KKPPDDSS--ÜÜDDSS--YYDDSS RREEAADDIINNGG PPAACCKK Bu kitap nedir? KPDS,ÜDS,YDS sınavlarına hazırlanan öğrencilere hep oku, oku denir. Ancak ne okumaları gerektiği konusunda “stage’li kitap oku, üçüncü seviye sana uygun, dördüncü seviye sana uygun, Daily News oku, İngilizce gazete oku” türünden okuma becerisini geliştirici olsa da direkt sınav formatıyla örtüşmeyen önerilerde bulunulur. KPDS,ÜDS,YDS sınavları AKADEMİKTİR. Akdemik personel tarafından hazırlanır. O insanlar, yani profesörler, akademik düşünürler. Ve sonucunda da akdemik içerikli sorular sorarlar. Bu kitap KPDS,ÜDS,YDS sınavına hazırlanan öğrencileri, yani seni, Moby Dick türü stage’li kitaplarla hazırlamaktan çok, direkt akademik parçalarla boğuşturarak doğru yönlendirmek amaçlı hazırlandı. Sen İngilizce stage’li kitaplar, gazeteler, dergiler okumaya devam et, internette İngilizce sayfalarda gez; ancak aynı anda mutlaka ve mutlaka Akademik içerikli yazılar da oku. Sınavın temelde bunu şart koşuyor: Öğrenci akademik metinler de okumuş mu? ÜNİVERSİTE FORMATINDA ? Bu kaynak sana bu yönde yardımcı olmak amaçlanarak hazırlanmış bir kitaptır. Bu kitabı nasıl çalışacaksın? Çok basit. Okuyacaksın. Şu anki seviyene ve İngilizce okuma hızınıza göre her gün 1,2,3,4, sen çok iyiysen 10-20 sayfa okuyacaksın. Okurken ilk 45-50 sayfada kelime atlamak yok. Kelimeleri çıkara çıkara, ezberleye ezberleye okuyacaksın. Daha sonraki sayfalarda her kelimeye bakmak yok. Tahmin edebiliyorsan, tahmin edip geçeceksin. Genel bütünlüğü yakalayabildiğin sürece her kelimeye bakmak yok. Neden 220 sayfalık upuzun bir kitap? Biter mi? Evet, biter. Bitireceksin. Bu kitap gibi 4-5 kitap daha okuman gerekecek. KPDS,ÜDS,YDS sınavlarında hedeflediğin skoru salt gramer çalışarak, çıkmış soru çözerek yakalayamazsın! Ancak okuyanlar yakalar. Sen geri kalırsın. Geri kalma, oku! http://englishoffice.50webs.com 1 ENGLISH OFFICE - ÜDS,KPDS,YDS,TOEFL DİL FORUM / ÖZEL DERS 441 42 84 İzmir CONTENTS 1. BOOKS 61. SEVEN WONDERS OF 2. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT 62.

SHAW, GEORGE BERNARD 2 ENGLISH OFFICE - ÜDS,KPDS,YDS,TOEFL DİL FORUM / ÖZEL DERS 441 42 84 İzmir BOOKS Book consists of written or printed sheets of paper or some other material fastened together along one edge so it can be opened at any point. Most books have a protective cover. Books are a reasonably inexpensive and convenient way to store, transport, and find knowledge and information. The book thus ranks as one of humanity's greatest inventions. People have used books in some form for more than 5,000 years. In ancient times, people wrote on clay tablets, strips of wood, or other materials. The term book comes from the early English word boc, which means tablet or written sheets. The first printed books in Europe appeared during the mid-1400's. Since then, millions of books have been printed on almost every subject and in every written language. Young readers are familiar with storybooks, textbooks, workbooks, and comic books. We often consult almanacs, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and telephone books for reference. We read novels, books of poetry, and printed versions of plays for entertainment. The pages of a book are glued or sewed together along one side, called the spine or back. Two covers are joined by hinges to the spine. Books are either hardbound or softbound, depending on the cover. Most hardbound books have covers made of cloth, plastic, or leather over cardboard. A paper dust jacket is often added to protect the cover. Softbound books, called paperbacks, have paper covers. Usually, the book title and other information appear on a book's spine and front cover as well as on its dust jacket. Inside the front cover of a typical book is a collection of pages called the preliminary material. The material begins with a blank or decorated end paper, followed by the half-title page. The recto (front side) of this page carries the book's title. The verso (back of the page) may be blank, or may carry a list of other books by the same author. Throughout the book, the verso is always an even-numbered page and the recto is always odd-numbered. The title page carries the full title of the book and the author's name on the recto. It also carries the imprint, which is the place and date of publication and the name of the publisher or company issuing the book. The verso of the title page contains additional publication information and a statement of copyright, which is a notification that the book's contents are the property of the author or publisher. In the earliest printed books, the information now carried on the title page appeared at the end of the book in a statement called the colophon. The illustration that faces the title page is called the frontispiece. The preface follows the title page. In the preface, the author discusses various aspects of the creation of the book. The table of contents usually comes at the end of the preliminary material. It lists in order the book's main topics or the headings of the individual units and their page numbers. The text is the main part of the book. The text is usually divided into separate parts called chapters or books. The text may also include illustrations. In many books, several sections follow the text. The appendix contains notes, charts, tables, lists, or other detailed information discussed in the text. Many books have an index, which lists in alphabetical order important subjects, names, and places in the text. The index gives the page number where the reader can find these items in the text. Finally, some books have a bibliography that lists sources used by the author in writing the book. The bibliography also lists additional sources on subjects in the text. 3 CAPITAL PUNISHMENT Capital punishment is punishment by death for committing a crime. Since the early 1800's, most executions have resulted from convictions for murder. The death penalty has also been imposed for such serious crimes as armed robbery, kidnapping, rape, and treason. People disagree about whether capital punishment is moral or is effective in discouraging crime. In the late 1990's, 38 states of the United States had laws that allowed the death penalty. These laws were influenced by a 1972 U.S. Supreme Court decision. The court had banned the death penalty as it was then imposed. It ruled that "the imposition and carrying out of the death penalty" was cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the 8th and 14th amendments to the Constitution. But the court left open the possibility that the death penalty might be constitutional--if imposed for certain crimes and applied according to clear standards. After the 1972 decision, many state legislatures passed new capital punishment laws designed to satisfy the Supreme Court's requirements. These laws limit the death penalty to murder and to other specified crimes that result in a person's death. Such crimes include armed robbery, hijacking, and kidnapping. The laws of several states specify the circumstances under which a judge or jury may impose the death penalty. In 1976, the court upheld death sentences for three men convicted of murder under new laws in Florida, Georgia, and Texas. It ruled that capital punishment for murder was "not unconstitutionally severe." But the court struck down laws that made the death penalty mandatory (required) for certain crimes. In addition to state laws on capital punishment, the death penalty may be imposed under federal laws or military laws. Capital punishment was widely used during the Middle Ages, especially for crimes against the state and church. In the 1700's, England had more than 200 capital offenses. Most were abolished in the 1800's. The United Kingdom abolished capital punishment in 1969. Canada did so in 1976. The United States is the only Western industrialized nation where executions still take place. According to the organization Amnesty International, about 100 nations either have formally abolished capital punishment or have done so in effect. These countries include most European and Latin American nations. About 90 countries still permit capital punishment, including most developing nations. Many people oppose the death penalty, chiefly because they consider it cruel.

    Technical Data Sheet 1 FNRS 1 BALLOOn Balloon External diameter : 30 metres Payload : 1000 kg Materials : cotton and rubber Fuel : hydrogen Construction : Riedinger Ballon Fabrik (A), in 1931 The balloon was inflated with hydrogen, since the production of helium was too expensive in 1930. The diameter of the inflated balloon was 30 metres, its volume 14,130 m3. The balloon’s payload was 1000 kg and it was therefore clearly oversized in relation to the load to be carried. Its capacity theoretically enabled it to lift a locomotive! The balloon’s envelope consisted of two layers of cotton bonded by an intermediate layer of rubber. The fabric was dyed yellow (chloramine). This colour absorbs part of the sun’s blue, violet and ultraviolet rays. On take-off the balloon took the shape of a pear. It was only at altitude, when the pressure fell, that the balloon became spherical. Gondola External diameter : 2.10 metres Empty weight : 136 kg Crew : 2 men Endurance : 24 hours Thickness : 3.5 mm Materials : aluminium Portholes : glass Average on board temperature : -2 to + 40°C! Manufacturer of gondola : Georges L’Hoir, Liège (B) Interior equipment : Jacques Destappes, mechanic, Brussels (B) In structural terms, the sphere offers the highest volume for the smallest surface area, and therefore the lowest weight. The 2.10 metre diameter meanwhile, according to Auguste Piccard, is “(…) the smallest dimension in which two observers and a great deal of instrumentation can be accommodated”. The first gondola was painted in two colours. It was thus able to present a light or a dark side to the sun.

However, a systematic approach to study the role of transcription factors (TFs) in mediating cancer metabolic rewiring is missing. Here, we chart a genome-scale map of TF-metabolite associations in human using a new combined computational-experimental framework for large-scale metabolic profiling of adherent cell lines, and the integration of newly generated intracellular metabolic profiles of 54 cancer cell lines with transcriptomic and proteomic data. We unravel a large space of dependencies between TFs and central metabolic pathways, suggesting that the regulation of carbon metabolism in tumors may be more diverse and flexible than previously appreciated. This map provides an unprecedented resource to predict TFs responsible for metabolic transformation in patient-derived tumor samples, opening new opportunities in designing modulators of oncogenic TFs and in understanding disease etiology. Introduction Transcription factors (TFs) are at the interface between the cell’s ability to sense and respond to external stimuli or changes in internal cell-state1.

ABSTRACT This thesis considers the imbrications created by James Joyce in his writing with the work of John Milton, through allusions, references and verbal echoes. These imbrications are analysed in light of the concept of ‘presence’, based on theories of intertextuality variously proposed by John Shawcross, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, and Eelco Runia. My analysis also deploys Gumbrecht’s concept of stimmung in order to explain how Joyce incorporates a Miltonic ‘atmosphere’ that pervades and enriches his characters and plot. By using a chronological approach, I show the subtlety of Milton’s presence in Joyce’s writing and Joyce’s strategy of weaving it into the ‘fabric’ of his works, from slight verbal echoes in Joyce’s early collection of poems, Chamber Music, to a culminating mass of Miltonic references and allusions in the multilingual Finnegans Wake.

SPONS AGENCY Rutgers, The State Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Graduate School of Education. PUB DATE Jun 71 NOTE 153p.; Thesis submitted partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$0.65 HC-$6.58 DESCRIPTORS *Directed Reading Activity, *Grade 6, Informal Reading Inventory, *Learning Processes, Reading Achievement, *Reading Comprehension, *Reading Research, Reading Tests ABSTRACT The effects of specific directions on the reading comprehension of sixth-grade students were investigated. Two passages on different topics, each with 20 percent of the sentences relevant to the topic, were materials for two informal tests administered to 92 six-grade students. Half of the students were given specific directions to learn about the relevant topic, and the other half were not. The post-test contained questions on the relevant and incidental materials. A Focus Ability test and the Gates-MacGinitie comprehension subtest followed. Findings showed that(1) the results from the two material sections were in conflict,(2) the ability to identify relevant material in a passage was not related to the ability to learn the relevant material selectively,(3) there was a low positive relationship between the ability to identify relevant material and the standardized measure of reading comprehension, and (4) the informal measure of reading comprehension scores were significantly correlated with the standardized measure of reading comprehension scores. Further research was suggested. Tables, appendixes, and a bibliography are included.
