Gadhafi's vow: Will fight to 'last drop of blood'

Associated Press, Cairo | Wed, 02/23/2011 8:04 AM | Headlines
A defiant Moammar Gadhafi vowed to fight to his "last drop of blood" and roared at supporters to
strike back against Libyan protesters to defend his embattled regime Tuesday, signaling an escalation of the
crackdown that has thrown the capital into scenes of mayhem, wild shooting and bodies in the streets.
The speech by the Libyan leader who shouted and pounded his fists on the podium was an all-out call

protesters backed by defecting army units have claimed control over almost the entire eastern half of Libya's
1,000-mile (1,600-kilometer) Mediterranean coast, including several oil-producing areas.
"You men and women who love Gadhafi ... get out of your homes and fill the streets," he said. "Leave
your homes and attack them in their lairs."
Celebratory gunfire by Gadhafi supporters rang out in the capital of Tripoli after the leader's speech,
while in protester-held Benghazi, Libya's second-largest city, people threw shoes at a screen showing his
address, venting their contempt.
State TV showed a crowd of Gadhafi supporters in Tripoli's Green Square, raising his portrait and
waving flags as they swayed to music after the address. Residents contacted by The Associated Press said no
anti-government protesters ventured out of their homes after dark, and gun-toting guards manned checkpoints
with occasional bursts of gunfire heard throughout the city.

Text 8 is for questions 42 to 46
Nowadays many people are obese. There are still arguments whether obesity is a disease or not.
People who say that it is a disease argue that:
1. Obesity, like other diseases, impairs the normal functioning of a body. People who are obese have
excess adipose (or fat) tissue that causes the overproduction of certain molecules and mediators in the
body, which lead to abnormal regulation of food intake and energy expenditure.
2. Obesity decreases a person's life expectancy or can cause death, like other diseases. Obesity in adults
can lead to three years loss of life. Extreme obesity can shorten a person's life span by 10 years
comparable to the decrease in years of life from smoking.
3. Some studies have shown that the hereditability of obesity is about the same as that of height.
Therefore obesity is not the result of peoples lacking willpower to exercise or eat less, but is
genetically predetermined.
4. Diseases have characteristic signs, according to general and medical dictionaries. Obesity has a
characteristic sign--excess fat--which is measured by BMI or increased waist circumference
measures.
5. Obesity is a risk factor for diabetes, hypertension, some cancers, and other diseases. Other risk factors
are also defined as diseases, such as hypertension which is defined as a disease because it is a risk
factor for heart failure and.
On the other hand, many people disagree that obesity is a disease. They say that :
1. Obesity does not necessarily impair the normal functioning of a body as other diseases do. Many
people with a BMI in the obesity range are not physically impaired and live normal lives.
2. Obesity is a matter of personal responsibility. People become obese because they make bad dietary
decisions and do not exercise enough or at all.
3. Obesity is the result of sedentary lifestyles and not illness. For example, compared to 40 years ago,
people today spend more time commuting, sitting in front of a computer, watching television, playing
video games, and generally exercising less.
4. Obesity does not have characteristic signs or symptoms like diseases typically have. The only
characteristic sign of obesity is excess fat, which is the definition of obesity itself. There are also no
symptoms for obesity.
5. Obesity is a preventable risk factor for other diseases, like smoking is a preventable risk factor for
lung cancer or like drinking is a preventable risk factor for alcoholism.
Whether obesity is a disease or not, people, especially who are obese, should take care of their health
carefully, or lead a healthy lifestyle, for example by minding what they eat.
