Western people rely on technical and mechanical solutions in everything they do
Refrigerators preserve their food, washing machines clean their underwear and computers are supposed to solve all their problems When they are ill, they rely on the surgeon’s knife If their hearts are running down, then they must be repaired, if they cannot be repaired, they should be replaced, just as an old car sometimes gets a new engine But up to now we have had a shortage of donors to give their hearts, to keep one person alive, another donor had to die
Nowadays there is more and more talk about using monkeys Every monkey has a near-human heart, and humans have always been over careful in respecting the lives and well-being of other

Monkeys, on the whole, are happier creatures than their near relatives, Homo sapiens, or man Theyknow fear, of course, and they face real dangers, but they are also more intelligent than us They create no unnecessary dangers for themselves, they run no businesses, chase no money, are unimpressed by gold – that utterly useless metal, and they do not care at all about hell or evil spirits

Dogs are either optimists or pessimists, claim scientists
Scientists have confirmed what many pet owners have long suspected: some dogs have a more gloomy outlook on life than others The unusual insight into canine psychology emerged from a study by Bristol University researchers into how dogs behave when separated from their owners Dogs that were generally calm when left alone were also found to have a “dog bowl half full” attitude
to life, while those that barked, relieved themselves and destroyed furniture appeared to be more pessimistic, the study concluded
Michael Mendl, head of animal welfare and behaviour at the university, said the more anxiously a dog behaved on being parted from its owner, the more gloomy its outlook appeared to be The findings suggest that the trouble caused by some dogs when they are left alone may reflect deeper emotional problems that could be treated with behavioural therapy
Trang 5“Owners vary in how they perceive this kind of anxious behaviour in dogs Some are very
concerned, some relinquish the dog to a refuge, but others think the dog is happy or even being intentionally spiteful,” said Mendl “At least some of these dogs may have emotional issues and we would encourage owners to talk to their vets about potential treatments,” he added Of the ten millionpet dogs in the UK, around half may show separation anxiety at some stage, the researchers said.Mendl’s team studied 24 animals at two dog homes in the UK Half of the dogs were male and they were various breeds, including Staffordshire bull terriers, golden retrievers and collies They ranged from nine months to nine years old Researchers began the study by going to a room with each dog
in turn and playing for 20 minutes They returned the next day, but this time left the dog alone for fiveminutes, during which the scientists recorded the animal’s behaviour with a video camera The footage was used to give each dog an anxiety score
A day or two later, the dogs were trained to walk over to a food bowl that was full when placed at one end of a room and empty when placed at the other When the dogs had learned the difference, the scientists tested the animals’ underlying mood by placing bowls in ambiguous positions – in the middle of the room, for example – and noting how quickly each dog went to the bowl
The dogs that had been most anxious in the earlier test were slowest to approach food bowls placed
in or near the middle of the room, suggesting they expected to find the bowl empty The less anxiousdogs ran to the food bowls, implying they were more optimistic, according to a report in Current Biology
“We know that people’s emotional states affect their judgements and that happy people are more likely to judge an ambiguous situation positively,” Mendl said “What our study has shown is that this applies similarly to dogs – that a glass-half-full dog is less likely to be anxious when left alone than one with a more pessimistic nature.” Samantha Gaines, deputy head of the companion animals department at the RSPCA, said: “Some dogs may be more prone to develop these behaviours and should be re-homed with appropriate owners.”

According to airline industry statistics, almost 90 percent of airline accidents are survivable or
partially survivable But passengers can increase their chances of survival by learning and following certain tips Experts say that you should read and listen to safety instructions before takeoff and ask questions if you have uncertainties You should fasten your seat-belt low on your hips and as tightly
as possible Of course, you should also know how the release mechanism of your belt operates During takeoffs and landings, you are advised to keep your feet flat on the floor Before takeoff you should locate the nearest exit and an alterative exit and count the rows of seats between you and the exits so that you can find them in the dark if necessary
In the event that you are forewarned of a possible accident, you should put your hands on your ankles and keep your head down until the plane comes to a complete stop If smoke is present in thecabin, you should keep your head low and cover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing If possible, wet these for added protection against smoke inhalation To evacuate as quickly as
possible, follow crew commands and do not take personal belongings with you Do not jump on escape slides before they are fully inflated, and when you jump, do so with your arms and legs extended in front of you When you get to the ground, you should move away from the plane as quickly as possible, and never smoke near the wreckage

You are aware that the enzyme hunters have been replaced by a new breed of hunters who are tracking the blueprints for each of the enzymes-and are discovering the defective genes that cause inherited diseases-diabetes, cystic fibrosis These gene hunters, or genetic engineers, use recombinant DNA technology to

production of hormones and vaccines for medicine and for better crops for agriculture Biotechnology has become a multibillion-dollar industry

In the mid-nineteenth century, the United States had tremendous natural resources that could be exploited in order to develop heavy industry Most of the raw materials that are valuable in the manufacture of machinery, transportation facilities, and consumer goods lay ready to be worked into wealth Iron, coal, and oil-the
basic ingredients of industrial growth - were plentiful and needed only the application of technical expertise,
organizational skill, and labor
One crucial development in this movement toward industrialization was the growth of the railroads The
railway network expanded rapidly until the railroad map of the United States looked like a spider's web,
with the steel filaments connecting all important sources of raw materials, their places of manufacture, and their centers of distribution The railroads contributed to the industrial growth not only by connecting these
major centers, but also by themselves consuming enormous amounts of fuel, iron, and coal.
Many factors influenced emerging modes of production For example, machine tools, the tools used to make goods, were steadily improved in the latter part of the nineteenth century-always with an eye to speedier production and lower unit costs The products of the factories were rapidly absorbed by the growing cities that
sheltered the workers and the distributors The increased urban population was nourished by the increased
farm production that, in turn, was made more productive by the use of the new farm machinery American agricultural production kept up with the urban demand and still had surpluses for sale to the industrial centers
of Europe
The labor that ran the factories and built the railways was recruited in part from American farm areas where people were being displaced by farm machinery, in part from Asia, and in part from Europe Europe now began to send tides of immigrants from eastern and southern Europe-most of whom were originally poor farmers but who settled in American industrial cities The money to finance this tremendous expansion of the American economy still came from European financiers for the most part, but the Americans were approachingthe day when their expansion could be financed in their own "money market."
According to the passage, all of the following were true of railroads in the United States in the nineteenth century EXCEPT that

The first two decades of this century were dominated by the microbe hunters These hunters had tracked down one after another of the microbes responsible for the most dreaded scourges of many centuries: tuberculosis,
cholera, diphtheria But there remained some terrible diseases for which no microbe could be incriminated:
scurvy, pellagra, rickets, beriberi Then it was discovered that these diseases were caused by the lack of vitamins, a trace substance in the diet The diseases could be prevented or cured by consuming foods that contained the vitamins And so in the decades of the 1920's and 1930's, nutrition became a science and the vitamin hunters replaced the microbe hunters

Trang 21Almost everyone with or without a computer is aware of the latest technological revolution destined
to change forever the way in which humans communicate, namely, the Information Superhighway, best exemplified by the ubiquitous Internet Already, millions of people around the world are linked
by computer simply by having a modem and an address on the 'Net', in much the same way that owning a telephone links us to almost anyone who pays a phone bill In fact, since the computer connections are made via the phone line, the Internet can be envisaged as a network of visual telephone links It remains to be seen in which direction the Information Superhighway is headed, but many believe it is the educational hope of the future
The World Wide Web, an enormous collection of Internet addresses or sites, all of which can be accessed for information, has been mainly responsible for the increase in interest in the Internet in the 1990s Before the World Wide Web, the 'Net' was comparable to an integrated collection of computerised typewriters, but the introduction of the 'Web' in 1990 allowed not only text links to be made but also graphs, images and even video A Web site consists of a 'home page', the first screen
of a particular site on the computer to which you are connected, from where access can be had to other subject related 'pages' at the site and to thousands of other computers all over the world This
is achieved by a process called 'hypertext' By clicking with a mouse device on various parts of the screen, a person connected to the 'Net' can go travelling, or 'surfing' through a web of pages to locate whatever information is required
Anyone can set up a site; promoting your club, your institution, your company's products or simply yourself, is what the Web and the Internet is all about And what is more, information on the Internet

up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against enemies They were
really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized since they called them
“pueblos,” which is Spanish for towns

The painter Craigie Aitchison was born in Scotland He came to London intending to study law, but went to art school instead There he found the traditional drawing classes difficult, but still kept on painting
In his late twenties he was given money by the Italian government to study art, and became
interested in early Italian artists, which shows in some of his work He loved the greens and browns
of the Italian fields and the clear light there, and wanted to put this light into his paintings
This led him to paint colours thinly one on top of another from light to dark, but he insists he's never sure what the results will be He says, 'It's a secret - because I don't know myself I don't start by painting yellow, knowing I'm going to put anything on top.' Like most talented people, Aitchison makes it sound easy 'Anyone can do the colours - you can buy them I simply notice what you put the colours next to.'
Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting, as he feels that if he did, he might get bored and not do the painting afterwards Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings many times before they are finished This explains why his favourite models are people who don't ask to see their pictures while he's painting them 'If I feel they're worried and want to look at the painting, I can't do it.'
Trang 29Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of the Scottish painting scene He says he is not interested in following any tradition, but just paints the way he can However, his work still influences young British painters.
What might a visitor at an exhibition say about Aitchison’s work?

a I love his recent painting of Scotland, whaich are similar to a number of other Scottish painters

As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe — sun-baked brick plastered with mud Their homes looked remarkably like modem apartment houses Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods These buildings were usually put
up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against enemies They were
really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized since they called them
“pueblos,” which is Spanish for towns
The people of the pueblos raised what are called “the three sisters” — corns, beans, and squash They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water The Southwest has always been a dry country, where water is scarce The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches Water was so important that it played a major role in their religion They developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals
to bring rain
The way of life of less-settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean They gathered seeds and hunted small animals such as rabbits and snakes In the Far North the ancestors of today’s Inuit hunted seals, walnises, and the great whales They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocks of packed snow When summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou

The painter Craigie Aitchison was born in Scotland He came to London intending to study law, but went to art school instead There he found the traditional drawing classes difficult, but still kept on painting
In his late twenties he was given money by the Italian government to study art, and became
interested in early Italian artists, which shows in some of his work He loved the greens and browns
of the Italian fields and the clear light there, and wanted to put this light into his paintings
This led him to paint colours thinly one on top of another from light to dark, but he insists he's never sure what the results will be He says, 'It's a secret - because I don't know myself I don't start by painting yellow, knowing I'm going to put anything on top.' Like most talented people, Aitchison makes it sound easy 'Anyone can do the colours - you can buy them I simply notice what you put the colours next to.'
Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting, as he feels that if he did, he might get bored and not do the painting afterwards Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings many times before they are finished This explains why his favourite models are people who don't ask to see their pictures while he's painting them 'If I feel they're worried and want to look at the painting, I can't do it.'
Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of the Scottish painting scene He says he is not interested in following any tradition, but just paints the way he can However, his work still influences young British painters
