ages Sadly, we can no longer attribute the increasing decline in our wild animals and plant species to  "natural" processes          assign Many species are dying out because of exploitation, habitat alteration or destruction, pollution, or  the  overuse introduction of new species of plants and animals to an area The sun today is a yellow dwarf star, it is fueled

 centuries, several European nations instituted public­welfare programs ,h introduced But while this vision of America's National Parks is wholly accurate and sufficiently breathtaking, there's  more extremely impressive Each of these 388 places has a unique appeal - from the natural to the manmade, from the ethereal to the factual, from the subtle to the overwhelming - with the whole collection offering vacationers a nearly endless range of interests and activities in which to explore and indulge enjoy yourself TEST 21 However, unlike reptiles, amphibians never have claws on their toes or scales on their bodies plates covering the bodies of certain animals Amphibians were the first creatures to spend sizable amounts of their lives on land large This

to lung breather but also from vegetarians to insectivores change both their methods of breathing and their feeding habits Caudate amphibians, such as newts and salamanders, mostly have long tails and stubby legs thick and short Children exposed to high doses of lead often suffer permanent nerve damage, mental retardation, in contact with experience

dilapidated houses are particularly at risk broken down in danger TEST 22 The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave Illustrated yells 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     searching  for For example, while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to the same in a more luxurious setting elegant And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if  unsophisticated you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would demonstrate a lack of manners Cultured tact It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food  on the floor randomly The conclusion we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and locations of  infer restaurants determine etiquette appropriate to them, some rules apply to all restaurants TEST 23 Hut life bustles down below: a  cubic inch of topsoil may contain billions of  creatures Is very active Furthermore, those upstairs and downstairs forest denizens live closely linked lives related It also provides a bulwark against predators that roam the surface world barrier Soil creatures must be specially equipped in order to travel easily through their dark,  constricting  realm limiting While ants travel relatively far from their nests, earthworms work small ai'eas, reprocessing  vast amounts of soil into fertile "waste"   converting What forms of life were able to make such a drastic change in lifestyle? radical It turns out that some fossils can be extracted from these sediments by putting the rocks in an acid  bath removed In many instances the specimens are less than one­tenth of a millimeter in diameter cases Although they were entombed in the rocks for hundreds of millions of years, many of the fossils consist  trapped of the organic remains of the organism TEST 24 In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources capturing Conservation conflicts arise  when   natural­resource   shortages   develop   in   the   face   of   steadily  increasing  spring up demands from a growing human population For example, a river may supply  water for agricultural irrigation, habitat for fish, and water­ generated electricity for a factory.           provide Farmers, fishers, and industry leaders vie for unrestricted access to this river, but such freedom could  destroy the resource, and conservation methods are necessary to protect the river for future use ways TEST 25 Fish that live on the sea bottom benefit by being flat and hugging the contours swimming close to the seabed Conversely, fish such as plaice, sole, and halibut have become flat in a different way contrarily They use their whole, vertically flattened bodies as swimming surfaces, which undulate  through the  water as they move sway Without a vehicle, divers often became sluggish, and their mental concentration was severely limited slow moving Direct observations of the ocean floor can be made not only by divers but also by deep-diving submarines in the water and even by the technology of sophisticated aerial photography from vantage points above the surface of more than seven miles and cruise at depths of fifteen thousand feet travel at a constant speed In addition, radio-equipped buoys can be operated by remote control in order to transmit information  back to land­based laboratories via satellite   data TEST 26 When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their

day Cambodia near Lake Tonle Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Asia, Angkor was the seat of  power for the Khmer Empire from the ninth to the fifteenth century location The temples and palaces of Angkor were constructed around a series of artificial reservoirs and canals  which were annually flooded to capacity by the Mekong River Man­made Therefore it is speculated that the Khmer Empire may have fallen victim to its own decrepit infrastructure deteriorated Part of the desert stretched over southwest Arizona, part over southeast California and the rest over northwest Mexico Somewhat surprisingly, 80% of Arizona's population lives in the desert area, in towns  such   as   Tucson   and   Phoenix,   although   this   unique   area   only   accounts   for   20%>   of   Arizona's   total  territory land area The desert area is remarkable for its cacti, the main form of vegetation that can exist in such inhospitable  conditions harsh TEST 28 10 Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater  part of the tissues of all living things, the  crucial      larger problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those   forms  unable   to   withstand   its  desiccating effects the bobcat drying Its population are largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not  emaciated unhealthy Furthermore, the extension of the telegraph, combined with the invention of the steam-driven rotary printing press by Richard M Hoe in 1846, revolutionized the world of journalism.  transformed TEST 29 What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused Distressing situation almost entirely by the poachers who,   according   to   some   sources,   are   not   always   interested   in  material  illegal hunters

other   endangered   species,   are   a   valuable   part   of   the   world's  ecosystem Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated  large  amounts  of   land  to  animal reserves    set aside They then charge admission to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must  also

warped attitude of wildlife protection; we strive only to protect the  distorted beautiful, non­threatening parts of our environment During the 1980s, environmentalists in the United States protested the use of driftnets for tuna fishing   objected to in the Pacific Ocean since these nets also caught dolphins The environmentalists
