In the very distant geological past, all animals were aquatic The very first vertebrates or animals with backbones, of which we have any fossil record, lived in water These vertebrates, the fish , were adapted to underwater living Their streamlined bodies were covered with scales to reduce surface friction: they had
Trang 2gills for breathing underwater
Descendants of fish-type ancestors crossed the seashore barrier and accommodated themselves to life on
land
As amphibians, they possessed limbs instead of fins and lungs instead of gills But they never became completely free of the bonds that tied them to the water; even today many amphibians return to the water to lay their eggs
Millions of years after the first clumsy amphibians crawled over the land, newer types of land dwellers
appeared, these animals give rise to the present-day reptiles and mammals They were completely converted for
land dwelling, with bodies and biological activities far different from those of fish With these special adaptations, mammals have been able to colonize the woods and meadow, the deserts and high mountains, often far removed from the sea

a mammals b birds c Amphibians d fish
27 Fish are suited to underwater life because of their……
a Scales b Gills c Streamlines shapes d All are correct

31 An example of an amphibian’s incomplete adaptation to land life is…

32 Animals found desert living possible only…
a when they became amphibious b when they were fully adapted to land
c after they could walk on two feet D if they migrated to sea periodically
33 The seashore was a barrier for descendants of fish-type because……
a crossing it required bodily changes B the land once rose much higher above the sea
c every attempt to cross it ended in death D once they crossed, there was no return
34 The word “They” refers to…
a Animals b Reptiles and mammals c Land dwellers d Amphibians

There are three kinds of goals: short –term, medium – range and long- term goals Short- term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis Such goals can be achieved in
a week or less, or two weeks or possibly months It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals can not amount to very much without the achievement of solid short- term goals Upon completing our short- term goals, we should date the occasion and add new short- term goals that will build on those that have been completed
The intermediate goals that build on the foundation of the short- range goals They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year or they even extend for several years Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed AS you complete each step , you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed And as your list of compassion dates grows, your motivation and desire will increase
Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of future They might cover five years or more Life is not
a static thing We should never allow a long- term goal to limit us or our course of action
36 Our long-term goals mean a lot…
a if we can’t reach solid short- term goals B if we complete our short- range goals
c if we write down the date d if we put forward some plans
