For questions 1-10, read the passage, and then choose the option A, B, C or D to indicate the most suitable answer for each of the following questions. (20 points) Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives, Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job. Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human- service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers. Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences. There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus. A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation — that is, by watching others perform behaviors. More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills. 1.

For the best part of an hour, Rebus had been trying to blink away a headache, which was about as. much exercise as he could sustain. He’d planted himself on benches and again walls, wiping his brow even though Edinburgh’s early spring was a blood relative of midwinter. His shirt was damp against his back, uncomfortably tight every time he rose to his feet. 1 He hadn’t been to the zoo in years; thought probably the last time had been when he’d brought his daughter to see Palango the gorilla. Sammy had been so young, he'd carried her on his shoulders without feeling the strain. 2 Not very, he hoped. The penguin parade had come and gone while he was by the meerkats. Now, oddly, it was when the visitors moved on, seeking excitement, that the first of the meerkats appeared, rising on its hind legs, body narrow and wavering, scouting the territory. 3 There were worse, he had reminded himself, applying his thought to the day's central question: who was poisoning the zoo animals of Edinburgh? The fact of the matter was, some individual was to blame. Somebody cruel and calculating and so far missed by surveillance cameras and keepers alike. 4 Meantime, as senior staff had indicated, the irony was that the poisoner had actually been good for business, There’d been no copycat offences yet, but Rebus wondered how long that would last. ‘The next announcement concerned feeding the sea lions. Rebus had sauntered past their pool earlier, thinking it not overly large for a family of three. The meerkat den was surrounded by children now, and the meerkats themselves had disappeared, leaving Rebus strangely leased to have been accorded their company. 5 As a child, his roll-call of pets had seen more than its fair share of those listed “Missing in Action” of “Killed in the Line of Duty”. His tortoise had absconded, despite having its owner’s name painted on its shell; several budgies had failed to reach maturity; and ill-health had plagued his only goldfish. Living as he did in a tenement flat, he'd never been tempted in adulthood by the thought of a cat or dog. He’d tried horse-riding once, rubbing his inside legs raw in the process and vowing afterwards that the closest he’d come in future to the noble re would be on a betting slip. 6 Except the animals wouldn’t share a human’s curiosity. They would be unmoved by any display of agility or tenderness, would fail to comprehend that some game was being played. Animals would not build zoos, would have no need of them. Rebus was wondering why human needed them. The place suddenly became ridiculous to him, a chunk of prime Edinburgh real estate given over to the unreal ... And then he saw the camera. Saw it because it replaced the face that should have been there. The man was standing on grassy slope sixty feet away, adjusting the focus on telescopic lens. His hair was thinning and brown, forehead wrinkled. Recognition came as soon as he lowered the camera. Page Sof 147 Rebus knew the man, Hadn't seen him in probably four years but couldn't forget eyes like that. Rebus sought for a name, at the same time reaching into his pocket for his radio. The photographer caught the movement, eyes turning to match Rebus’ gaze. Recognition worked both ways. And then the man was off, walking briskly downhill. Rebus yanked out his radio. -UYEN THI ONLINE (z00); OTTO CHANNEL A. He moved away from it, but not too far and proceed to untie and 8° 3xSetade, Wtich-was his way of marking the quarter-hours.

Past a restaurant and cafeteria, past couples holding hands and children attacking ice- creams, Peccaries, otters, pelicans. It was all downhill, for which Rebus was thankful. The walkway narrowed just at the point where the crowd thickened. Rebus wasn’t sure what was causing the bottleneck, then heard cheers and applause. D. Two more then followed it, appearing from their burrow, circling, noses to the ground. They paid little attention to the silent figure seated on the low wall of their enclosure; passed him time and again as they explored the same orbit of hard-packed earth, jumping back only when he lifted a handkerchief to his face. He was feeling the effects of an early-morning double espresso from one of the kiosks near the Meadows. He’d been on his way to work, on his way to learning that today’s assignment was zoo patrol. E. The capybara had looked at him almost with pity, and there had seemed a glint of recognition and empathy behind the long-lashed eye of the hunched white rhino, standing so still it might have been a feature in a shopping mall, yet somehow dignified in its very isolation. Rebus felt isolated, and about as dignified as a chimpanzee. F, Police had a vague description, and spot-checks were being made of visitors’ bags and coat pockets but what everyone really wanted — except perhaps the media — was to have someone in custody, preferably with the tainted tidbits locked away as evidence. G. On the other hand, he’d liked the meerkats, for a mixture of reasons: the resonance of their name; the low comedy of their rituals; their instinct for self-preservation. Kids were dangling over the wall now, legs kicking in the air. Rebus imagined a role reversal — cages filled with children, peered at by passing animals as they capered and squealed, loving the attention. H. Today, though, he had nothing with him but a concealed radio and set of handcuffs. He wondered how conspicuous he looked, walking such a narrow ambit while shunning the attraction further up and down the slope, stopping now and then at the kiosk to buy a can of Im- Bru.

(16 points) The lost civilization of Peru ‘Two thousand years ago a mysterious and little known civilization ruled the northern coast of Peru. Its people were called the Moche. They built huge and bizarre pyramids that still dominate the surrounding countryside — some well over a hundred feet tall. Many are so heavily eroded they looked like natural hills. Only close up can you see they are made up of millions of mud bricks. Several of the pyramids, known as ‘huacas’, contain rich collections of murals depicting both secular and sacred scenes from the Moche world. Others house the elaborate tombs of Moche leaders. Out in the desert, archaeologists have also found the 2,000-year-old remains of an extensive system of mud brick aqueducts which enabled the Moche to tame their desert environment. Many are still in use today. As archaeologists have excavated at Moche sites they've unearthed some of the most fabulous pottery and jewellery ever to emerge from an ancient civilization. The Moche were pioneers of metal-working techniques like gilding and early forms of soldering. These skills enable them to create extraordinarily intricate artefacts: ear stubs and necklaces, nose rings and helmets, many heavily inlaid with gold and precious stones. But it was the pottery that gave the archaeologists their first real insight into Moche life. ‘The Moche left no written record but they did leave a fabulous account of their life and times in paintings on pots and vessels. Many show everyday events and objects such as people, fish, birds, and other animals. Others show scenes from what, at first sight, look like a series of battles. But as the archaeologists studied them more closely, they realized they weren’t ordinary battles: all the soldiers were dressed alike; the same images were repeated time and again. When the battle was won, the vanquished were ritually sacrificed. It was, the archaeologists slowly realized, a story not of war but ritual combat followed by human sacrifice. But what did it mean? The first breakthrough came when Canadian archaeologist Dr. Steve Bourget, of the University of Texas in Austin, discovered a collection of bones at one of the most important Moche huacas. Many of the skeletons were deeply encased in mud which meant the burials had to have taken place in the rain. Yet in this part of Peru it almost never rains. Bourget realized there had to be a deliberate connection between the rain and the sacrifices. It let him to a new insight into the Moche world. The Moche, like most desert societies, had practised a form of ritual designed to celebrate or encourage rain. The sacrifices were about making an unpredictable world more predictable. A harsh environment had moulded a harsh civilization with an elaborate set of rituals designed to ensure its survival. These discoveries answered one question — what the painted scenes were alll about — but still lef a central riddle. Why had Moche society finally collapsed? Clues came first from climate researchers gathering evidence of the region’s climatic history, which suggested that at around AD 560 to AD 650 there was a thirty-year period of exceptionally wet weather, followed by a severe drought lasting another thirty years. Then archacologists found evidence of enormous rain damage at a Moche site called Huancaco. New building work had been interrupted and torn apart by torrential rain, and artefacts found in the damaged area dated to almost exactly that period. Next, evidence of drought was discovered. Huge sand dunes appeared to have drifted in and engulfed a number of Moche settlements around AD 600 to AD 650. The story all fitted together. The evidence suggested the Moche had been hit by a double Page 7 of 14whammy: a huge climate disaster had simply wiped them out. For several years this became the accepted version of events; the riddle of the Moche had been solved. There was only one problem. In the late 1990s, American archaeologist Dr. Tome Dillehay revisited some of the more obscure Moche sites and found that the dates didn’t match the climate catastrophe explanation. Many of these settlements were later than AD 650, so clearly the weather hadn’t been the immediate cause of their demise. He also found that, instead of constructing huge huacas, the Moche had started building fortresses. They had been at war. But who with? Searching the sited for clues, Dillehays’s team were unable to find any non- Moche military artefacts. It could only mean one thing: the Moche had been fighting amongst themselves. Dillehay now put together a new theory. The Moche had struggled through the climatic disasters but had been fatally weakened. The leadership, which at least in part claimed authority on the basis of being able to determine the weather, had lost its control over the population. Moche villages and clan groups turned on each other in a battle for food and land. This escalated to the point where the Moche replaced ritual battles and human sacrifices with civil war. Gradually they destroyed their own civilization. Today, after 1,500 years, the Moche and their legacy are beginning to take their place in world history. The story of Moche is an epic account of a society that thought it could control the world and what happened to it when it found it couldn’t. It is a story of human achievement and natural disaster, human sacrifice and war. Question 1-5: Do the following statements agree with the information given in the reading passage?

It is frozen solid, blanketed by the mere wisp of an atmosphere ~ a dry, stark, seemingly lifeless world. However, certain scientists believe that these conditions could be changed. They have begun to seriously investigate the possibility of transforming Mars into a more Earth — like planet: enriching the atmosphere with oxygen, obtaining water from the polar ice caps, seeding the planet with plant and animal life from Earth, and eventually establishing permanent human colonies. “It was once thought to be so far in the future as to be irrelevant,” said Christopher McKay, a research scientist at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. “But now it is starting to look practical. We could do it in four or five decades.” The idea of “terra-forming” Mars, as enthusiasts call it, has its roots in science fiction. But as researchers develop a more profound understanding of how Earth’s ecology supports life, they have begun to see that it may be possible to create similar conditions on Mars. 1. With which of the following is the passage primarily concerned? — ‘A. The need to study the Martian ecology. LUYEN THI ONLINE (ZOOM) B. The advantage of establishing colonies on Mars. | OTTO CHAN!

Which of the following does the author NOT give as a characteristic of the planet Mars? A. It apparently has no life. B. It has a rich atmosphere. C. Itis cold and dry. D. It is quite similar to Earth’s moon. 3. As used in the passage, the term “terra-forming” refers to A. asystem of creating Earth-like conditions on other planets. B. a method of building housing for colonists on Mars. CC. a process for adapting plants to live on Mars. D. a means of transporting materials through space. 4.

Organic cotton jeans are now “cool”, and so are shoes made from recycled materials. B It was plastic, and was virtually identical to the type of plastic carrier bag they'd give you in a supermarket. C Without brand names, goods cost a great deal less, which is good new for less wealthy fashion hunters. D_ Soif you thought they were all individually produced, think again! E And fashion prices go up every year, which makes it very hard to keep up — unless you're rich and famous, of course. F Without a famous logo, the products would be practically worthless. G_That’s why celebrities want brand products, as well as fashion — conscious teenagers. Nowadays, if you've got plenty of cash, it’s trendy to buy goods with designer labels. Having sunglasses with a famous logo, or designer jeans, is supposed to be “cool” and make other people look up to you. (0)......G....... When they go out looking for a bag or a jacket, it’s the brand name these shoppers care about, rather than the quality of the goods. As a result, many fashion companies are more concerned about displaying their brand name than ensuring goods are well made. And there’s another problem with designer products. They’re fantastically expensive! (1).. Fashion houses realise this. That’s why they’ve started bringing out more affordable versions of the major labels called “diffusion brands”. You can find these cheaper brands everywhere ~ in airport shops and holiday resorts, or even in markets. They include cheaply produced sunglasses, perfumes, belts and key rings. (2)..........+ But with it, they become a “must-have” for people who want to show off. So what are people really getting when they buy brand-name goods? Originally, companies used labels on their products to indicate they were of top quality, and to indicate where they were made, But these days, brand-name goods, especially diffusion brands, are often mass-produced in factories in the Far East. The rush to buy designer brands has created a mad, mad world. Nowadays, two products may be sold at hugely different prices just because one has a brand name. A famous company recently brought out a bag with a brand name on the front. (3).. . But with the brand name attached, it became a “must-have” item and cost hundreds of dollars. If you think the designer label scene has gone to far, you may be pleased to hear about a new trend. It’s becoming “cool” to think about the social and environmental impacts of fashion and to shop in an ethical way. Ethical fashion companies make clothes from natural, chemical-free, sustainable materials. (4)... . There are designer labels on these too, but the products come first. If this trend continues, we can be “cool” and stylish, and help the world at the same time. Page 2 of 6IL.

Write your answer in the numbered box on your answer sheet. (1 point) Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth's history called the Mesozoic Era, which is also known as the Age of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of years, they dominated the land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to re-emerge. ‘The word “dinosaur” comes from two Greek words meaning “terrible lizard”. Dinosaurs were not lizards, but their appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as a mature elephant and nearly equaled the size of most modem-day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur, and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however; some were actually no larger than a chicken. Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaurs to disappear. One theory involves a change in Page 3 of 8the earth's climate. It is believed that temperatures dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection, itis possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive. 1. What is the best title for this passage? ‘A. The History of Earth B. Earth's Largest Reptiles C.

(1 point) MY SON’S A COMPUTER GENIUS ‘Tom Hadfield created a $15 m Internet business by the age of 16. His father describes life with a child prodigy. ‘Tom was always advanced for his age. He learned to walk and talk early, and was fascinated by words and numbers. He was only two when he got his first computer. In fact, it was bought for his older sister. Even before his aptitude for mathematics became apparent, Tom was teaching himself to play chess on it. @) F. Although Tom’s sister attended the local primary school, Tom never quite settled in at the neighbourhood playground. Instead, he preferred to play by himself at home. Early pastimes included shuffling and memorizing the order of two packs of playing cards, or working out how many seconds there are in a day, a week, a year Page 4 of 8We hoped that school would keep him occupied, but although he enjoyed the many friends he made, he soon grew bored with lessons. It wasn’t the teachers’ fault. (1) __. What about his friends? What ‘would happen when he was in the top year? The proposed solution raised more problems than it tried to solve. By the time he was seven or eight, Tom was playing football regularly for his school and for a team organized by supporters of the local football club. His skills as a businessman had begun to show through as well. He washed our car, and those of the neighbours, for 50p each. (2)__. He preferred to invest it in a bucket, sponge and bottle of car shampoo. Secondary schools began and Tom soon discovered the World Wide Web. For his twelfth birthday, we got him “wired up,” largely because this was the only way to get him home from the house of a friend who already had Internet access. (3) _. We leamed later that Tom was already planning then to postpone serious studying until the year he took his final exams at 16. Tom says that he drew up the business plan for Soccemet, now the world’s most popular football website, while he was daydreaming in a lesson. Since then, its success has provided his father with full-time employment, generated millions of dollars in advertising, and now attracts more than seven million readers a year. The site is now valued at $ 15m. (4).

Write your answer in the numbered box on your answer sheet. (1 point) Meet the Amazing Watkins Family The sons are composers and prize-winning musicians, while Dad makes the instruments. Matthew ye reports. Whole families of musicians are not exactly rare. However, it is unusual to come across one that includes not only writers and performers of music, but also an instrument maker. When South Wales schoolteachers John and Hetty Watkins needed to get their ten-year-old son, Paul, a cello to suit his blossoming talents, they baulked at the costs involved. “We had a look at various dealers and it was obvious it was going to be very expensive,” John says. “So I wondered if I could actually make one. I discovered that the Welsh School of Instrument Making was not far from where I lived, and I went along for evening classes once a week for about three years.” “After probably three or four goes with violins and violas, he had a erack at his first cello,” Paul, now 28, adds, “It turned out really well. He made me another one a bit later, when he'd got the hang of it. And that’s the one I used right up until a few months ago.” John has since retired as a teacher to work as a full-time craftsman, and makes up to a dozen violins a year — selling one to the esteemed American player Jaime Laredo was “the icing on the cake”. Both Paul and his younger brother, Huw, were encouraged to play music from an early ag The piano came first: “As soon as I was big enough to climb up and bang the keys, that’s what I di Paul remembers. But it wasn’t long before the cello beckoned. “My folks were really quite keen for me to take up the violin, because Dad, who played the viola, used to play chamber music with his mates and they needed another violin to make up a string trio. I learned it for about six weeks but didn’t take to it, But I really took to the character who played the cello in Dad’s group. I thought he was a very cool guy when I was six or seven. So he said he’d give me some lessons, and that really started it all off. Later, they suggested that my brother play the violin too, but he would have none of it.” “My parents were both supportive and relaxed,” Huw says. “I don't think I would have responded very well to being pushed. And, rather than feeling threatened by Paul's success, I found that I had something to aspire to.” Now 22, he is beginning to make his own mark as a pianist and composer. Trang 3Meanwhile, John Watkins’ cello has done his elder son proud. With it, Paul won the string final of the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition. Then, at the remarkably youthful age of 20, he was appointed principal cellist of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, a position he held, still playing his father’s instrument, until last year. Now, however, he has acquired a Francesco Rugeri cello, on loan from the Royal Academy of Music. “Dad’s not said anything about me moving on, though recently he had the chance to run a bow across the strings of each in tun and had to admit that my new one is quite nice! I think the only thing Dad’s doesn’t have ~ and may acquire after about 50 — 100 years — is the power to project right to the back of large concert halls. It will get richer with age, like my Rugeri, which is already 304 years old.” Soon he will be seen on television playing the Rugeri as the soloist in Elgar's Cello Concerto, which forms the heart of the second programme in the new series, Masterworks. “The well-known performance history doesn’t affect the way I play the work,” he says. “I'm always going to do it my way.” But Paul won't be able to watch himself on television — the same night he is playing at the Cheltenham Festival. Nor will Huw, whose String Quartet is receiving its London premiere at the Wigmore Hall the same evening. John and Hetty will have to be diplomatic — and energetic — if they are to keep track of all their sons’ musical activities over the coming weeks. 1. Why did John Watkins decide to make a cello? A.

(1 point) UNDERWATER WORLD If you want to dive in clear blue waters, find rich marine life and swim over the remains thrown away by ancient sailors, the tiny island of Ustica is the place to go. This island, 60km from the Italian coast, is the site of Europe’s only underwater museum. (0) D_, The clear waters attract some of the world’s best underwater divers. The International Academy of Underwater Sciences, which was set up to encourage underwater exploration, is based in Ustica. (I)__. Dr Honor Frost, a Bristish underwater archaeologist and Golden Triden winner, believes that Ustica shows that some underwater remains are best life in the surroundings where they have been preserved for centuries. (2) According to Frost, the establishment of the underwater museum has made an interesting area of sea floor, together with the objects which fell to it in antiquity, safe for future study. (3) For example, it is puzzling that only iron anchors of quite a late date seem to have been lost there, despite local evidence of sea trade during a period nearly four thousand years ago, when stone anchors would have been in use. Among the anchors and other remains there are an extraordinary number of Roman millstones, which were widely traded throughout the ancient world. (4) Many questions remain to be answered about the museum site. However, this section of the museum, although already accessible to diving visitor, still contains material of interest to researchers. C Made of volcanic rock, they were carried by corn ships heading from Rome to the ports of the north African coast. D _ Only here can divers explore labelled exhibits such as anchors, pots and millstones, which fell to the sea floor centuries ago. This gives divers the experience of underwater archaeology without disturbing important sites.

For questions 1-5, choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the article. Write your answers in the numbered box on your answer sheet. (1 point) ‘The Minister of Education was interviewed on the radio last week about his plans for raising reading standards. He talked about the need to reach a wider public, speaking enthusiastically about new ways to achieve this, such as by advertising on television, by handing out books to babies at their nine-month health checks, and, most significantly, through the cooperation of three leading television Soap opera producers, who have been persuaded to weave into the plot the message that reading is good for you. There was no mistaking the radio interviewer's disapproval — soap operas tailoring their storylines to government initiatives? ‘Indoctrination,’ he muttered. Television, however, is the obvious place to go in search of lost readers. There is hardly much point using the public library or the local bookshop to promote reading, as those who don’t read rarely enter either, and probably associate both with the school classroom, and consequently with activities, which are boring. Today, whether we like it or not, film and television are the point of entry for large numbers of people into the delights of storytelling and the appreciation of a good plot. Think how many people have bought copies of the ‘book of the TV drama’. This phenomenon took one nineteenth-century novel to number one in the bestsellers’ list recently. ‘When I was a student in the 1960s, I was taught that popular culture — pulp fiction and romance ~ manipulated the working classes, persuading them to be obedient to those above them, making them want less in life and be happy with second best. Now, | believe that argument was a piece of appalling elitism. All those who consume popular culture know exactly what its effect on them is. In our media- aware society, each of us makes a decision whether to ‘buy in’ and join the crowd, or stay out and be different. Soap operas are the place where huge numbers of adults and young people alike tap into the common concems of everyday life. Day-time viewers turn to them for companionship, treating every desperate choice to be made by the characters as their own. The popularity of an individual programme depends on the script-writers catching the mood of the general public. Plots are tightly steered towards the things we care about, from the trivial ups and downs of our personal relationships to the shame of domestic violence. Of course, there is always the danger that those in authority might try to take over our minds via our favourite forms of entertainment. But I think we can rely on the fact that political messages, however cleverly put across, always appear bossy and aggressive. That's why we usually vote with our feet during a party political broadcast, whatever the party. The joy of fiction, on the other hand — and a Soap is, after all, a form of modern fiction — is that it is bound to adapt its ‘public information’ material, in order to create emotional intensity, pace and drama. Under these conditions, indoctrination cannot ‘occur, When the soap opera Coronation Street shows a father who dropped out of schoo! being caught off guard by his five-year-old son, unable to read his bedtime story book, nobody watching is being forced to enrol in adult reading classes.

The search for the perfect shot. Of all the creatures to be found in the jungles and plains of East Africa, two of the hardest to track down must surely be producer Amanda Barrett and cameraman Owen Newman, Their present habitat, the Ngorongoro Crater, has been lashed by six months of almost continuous rain, giving rise to a number of unforeseen problems (0) _E _.

Travelling film- makers have been constantly circling the globe, in order to point cameras at exotic wildlife ever since the birth of television.

For questions 1-5, choose the answer A, B, C or D which you think fits best according to the article. (1.0 point) The Body Clock Why is it that flying to New York from’ London will leave you feeling less tired than flying to London from New York? The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with technology. Deep inside the brain there is a “clock” that governs every aspect of the body’s functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness, performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on. It regulates all of these functions on a 24-hour basis and is called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa “about” + dies “day”). This body clock programs us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and again between 3-5 p.m. Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon. One of the major causes of the travelers’ malady known as jet lag is the non-alignment of a person’s internal body clock with clocks in the external world. Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has to adjust to the new time and patterns of light and activity. To make matters more complex, not all internal body functions adjust at the same rate. So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one rate, while your temperature adjusts at a different pace. Your digestion may be on a different schedule altogether. Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day beyond 24 hours. It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day. That is why travelling in a westward direction is more body-clock friendly than flying east. NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated with significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights. When flying west, you are “extending” your day, thus travelling in the natural direction of your internal clock. Flying eastward will involve “shrinking” or reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock’s natural tendency, One of the most common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted. There are many reasons for this: changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels, trying to sleep when your body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal circadian clock and working longer hours. Sleep loss, jet lag and fatigue can seriously affect our ability to function well. Judgment and decision-making can be reduced by 50%, attention by 75 percent, memory by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent. It is often suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to help you adjust to your destination’s schedule as soon as you arrive. But it can take the body clock several days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone. 1.

(1.0 point) The First Picture of Earth from Space by Steve Connor The first picture of our world taken from space was published over 40 years ago, yet it still has remarkable power. They went to the moon, but ended up discovering the Earth. (0) _G_. The only exception was the astonishing sight of seeing our own planet above the horizon of the moon. It later became known as “Earthrise”, from the word sunrise. This image of a small blue world rising in the dark vastness of space over the sun-lit surface of the moon was to become a constant reminder of just how alone, and how delicate, our planet really is. (6) Remarkably, it was taken over 40 years ago. The three-man crew of Apollo 8 — Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders — were the first people to circle the moon. They flew around the far side, which is not visible from Earth. ‘They were also in effect the first people to lose contact with their own planet. They were not able to see or radio Earth for the duration of their journey behind the moon, and it was only when they had completed the orbit that they could again communicate with Mission Control Centre in Houston, Texas. Pethaps surprisingly, for the first few orbits the crew had their back to the Earth as it reappeared over the moon’s horizon and did not see the now-famous view that would change their lives. (7) __. “Look at that picture over there! Isn’t that something?” he said, his words captured for history on the on-board tape recorder. ‘They quickly searched for a camera — the first couple of images of “Earthrise” were in black and white, the following photos were taken in color. It is these photographs, taken approximately 350,000 kilometres from Earth, that became the favorite images of the environmental movement. (8) ___. It was a symbol of warmth and life in a bare desert of deathly coldness. Trang 3/7“Earthrise” would change forever our view of our own planet. It summed up the fragility of a place that seems so immense to the people who live there, but so tiny when viewed from the relatively short distance of its companion in space. Following the 1968 pictures, hundreds of still images were taken of Earth during the nine Apollo flights to the moon, but in 1972 manned flights to the moon ended. Consequently, only 24 people have actually seen the whole of the Earth from space. Astronomer Carl Sagan caught the mood well when another picture of Earth was taken from space, by the Voyager | spacecraft in 1990. (9) ___. In this picture, the Earth appeared as a “pale blue dot” surrounded by the vastness of space, like a tiny bit of dust caught in the sunshine. “Look again at that dot,” he said a few years later. “That's here. That’s home. That’s us. (10)__. Our imagined self-importance, the false belief that we have some special position in the universe, is challenged by this point of light. Our planet is a lonely little place in endless space.” A. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being ‘who ever was, lived out their lives. BB.
