Ways to Avoid Sore Muscles
Sore muscles are often the result of pushing your body too hard or too fast. If you’re hoping to head back to
the gym, you’ll want to check out our tips.
1) Load up on antioxidants: Several studies find that taking antioxidants for 2 weeks before beginning a new
exercise program can minimize muscle soreness and help maintain muscle function. Take a combined
product containing vitamin C, vitamin E and at beta-carotene.
2) Start slowly: Get your body accustomed to physical activity before taking on a big project or workout
regimen. When you’re ready to get back on your bicycle, do it for a bit at a time. The same goes for turning
over the garden or reorganizing the garage.
3) Mix up your workouts: If you’re doing weight or resistance training, don’t work the same muscle groups
every day. Write down what your daily workout consists of, ideally in advance, but afterwards is good, too.

Achaeans are people of an ancient region in the northern Peloponnesus, Greece. The term was broadly used
by Homer to designate all the inhabitants of ancient Greece. According to Greek mythology, the Achaeans
were descendants of Achaeus, grandson of Hellen, the legendary ancestor of the Hellenes, or Greeks. The
region where they lived was known as Achaea. References to the western kingdom of Ahhiawa in Hittite
documents of the 13th and 14th centuries BC have been thought by some scholars to refer to the ancient city
of Mycenae under Achaean domination. These documents characterize the Achaeans as a maritime people
inhabiting western Asia Minor and the island of Lésvos in the Aegean Sea. In the Homeric period (circa 7th
century BC) the Achaeans controlled southern Thessaly (Thessalia) and most of the Pelopónnisos, but from
the 6th to the 2nd century BC they were restricted to a narrow strip on the north coast of the Pelopónnisos. In
the 4th century BC they formed a confederation of states known as the Achaean League.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil; 250 g cherry tomatoes; 2 cloves garlic; 1⁄2 cup (75 g) pitted kalamata olives, halved; 2
tablespoons capers; 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest; 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves; black pepper; 4
blue-eye fillets or other thick firm white fillets; 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley.

Ernest Shackleton (1874-1922) led three expeditions to the Antarctic, on one of them coming within 179 km
(111 ml) of reaching the South Pole—the closest anyone had come at that time. Shackleton is most
remembered for leading the fabled Endurance expedition, in which his men survived for ten months on ice
floes and on a barren uninhabited island after their ship was crushed by pack ice in the Weddell Sea.
Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton was born in County Kildare, Ireland, the eldest son and second of ten children of
a Quaker doctor and his wife. The Shackleton family motto was the Latin phrase Fortitudine Vincimus (by
endurance we conquer). Shackleton attended Dulwich College in London, England, for three years before
going to sea at age 16. He spent the next 11 years in the merchant marine. In 1901 Shackleton joined the

I was nine when I spoke to Dad for the last time. I’d forgotten to thank him for a birthday present. I believe it

was crying as hard as I was.
Ten years later, he’d finally succeeded in drinking himself dead. As I stood over his coffin, I was out of tears.

Questions 45– 47 refer to the text below.
Managed Intensive Rotational Grazing (MIRG), also known as cell grazing, mob grazing and holistic managed
planned grazing, is a variety of forage use in which herds/flocks are regularly and systematically moved to
fresh, rested grazing areas to maximize the quality and quantity of forage growth. MIRG can be used with
cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, ducks and other animals. The herds graze one portion of pasture,
or a paddock, while allowing the others to recover. Resting grazed lands allows the vegetation to renew energy
reserves, rebuild shoot systems, and deepen root systems, resulting in long-term
maximum biomass production. MIRG is especially effective because grazers thrive on the more tender
younger plant stems. MIRG also leave parasites behind to die off minimizing or eliminating the need for de-
wormers. Pasture systems alone can allow grazers to meet their energy requirements.

Questions 48– 50 refer to the text below.


Turmeric
Turmeric may have been protecting the health of an entire Indian subcontinent for about 5,000 years. A
traditional Indian diet features white rice and flour breads, which as rapidly digested carbs would ordinarily
raise blood sugar dramatically. But the presence of turmeric – the yellow spice that lends its color to many
curry dishes – helps to manage the potent impact on blood sugar. Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric,
is the compound believed to regulate fat metabolism in the body. Curcumin acts directly on fat cells, pancreatic
cells, kidney cells and muscle cells, dampening inflammation and blocking the nefarious activities of cancer-
causing tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-6. Experts believe the combined action of all of these factors
together gives curcumin the power to reverse insulin resistance, high blood sugar and high cholesterol, and
other symptoms linked to obesity.
