UNIT 3
READING AND COMPREHENSION
Task: Read the text and then do the comprehension tasks
Text 1
1. Even a muddy pond contributes to the ecosystem that affects the
environment. 2. A vernal or springtime pool is only a few feet deep and lasts only
from March until midsummer but yields a considerable number of diverse life
forms. 3. Like all of nature, there are predators and victims, and a particular living
being may be one or the other, depending on its age and characteristics. 4. One
may find masses of spotted salamander eggs floating just under the surface of the
pond, left behind by adults who entered the pond early in the season before
predators arrived. 5. Other amphibians and reptiles return to the recurrent pond
year after year to reproduce, as their ancestors have done for years. 6. Various
forms of algae grow well in the murky water, if there is sufficient sunlight. 7. They
in turn produce and transmit oxygen to the salamander embryos and other young
that are not yet able to survive outside of water. 8. Diving beetles feast on eggs and
larvae deposited in the pond by the salamanders and other amphibians that have
called it home. 9. Tadpoles are born in the late spring and feed on the algae. 10.
The pond also invites wood frogs staking their territory and courting potential

1. Scientists have experimented with a new procedure for alleviating the
damage caused by strokes. 2. Strokes are frequently caused by a blood clot in the
tree of arteries in the head. 3. The current method of reducing the amount of
damage is to give a drug, known as TPA, as soon as possible, but, unfortunately,
generally TPA is not given to the patient until he reaches the hospital. 4. The new
technology, still in the research stage, involves chilling the area or the entire
patient. 5. It is already known that when an organ is cooled, damage is slowed. 6.
This is why sometimes a person who has fallen into an icy pond is not significantly
harmed after being warmed up again. 7. The biggest issue is the method of cooling.
8. It is not feasible to chill the head alone. 9. Doctors have chilled the entire body
by wrapping the patient in cold materials, but extreme shivering was a problem. 10.
The new idea is to cool the patient from the inside out. 11. Several companies are
studying the use of cold-tipped catheters, inserted into the artery and threaded up to
the inferior vena cava, which is a large vein that supplies blood to the abdomen. 12.
The catheter is expected to cool the blood that flows over it, thus allowing cooler
blood to reach the area of the stroke damage. 13. It is not expected that the cooling
will be substantial, but even a slight decrease in temperature is thought to be
helpful. 14. Studies continue to determine the most effective and least damaging
means of cooling the patient in order to reduce this damage.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
a) causes and effects of strokes;
b) new pharmaceutical methods for reducing stroke damage that are being

110
e) other.
2. The main idea of the text is that
a) it is impossible to avoid strokes;
b) strokes are frequently caused by a blood clot in the tree of arteries in the head;
c) chilling is an effective method of reducing the damage produced by a stroke;
d) drugs are not helpful in stopping the chain reaction;
e) other.
3. According to the passage, what causes a stroke?
a) a blood clot sticking in an area of the brain; b) low blood flow; c) hot blood;
d) a patient choking on food; e) other.
4. The word shivering in the ninth sentence is closest in meaning to
a) shaking;
b) delirious;
c) sick;
d) dying;
e) other.
5. The word substantial in the thirteenth sentence is closest in meaning to
a) considerable;
b) slight;
c) unsubstantiated;
d) effective;
e) other.
6. In the passage, the author implies that
a) the internal chilling process has not been proven yet;
b) drug therapy properly addresses all the problems of stroke victims;
c) chilling the head alone is viable;
d) nothing is likely to reduce the chain reaction problem;
e) other.
7. The author describes a person falling into cold water in order to
a) evoke sympathy;
b) show that cooling a body does not necessarily harm it;
c) show how one who falls into cold water could also benefit from the internal
chilling research;
d) describe the warming process;
e) other.
8. The author implies that
a) the catheter is moved all the way to the brain;
b) the artery in the leg connects directly to the brain;
c) the artery in the leg connects to the vena cava;
d) the goal is to chill the brain directly with the catheter;
e) other.
9. What is the catheter inserted for?
a) to reach the area of the stroke damage;
111
b) to stop a stroke;
c) to cool the blood that flows over it;
d) to find out if the procedure is painful;
e) other.
10. According to the text, the problem, which is still under consideration, is
a) providing all the patients with the new technology;
b) determining the least damaging means of cooling the patient;
c) keeping the patients close to cold ponds;
d) prevention of strokes;
e) other.

1. Bees, classified into over 10,000 species, are insects found in almost
every part of the world except the northernmost and southernmost regions. 2. One
commonly known species is the honeybee, the only bee that produces honey and
wax. 3. Humans use the wax in making candles, lipsticks, and other products, and
they use the honey as a food. 4. While gathering the nectar and pollen, bees are
simultaneously helping to fertilize the flowers on which they land. 5. Many fruits
and vegetables would not survive if bees did not carry the pollen from blossom to
blossom. 6. Bees live in a structured environment and social structure within a
hive, which is a nest with storage space for the honey. 7. The different types of
bees each perform a unique function. 8. The worker bee carries nectar to the hive
in a special stomach called a honey stomach. 9. Other workers make beeswax and
shape it into a honeycomb, which is a waterproof mass of six-sided compartments,
or cells. 10. The queen lays eggs in completed cells. 11. As the workers build more
cells, the queen lays more eggs. 12. All workers, like the queen, are female, but the
workers are smaller than the queen. 13. The male honeybees are called drones;
they do no work and cannot sting. 14. They are developed from unfertilized eggs,
and their only job is to impregnate a queen. 15. The queen must be fertilized in
order to lay worker eggs. 16. During the season when less honey is available and
the drone is of no further use, the workers block the drones from eating the honey
so that they will starve to death.

1. Diabetes is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism resulting from
insufficient production of hormone insulin or reduced sensitivity to insulin. 2.
There are two varieties of the disease, Type 1 and Type 2. 3. In Type 1 diabetes,
insulin is not secreted by the pancreas, so it must be injected. 4. This type of
diabetes is most often seen in people whose parents or other close relatives are
affected by the disease. 5. Type 2, representing 90 percent of all diabetes, results
from sluggish pancreatic insulin secretion and tissue resistance to secreted insulin.
6. People who are at risk for this type include: women who have delivered a baby
of 9 pounds or more; people over 45 years of age, particularly those of AfricanAmerican, Asian-American, Hispanic, Native American, or Pacific Islander

1. It was previously believed that dinosaurs were cold-blooded creatures,
like reptiles. 2. However, a recent discovery has led researchers to believe they
may have been warm-blooded. 3. The fossilized remains of a 66 million-year-old
dinosaur’s heart were discovered and examined by x-ray. 4. The basis for the
analysis that they were warm-blooded is the number of chambers in the heart as
well as the existence of a single aorta. 5. Most reptiles have three chambers in their
hearts, although some do have four. 6. But those that have four chambers, such as
the crocodile, have two arteries to mix the oxygen-heavy blood with oxygen-lean
blood. 7. Reptiles are cold-blooded, meaning that they are dependent on the
environment for body heat. 8. Yet the fossilized heart had four chambers in the
heart as well as a single aorta. 9. The single aorta means that the oxygen-rich blood
was completely separated from the oxygen-poor blood and sent through the aorta
to all parts of the body. 10. Mammals, on the other hand, are warm-blooded,
meaning that they generate their own body heat and are thus more tolerant of
temperature extremes. 11. Birds and mammals, because they are warm blooded,
move more swiftly and have greater physical endurance than reptiles. 12. Scientists
believe that the evidence now points to the idea that all dinosaurs were actually
warm-blooded. 13. Ironically, the particular dinosaur in which the discovery was
made was a Tescelosaurus, which translates to “marvellous lizard.” A lizard, of
course, is a reptile.
1. The best title for the passage is

1. Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meateating dinosaur ever to walk the earth. 2. The discovery was made by a team of
researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia, a desert on the
eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. 3. Besides the interesting fact that
the dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of
a number of the dinosaurs were found together. 4. This discovery challenges the
prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived as loners and instead indicates that
they may have lived and hunted in packs. 5. The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in North
America and was believed to hunt and live alone. 6. The newly discovered meateater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely related to
it as a fox would be to a dog. 7. It is actually not of the same family at all as the
Tyrannosaurus Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog. 8. The
fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago. 9.

1. Scientists have developed a new bionic computer chip that can be mated
with human cells to combat disease. 2. The tiny device, smaller and thinner than a
strand of hair, combines a healthy human cell with an electronic circuitry chip. 3.
Doctors can control the activity of the cell by controlling the chip with a computer.
4. It has long been established that cell membranes become permeable when
exposed to electrical impulses. 5. Researchers have conducted genetic research for
years with a trial-and-error process of bombarding cells with electricity in an
attempt to introduce foreign substances such as new drug treatments or genetic
material. 6. They were unable to apply a particular level of voltage for a particular
purpose. 7. With the new invention, the computer sends electrical impulses to the
chip, which triggers the cell’s membrane pores to open and activate the cell in
order to correct diseased tissues. 8. It permits physicians to open a cell’s pores with
control. 9. Researchers hope that eventually they will be able to develop more
advanced chips whereby they can choose a particular voltage to activate particular
tissues, whether they be muscle, bone, brain, or others. 10. They believe that they

1. The omnipresent bar code was developed more than twenty years ago. 2.
Much less expensive than a computer chip, the bar code can hold more information
by adding a second dimension to the structure. 3. The bar code consists of a series
of parallel vertical bars or lines of two different widths, although sometimes four
widths are used, printed in black on a white background. 4. Barcodes are used for
entering data into a computer system. 5. The traditional bar code has been used to
monitor skiers at ski lifts and to determine price and perform inventory control on
groceries, drugs, medical supplies, manufactured parts, and library books. 6. The
bar code used on grocery products, introduced in the 1970s, is called a universal
product code (or UPC) and assigns each type of food or grocery product a unique
code. 7. The five digits on the left are assigned to a particular manufacturer or
maker and the five digits on the right are used by that manufacturer to identify a
specific type or make of product. 8. Traditional single dimension bar codes are not
readily customizable because there is little extra space. 9. The two-dimensional bar
code allows a considerably greater amount of information to be coded. 10. It also
has built-in redundancy, meaning that the identical information is duplicated on the
same code. 11. Therefore, if the code is damaged, it can still be read. 12. The new
technology dramatically reduces the errors of the single dimensional bar code and
reduces the costs that some companies have reported in the past.

1. A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey
shows that strange animal behaviour might help predict earthquakes. 2.
Investigators found such occurrences within a ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter
of a fairly recent earthquake. 3. Scientists believe that animals can perceive
environmental changes several hours or even days before the mishap. 4. Animals
were noted as being restless for several weeks before a Tashkent, Uzbekistan,
earthquake. 5. In 1960, an earthquake struck Agadir in Morocco. 6. Survivors
recall that stray animals, including dogs, were seen streaming out of town before
the earthquake. 7. In a safari zoo near San Francisco, llamas would not eat the
evening before the 1979 quake, and they ran around wildly at night. 8. British
Admiral Robert Fitzroy reported huge flocks of screaming seabirds over
Conception, Chile, in 1835. 9. An hour and a half later, dogs were seen fleeing, and
ten minutes later the town was destroyed. 10. Similar stories of chickens running
around in apparent states of panic, horses trembling, and dogs barking incessantly
were recorded throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by survivors of
earthquake destruction in India, Yugoslavia, Peru, Mexico, and the United States.
11. In 1976, after monitoring bizarre animal behaviour, the Chinese predicted a
devastating earthquake. 12. Although hundreds of thousands people were killed,
the government was able to evacuate millions of other people and thus keep the
death toll at a lower level.

1. The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. 2.
Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has,
at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. 3. Some research has shown that
perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are elated to diet and forty percent of
cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. 4. People of
different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the
characteristic food they consume. 5. That food is related to illness is not a new
discovery. 6. In 1945, government researcher realised that nitrates and nitrites
(commonly used to preserve colour in meats) as well as other food additives
caused cancer. 7. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it
becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaging
labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. 8. The additives that we eat are not
all so direct. 9. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of
this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. 10. Sometimes similar
drugs are administered to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial
reasons. 11. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a
higher price on the market. 12. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue. 13. Wellmeaning farmers or others who do not realise the consequences add harmful
substances to food without our knowledge.

1. The pain of a migraine headache can virtually disable a person who
suffers from it. 2. A migraine is not at all the same as a normal headache. 3. One
symptom of a migraine is a precursor, which is a visual aura before an attack. 4.
Yet only about a third of patients actually experience that. 5. Other symptoms
include increased pain when a person moves, nausea and sensitivity to light and
sound. 6. Scientists now believe that migraines are caused not by abnormal blood
vessels as previously believed, but by a unique electrical disorder of brain cells. 7.
Physicians used to treat migraines with medicine to constrict blood vessels because
of the belief that dilated blood vessels were the cause. 8. The new research has
been enhanced by imaging devices that allow scientists to watch patients’ brains
during an attack. 9. The results show that sufferers have abnormally excitable
neurons. 10. Prior to the attack, the neurons suddenly fire off electrical pulses at
the back of the brain, which ripple like waves on a lake. 11. The pain then
generates possibly from the brain stem itself or from blood vessels inflamed by the
rapidly changing blood flow. 12. Scientists have experimented by applying a
powerful magnet to stimulate the neurons and discovered that when stimulation
was applied to the brains of people who had suffered migraines, they saw the initial
aura, and some actually suffered migraines. 13. When the same stimulation was
applied to the brains of people who had never suffered migraines, they realized no

1. For a time, the Hubble telescope was the subject to the wrath of those
who believed the U.S. government had spent too much money on space projects. 2.
The Hubble was sent into orbit in 1990 amid huge hope and expectation. 3. Yet
after it was in position, it simply did not work, because the primary mirror was
misshapen. 4. In 1993 the crew of the Shuttle Endeavour arrived like mechanics
and replaced the defective mirror. 5. Suddenly, all that had originally been
expected came true. 6. The Hubble telescope was really the “window on the
universe,” as it had originally been dubbed. 7. When you look deep into space, you
are actually looking back through time, because even though light travels at
186,000 miles a second, it requires time to get from one place to another. 8. The
Hubble telescope is looking back eleven billion years to see galaxies already
forming. 9. Hubble has viewed exploding stars such as the Etta Carinae. 10. Prior
to Hubble, it was visible from traditional telescopes, but its details were not
ascertainable. 11. Hubble has also provided a close look at black holes. 12. The
Hubble telescope was named after Edwin Hubble, a 1920s astronomer who
developed a formula that expresses the proportional relationship of distances
between clusters of galaxies and the speeds at which they travel. 13. Astronomers
use stars known as Cepheid variables to measure distances in space. 14. These stars
dim and brighten from time to time, and they are photographed over time and
charted. 15. The discoveries made by Hubble have allowed astronomers to learn
more about the formation of early galaxies.
1. The author states that the Hubble was not always popular because
a) people were afraid of what might be found.

1. Lightning has been a mystery since early times. 2. People of ancient
civilizations believed angry gods threw lightning bolts from the sky. 3. Nobody
understood that lightning resulted from electricity until Ben Franklin flew a kite
with a key dangling from the string, and it was struck by lightning. 4. Now it is
known that lightning has a scientific cause. 5. Within a storm cloud, friction from
water and ice laden clouds creates a negative charge at the bottom of the cloud. 6.
When that charge grows too great for the air to hold it back, it is united with a
positive charge from the Earth, creating a channel of electricity that flows between
the two points. 7. The charge remains invisible as it moves towards the ground
until it meets the charge rising from the ground. 8. Once they meet, a fifty thousand
degree current superheats the air around the channel, resulting in an explosion of
sound known as thunder. 9. It is known that lightning can actually strike up to 25
miles from the centre of a storm, which occurs when lightning originates under a
cloud but travels horizontally for a time before turning towards earth. 10. Thunder
is only heard up to ten miles from where lightning strikes, so it is possible to be
struck by lightning without even realizing there is a storm in the area. 11.
Generally, people are injured by lightning when they are in the open, near or in
water, or near tall structures like trees. 12. The victim may be thrown, lose
consciousness, be burned, die, or suffer permanent injury.
1. According to the passage, the first recorded evidence that lightning came

1. Collecting coins can be a good investment, but it requires the study of
popularity, availability, and grading techniques. 2. Some coins are more desirable
than others, their popularity being affected by the artists’ talent, the subject of the
design, the material from which the coin is made, and the period when the coin was
created. 3. Availability is just as critical. 4. The ability to grade coins is perhaps the
most important requirement of a collector. 5. A coin that is popular and scarce,
which would normally make it valuable, may be worth much less or nothing at all
if it has a low grade. 6. Grading is standardized, and one can buy books and take
courses on how to do it. 7. Grades are given letter designations as well as numbers.
8. The letters represent general levels of the grade, while the numbers are more
detailed. 9. For example, there are 11 number grades within the letter grade for a
mint state coin. 10. A mint state coin is uncirculated, which means it has never
been used in commerce. 11. It takes much training and a good eye to tell the
difference between coins in this range. 12. The things one considers include
whether the coin has contact marks, which are marks obtained when coins bounce
against each other in a coin bag; hairlines, which are marks appearing on the face
of the coin from the minting process; luster, which is the natural coloration; and
eye appeal. 13. Books and publications monitor the coin market regularly, just like
the stock market is monitored, and they describe a coin’s type, date, and grade,
assigning a price to every one unless that grade would have no value.
1. The word talent in the second sentence is closest in meaning to

1. A new procedure has been developed to treat aneurysms, particularly
those that occur near the brain stem, where surgery is dangerous. 2. Aneurysms are
blood sacs formed by enlargement of the weakened wall of arteries or veins,
something like hernia. 3. They are dangerous and must be removed before they
cause considerable damage. 4. If one ruptures, it can cause strokes or fatal
haemorrhaging. 5. Brain aneurysms occur in approximately 5 percent of the
population. 6. Most patients are between 40 and 65 years old, with haemorrhages
most prevalent in those between 50 and 54. 7. The new procedure involves
inserting a soft, flexible micro-catheter through the femoral artery in the groin area
and snaking it up through blood vessels to the brain. 8. Inside the catheter is a
small, coiled wire, which can be extruded after it reaches its destination. 9. After
the coil is outside the catheter, a low voltage electrical current is applied, and the
coil detaches at a preset solder point. 10. Additional coils are snaked through the
catheter and also detached at the site, creating a basket which causes the blood to
clot around it. 11. The micro-catheter is withdrawn, the clot remains, and the
healed aneurysm no longer is exposed to the stress that can cause another rupture.
12. The procedure lasts two hours, which is half as long as invasive surgery, and
recovery time is generally limited to a few days instead of a few weeks. 13. The
procedure is available in various hospitals where there are advanced neurology
departments and specialists trained in the procedure.
1. The author implies that the procedure described is useful for
a) all aneurysms;
b) aneurysms that occur anywhere in the brain;

1. The strangler fig tree, home to many birds and animals, is found in the
rain forests of Indonesia as well as in Gunung Palung National Park on the island
of Borneo. 2. The trees are referred to as stranglers because of the way they
envelope other trees. 3. Yet, the expression strangler is not quite accurate because
the fig trees do not actually squeeze the trees on which they piggyback nor do they
actually take any nutrients from the host tree. 4. But they may stifle the host tree’s
growth as the fig tree’s roots meet and fuse together, forming rigid rings around the
host’s trunk and restricting further growth of the supporting tree. 5. The most
interesting aspect of the strangler fig is that it grows from the sky down to the
ground. 6. Birds are a major factor in the birth of new fig trees, ingesting the fruit
and later dropping the seeds contained in them. 7. Most seeds that are dropped to
the ground do nothing, but those that drop into a moist mulch of decayed leaves
and mosses that have collected in branches of trees have a chance of survival. 8.
They are more likely to receive some sunlight than those that drop all the way to
the ground. 9. After the seeds of the fig trees germinate high in the canopy, their
roots descend to form a menacing vise around the trees that support them. 10.
Eventually the host tree may begin to die, but it may take many years. 11. Some
types of fig trees put down roots so thick that they completely surround the host.
12. In that case, all that is left is a moss-covered scaffold of fig roots.
1. According to the passage, fig trees are referred to as stranglers because they
a) are unknown;
b) are unusual;
c) wrap themselves around other trees;
140
d) kill wildlife;
e) other.

a) while the fig trees may damage the host tree, they do not actually squeeze it.
b) the host tree actually strangles the fig.
c) the fig tree does not harm animals.
d) the fig tree provides nutrition to the host tree.
e) other.

1. Many species of fish travel in schools, moving in tight formations, often
with the precision of the most highly disciplined military unit or parade. 2. Some
move in synchronized hordes, while others move in starkly geometric forms. 3.
There are countless varieties of schooling behaviors. 4. Some fish coalesce into
schools and then spread out in random patterns, while others move into close
formations at specific times, such as feeding times, but are spread out at other
times. 5. Some move in schools composed of members of all age groups, while
others move in schools predominantly when they are young. 6. Though this
behavior is quite familiar, there is not much known about it. 7. Numerous
hypotheses have been proposed concerning the purpose of schooling behavior in
fish. 8. Certainly, the fact that fish congregate together in schools helps to ensure
their survival. 9. One form of protection derives from the sheer numbers in the
school. 10. When a predator attacks a school containing a huge number of fish, it
will be able to consume only a small percentage of the school. 11. Whereas some
of the members of the school will be lost to the predator, the majority will survive.
12. Another form of protection comes from the special coloration and markings of
different types of fish. 13. Certain types of coloration or markings such as stripes
or patterns in vibrant and shiny colors create a visual effect when huge numbers of
the fish are clustered together, making it more difficult for a potential predator to
focus on specific members of the school.

1. The postage stamp has been around for only a relatively short period of
time. 2. The use of stamps for postage was first proposed in England in 1837, when
Sir Rowland Hill published a pamphlet entitled "Post Office Reform: Its
Importance and Practicability" to put forth the ideas that postal rates should not be
based on the distance that a letter or package travels but should instead be based on
the weight of the letter or package and that fees for postal services should be
collected in advance of the delivery, rather than after, through the use of postage
stamps. 3. The ideas proposed by Hill went into effect in England almost
immediately, and other countries soon followed suit. 4. The first English stamp,
which featured a portrait of the Queen Victoria, was printed in 1840. 5. This stamp,
the "penny black," came in sheets that needed to be separated with scissors and
provided enough postage for a letter weighing 14 grams or less to any destination.
6. In 1843, Brazil was the next nation to produce national postage stamps, and
various areas in what is today Switzerland also produced postage stamps later in
the same year. 7. Postage stamps in five- and ten-cent denominations were first
approved by the U.S. Congress in 1847, and by 1860 postage stamps were being
issued in more than 90 governmental jurisdictions worldwide.

1. In recent years, scientific and technological developments have
drastically changed human life on our planet, as well as our views both of
ourselves as individuals in society and of the universe as a whole. 2. Perhaps one
of the most profound developments of the 1970s was the discovery of recombinant
DNA technology, which allows scientists to introduce genetic material (or genes)
from one organism to another. 3. In its simplest form, the technology requires the
isolation of a piece of DNA, either directly from the DNA of the organism under
study or artificially synthesised from an RNA template by using a viral enzyme
called reverse transcriptase. 4. This piece of DNA is then ligated to a fragment of
bacterial DNA which has the capacity to replicate itself independently. 5. The
recombinant molecule thus produced can be introduced into the common intestinal
bacterium Escherichia coli, which can be grown in very large amounts in synthetic
media. 6. Under proper conditions, the foreign gene will not only replicate in the
bacteria, but also express itself, through the process of transcription and translation,
to give rise to large amounts of the specific protein coded by the foreign gene. 7.
The technology has already been successfully applied to the production of several
therapeutically important biomolecules, such as insulin, interferon, and growth
hormones. 8. Many other important applications are under detailed investigation in
laboratories throughout the world.
1. Recombinant DNA technology consists primarily of

1. J. Muir (1838-1914) is recognized for his contribution in the area of
environmental protection. 2. He is often referred to as the unofficial "Father of
National Parks." 3. Born in Scotland, Muir came to the USA with his family at the
age of 11. 4. The family settled on a Wisconsin farm, where Muir was educated at
home rather than in public school because his father felt that school education
would violate his strict religious code. 5. Muir read considerably and also
developed some interesting mechanical devices; when some of his inventions were
put on display at a state fair, they were noted by officials from the University of
Wisconsin, and Muir was invited to attend the university in spite of his lack of
formal education. 6. He left the university after two and a half years; later, while
working in a carriage factory, he suffered an injury to his eye. 7. His vision did
recover, but following the accident he decided that he wanted to spend his life
studying the beauty of the nature rather than endangering his health working in a
factory. 8. He went to California, where he took a number of odd jobs to support
himself, working as a laborer, a sheepherder, and – after he had become familiar
with the wilderness area – a guide. 9. In 1889, he was asked by an editor of the
magazine The Century to write some articles in support of the preservation of
Yosemite Park. 10. These articles initiated the campaign which resulted in
enactment the law creating Yosemite National Park, and three more national parks
were created soon after. 11. A century later, the results of what John Muir initiated
are remarkable. 12. The National Park Service is now responsible for more than
350 parks, and more than 250 million people visit these parks each year.
1. According to the passage, Muir was born
a) in the first half of the eighteenth century.
148
b) in the second half of the eighteenth century.

1. Children learn to construct language from those around them. 2. Until
about the age of three, children develop their language by modeling the speech of
their parents, but from that time on, peers have a growing influence as models for
language development. 3. It is easy to observe that adults and older children tend to
modify their language to improve communication with younger children, and this
modified language is called caretaker speech. 4. Caretaker speech tends to be
slower speech with short, simple words and sentences which are said in a higherpitched voice with exaggerated inflections and many repetitions. 5. It is not limited
to what is commonly called baby talk, which generally refers to the use of
simplified, repeated syllable expressions such as ma-ma, boo-boo, bye-bye, but
also includes the simplified sentences repeated in sing-song inflections.
6. Caretaker speech serves the very important function of allowing young children
to acquire language more easily. 7. The higher-pitched voice and the exaggerated
inflections tend to focus the small child on what the caretaker is saying, the
simplified words and sentences make it easier for the small child to begin to
comprehend, and the repetitions reinforce the child's understanding. 8. An
important point to note is that the function covered by caretaker speech is an
unconsciously used but extremely important part of the process of language
acquisition and as such is quite universal. 9. Studying cultures where children do
not acquire language through caretaker speech is difficult because such cultures are
difficult to find.
1. According to the passage, children over the age of three
a) learn little language from those around them.
150
b) are no longer influenced by the language of their parents.
c) are influenced more and more by those closer to their own age.
d) first begin to respond to caretaker speech.
e) other.
2. The word modeling in the second sentence could best be replaced by
a) demonstrating;
b) mimicking;
c) building;
d) designing;
e) Other.
3. Which of the sentences below expresses the essential information from the
passage?
a) Most people are quite aware of the use of caretaker speech because of thorough
study and research about it.
b) The unconscious use of caretaker speech involves a reduction in the complexity
of language, while the conscious use of caretaker speech involves an increase in
complexity.
c) Young children tend to use caretaker speech quite unconsciously in order to
reduce the complexity of their thoughts to language that they can express.
d) People generally seem to be able to adapt their language to the level of a child's
language without thinking consciously about it.
e) other.
4. The word it in the fifth sentence refers to
a) caretaker speech;
b) a higher-pitched voice;

a) speak in basically the same way to a one-year-old and a three-year-old.
b) use language that is far above the language level of a child.
c) speak in a progressively less complex way as a child matures.
d) modify their speech according to the language development of a child.
e) other.
7. The word acquire in the sixth sentence is closest in meaning to
a) learn;
151
b) obtain;
c) use;
d) hear;
e) other.
8. Why is it difficult to study differences between the cultures in which
caretaker speech is used and in which it is not used?
a) Because such countries are separated by large distance.
b) Because nowadays many cultures mix.
c) Because scientists haven’t found such cultures.
d) Because parents don’t want their small children to take part in experiments.
e) other.
9. The word peer in the second sentence means almost the same as
a) a child from the same family.

1. In 776 B.C. the first Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount
Olympus to honour the Greeks’ chief god, Zeus. 2. The warm climate for outdoor
activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle caused the Greeks to
create competitive sports. 3. Only the elite and military could participate at first,
but later the games were open to all free Greek males who had no criminal record.
4. The Greeks emphasised physical fitness and strength in their education of youth.
5. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus and javelin throwing, boxing and
horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners competed

olive wreaths placed on their heads and having poems sung about their deeds.
7. Originally these contests were held as games of friendship, and any wars in
progress were halted to allow the game to take place. 8. They also helped to
strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities represented. 9. The
Greeks attached so much importance to the games that they calculated time in fouryear cycles called “Olympiads”, dating from 776 B.C. 10. The contests coincided
with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on the part of the

1. Hepatitis C is an illness unknown until recently. 2. It has been called an
epidemic, yet unlike most illnesses with that designation, it is not easily
transmitted. 3. It is referred to as epidemic in that so many people have been
discovered with the illness, but it is different in that these people have actually
carried the virus for many years. 4. It is only transmitted by direct blood-to-blood
contact; casual contact and even sexual contact don’t transmit the illness. 5.
Hepatitis C is generally chronic. 6. The majority of infected people either had a
blood transfusion or injected illegal drugs. 7. There are frequently no symptoms, so
the illness is mostly discovered through routine blood tests that reveals elevated
liver enzymes, which could be caused by any form of hepatitis, abuse of alcohol, or
other causes. 8. Another test is then performed, and the result is learned. 9. The
constant infection in the liver can lead to cirrhosis of the liver and sometimes to
liver cancer. 10. Severe cases can be reversed with a liver transplant. 11. Yet,
because the virus may exist in the body for more than 20 years before being
discovered, doctors often suggest waiting and periodically checking the condition
rather than radical treatment. 12. The liver’s condition is determined by a biopsy,
in which a device is inserted into the liver and its condition is viewed. 13. If there
154
is little or no cirrhosis, it is likely that treatment will be postponed because it
frequently causes more discomfort than the illness itself. 14. The most frequent
treatment is a combination therapy, with one drug injected 3 times a week and
another taken orally, costing hundreds of dollars a week. 15. The therapy causes
symptoms similar to influenza, and some patients suffer more than others. 16.
Unfortunately, many patients do not respond, or do not respond completely to the
therapy.
1. The author implies that
a) physicians have been treating patients for hepatitis C for over 20 years.
b) other forms of hepatitis were known before the hepatitis C strain was
discovered.

1. Aggressive behaviour is intended to cause pain, suffering or destruction.
2. While aggressive behaviour is often thought of as purely physical, verbal attacks
such as screaming and shouting or humiliating can also be a type of aggression. 3.
What is key to the definition of aggression is that the harm is intentional.
4. Numerous theories are based on the idea that aggression is an inherent human
instinct that is directed toward others in a process called displacement. 5.
Aggressive impulses that are not channeled toward a specific person or group may
be expressed indirectly through socially acceptable activities such as sports in a
process called catharsis. 6. In contrast to instinctive theories, social learning
theories view aggression as a learned behavior. 7. This approach focuses on the
effect that role models and reinforcement have on the acquisition of aggressive
behaviour. 8. While research has provided evidence that the behavior of a live
model is more influential than that of a fictional one, fictional models such as those
156
seen on television, do still have an impact on behaviour. 9. On-screen acts of
violence can be counted in thousands; while some have argued that this sort of
fictional violence may even have a beneficial cathartic effect, studies have shown
correlations between viewing of violence and aggressive behaviour in both
childhood and adolescence. 10. Studies have also shown that a critical factor in
increasing aggressive behaviors is the reinforcement. 11. If the role model is
rewarded rather than punished for violent behavior, that behavior is more likely to
be seen as positive and to be imitated.
1. According to the text, which of the following should not be defined as
aggressive behavior?
a) inflicting pain accidentally;
b) making insulting remarks;
c) destroying property purposefully;
d) trying unsuccessfully to injure someone;
e) other.
2. The author mentions humiliating in the second sentence in order to
a) demonstrate how serious the problem of aggression is.
b) clarify the difference between intentional and unintentional aggression.
c) provide examples of verbal aggression.
d) illustrate the nature of physical aggression.
e) other.
3. The word intentional in the third sentence is closest in meaning to
a) deliberate;
b) estimated;
c) forbidden;
d) intermittent;
e) other.
4. According to the passage, displacement is
a) internally directed aggression;
b) a modeled type of aggression;
c) aggression that is unintentional;
d) aggression that is directed outward;
e) other.
5. It can be inferred from the passage that catharsis
a) is a positive process.
b) involves channeling aggression internally.
c) is studied by ethologists.
d) should be negatively reinforced.
e) other.
6. Which of the sentences below expresses the essential information from
the text?
a) Research on aggression has shown that the best way to combat aggression is to
157
model appropriate behavior and positively reinforce non-aggressive behavior.
b) Children learn to behave aggressively by witnessing aggressive behavior that
is rewarded or is at least not punished.
c) When aggressive behavior is combined with modeling, it minimizes this type
of behavior.
d) Children will model aggressive behavior to adolescents.
e) other.

sentence) refers to
a) research;
b) evidence;
c) the behaviour;.
d) a live model;
e) other.
8. What is stated in the passage about the modeling of aggressive behavior?
a) Fictional models are as likely to cause aggressive behavior as are live models.
b) Little correlation has been found between viewing of aggressive behavior on
television and acting aggressively.
c) Aggression in works of fiction may cause aggressive behavior in adulthood.
d) Aggression in society has an effect on the type of violence used in movies and
on television.
e) other.
9. The word critical in the tenth sentence could best be replaced by
a) negative;
b) considerate;
c) crucial;
d) studied;
e) other.
10. The main idea of the text can be formulated as
a) aggressive behaviour is very dangerous.
b) aggression is a multifaceted phenomenon which is provoked by number of
factors.
c) scientists can’t come to agreement about the definition of aggression.
d) reinforcement is the only thing which should be paid attention to in order to
prevent aggression.
e) other.

1. 3-D is a waste of a perfectly good dimension. 2. Hollywood’s current
crazy stampede toward it is suicidal. 3. It adds nothing essential to the moviegoing
experience. 4. For some, it is an annoying distraction. 5. For others, it creates
nausea and headaches. 6. It is driven largely to sell expensive projection equipment
and add a $5 to $7.50 surcharge on already expensive movie tickets. 7. Its image is
158
noticeably darker than standard 2-D, it is unsuitable for grown-up films of any
seriousness. 8. It limits the freedom of directors to make films as they choose. 9.
For moviegoers in the PG-13 and R ranges, it only rarely provides an experience
worth paying a premium for.
10. That’s my position. I know it’s heresy to the biz side of show
business. 11. After all, 3-D has not only given Hollywood its biggest payday ($2.7
billion and counting for Avatar), but a slew of other hits. 12. The year's top three
films - A lice in Wonderland, How to Train Your Dragon, and Clash of the Titans were all projected in 3-D, and they're only the beginning. 13. The very notion of
Jackass in 3-D may induce a wave of hysterical blindness, to avoid seeing Steve0's you-know-what in that way. 14. But many directors, editors, and
cinematographers agree with me about the shortcomings of 3-D. So do many
movie lovers - even executives who feel stampeded by another Hollywood
infatuation with a technology that was already pointless when their grandfathers
played with stereoscopes.

1. For 70 years, since Einstein revolutionized our understanding of the
cosmos and Planck and Heisenberg undid the certainties of particle physics,
scientists have been chasing a chimera - the Great Unified Theory that would
describe and relate all the forces of the universe and, in the process, lay bare the
secrets of nature. 2. Now a profoundly disabled man has the quarry in sight; and it
is no chimera, but a real beast, waiting to tear our philosophies apart.

3. A dull bumping noise and a mechanical whine from the corridor
announce that Professor Stephen Hawking is ready to start his day's work. 4. A
nurse comes into the office, followed by an electric wheelchair with a large metal
box on the back and a computer screen attached to the left arm. 5. The seat is
covered by a sheepskin mat on which rests a small awkward figure of a man.
6. He is the man most likely to produce an explanation for the entire history
of the universe within the next few years. 7. By his own estimate, there is a fiftyfifty chance mankind will come up with the answer in the next decade; and, by
everybody else’s estimate, you can substitute the name 'Hawking' for 'mankind'. If,
of course, he lives.
8. For the terrible fact is that the intellect of one of the two or three greatest
physicists of the century is sustained by an almost defunct body. 9. Over the past
45 years motor neuron disease has caused a slow but savage deterioration in his

1. We all know that strong emotions have a powerful physical effect. 2.
Feeling nervous before an important interview can send you rushing to the
bathroom, while a sudden attack of anxiety can send your heart racing and leave
you feeling faint and dizzy. 3. But new research has revealed the incredible healing
power of the brain and how learning to relax and think positively can have
dramatic health benefits. 4. And there is now overwhelming evidence that your
162
mental and emotional state can also have a direct impact on your body’s ability to
fight disease and cope with pain.
5. Bob Lewin, Professor of Rehabilitation at York University, took a group
of heart patients through an eight-week angina management programme which
included stress management, relaxation techniques, goal-setting, yoga and exercise.
6. The results were staggering. 7. Fifty per cent of the patients who had been on
waiting lists for bypass surgery were taken off by the cardiologists who decided
they no longer needed it.
8. So how do you make it work for you? 9. Well, it’s far more complex than
just learning to look on the bright side. 10. The key variable in patients getting well
is the extent to which they feel in control of their own emotions. 11. Reorganizing
your life and learning self-help techniques can help put you back in control of
these.

1. The news that juvenile crime on the bleak Longwall Estate is at record
levels will come as no surprise to anyone. 2. It stands as a monument to the abject
failure of successive governments to do anything to help disadvantaged. 3.
Unemployment and low welfare payments make grinding poverty a grim reality. 4.
Poverty and unemployment can create a sense of alienation and a child who thinks
that he has no hope of achieving the wealth and happiness that other people have
will often become frustrated and violent. 5. The local schools are grossly
inadequate, with high rates of illiteracy and truancy. 6. If a child feels he is not
164
valued and is a failure at school, he will be prone to boredom and open to bad
influences. 7. Finally, the decline of the nuclear family and of traditional moral
values may also play a role. 8. The vast majority of children come from single
parent families or broken homes. 9. Under these circumstances, crime seems the
only option for many young people. 10. The problem of juvenile crime can
therefore only be solved by removing those factors that cause it. 11. First of all,
governments need to spend more on welfare benefits, but, more importantly, they
need to create employment so both parents and children feel that they are part of
society and can contribute towards it and benefit from it. 12. In addition,
improvements in education are vital as well, so that children from even the most
disadvantaged homes have a base and can be given encouragement and the
opportunity to succeed in life. 13. And lastly, although governments can do little to
stop the decline in the traditional family, improved social conditions might allow
more families to stay together.
1. A young criminal may be officially called
a) a juvenile truant;
b) a young rioter;
c) a young villain;
d) a juvenile delinquent;
e) other.
2. The author suggests that the main reasons of juvenile crime are:
a) unemployment, poverty, local government policies, insufficient number of
schools;
b) decline of traditional family and moral values; inadequate schools,
unemployment, poverty;
c) unemployment, media violence; poverty, foreign government intrusion;
d) unemployment, poverty, inadequate education standards, negligence in rich
families;
e) other.
3. According to the text governments
a) are able to stop the decline of traditional family and moral values;
b) have to create employment for children;
c) have to create favorable conditions for family business;
d) have to raise welfare benefits;
e) other.

mentioned by the author?
a) A child may ignore his/her family traditions and values.
b) A child may become open to bad influence.
c) A child may not be interested in what is going on at the lessons.
d) A child may play truant or even become illiterate.

1. Despite the negative publicity, psychometric testing is big business. 2.
Applicants to 40% of big British companies will have their future prospects at least
partly determined by personality tests – and intelligence testing may be used as
well. 3. Enthusiasts argue there is plenty of predictive validity in such tests. 4. Only
166
by carrying them out one can predict the rates of absenteeism and productivity. 5.
Cynics would say it is a case of dissonance reduction – of employers wanting
passionately to believe in tests for which they have parted with a large amount of
money.
6. It is Sir Frances Galton who must bear some of the responsibility for this,
as it was he who first introduced the concept of the personality tests in the 1880s.
7. This concept was taken forward and refined in 1917 by the American army, who
were anxious not to make their efficiency undermined by the recruitment of
unsuitable soldiers. 8. From the fifties onwards, the test as lucrative business began
to sweep across America. 9. In Britain what made the difference were the mass layoffs of the 1980s. 10. To firms where personnel departments were inundated with
applicants, testing seemed a cheap, reliable and sensible alternative to the
expensive, time-consuming interview. 11. The Sacking of Carl Filer will bring the
critics out of the woodwork again, rehearsing their old arguments. 12. But what is
really controversial – and as yet undecided – is whether a simple test can reliably
measure a quantity as vague and shifting as personality in the first place.
1. According to the passage a psychometric test is
a) an intelligence test measuring a person’s ability to understand and think about
things and to gain and use knowledge;
b) a psychological test used to identify whether a person is mentally ill;
c) a test measuring a person’s ability to think in order to judge how suitable
he/she is for a particular job;
d) a psychological test used to identify the degree of a person’s depression
caused by overtime employment;
e) other.
2. The writer states that psychometric tests
a) are always valid;
b) raise arguments as to their validity;
c) are reliable though have negative publicity;
d) are rarely used by employers as they are time-consuming;
e) other.
3. The concept of personality tests introduced by Sir France Galton was
a) undermined by the American soldiers in 1917;
b) banned in Britain in 1980;
c) never applied in practice;
d) further developed in the USA;
e) other.
4. According to the text in Britain psychometric testing seemed to be
a) unreliable and time-consuming;
b) reliable and less time-consuming;
c) cheap and time-consuming;
d) rarely used by personnel departments;
167
e) other.
5. In the 11th sentence the author implies that
a) Carl Filer and some other critics will question the validity of psychometric
tests;
b) Carl Filer has been sacked because of his critical arguments against
psychometric testing;
c) After Carl Filer’s sacking the critics of psychometric tests will be forced to
hide in the woods to find some new arguments;
d) Carl filer has been fired; consequently, it will give reasons to doubt the
validity of psychometric testing;
e) Other.
6. In the last sentence the author expresses his doubts as to the
a) reliability of personality tests;
b) simplicity of psychometric tests;
c) controversy of the existing points of view;
d) consequences of personality testing;
e) other.
7. In the eighth sentence the word lucrative means
a) lucky;
b) easy;
c) profitable;
d) wasteful;
e) other.
8. In the ninth sentence the word lay-off is closest in meaning to
a) temporary end of employment;
b) resignation;
c) retirement;
d) temporary business leave;
e) other.
9. In the tenth sentence the word inundated is opposite in meaning to
a) overstaffed;
b) overcrowded;
c) sufficient;
d) understaffed;
e) other.
10. The main idea of the text is:
a) the question of psychometric testing application still remains controversial;
b) psychometric tests shouldn’t be applied in recruitment process;
c) psychometric tests are mostly valid;
d) there is no distinct definition of a psychometric test;
e) other.
