the pole star attract it, as Columbus once speculated; or was there a magnetic
mountain at the pole, as described in Odyssey, which ships would never approach, because the
sailors thought its pull would yank out all their iron nails and fittings? For nearly 20 years
William Gilbert conducted ingenious experiments to understand magnetism. His works include On
the Magnet and Magnetic Bodies, Great Magnet of the Earth.E Gilbert's discovery was so important
to modern physics. He investigated the nature of magnetism and electricity. He even coined the
word "electric". Though the early beliefs of magnetism were also largely entangled with
superstitions such as that rubbing garlic on lodestone can neutralize its magnetism, one example
being that sailors even believed the smell of garlic would even interfere with the action of compass,
which is why helmsmen were forbidden to eat it near a ship's compass. Gilbert also found that
metals can be magnetized by rubbing materials such as fur, plastic or the like on them. He named
the ends of a magnet "north pole" and "south pole". The magnetic poles can attract or repel,
depending on polarity. In addition, however, ordinary iron is always attracted to a magnet. Though
he started to study the relationship between magnetism and electricity, sadly he didn't complete
it. His research of static electricity using amber and jet only demonstrated that objects with
electrical charges can work like magnets attracting small pieces of paper and stuff. It is a French
guy named du Fay that discovered that there are actually two electrical charges, positive and
negative.F He also questioned the traditional astronomical beliefs. Though a Coper-nican, he
didn't express in his quintessential beliefs whether the earth is at the center of the universe
or in orbit around the sun. However he believed that stars are not equidistant from the earth,
but have their own earth-like planets orbiting around them. The earth is itself like a giant magnet,
which is also why compasses always point north. They spin on an axis that is aligned with the
earth's polarity. He even likened the polarity of the magnet to the polarity of the earth and
built an entire magnetic philosophy on this analogy. In his explanation, magnetism was the soul of the earth. Thus a perfectly spherical lodestone, when aligned with the earth's poles, would
wobble all by itself in 24 hours. Further, he also believed that suns and other stars wobble just
like the earth does around a crystal core, and speculated that the moon might also be a magnet

You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13 which are based on Reading Passage 1
below.LEARNING BY EXAMPLESA Learning Theory is rooted in the work of Ivan Pavlov, the famous
scientist who discovered and documented the principles governing how animals(humans
included)learn in the 1900s. Two basic kinds of learning or conditioning occur, one of which is
famously known as the classical conditioning. Classical conditioning happens when an animal learns
to associate a neutral stimulus(signal)with a stimulus that has intrinsic meaning based on how
closely in time the two stimuli are presented. The classic example of classical conditioning is
a dog's ability to associate the sound of a bell(something that originally has no meaning to the
dog)with the presentation of food(something that has a lot of meaning for the dog)a few moments

report says that many species of bamboo may be under serious
threat.Section AEvery year, during the rainy season, the mountain
gorillas of Central Africa migrate to the foothills and lower slopes
of the Virunga Mountains to graze on bamboo. For the 650 or so that
remain in the wild, it's a vital food source. Although they eat
almost 150 types of plant, as well as various insects and other
invertebrates, at this time of year bamboo accounts for up to 90 per

Domestic Division of Labour
A Domestic division of labour refers to the division of tasks, roles and duties, within the householdWith the increased entry of married
women into formal employment, sociologists began to look more closely at the processes that linked home and workplace, including the
question of whether or not women's increased involvement in paid labour led to a renegotiation of the “traditional” domestic roles and
organization of domestic labourA huge empirical and theoretical literature was then generated in a relatively short time.
B Work within the family context takes a variety of formsIn many Western households in the 1990s, it may include tasks such as caring for
