Antioxidants are substances – artificial or natural – that prevent and slow cell and tissue damage by attacking free radicals. which are molecules that have an unpaired electron. Free radicals are natural byproducts of our metabolism and are also generated in response to environmental stressors, such as exposure to pollution, X-rays or cigarette smoke. In high quantities. free radicals can cause oxidative stress, which is when the body has too many free radicals that stat to destroy DNA, fatty tissue and proteins. [A]
Unlike free radicals, antioxidants have extra electrons. This means that they can pass their surplus electrons lo free radicals, stabilizing the free radicals so they can no longer damage the body's cells and tissues. In doing so, antioxidants ward off or slow oxidative stress, preventing serious illnesses. Oxidative stress bas been linked with illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and some neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The best way 10 increase antioxidants in the body and maintain a healthy balance of free radicals is to incorporate antioxidant-rich foods into your diet. [B]
The term ·antioxidant' is often used to describe different foods, but it more accurately describes chemical property. Any substance that can strip free radicals of their damaging properties is considered an antioxidant. Researchers have discovered hundreds of substances that fit the antioxidant description, and there are perhaps thousands more. Vitamin C and vitamin E are two of the most common antioxidants found in food. In addition to fighting free radicals, vitamin C supports the immune system and helps repair bones, teeth and cartilage. Vitamin E is a powerful tool in maintaining eye health, producing hormones that regula1e blood pressure and repairing muscles after exercise. Carotenoids- a class of compounds found in fruits and vegetables that are red, orange and yellow - are also well-known antioxidants. Antioxidant carotenoids include beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin. However, taking high doses of some carotenoid supplements, such as beta-carotene. can increase health risks, such as an increased chance of lung cancer in smokers. [C]
Antioxidants are most often in fruits, vegetables and legumes, although they can be found in almost every food group. Fruits contains essential nutrients such as potassium, fibre and folate - nutrients that help maintain blood pressure, lower cholesterol and repair body tissues. Blueberries, cranberries, apples, strawberries and more are all filled with antioxidants. Dried fruits - although often high in processed sugars - have a higher antioxidant ratio than fresh fruits, since they lose mass from water. They act as quick antioxidant fuel due to their high concentration of antioxidants. Carotenoids are found in red, orange or yellow vegetables. Many green vegetables such as kale, broccoli and spinach are excellent sources of antioxidants, namely quercetin and lutein. [D]

Patient zero is generally taken to mean the first case in a disease outbreak — but the term is often applied in different ways. When it comes to zoonotic diseases (ones that jump from animals to humans, like SARS-CoV-2), patient zero might refer to the first-ever human case — the point at which the virus spills over from an animal to a human. For the general public, however, patient zero is often used to refer to the first case in a particular region, or the first case that's come to the attention of health authorities. However, these Are not always the same thing. Sometimes the first case that's notified to us is not the first case in an outbreak. Similarly, just because someone is identified as the first case doesn't mean they spread the disease to anyone else, or behaved irresponsibly — with something like coronavirus, they may not even know they're sick.
This is part of the reason why patient zero is not a term epidemiologists or public health experts tend to use- it's not specific enough. They prefer the term index case to refer to the first person officials became aware of in an outbreak (which gives them a clue something's going on), and primary case to refer to the person who introduces a disease into a new population — a community, country or the world. Sometimes, the primary case and the index case will be the same person, but not always. For many outbreaks — such as HIV/AIDS, and possibly COVID-19 — we will never know the primary case.
While the use of the term patient zero can be fraught, tracing outbreaks back to their beginnings remains important in public health. In the early days of an outbreak, it's still possible to catch embers of disease before they become full-blown fires. “You can actually stamp them out, by identifying every case, tracking every contact, quarantining them, making sure there's no further spread,” Professor Raina Macintyre, head of biosecurity at UNSW's Kirby Institute says. But even after those critical first days or weeks, tracing cases back to patient zero can still give both health experts and relevant authorities for insights into how disease spreads and understands the role that health services and adequate sanitation systems play in controlling the spread of the disease. That’s the purpose of trying to understand an index case or a first case - to establish the opportunity to learn from the breakout and try to make sure it doesn't happen again.
According to the passage which statement is true about SARS-CoV-2?
A. A disease that only appears on animals.
B. A disease that is transmitted between species.
C. A disease that broke out in zoos.
How is the term “patient zero” often as the state by the general public?
A. It refers to the first case in the outbreak of a disease.
B. It is the first patient to be admitted to hospital.
C. It is the first case to die from the outbreak of a disease.
According to the passage what might HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 have in common?
A. People who are immediately aware of their outbreak.
B. The first case that spreads the disease might remain unknown.
C. Their index case and primary case was the same person.
What can be inferred about the use of the term “patient zero”?
A. It means the same thing regardless of who's using it.
B. It's no longer used because it's not specific enough.
C. Its meaning might vary depending on who's using it.
The phrase “stamp…out” can be best replaced by _________
Why does finding patient zero still matter when it is no longer possible to stop an outbreak early?
A. Because it helps decide which is more important, health services or sanitation systems.
B. Because it helps with tracing and quarantining other cases.
C. Because it helps establish who should be held responsible.
What might serve as the best title for the whole reading passage?
A. Tracing patient zero: The only hope to.
B. Tracing patient zero: When experts and authorities disagree.
C. Tracing patient zero: Impossible and worthless.

Every time you're online, you are bombarded by pictures, articles, links and videos trying to tell their story. Unfortunately, not all of these stories are true. Sometimes they want you to click on another story or advertisement at their own site, other times they want to upset people for political reasons. These days it's so easy to share information. These stories circulate quickly, and the result is … fake news There is a range of fake news: from crazy stories which people easily recognise to more subtle types of misinformation. Experts in media studies and online psychology have been examining the fake news phenomenon. Read these tips, and don't get fooled!
1. …
Look at the website where the story comes from. Does it look real? Is the text well written? Are there a variety of other stories or is it just one story? Fake news websites often use addresses that sound like real newspapers, but don't have many real stories about other topics. If you aren't sure, click on the 'About' page and look for a clear description of the organisation.
2. Watch out for fake photos
Many fake news stories use images that are Photoshopped or taken from an unrelated site. Sometimes, if you just look closely at an image, you can see if it has been changed. Or use a tool like Google Reverse Image search. It will show you if the same image has been used in other contexts.
3. Check the story is in other places
Look to see if the story you are reading is on other news sites that you know and trust. If you do find it on many other sites, then it probably isn't fake (although there are some exceptions), as many big news organisations try to check their sources before they publish a story.
4. Look for other signs
There are other techniques that fake news uses. These include using ALL CAPS and lots of ads that pop up when you click on a link. Also, think about how the story makes you feel. If the news story makes you angry, it's probably designed to make you angry.
If you know these things about online news, and can apply them in your everyday life, then you have the control over what to read, what to believe and most importantly what to share. If you find a news story that you know is fake, the most important advice is: don't share it!
