Iron deficiency is very common among women in general,affecting one in four female teenagers and one in five women aged 18 to 45,respectively. But the ratio is even greater among active women,affecting up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes. This means,Lyle says,that “too many women ignore the amount of iron their take in”. Women of childbearing age are at greatest risk ,since their monthly bleeding is a major source of iron loss. Plus,many health-conscious women increase their risk by rejecting red meat,which contains the most easily absorbed form of iron. And because women often restrict their diet in an effort to control weight,they may not consume enough iron-rich food,and are liable to experience a deficiency. Unit 4

Athough scientists still cannot predict earthquakes,they are learning a great deal about how the large plates in the Earth’s crust move,the stresses between plates,how earthquake work,and the general probability that a given place will have an earthquake. Someday soon it may actually become possible to predict earthquakes with accuracy. However,even if prediction becomes possible,people who live in areas where earthquakes are a common occurrence will still have to do their best to prevent disasters by building structures that are resistant to ground movement and by being personally prepared. These precautions can make a great difference in saving lives and preventing the loss of homes. Education concerning how to survive an earthquake should be a major emphsis for all government programs and earthquake-related research projects. UNIT 7

belongs in the same class as .....,and other great minds who changed the world. The self-decribed “hacker” has dominated the presonal computing revolution and modernized the whole world in the process. Indeed, his classification into any other rank than this would seriously understate his impact on the world. UNIT 9

Romantc love has no bearing on this process,say these lawyers,who consider prenups to be business agreements. Their justification: some 50 percent of all marriages in the US end up on the trash heap.

Moreover,the discussions for a prenuptial agreement,which involve laying bare all one’finances,sometimes save a couple from a terrible marriage. ”it sheds light on issues which could later widen and result in the divorce”, said a lawyer. UNTI 10

We looked at each other with identical expressions. Then it probably dawned on us both that place in which we sat is not the place of men who have been failures in life,and that for boys,being what they are,an occasional push is not such a bad thing. Together we lifted our glasses,and the tensions between us went away. And though neither of us spoke, I know we drank to the memory of our Aunt Carrie.
