| Questions 4 through 7 refer to the following short article. Science Life Weekly: A review of the New Scientist Seminar
Many different topics were being discussed at the New Scientist Seminar held last Saturday at the Royal Port Convention Center in Centerville. This international seminar, held annually, provides a chance for some of the world’s top scientists to present new ideas and research. Dr. Thomas Avery, a leading expert in the field of medical ethics, gave the most interesting presentation called, “What if people were eaten by cows?" The main idea was about how we would feel if we were kept in a small field all our lives and then used for food. The presentation was humorous, but it also made people think about how we treat the animals that we eat. Dr. Avery said, "I was given an invitation only last week, so I had little time to prepare." However, everyone agreed that it was the best presentation of the day. People came from all over the world to attend this year’s seminar. One professor from India said, “I have been coming to these seminars for twenty years. This is the best one ever." Next year's seminar will be held in Beijing. This will be the first time that the seminar has been held in Asia. |
