Answer to Question 1

Inexperienced speakers often make two research mistakes. They do too little research and rely on personal knowledge and experience and they use only the Internet for research. Using information from respected sources shows that you are objective and informed and adds to your credibility. Not all information on the web is authoritative. Some of it is outdated, fallacious, biased, and basically worthless. To avoid mistakes when researching using the internet: Look for authors who are qualified experts; Make sure that the information is objective, accurate, and current; Verify Internet information with at least one non-Internet source; Do not use sites that are not dated (and seek sources newer than 5 years). Remember that hours can be spent on the Internet without finding the needed information, so use multiple search engines.

Answer to Question 2

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
