Can technology stop the body from aging? It may sound like something out of a science fiction film, but it may be a reality someday. A company named Calico is partnering with universities to explore this puzzle. So far, the company has focused on looking at Integrated Stress Response (ISR), the process by which the body reacts to stress, a known trigger for aging. Another company called Immusoft is working to program our own cells to treat diseases associated with age. By inserting DNA into cells, the company hopes to help the body produce needed proteins on its own.

Solution

Problem

People get diseases as they age.

Every year, the Girl Scouts of the USA earn around five hundred million dollars by selling cookies. The idea began with the Muskogee, Oklahoma, chapter in 1917. The scouts needed to raise money, so they sold baked goods out of high school cafeterias. Cookie sales soon spread to other chapters around the country. But in 1943 the scouts hit a snag: they couldn't fill cookie orders. America had entered World War II, and many baking supplies weren't available. Sugar and other items were saved for military use. The scouts responded by finding other ways to make money, such as selling Girl Scout calendars.

A. The Girl Scouts couldn't fill cookie orders.

B. In 1917, the Girl Scouts wanted to raise money.

When people swim in the ocean, they may fret about getting stung by jellyfish. Fortunately, most stings are mild and can be treated on the spot. Since stingers are extremely sticky, people need to check for any left in the skin and quickly remove them. Experts recommend scraping them off with a credit card or other piece of plastic. Movement causes the venom to spread. To prevent the spread of toxins, people should stay still. Painful swelling and itching can be treated with hydrocortisone cream.

Match the problems with their solutions.

Solution

People should stay still.

Jellyfish toxins may spread.

Problem

Jellyfish stings may cause discomfort.

People should apply hydrocortisone cream.

Sourdough bread begins with a starter—a mix of flour, water, and wild yeast. Starters can be used again and again, but they require special care. For instance, sourdough has to be kept warm. During the California Gold Rush, miners found a clever way to make sure their starters stayed warm on chilly nights: they cuddled them. In addition, starters must be fed regularly, like pets. What if you wanted to travel and didn't have someone to feed your starter? People in Sweden found the answer: sourdough hotels. In 2012, Stockholm's Urban Deli began boarding starters for travelers.

Match the problems with their solutions.

A. Sourdough starter must be fed.

B. Sourdough starter needs to be protected from the cold.

B

Miners in California snuggled with their starters.

Solution

Sourdough hotels opened in Sweden.

A

The Inuit are a group of native people from the Arctic tundra of North America and Greenland. For thousands of years, traditional Inuit life was shaped by their harsh environment. The tundra is so cold that trees can't grow there. The Inuit people worked around this scarcity of building materials. In the winter, they built igloos, round houses made from blocks of snow. In the summer, they built huts from animal skins stretched over a frame. Most plants can't grow in the tundra, either, which made large-scale agriculture impossible. Instead, the traditional Inuit diet was mostly meat, such as fish, seals, and whales.

Match the problems with their solutions.

No trees grow in the tundra.

The traditional Inuit diet mainly consisted of meat.

Solution

Problem

Almost no plants grow in the tundra.

Traditional Inuit homes were made of snow or animal skins.

The promoters couldn't control the crowd

The festival was held at a dairy farm.

In 1936, Germany constructed the Hindenburg, an airship composed of a metal framework surrounding gas-filled bags. It needed to meet strict weight limits, so chairs were made of lightweight aluminum. Designers wanted to fill the airship with helium, which doesn't burn. There was one issue, though. At the time, only the United States produced helium. Americans feared Germany would use the gas for military purposes, so they refused to sell it. Engineers responded by redesigning the Hindenburg to use flammable hydrogen—a dangerous mistake. In 1937, a hydrogen leak combined with a spark of static electricity, and the airship burst into flames.

Match the problems with their solutions.

Some furnishings were made of aluminum.

Problem

The Hindenburg was redesigned.

The U.S. wouldn't sell helium to Germany.

Solution

The Hindenburg had strict weight limits.
