The son of a mining inspector, Tchaikovsky studied music as a child and later studied composition at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. His greatest period of productivity occurred between 1876 and 1890, during which time he enjoyed the patronage of Madame Von Meck, a woman he never met, who gave him a living stipend of about $1,000.00 a year. Madame Von Meck later terminated her friendship with Tchaikovsky, as well as his living allowance when she, herself, was facing financial difficulties. It was during the time of Madame Von Meck's patronage, however, that Tchaikovsky created the music for which he is most famous, including the music for the ballets of "Swan Lake" and "The Sleeping Beauty". Tchaikovsky's music, well known for its rich melodic and sometimes melancholy passages, was one of the first that brought serious dramatic music to dance. Before this, little attention had been given to the music behind the dance.

In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word "radar", in fact, gets its name from the term "radio detection and ranging". "Ranging" is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms. Câu 66: What is the main topic of this passage? A. History of radar B. Types of ranging C. The nature of radar D. Alternatives to radar Câu 67: According to the passage, what can radar detect besides location of objects? A. Shape B. Weight C. Speed D.

Argumentative Câu 71: According to the passage, the distance between a radar set and an object can be determined by ______. A. the term "ranging" used for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set B. the time it takes for the radio waves to produce echoes and bounce off the object C. the time it takes for a burst of radio waves to produce echoes when the waves bounce off the object D. the time it takes for the echoes produced by the radio waves to return to the radar set Câu 72: Which type of waves does radar use?
