The companies that take care of all this arranging and keeping track are called syndicates. ‘They represent cartoonists and protect their legal rights. They arrange schedules and make sure the cartoons get to the right place at the right time. ‘Another very important thing they do is produce and sell all the side products of the cartoon. The syndicates will publish a collection of the cartoons in book or magazine form. They will arrange for the production of toys or shirts or posters that show the cartoon’s characters. You can walk into many toy stores and buy a small statue or toy figure of Snoopy or Mickey Mouse or Superman and quite a few other characters who first saw the light of day in a daily comic strip. All this sort of thing is handled by syndicates, For cartoonists trying to get a start, the first and most urgent task is to find a syndicate that will take them on. Once the cartoonist is represented by a syndicate, the job of sales and promotion is in the hands of specialists, and the cartoonist’s career is off to a good start. Most cartoonists do all the writing and drawing themselves. Others work as part of a team. One person may be the writer and another will draw the pictures. This is the usual case with comic books that are published. frequently and have many pages. The team can, in fact, be fairly large. There will be an editor or general supervisor, the writer, and one or two people who do the drawings in pencil. Then there will be someone to ink in the peneil drawings, a letterer, someone to take care of the colour, and one or two more people who deal with all the other odds and ends. When a cartoonist dies or retires a comic strip is sometimes abandoned if the drawing and writing are so distinctive that nobody else is able to carry it on. But in many cases the strip is taken over by another cartoonist. If the readers are so attached to fa strip that they demand it continue, the syndicate will find somebody to take it over. Sometimes several people work on a comic strip over a period of years. This happened Blondie, and many others. Little Orphan Annie§ for example, has been in existence since 1924, and during that time many different people have worked on it. It is still going stro: much the same characters and much the same drawing style. 1. When cartoonists are taken on by a syndicate A. They will be able to concentrate on drawing, B.

UNIT 2 Questions 8 - 13 Driving to Work in 1922 Babbitt fell into a great silence and devoted himself to the game of beating tramway cars to the comer: a spurt, a tail-chase, nervous speeding between the huge yellow side of the tram and the jagged row of parked motors, shooting past as the tram stopped - a rare game and valiant. And all the while he was aware of the loveliness of Zenith. For weeks together he had noticed nothing but clients and the vexing To Let signs of vival agents. Today, in a mysterious way, the light so enchanted him that he lifted his head admired each district along his familiar route he office. The bungalows and shrubs and irregular drives of Floral Heights. ‘The one-storey shops in Smith Street, a glare of plate- glass and new yellow brick; groceries and Jaundries and chemist shops to supply the more immediate needs of East Side housewives. The market gardens in Dutch Hollow, their shanties patched with comugated iron and stolen doors. Billboards with crimson goddesses nine fect tall advertising cinema films, pipe tobacco, and talcum powder. The old ‘mansions’ along Ninth Street, like aged dandies in filthy linen; wooden castles turned into boarding houses, with muddy walks and rusty hedges, jostled by fast-intruding garages, cheap blocks of flats, and fruit-stands conducted by bland, sleek vendors. Across the belt of railway lines, factories with high-perched water tanks and tall stacks - factories producing condensed milk, paper boxes, lighting fixtures, motor cars. Then the business centre, the thickening darting traffic, the crammed trams unloading, and high doorways of marble and polished granite. It was big - and Babbitt respected bigness in anything: in mountains, jewels, muscles, wealth, or words. He was, for a. spring-enchanted moment, the lyric and almost unselfish lover of Zenith. He thought of the outlying factory suburbs; of the Chaloosa River with its strangely eroded banks; of the orchard-dappled Tonawanda Hills to the north, and alll the fat dairy land and big bams and comfortable herds. As he dropped his passenger he cried, "Gosh, I feel pretty good this morning!” 8. On this moming, Babbitt felt A, Suddenly free of commitments. B. _ Invigorated by the beautiful day. C. Interested in leaming more about Zenith, D. Depressed by the amount of work he had to do. 9. The last district that Babbitt described before he reached the business centre was a A. Dairying district. B. Residential district. C. Factory district. D. Fruit-growing district. Copyright © 2007 www.ozimed.com Test 1-Page310.

Appreciation of the beauty and diversity of Zenith D. Ability to conduct business fairly UNIT 3 Questions 14-19 What can we do about Unplain English? Compared with many foreign tongues, English is not an especially difficult language. Yet many people find it remarkably hard to say what they mean in a straight-forward way. Even governments sometimes fail to communicate. The application for the Seniors Card in one Australian State — a useful official initiative for residents aged 60 years or over contained this classic ambiguity Tam not in the full- me workforce Yes Should the correct answer for a retired perso have been Yes, [am not in the full-time workforce ‘Are you in customer-oriented mode or focused on personal recreation?" The American State of Pennsylvania has a ‘plain English’ law for its own statutes. This requires an average word length of less than 1.55 syllables and an average paragraph length of less than 75 words. No sentence may exceed 50 words and no paragraph may be longer than 150 words. The attempt to force style by legislation, while no doubt well-intentioned, seems naive in the extreme. Style is not a matter of mathematics there is no such thing as an ‘ideal’ size for a word, a sentence or a paragraph. More often, the problem lies in the use of stilted or pretentious words, slang, jargon, worn clichés, archaic terms, mixed metaphors, tautological expressions and acronyms which are meaningless to their readers. Many people believe that the answer lies in teaching people to write plainly. Certainly the Seniors Card application form’ breaks a basic postulate of plain writing - that questions containing negatives are almost _ invariably ambiguous. But would re-education help with any of the following?

Caesar was murdered by a small group of Senators who considered him too ambitious. One member of this group was Brutus, a man who was generally considered trustworthy and of high integrity, Antony: Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; Tcome to bury Caesar, not to praise him. ‘The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Caesar, The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were 0, it was a grievous fault; Copyright © 2007 www.ozimed.com Test 1-Page7‘And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest, For Brutus is an honourable man; So are they all, all honourable men, Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Brutus says he was ambitious; ‘And Brutus is an honourable man.

UNIT 8 Questions 43 - 48 The Rehearsal One noon in 1892, a young man stood in front of the new Gewandhaus in Leipzig, and watched the neat, grass-laid square, until then white and silent in the sunshine, grow dark with many figures. ‘The public rehearsal of the weekly concert was just over, and, from the half light of the warm coloured hall, which for more than two hours had held them secluded, some hundreds of people hastened, with renewed anticipation, towards sunlight and street sounds. There was a medley of tongues, for many nationalities were represented in the crowd that surged through the ground floor and out of the glass doors, and much noisy ado, for the majority was made up of young people, at an age that enjoys the sound of its own voice. In black diverging lines they poured through the heavy swinging doors, which flapped ceaselessly to and fro, never quite closing, always opening afresh, and on descending the shallow steps they told off into groups, where all talked at once, with lively gesticulation. A few faces had the strained look that indicates a conscientious listener; but most of these young musicians were under the influence of a stimulant more potent than wine, which manifested itself in a nervous garrulity and a nervous micth, ‘They hummed like bees before a hive. Maurice Guest, who had come out among the first, lingered to watch a scene that was new to him, of which he ‘was as yet an onlooker only. Here and there came a member of the orchestra; with violin-case or black-swathed wind instrument in hand, he deftly threaded his way through the throng, bestowing, as he went, a hasty greeting upon a colleague, a sweep of the hat upon an obsequious pupil. The crowd began to disperse and to overflow in the surrounding streets. Some of the stragglers loitered to swell the group that was forming round the back entrance of the building; here the Iank- haired Belgian violinist would appear, the wonders of whose technique had sent thrills of enthusiasm through his hearers, and whose close proximity would presently affect them in precisely the same way. Others again made off, not for the town, with its prosaic suggestion of work and confinement, but for the freedom of the woods that lay beyond. 43.

Beyond that, a long way beyond, lay the icy wastes of the Antarctic. It was the most lovely place for a child to grow. At the top of our steep, untended garden of rhododendrons, waratah and pussy willows was a grove of old pine trees where my father had constructed a precarious tree house in the upper branches, This was for my brother and out of bounds to me, but I'd climb up there anyway, trembling with terror, because up there it was easy to believe I was perched at the very top of the very end of the world. Behind the overgrown European facade of garden was the pipeline, a track which followed the water pipe the whole length of the mountain through the dripping forest of giant manferns, where tendrils ‘of water seeped from every crevice in the rock- face and the ground squelched beneath my feet. It was full of secluded hideaways: dank. magical, musty. It belonged in fairytales with goblins and when snow:covered it became the remote empire of Hans Christian Andersen's fierce Snow Queen, Before I understood anything wise about my exquisite birthplace, I understood it was far, far away from everywhere else 1 had ever heard about. School was a quite different experience. 1 was disliked by the teachers as an untidy chatterbox and smarty pants. My teachers were not the Teast impressed that 1 knew Greek myths and Norse fables; their concem was that I could not recite my tables, nor could J spell, that my ink always blotted and smudged and my colouring-in ran over the lines. In fourth grade, still so vivid in my memory that I dream about it, | was the only girl in the school who had to share her desk with a boy. And you can be sure he was regarded as the school lout. We were being jointly punished, our deficiency in niceness was made a daily example. The really terrible thing was, 1 knew he was appalled to be sat next {0 me and his misfortune was a constant source of teasing. As the Test 1- Page 12 Copyright 1007 www.ozimed.comjeadmaster was 10 remind me more than once, Princes St Primary School, Sandy Bay, was not the appropriate place for me. My parents did not live in the elegant, well-kept, securely upper middle-class suburb which fed the school and nor were their bohemian views on child-rearing and festyle appreciated.

The story uses a fable about animels to satirize the struggle for a proletarian revolution and Communism. As with humans, the lofiy ideals of the animals are lost amid power struggles, corruption, and lies. Several nights a week, after Mr. Jones was asleep, they held secret. meetings in the bam and expounded the principles of Animalism to the others. At the beginning they met with such stupidity and apathy. Some of the animals talked of the duty of loyalty to Mr. Jones, whom they referred to as ‘Master, or made elementary remarks such as ‘Mr. Jones feeds us. If he were gone, we should starve to death.’ Others asked such questions as "Why should we care what happens after we are dead” or 'If this rebellion is to happen anyway, what difference does it make whether we work for it or not?', and the pigs had great difficulty in making them see that this was contrary to the spirit of Animalism. The stupidest questions of all were asked by Mollie, the white mare. The very first question she asked Snowball was: ‘Will there still be sugar after the Rebellion” 'No,' said Snowball firmly. ‘We have no means of making sugar on this farm. Besides, you do not need sugar. You will have all the oats and hay you want. "And shall I still be allowed to wear ribbons in my mane? asked Mollie. ‘Comrade,’ said Snowball, ‘those ribbons that you are so devoted to are the badge of slavery. Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than ribbons?" Mollie agreed, but she did not sound very convinced. ‘The pigs had an even harder struggle to counteract the lies put about by Moses, the tame raven: Moses, who was Mr Jones's especial pet, was a spy and a tale-bearer, but he was also a clever talker. He claimed to know of the existence of a mysterious country called Sugarcandy Mountain, to which all animals went when they died. It was situated somewhere up in the sky, a little distance beyond the clouds, Moses said. In Sugarcandy Mountain it was Sunday seven days a week, clover was in season all the year round, and ump sugar and linseed cake grew on the hedges. The animals hated Moses because he told tales and did not work, but some of them believed in Sugarcandy Mountain, and the pigs had to argue very hard to persuade them that there was no such place. Their most faithful disciples were the two carthorses, Boxer and Clover. These two had great difficulty in thinking anything out for themselves: but having once accepted the pigs as their teachers, they absorbed everything that they were told, and passed it on to the other animals by simple arguments. They were unfailing in their attendance at the secret meetings in the barn, and led the singing of ‘Beasts of England’, with which the meetings always ended, 61. The passage suggests that A. The most ardent supporters of a revolution are those least able to think for themselves. Copyright © 2007 werw.ozimed.com Test 4 - PageB. Mollie the White Mare was the stupidest animal of all C. Proletarian revolution is inevitable and animals are used to satirize common human objections. D. Animals go to Sugarcandy Mountain when they dic. 62. It may be reasonable to infer from the passage that A. The author has an extreme hatred of ravens. B. Snowball is the leader of the revolution. C. The author is in favour of a Communist revolution. D. The pigs are working for Mr Jones against the revolution. 63. The main purpose of the passage is to A. Satirize the quest for « proletarian revolution, B. Provide entertainment to animal lovers. C. Raise the issue of animal exploitation by human beings. D. _ Satirize the objections to a proletarian revolution. 64. Which of the following conclusions about George Orwell could be challenged? A. He wasa brilliant satirist. B. He was a committed communist. C. He wrote "Animal Farm”. D. He wanted his readers to think. 65. Implicit in the passage is that ‘A. There is no Sugarcandy Mountain. B, Mr Jones mistreats the animals. C. The pigs instigate the rebellion. D. There will be sugar for all after the rebellion 66. Which of the following was not an argument used by the animals against the Rebellion in the passage A D. 67. If we rebel, we will not go to Sugarcandy Mountain when we die. Mr Jones feeds us. If he were gone, we should starve to death. Why should we care what happens after we are dead? We have a duty of loyalty to the Master. The overall point made by the question, “If this rebellion is to happen anyway, what difference does it make whether we work for it or not” is that A. B. 68. A revolution must be worked for otherwise it will be taken for granted. ‘The pigs were forcing too much information on the other animals. ‘There is a basic inconsistency in revolutionary dogma. One can’t sit back and expect a revolution to happen. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage.? A. Ribbons are the badge of slavery B. Ideas which are absurd when applied to animals may also be absurd when applied to humans. C. Good animals will go to Sugarcandy Mountain when they die. D.

The relative dryness of most skin areas limits the growth of fungi, but damaged skin or intertriginous sites (areas of apposed skin) may be rapidly colonised. Invasion of deeper tissues can only occur when the host's resistance is significantly lowered. Candida may be present in a unicellular yeast form or a multicellular, nore Copyright © 2007 wwww.ozimed.comranching pseudo-hyphal form. Both forms reproduce mainly by asexual budding. The pseudo-hyphae can also form fruiting bodies that produce haploid gametes (spores). The following drugs may be used alone or, more commonly, in combination to treat candida infections. * Amphotericin binds avidly to the ergosterol in the membrane of fungi and some protozoa. This forms a trans-membrane ion channel, which increases cell wall permeability, leading to loss of intracellular potassium ions. * Ketoconazole inhibits fngal P450 enzymes responsible for ergosterol synthesis, resulting in inereased cell wall permeability. * 5.Flueytosine (-FC) is a synthetic anti-fungal agent. In fungal cells, but importantly not in humans, 5-FC is converted NH. to S-fluorouracil (5-FU) 2 which inhibits thymidylate FE synthetase, blocking its py ability 10 catalyse the — !) formation of _ thymidine, This results in inhibition of DNA, but not RNA, synthesis. The structure of 4 5-FC is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 29. Drugs which attack the gamete-producing stage of Candida albicans arc largely ineffective because: A.
