The mysteries of the skies

bumpy and imperfect. He realized that although the moon might appear (3) , resembling a still life painted by the hand of a cosmic (4) , it was a real world, perhaps not very different from our own. This amounted to a great (5) hardly to be expected in his day and age, although nowadays his (6) may appear to some to be trivial and (7) . Not long after Galileo lunar’s observations, the skies which had previously been so (8) revealed more of their extraordinary mysteries. Casting around for further wonders, Galileo focused his lens on the (9) planet of Jupiter. Nestling next to it, he saw four little points of light circling the distant planet. Our moon it appeared, perhaps (10) _ in the eyes of those fearful of what the discovery might mean, was not alone!

KEEPING YOUR DISTANCE

Personal space is a term that refers to the distance we like to 0

keep between ourselves and other people. When someone we do not 00 someone

know well gets too close that we usually begin to feel uncomfortable. 1 _

If such a business colleague comes closer than 1.2 meters, the most 2 _

common response is to move away. Some interesting studies have 3 _

been done in libraries. If strangers will come too close, many people 4 _

get up and leave the building, others use to different methods such as 5 _

turning their back on the intruder. Living in cities has made people to 6 _

develop new skills for dealing with situations where they are very 7 _

close to strangers. Most people on so crowded trains try not to look at 8 _

strangers; they avoid skin contract, and apologize if hands touch by a 9 _

mistake. People use newspapers as a barrier between themselves and 10 _

other people, and if they do not have one, they stare into the distance,

making sure they are not looking into anyone’s eyes.

PART III. READING

I. Complete the following passage by choosing A, B, C or D to fill in each blank.

In recent years, there has been a remarkable increase into happiness. The researchers have come up a number of factors which contribute to a definition of happiness.

First of all, there is, in some people, a moderate genetic predisposition to be happy, in other words, happiness (1) in families. And happiness seems to correlate quite strongly with the main dimensions of personalities: extroverts are generally happier, neurotics are less so.

Second, people often report good social relations as a reason for their happiness. In particular, friends are a great (2) of joy, partly because of the agreeable things they do together, partly because of the way friends use positive non-verbal (3) such as caressing and touching, to affirm their friendship. Marriage and similar (4) relationships can also form the basis of lasting happiness.

Third, job satisfaction undoubtedly (5) overall satisfaction, and vice versa - perhaps this is why some people are happy in boring jobs: it (6) both ways. Job satisfaction is caused not only by the essential nature of the work, but (7) by social interactions with co-workers. Unemployment, on the contrary, can be a serious cause of unhappiness.

Fourth, leisure is important because it is more under individual (8) than most other causes of happiness. Activities (9) sport and music, and participation in voluntary work and social clubs of various kinds, can give great joy. This is partly because of the (10) themselves, but also because of the social support of other group members – it is very strong in the case of religious groups.

1. A. runs B. arrives C. goes D. descends

II. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct option (marked A, B, C or D) to answer the questions.

Scientists have established that influenza viruses taken from man can cause disease in animals. In addition, man can catch the disease from animals. In fact, a greater numbers of wild birds seem to carry the virus without showing any evidences of illness. Some scientists conclude that a large family of influenza virus may have evolved in the bird kingdom, a group that has been on earth 100 million years and is able to carry the virus without contracting the disease. There is even convincing evidence to show that virus strain are transmitted from place to place and from continent to continent by migrating birds.

It is known that two influenza viruses can recombine when both are present in an animal at the same time. The result of such recombination is a great variety of strains containing different H and N spikes. This raises the possibility that a human influenza virus can recombine with an influenza virus from a lower animal to produce an entirely new spike. Research is underway to determine if that is the way major new strains come into being. Another possibility is that two animal influenza strains may recombine in a pig, for example, to produce a new strain which is transmitted to man.

A. cause ill health in wild animals B. do not always cause symptoms in birds

C. are rarely present in wild birds D. change when transmitted from animals to man

 A. It was first found in a group of very old birds. B. All the different strains can be found in wild birds.

C. It existed over 100 million years ago. D. It can survive in many different places.

3. According to the passage, a great variety of influenza strains can appear when .

A. H and N spikes are produced B. animal and bird viruses are combined

C. dissimilar types of viruses recombine D. two viruses of the same type are contracted

4. New strains of viruses are transmitted to man by .

A. a type of wild pig B. diseased lower animals

C. a group of migrating birds D. a variety of means

5. It can be inferred from the passage that all of the following are ways of producing new strains of influenza EXCEPT .

A. two influenza viruses in the same animal recombining

B. animal viruses recombining with human viruses

C. two animal viruses recombining

D. two animal viruses recombining in a human

III. Read the passage and choose the best answer from the four options marked A, B, C or D in the following questions. Identify your answer by writing the corresponding letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.

Several hundred million years ago, plants similar to modern ferns covered vast stretches of the land. Some were as large as trees, with giant fronds bunched at the top of trunks as straight as pillars. Others were the size of bushes and formed thickets of undergrowth. Still others lived in the shade of giant club mosses and horsetails along the edges of swampy lagoons where giant amphibians swam. A great number of these plants were true ferns, reproducing themselves without fruits or seeds. Others had only the appearance of ferns. Their leaves had organs of sexual reproduction and produced seeds. Although their “flowers” did not have corollas, these false ferns (today completely extinct) ushered in the era of flowering plants. Traces of these floras of the earliest times have been preserved in the form of fossils. Such traces are most commonly found in shale and sandstone rocks wedged between coal beds. Today only tropical forests bear living proof of the ancient greatness of ferns. The species that grow there are no longer those of the Carboniferous period, but their variety and vast numbers, and the great size of some, remind us of the time when ferns ruled the plant kingdom.

The gases from the exhausts of cars have also risen air pollution in most

cities. The lead in petrol produces a poisoned gas which often collects in

busy streets surrounding by high buildings. Children who live in areas

where there is a lot of lead in the atmosphere cannot think as quick as other

children and they are clumsy where they use their hands. There are long-term

effects of pollution. If the gases in the atmosphere continues to increase, the

earth's climate will become warmer. A lot of ice near the Poles may water and

may cause serious floods.
