Passage:
E. coli, a bacterium commonly found in the intestines of humans and animals, can cause a variety of illnesses. While most strains are harmless, certain pathogenic strains can lead to severe infections. Outbreaks of E. coli infections are often linked to contaminated food, particularly undercooked ground beef. Proper food handling and cooking practices are crucial in preventing the spread of E. coli. Antibiotics are typically used to treat severe E. coli infections, but the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains has become a growing concern.
Question:
What is the impact of antibiotic resistance on E. coli infections?
A. Diminished efficacy of antibiotics in combating severe E. coli infections.
B. Increased reliance on alternative treatment approaches.
C. Potential for more widespread and severe E. coli outbreaks.
D. Enhanced effectiveness of antibiotics against pathogenic E. coli strains.

TASK
Give possible causes of hearing loss (e.g., aging, wax buildup, underlying conditions, etc.). Provide home remedies (e.g., olive oil to break up wax, vitamin B12, and vitamin D supplements, etc.).
ANSWERS
LISTENING
Answer: C. Increased risk of infection.
Rationale: The conversation directly addresses the concern that low-quality gloves can tear easily, increasing the risk of exposure to bodily fluids. This exposure can lead to a higher risk of infection for both patients and healthcare workers. While options A and B are also relevant concerns, the primary focus of the conversation is on the potential impact on patient and staff safety due to the use of low-quality gloves.
READING
Answer: A. Diminished efficacy of antibiotics in combating severe E. coli infections.
Rationale: The passage explicitly mentions the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of E. coli as a growing concern. This suggests that the effectiveness of antibiotics in treating severe E. coli infections is declining, making option A the most accurate response. While options B and C are related to antibiotic resistance, they do not directly address the impact on the effectiveness of antibiotics against E. coli. Option D is clearly incorrect as it contradicts the information provided in the passage.
WRITING
Ms. Mihiraa presented with a severe headache of unknown etiology. She was initially managed with intravenous hydration, antiemetic medication, and pain management with intravenous analgesia. She is being placed in a dark and quiet room for therapeutic purposes.
SPEAKING
Mihiraa, hearing loss can be caused by a variety of factors. Age-related changes, such as the deterioration of the tiny hair cells in our inner ear, can contribute to hearing loss. Excessive earwax buildup can also block the ear canal and interfere with sound transmission. Additionally, underlying health conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, can play a crucial role.
To alleviate mild hearing loss, some home remedies may be helpful, Mihiraal. For example, using a few drops of warm olive oil or hydrogen peroxide can soften earwax and promote drainage. Some individuals also report improvements in hearing after taking supplements of vitamin B12 or vitamin D.
