The spiral and the helix
They are everywhere, (1-GRACE), curving shapes whose incredible (2- REGULAR)

that hardly does (3-JUST) to their diversity or their significance. Over the centuries,
mathematicians have identified many different types, but the most intriguing are those that

The need to (5-RAVEL) the mysteries of the existence of spirals and helices has
exercised some of the best scientific brains in the world and opened the way to a number of
(6-BREAK) in fields as widely varied as genetics and meteorology.
The most (7-SPETACLE) spirals on earth are also the most unwelcome hurricanes.
Their (8-AWE) power comes from the suns heat, but they owe their shape to the force
caused by the rotation of the earth. After (9-NUMBER) years of study, however, Natures
spirals and helices have yet to (10-CLOSE) all their secrets. For example, why, astronomers
wonder, are so many galaxies spiral-shaped?

Children between the ages of 4 and 12 are the most common sufferers of sleepwalking,
however, (1)., somnambulism, as it is observed in adults, increases in severity and
frequency with age. It is reported that more boys sleepwalk than girls and it is between the
ages of 11 and 12 that the most number of cases is reported. Also, many children tend to
grow out of it and because of this, it is surmised (2).that may relate to the
physiology of the younger body and mind that does not relate to adulthood.
Sleepwalking also seems to occur with more intensity or frequency in a person (3).
not remember the incident at all. It is also a common misconception that it is dangerous to
wake a sleepwalker. It is, in fact, more dangerous to not wake a sleepwalker. This is due to
the actions that can be done by a sleepwalker. A person might drive a car, walk out into
traffic, try cooking, etc. All of these actions are highly dangerous to a person
(4)what they are doing.
This disorder can be just a mild annoyance to some but can also be a life-altering disorder to
others. Sleepwalking is more serious than aggressive so the danger lies more with self-injury
than injuries to others. Sleepwalkers are not allowed in the Armed Services at least partly due
to the damage they can cause themselves and also partly to the fact (5)
Treatments can range from relaxation techniques to anti-depressant medications.

[4: ______ ]
In the future, it should be possible to develop a more individual approach to training
programs. Athletes will keep detailed diaries and collect data to help predict the point when
training becomes overtraining, the cause of many injuries. If athletes fee all the information
into a database, it may then be possible to predict patterns and to advise them individually
when they should cut down.
[5: ______ ]
Combining the right diet with a training program is vital. Athletes are continually searching
for that special go-faster ingredient, but apparently its still a battle to get them to drink
sufficient liquid and to follow a balanced healthy diet throughout all phases of training,
competition and recovery. Diet in the period after an event is particularly important and often
neglected. An athlete who doesnt replace all the liquid lost immediately after a hard run
wont be able to repeat the performance at the same level 24 hours later.
