BIO-PRINTING

It is already possible to 'print' three-dimensional objects out of plastic and metal using a 3-D printer. Now scientists are developing printers that will be able to print human organs and body parts. If they are successful, doctors could save millions of lives. At themoment, scientists are able to print human tissue and bone, but the printing of whole organs will probably be a reality by 2025. Doctors are certain that bio-printing will revolutionise the treatment of cancer and heart disease. Moreover, if we can produce organs such as hearts and kidneys, patients won't die while they're waiting for an organ donor. The technology is very expensive and the cost might not come down for a while. But when it does, bio-printing could play an important part in all our lives.

VII. The text below has eight words that should not be there. Find them, underline and write them down in the boxes below. (2 points):

Surveys have shown that people not only fear going to the dentist, they also seem to be afraid of brushing their teeth! Everyone knows how much scary the sound of a dentist's drill is, and how unpleasant the smells in the waiting room are, and before going to the dentist we all imagine horrible things to happening. Since this is the case, why do so many people not bother to prevent from dental problems in the first place by taking a proper care of their teeth?

Dentists are being horrified by the number of people who visit them only when they cannot stand the pain of a bad tooth any longer and the tooth in the question has to be pulled out. To have healthy, problem-free teeth you should have brush for three to five minutes at least twice a day, replace with your toothbrush every three months and visit the dentist for a check-up twice a year - then you'll have no more dental nightmares!
