Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. The need to move water great distances from a source to settlements resulted in development of the Roman aqueduct, the most advanced and enduring example being the Pont du Gard in France.
2. The development of train systems in the nineteenth century moved travelers longer distances, but with increased speeds, trains required more advanced bridge design, such as the double span Maidenhead Railroad Bridge in England.
3. The volume of air travel today has increased demand for new airport designs and specialized engineering to create sites where land is scarce or prone to earthquakes. The artificial island engineered at Osaka, Japan, and Renzo Piano's advanced architectural design of the new airport complex there are remarkably beautiful and successful solutions.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
