(4) ____________________________.
In 2002, a British TV team visited Daniel Tammet in order to test his (5) ____________________
to calculate large numbers. The examiners were stunned by the results. Daniel was even
able to outdo the computer. He can cite numbers by (6) ____________________ shapes on the
table with his fingers. In addition, Daniel can speak 11 languages (7) ____________________
and claims that he can learn any foreign language within a week.
In March 2004, another experiment was (8) ____________________ out in front of a live
audience. Daniel Tammet stated that he could recite 22 500 decimal places of the constant
pi, an infinite number with no certain pattern. He completed this (9) ____________________
successfully in over five hours.
In another test Daniel was given a week to learn a totally new language, Icelandic, and then
chat with presenters on live television. (10) ____________________ to locals, Icelandic is
difficult to learn and nearly impossible to speak because of many funny sounds. It normally
takes some time to (11) ____________________ to the sounds of a new language. But as time

control pills. But that may (2) _______________________ . Doctors and
other health officials are discussing whether this kind of family

The pill was first (4) _____________________ fifty years ago. With it the birth rate sank in countries

Today the pill is the most common form of birth control in the USA. More than 45 million female

there are still many unwanted babies and about 4,000 abortions every day.
Those in favour of the (7) ___________________ say that, if offered, the number of unexpected teenage
pregnancies would go down dramatically. Most of the females on college campuses are in favour of

campus they could just go to the health (10) ___________________ centre and get them. In other cases,
they just don’t want to tell their parents they are taking the pill.
Those against the suggestion say that it would lead to sexual promiscuity and diseases might be

correctly if it should work. And it also has a number of side effects that doctors warn about. Some
women put on weight or get nervous quickly.
Some health experts talk about other ways of (12) ____________________ pregnancies. In their opinion
it would be better to teach young women about fertility and when they can get pregnant.
