10. A sudden leap in prosperity is not always beneficial to a city.
(1) Cities that have lost a lot of money do not necessarily suffer economically.
(2) The fact that many wealthy people live in a city does not mean the city is prosperous.
(3) It is not necessarily good for a city to suddenly become much wealthier than it was.
(4) Living in a rich city may seem to have more benefits than it actually does.
11. Medical researchers have discovered that humans can grow new brain cells throughout their
lifetime – even in old age – refuting a long-held assumption.
(1) For many years, it was believed that people could not grow new brain cells, but scientists
have now disproven this notion.
(2) Research has confirmed what medical science has always maintained: the human brain
cannot produce new cells.
(3) People of all ages have the same number of brain cells, a fact that has been proven by
recent scientific investigation.
(4) Scientists now claim that until they reach old age, humans continue to grow new brain
cells.
12. In Western Europe, where people have never relied on the automobile to the same extent that
most people in North America have, rail service has been dramatically enhanced through the
development of specialized systems and technologies.
(1) In Western European countries, rail service is more important than it is in other countries,
yet specialized rail systems and technologies have been developed mainly in North
America, where people rely almost exclusively on automobiles.
(2) Thanks to the development of specialized systems and technologies, there has been a
tremendous improvement in rail service in Western Europe, where people's dependence
on automobiles has always been less extensive than it has been in North America.
(3) It has only recently become apparent that in order to solve the transportation problems of
North America, where most people travel mainly by automobile, specialized systems and
technologies must be imported from Western Europe, where rail service is highly
developed.
(4) Transportation in Western European countries, where people rely more on rail service
than on automobiles, is different from that in North America, where specialized systems
and technologies for rail service exist but are not extensively utilized.
