There are several multiple choice questions that follow. ​ Select the best suggested answer to each question. You may use the margins to take notes as you read. The Reef by Samuel Scoville, Jr. 1923 Lune-green and amber, a strip of fading sky glowed across the trail of the vanished sun. Far below, the opal sea paled to mother-of-pearl. Then, over sea and sky, strode the sudden dark of the tropics and in an instant the southern stars flamed and flared through the violet night. A long, tense moment, with sea and sky waiting, and a rim of raw gold thrust itself above the horizon as the full moon of midsummer climbed toward the zenith.1 Rising, its light made a broad causeway across the sea clear to the dark reef which lurked in the shimmering watery. Suddenly, inked black against the moon-path, showed the lean shape of a canoe. All the way from Carib Island, a day and a night away, Jim Tom, who in his day had been a famous sponge-diver, had brought his grandson Jimmy Tom for a first visit to the reef.Both had the cinnamon-red skins of the Red Caribs,2 who once had ruled mightily the whole Caribbean. Jim Tom’s hair was cut to an even edge all the way around his neck; his small, deep-set eyes were like glittering crumbs of black glass, and ever since a day when he dived below the twenty-five-fathom mark both of his legs had been paralyzed.

Maintenance of muscle strength and mass as aging occurs will greatly improve these functions and promote independent living and longevity. It is well known that men and women are not comparable in strength or absolute muscle mass after adolescence. In adulthood, when strength is expressed relative to mass, the disparity tends to be smaller, therefore, the primary aim of this study was to identify sex-related differences in muscle quality, defined as the upper and lower body strength relative to muscle mass of the upper and lower body, respectively, in older men and women. METHODS: Seventeen men [mean ą SD: age (years): 69.1 ą 6.6; height (cm): 177.4 ą 7.5; weight (kg): 84.0 ą 14.5] and 17 age-matched women [age (years): 68.9 ą 6.4; height (cm): 159.4 ą 7.9; weight (kg): 71.0 ą 12.8] completed maximal bench press and leg press to assess strength and underwent a full-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan to quantify arm lean mass and leg lean mass.
