University Admission Test English Dhaka University - A (Ka) Unit Admission Question 2017- 2018 Session English Questions' Answers with Explanation English (MCQ) Read the following passage and answer questions 1-5. Ageing is a normal process of human development that takes place on several levels: biological, psychological and social. Although it is not certain what causes ageing, most gerontologists would agree that ageing is the result of a combination of both internal and external processes. The “wear-and-tear theory” compares the human body to a machine that over time wears down from use. According to this theory, bodily systems receive cumulative damage from both external forces, such as stress, the environment, diet, and life style; and internal forces, such as toxins, released as a result of metabolism. Cells become damaged and increasingly fail to reproduce or repair themselves. They die off in larger numbers as we age. The “combination theory” explains that although individuals can prolong life by modifying outside influences such as stress and diet, each person is born with a genetically predetermined life expectancy that cannot be exceeded. This interaction of external factors and internal programming would account for individual variations in the life span. The mystery surrounding why we age is still a topic of numerous ongoing studies. Perhaps, one day we will truly know why we age.    01.
