Your Brain Could Be Controlling How Sick You Get - And How
You Recover
Hundreds of scientists around the world are looking
for ways to treat heart attacks. But few started where Hedva
Haykin has: in the brain. Doctor Haykin wants to know
whether stimulating a region of the brain involved in positive
emotion and motivation can influence how the heart heals.
Late last year, in a small, ____________ microscope
room, she pulled out slides from a thin black box, one by
one. On them were slices of hearts, no bigger than pumpkin
seeds, from mice that had experienced heart attacks. Under
a microscope, some of the samples were clearly marred by
scars left in the aftermath of the infarction. Others showed
mere ____________ of damage visible among streaks of
healthy, red-stained cells.
The difference in the hearts’ appearance originated in
the brain, Haykin explains. The healthier-looking samples
came from mice that had received stimulation of a brain
area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Those
marked with scars were from unstimulated mice. On the
basis of her experiments so far, which have not yet been
published, activation of this brain reward centre — called
the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems to trigger
immune changes that contribute to the reduction of scar
__________.

Concerning the parts of speech, the word underlined in
“the ventral tegmental area (VTA) seems to trigger immune
changes that contribute to the reduction of scar” is classified

The Ringmaster's Advice
People say, "any publicity is good publicity" allthe
time. It's become a modern truism. But people don't seem
to give much thought to where it came from.
While there is no proof that he used exactly those
words, the quote is widely attributed to showman P.T.
Barnum. I think it's safe to say that even if he never said
"any publicity is good publicity," it describes his lived
ethos.
P.T. Barnum was the founder of the Barnum &
Bailey Circus, billed as "The Greatest Show on Earth." He
advertised fake mermaids and a woman who claimed to
be George Washington's 161-year-old nurse. Barnum's
traveling shows featured midgets, Siamese twins, bearded
ladies, and even "Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy."
There's no record of him saying these exact words
either, but he is also widely credited with the quote,
"there's a sucker born every minute."
P.T. Barnum did describe himself as the "Prince of
Humbug," proudly owning his reputation for hoaxes and
"harmless" deceptions.
Barnum was an interesting character, but he's not
a man we should be encouraging other men, especially
young men, to emulate. Unfortunately, his ethos is more
or less what social media has been teaching kids for the
past ten years.
And at the same time, everyone complains that
everything is "fake and ghey."
Well... if you follow the ringmaster's advice, don't
be surprised when you end up living in a circus.

in the phrase it describes his lived ethos,
the word ethos is an uncountable noun. With this in mind,
mark True (T) or False (F):
( ) The word ethos is uncountable because it refers to the guiding spirit, values, or character of a person, group, or culture.
( ) The word ethos names a general, continuous quality (a way of thinking/behaving).
( ) In the text, you could say two ethoses because it reÍers to an overarching spirit or attitude that applies to many people.
( ) The use of ethos is functional when the writer wants to talk about individual instances.
Which alternative CORRECTLY fills in the parentheses above?
