    FRESHWATER FISH

    Freshwater fish have a similar life cycle to birds. The female fish lays eggs but very few speciesshow any mother-care to their young. Fish are cold-blooded creatures, so it is left to the water

    temperature to give the heat that it encourages the egg to hatch into the 'fry', which is the name

    given to young fish. Small fish crowd together for protection and to learn all the other behaviour

    that is necessary for their survival. Only very few them learn to escape the attentions of larger

    fish or the many other predators who live alongside of water. Fish continue to grow throughout

    the most of their lives. Unlike animals or birds, there is no easily seen child or adult part to their

    growing up. Fish from healthy waters, where there is plentiful food, will reach to bigger sizes

    quicker than their less fortunate fellows, who strive to grow in a polluted stretch of water. The

    feeding style can be readily seen from the position of the each eyes and mouth on many

    freshwater fish. Generally, those from fish that feed on the bottom of the river or pond have

    mouths that curve downward. Surface feeders have a more longer lower jaw. Fish that move

    around any part of the water for their food, taking any kind small particle that comes their way,

    have no visible teeth. They suck the food that they find straight into their mouths.

    FINDING THE CAREER THAT FITS YOUR PERSONALITY

    If youve finished your exams and have absolutely no idea what to do next, youre not alone,

    says Sheridan Hughes, an occupational psychologist at Career Analysts, a career counselling service.

    At 18, it can be very difficult to know what you want to do because you dont really know what youreinterested in. Careers guidance, adds Alexis Hallam, one of her colleagues, is generally poor and

    people can end up in the wrong job and stay there for years because theyre good at something without

    actually enjoying it.

    To discover what people are good at, and more fundamentally, what they will enjoy doing, Career

    Analysts give their clients a battery of personality profile questionnaires and psychometric tests. An in-

    depth interview follows, in which the test results are discussed and different career paths and options are

    explored with the aid of an occupational psychologist. Career Analysts offers guidance to everyone, from

    teenagers to retirees looking for a new focus in life. The service sounded just what I needed. Dividing my

    time as I do between teaching and freelance journalism, I definitely need advice about consolidating my

    career. Being too ancient for Career Analysts student career option guidance and not, unfortunately, at

    the executive level yet, I opted for the career management package. This is aimed at people who areestablished in their jobs and who either want a change or some advice about planning the next step in

    their careers.

    Having filled in a multitude of personality indicator questionnaires at home, I then spent a rather

    gruelling morning being aptitude-tested at Career Analysts offices. The tests consisted of logical

    reasoning followed by verbal, mechanical and spatial aptitude papers. Logical reasoning required me to

    pick out the next shape in a sequence of triangles, squares and oblongs. I tried my best but knew that it

    was really a lost cause. I fared rather better when it came to verbal aptitude finding the odd one out in

    a series of words couldnt be simpler. My complacency was short-lived, however, when I was confronted

    with images of levers and pulleys for the mechanical aptitude papers. My mind went blank. I had no idea

    what would happen to wheel X when string Y was pulled.

    At home, filling in questionnaires, I had been asked to give my instinctive reaction (not an over-

    considered one) to statement like: It bothers me if people think Im being odd or unconventional, or I

    like to do my planning alone without interruptions from others. I was asked to agree or disagree on a

    scale of one to five with I often take on impossible odds, or It is impossible for me to believe that

    chance or luck plays an important role in my life. I was told to indicate how important I consider status to

    be in a job, and how important money and material benefits.

    The questions attempt to construct a picture of the complete individual. Using aptitude tests

    alongside personality profiling, occupational psychologists will, the theory goes, be able to guide a client

    towards a rewarding, fulfilling career. Some questions are as straightforward as indicating whether or not

    you would enjoy a particular job. Designing aircraft runways? Preparing legal documents? Playing a

    musical instrument? Every career going makes an appearance and, as I was shown later, the responses

    tend to form a coherent pattern.

    Having completed my personality and aptitude tests, I sat down with Sheridan Hughes, who

    asked me fairly searching personal and professional questions. What do my parents and siblings do for a

    living? Why had I chosen to do an English degree? I need to get a picture of you as a person and how

    youve come to be who you are, she explained. What we do works because its a mixture of science

    and counselling. We use objective psychometric measures to discover our clients natural strengths and

    abilities and then we talk to them about what they want from file.

    There were no real surprises in my own test results, nor in the interview that followed it. Wereinterested in patterns, Mrs Hughes explained, and the pattern for you is strongly verbal and

    communicative. This was putting it rather kindly. I had come out as average on the verbal skills test and

    below average in logic, numerical, perceptual and mechanical reasoning. My spatial visualization was so

    bad it was almost off the scale. A career in cartography, navigation, tiling or architecture would not be

    playing to your strengths, she said delicately.

    Mrs Hughes encouraged me to expand the writing side of my career and gave me

    straightforward, practical suggestions as to how I could go about it. Widen the scope of your articles,

    she said. You could develop an interest in medical and psychological fields. These latter, she said,

    would sit comfortably with an interest in human behaviour indicated on my personality-profiling

    questionnaires. She suggested that I consider writing e-learning content for online courses, an avenuethat would never have occurred to me.

    116.Which of the following is mentioned in the first paragraph?A.People underestimating their own abilities.

    I'M THE LAST SPEAKER OF MY LANGUAGE

    I come from Chile and I've always been interested in my country's history and culture. It all started

    when I was about eight and I started to learn about the Mapuches, the indigenous inhabitants of central

    and southern Chile. My friends thought I was strange. But I didn't mind that they weren't interested.

    When I first found out about the native people of Patagonia, in the far south, I had no idea that mymother's family was from there and that her grandfather had been a Selk'nam. The last speaker of

    Selk'nam died in 1974. I really wanted to learn Selk'nam, so relatives on my father's side who live in Punta

    Arenas, the southernmost town in mainland Chile, sent me dictionaries. (124) ____________. But I had no

    idea what these sounded like.

    Then, when I was about eleven, I saw a television programme about the Yagan people who lived

    on the island of Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of South America. The programme interviewed two

    sisters, Cristina and Ursula Calderon, and said they were the only two speakers of their language left.

    (125) ____________. Only later did I discover that the two languages are quite different; that the twopeoples couldn't communicate with each other.

    One day, my mother told me that although she was born in the capital, Santiago, her grandfather

    was a Selk'nam from the north of Tierra del Fuego. (126) ____________. When I asked why, she said thatwhen she was young she had been teased for looking different, and so she had just kept quiet about it.

    When I was thirteen, I went to the south for the first time on my own to meet Cristina Calderon.

    (127) ____________. I discovered that there used to be four thousand Selk'nam in Tierra del Fuego. Theywere hunters of wild cats and foxes. The Yagan lived further south and travelled by canoe all the way down

    to Cape Horn, but the Selk'nam moved on foot.

    Settlers from the north arrived in the nineteenth century and introduced diseases like measles and

    typhoid, which affected the local people very badly. Now, there's no way back. I got hold of some

    recordings of a Selk'nam shaman from the 1960s and started to study them. (128) ____________.Gradually, however, I began to understand how the words sounded and began to reproduce them.

    The Selk'nam express themselves using lots of prefixes and suffixes, and the sounds are guttural,

    nasal and tonal. (129) ____________. For example, it has lots of different words for the weather. Thehardest thing in Selk'nam, however, is the verbs they all sound a bit the same. There are some English

    loanwords, such as 'bread' and 'money'. Others are descriptive: 'read' translates as 'playing with words'

    and 'drum' as 'vibrating leather'. Then there are words for modern things for 'telephone', you have to say

    'speak from afar', and 'car' is 'go on four wheels'. I speak the language well now. Cristina's husband spoke

    Selk'nam and apparently I sound just like him.

    Because music is something that reaches lots of people, I started composing traditional songs in

    Selk'nam and formed a band with two friends. This meant that they had to learn some words, too. ( 130)____________. I need to teach my language to more people because if something happened to me, it

    would die out all over again.

    A. I felt a sudden desire to learn that one too.B. It was slow because I had no one to talk to.C. Nobody had ever told me anything about this before.D. This meant that I was able to start learning words, verbs and expressions.E. This was good because I didn't want to be the only one.F. These turned out to be rather hard for me to pronounce, however.G. The trip seemed the best way to find out about my roots.H. Yagan is quite different, however, because it has more vocabulary.

    is that I did also watched it on television. As you

    I knew they would be sold out of very quickly.

    Let me tell you what has happened that day. I wanted

    to be one of the first person to arrive at the concert hall

    to get a good seat right in front, near from the stage,

    so I took up an early train. But when I got there, I realised

    that I had left my ticket at home. So I had to go all the way

    back to get it, which it took at least an hour. But then,believe it or not, the organisers would not let me in because

    the concert had already started! I was so much angry with

    them. They simply refused to listen to my explanations.

    In the end, I went back to home and switched on the TV!

    viii Adapting areas surrounding cities to provide resourcesix Removing the unwanted by-products of city lifex Providing health information for city dwellers

    AWhile cities and their metropolitan areas have always interacted with and shaped the naturalenvironment, it is only recently that historians have begun to consider this relationship. During ourown time, the tension between natural and urbanized areas has increased, as the spread ofmetropolitan populations and urban land uses has reshaped and destroyed natural landscapes andenvironments.

    BThe relationship between the city and the natural environment has actually been circular, withcities having massive effects on the natural environment, while the natural environment, in turn, hasprofoundly shaped urban configurations. Urban history is filled with stories about how city dwellerscontended with the forces of nature that threatened their lives. Nature not only caused many of theannoyances of daily urban life, such as bad weather and pests, but it also gave rise to naturaldisasters and catastrophes such as floods, fires, and earthquakes. In order to protect themselvesand their settlements against the forces of nature, cities built many defences including flood wallsand dams, earthquake-resistant buildings, and storage places for food and water. At times, suchprotective steps sheltered urbanites against the worst natural furies, but often their own actions such as building under the shadow of volcanoes, or in earthquake-prone zones exposed them todanger from natural hazards.

    CCity populations require food, water, fuel, and construction materials, while urban industries need

    natural materials for production purposes. In order to fulfill these needs, urbanites increasingly hadto reach far beyond their boundaries. In the nineteenth century, for instance, the demands of citydwellers for food produced rings of garden farms around cities. In the twentieth century, as urbanpopulations increased, the demand for food drove the rise of large factory farms. Cities also require

    17/21

    !thi ch$n '(i tuy)n HSG v+n ha THPT_Mn Ti.ng Anh Page 6 of 10

    fresh water supplies in order to exist engineers built waterworks, dug wells deeper and deeper intothe earth looking for groundwater, and dammed and diverted rivers to obtain water supplies fordomestic and industrial uses. In the process of obtaining water from distant locales, cities oftentransformed them, making deserts where there had been fertile agricultural areas.

    DUrbanites had to seek locations to dispose of the wastes they produced. Initially, they placedwastes on sites within the city, polluting the air, land, and water with industrial and domesticeffluents. As cities grew larger, they disposed of their wastes by transporting them to more distant

    locations. Thus, cities constructed sewerage systems for domestic wastes. They usually dischargedthe sewage into neighbouring waterways, often polluting the water supply of downstream cities.

    The air and the land also became dumps for waste disposal. In the late nineteenth century, coalbecame the preferred fuel for industrial, transportation, and domestic use. But while providing aninexpensive and plentiful energy supply, coal was also very dirty. The cities that used it sufferedfrom air contamination and reduced sunlight, while the cleaning tasks of householders were greatlyincreased.

    E In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, reformers began demanding urbanenvironmental cleanups and public health improvements. Women's groups often took the lead inagitating for clean air and clean water, showing a greater concern than men in regard to quality of

    life and health-related issues. The replacement of the horse, first by electric trolleys and then by thecar, brought about substantial improvements in street and air sanitation. The movementsdemanding clean air, however, and reduction of waterway pollution were largely unsuccessful. Onbalance, urban sanitary conditions were probably somewhat better in the 1920s than in the latenineteenth century, but the cost of improvement often was the exploitation of urban hinterlands forwater supplies, increased downstream water pollution, and growing automobile congestion andpollution.

    FIn the decades after the 1940s, city environments suffered from heavy pollution as they sought tocope with increased automobile usage, pollution from industrial production, new varieties ofchemical pesticides and the wastes of an increasingly consumer-oriented economy. Cleaner fuelsand smoke control laws largely freed cities during the 1940s and 1950s of the dense smoke that

    they had previously suffered from. Improved urban air quality resulted largely from the substitutionof natural gas and oil for coal and the replacement of the steam locomotive by the diesel-electric.However, great increases in automobile usage in some larger cities produced the new phenomenonof smog, and air pollution replaced smoke as a major concern.

    GDuring these decades, the suburban out-migration, which had begun in the nineteenth centurywith commuter trains and streetcars and accelerated because of the availability and convenience ofthe automobile, now increased to a torrent, putting major strains on the formerly rural andundeveloped metropolitan fringes. To a great extent, suburban layouts ignored environmentalconsiderations, making little provision for open space, producing endless rows of resource-consuming and fertilizer-dependent lawns, contaminating groundwater through leaking septic tanks,and absorbing excessive amounts of fresh water and energy. The growth of the outer city since the1970s reflected a continued preference on the part of many people in the western world for space-intensive single-family houses surrounded by lawns, for private automobiles over public transit, andfor the development of previously untouched areas. Without better planning for land use andenvironmental protection, urban life will, as it has in the past, continue to damage and stress thenatural environment.

    INTO THE GAPI am led into a large, whitewashed room to faceajuryof 99. They are arranged in rows, and welook at each other through a cloud of yellowchalk dust. They have never met a foreignerbefore and eye me nervously as I step forward. Iam in China for a year to work with 20-year-oldstudents learning English. It felt odd beingyounger than my students, but I never felt tooinexperienced to cope.

    It had not been an easy choice to take theopportunity of doing a gap year. I was afraid of

    not being able to settle down to a life of studyingwhen I returned and of losing touch with myfriends. But once the decision was made, Ilooked for somewhere challenging to live andwork, with the possibility of travelling aroundthe country at the end of my work placement.

    I worked at a huge, concrete institute in acity with a million inhabitants and I grew to loveit. The size of the class which could sometimesinclude up to 99 students, of very mixed abilityand enthusiasm, left me feeling exhausted, but

    rewarded.

    One of the best things about the work was that Imet hundreds of people, and felt appreciatedand welcomed by them -people who had hadpractically no contact with the West. In China,

    everyone wants to be your friend. My bestChinese mate was Mr Chow, a 35-year-oldelectronics teacher with a son, wife, and acheerful face like a full moon. I helped him withhis English and he coached me at table tennis,and taught me how to ride a motorbike. Best ofall, he was a great storyteller, and some of mybest nights were spent eating with him and hisfamily. In China I learnt that fun takes on differentforms.

    In the more remote areas of China where life and

    landscape have changed little in hundreds ofyears, you can really feel like a cross between acelebrity and a creature from outer space. I'vebeen on train journeys when kids have asked meto sign their clothes, been on television a fewtimes - and just what do you say when Chinesemen are stroking your legs, amazed by the factthat they are so hairy?

    So, what have I come away with? I had no choicebut to adapt, budget, bargain and become moreindependent. There's no faster way to grow up

    than having to stand in front of those 99 students,all older than yourself and tell someone off forturning up late again to a lesson.

    Most of all I loved the experience of living in adifferent country and the challenge of trying tounderstand it.

    the best phrase to fill each of the spaces. Write one letter (A-J) in the corresponding numbered

    boxes. Some of the suggested answers do not fit at all.

    Staying Healthy in SpaceThe range of foods available to astronauts is vast, and great care is taken to ensure that it looks and

    smells appetising. Meals are organised to provide an average of 3,000 calories a day, (34)______.

    But astronauts can expend a great deal of energy in doing the simplest things. For example, if they

    try to turn a handle, they turn themselves as well. If they bend down to do up a shoelace,

    (35)______. Finding unusual ways of doing such ordinary things uses up the excess calories. The

    space diet is balanced rather differently from a terrestrial diet. This is to try and compensate for

    changes that take place in the body during space flight. Bodily changes begin as soon as astronauts

    go into space (36)______. Among the most serious is calcium loss, which causes a markedreduction in the mass and strength of bones. There is also a progressive loss of red blood cells.

    What causes these effects is not known, (37)______. The heart muscles, with no gravity to battle

    against, start to waste away. The leg muscles start to waste too, since walking, as done on Earth,

    (38)______. Exercise also helps to reduce muscle wastage (39)______. No one yet knows the limit

    of human endurance in space. If astronauts can withstand two years or more of continuous

    weightlessness, then mankinds dream of visiting other planets (40)______.

    A and the question must be answered before long-duration space flight is really safe

    B and are quite noticeable after even a week

    C they start turning somersaults

    D and will never be known

    E which is rather more than astronauts really need

    F and is vital on very long flights

    G could become reality in the early decades of the next century

    H can only be done if astronauts put on their heavy spacesuits

    I which seems high for living in an enclosed environment in which there is no gravity

    J but they do not seriously threaten the health of astronauts
