Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
Something the size of a postage stamp, costing just a penny a piece, could be a medical breakthrough that will save millions of lives. According to biotechnology scientist Hayat Sindi, this tiny piece of paper has the same power as an entire diagnostic laboratory. ‘My mission is to find simple, inexpensive ways to monitor health,’ Sindi says. She believes technology pioneered by a team at Harvard University will make it possible, and she co-founded the charity ‘Diagnostics For All’ to produce and distribute the innovation. In the developing world, powerful drugs are used to combat diseases like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and hepatitis. But these medicines can cause liver damage. In developed countries, doctors monitor liver function frequently and change the medication if they detect problems. But in isolated, rural corners of the world, health monitoring simply doesn’t exist. The tragic result is that millions of people are dying from the same drugs intended to save them. The small piece of paper is a low-tech tool which detects disease by analysing bodily fluids. Positive results, which show up in less than a minute, are indicated by a change in colour on the paper. Sindi’s determination to solve daunting problems should come as no surprise. Despite coming from a modest background, never travelling outside Saudi Arabia or speaking a word of English, she moved to England to attend university. Alone, homesick, and worried that she would fail and dishonour her family, she learned English by watching BBC news. She studied up to 20 hours a day for college entrance exams. Against the odds, she became the first Saudi woman to study biotechnology at Cambridge University. She went on to get a PhD and become a visiting scholar at Harvard University. Sindi’s passion and accomplishments have made her a role model for young women across the Middle East, an inspiration to a new generation. ‘I want all women to believe in themselves and know they can transform society. When I lecture at schools, the first thing I ask children is to draw a picture of a scientist. 99.9% of them draw an old bald man with glasses. When I tell them I’m a scientist, they look so surprised.’ A new foundation that she has launched gives guidance and money to encourage young women who attend university abroad to bring their skills back to their homelands. (Adapted from Life by Helen Stephenson, John Hughes, and Paul Dummett)
