of Radiation Ordinary light, from the Sun or a light bulb, is emitted spontaneously, when atoms or molecules get rid of the excess energy by themselves, without any outside intervention Stimulated emission is difference because it occurs when an atom or molecule holding onto excess energy has been stimulated to emit it as light Albert Einstein was the first suggest the existence of stimulated emission in a paper published in 1917 However, for many years, physicists thought that atoms and molecules always were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulated emission thus always would be much weak It was not until after the Second World War that physicists began trying to make stimulated emission dominate They sought ways by which one atom or molecule could stimulate many other to emit light, amplifying it to much higher powers The first to succeed was Charles H Townes, then at Columbia University in New York Instead of working with light, however, he works with microwaves, which have a much longer wavelength, and built a device he called a “maser”, for Microwave Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation Although he thought of the key idea in 1951, the first maser was not completed until a couple of years laterly Before long, many other physicists were building masers and trying to discover to produce stimulated emission at even shorter wavelengths The key concepts emerged about 1957 Townes and Arthur Schawlow, then at Bell Telephone Laboratories, wrote a long paper outlining the conditions needed to amplify stimulated emission of visible light waves At about a same time, similar ideas crystallized in the mind of Gordon Gould, then a 37-year-old graduate student at Columbia, who wrote them down in a series of notebooks Townes and Schawlow published their ideas in a scientific journal, Physical Review Letters, but Gould filed a patent application Three decade later, people still argue about who deserves the credit for the concept of the laser V There're twenty mistakes in this passage Find them and correct them Six year ago when I was a student, I was short for money So once a week I had to go home to see my parents

It is a question that it is very difficulty to answer The daily and weekly variations in weather is so great that it takes years of careful measurement to detect changes in the average weather for year to year, and to detect changes in the climate involves the worldwide application of a whole number of scientific investigation Howere, looking up the distant past and estimating what may happen in the future based on theoretical possibilities, it seems there are second possibilities The world could be slipping back towards another ice age But in the shorter term what man is doing may well lead for a heating up the planet which could delay, if not prevent, any forthcoming ice age It is suddenly and unexpected weather which made people wonder what is happening to our climate-like the oncein-a-lifetime experience of the vicious storm which swept southern England in Autumn 1987 The southern states of the USA are used to such storms, the southern part of Britain isn’t And when

mistakes in this passage Find them and correct them If you were to stop people on the street and asked them to name a ship which had been sunk, it is likely that nearly all of them would say the Titanic For the sinking of the Titanic was, if not the most tragic, certain the most famous sea disaster in the history of ocean travel The Titanic was built like a luxury liner, intended to be the fastest in the world, and a great deal of publicity had surrounded it The last point probably explains why so much important people from all walks of the life were on the boat when it went down The Titanic was on its maiden voyage to American in 1912 when it struck an iceberg and sink Of its 2,300 passengers, more than two-thirds were drowned Because of the Titanic was thought to be virtual unsinkable, no one was prepared for the tragedy There was total panic as very a few of the passengers had bothered to learn the necessary drill in the event of trouble There was severe short of lifeboats and those that were launched were still half-empty The one point of calm was to be found in the ballroom which the band carried on playing right to the end What makes the sink of the Titanic even more tragic is the fact that warnings of icebergs had been sent, yet the liner was still continuing at full speed In addition one ship was only ten miles away but did not received the distress signal One good thing did, however, result from disaster The whole question of safety at sea was looked at, resulting in much better satety measures, including stricter lifeboat regulations and the

technological developments have drastically changed human life on our planet, as well as our views both of ourselves as individuals in society and of the universe as a whole Maybe one of the most profound developments of the last decate is the discovery of recombinant DNA technology, which allows scientists to introduce genetic material (or genes) from one organism into another In its simplest form, the technology requires the isolation of a piece of DNA, either directly from the DNA of the organism understudy or artificially synthesized from an RNA template, by using a viral enzyme called reverse transcriptase The piece of DNA is then ligated to a fragment of bacterial DNA which has the capacity to replicate itself independently The recombinant molecule thus produced can be introduced into the common intestinal bacterium Escherishchia coli, which can be grown in very large amounts in synthetic media Under proper conditions, the foreign gene will not only replicate in the bacteria, but also express itself, through the process of transcription and translation, to give rise to large amounts of the specific protein coded by the foreign gene The technology has already been successfully applied to the production of several therapeutically important biomolecules, such as insulin, interferon, and growth hormones Many other important applications are under detailed investigation in laboratories throughout the world XX There're ten mistakes in this passage Find them and correct them WILD STORIES A staple of newspapers everywhere are those stories that run under the "Man Bites Dog" headline From France comes the story of an attack on an old man near Calais carried out by a swarm of bees The scenario might have pleased Hitchcock The victim was sunning himself in his garden at the time The firemen were called but were driven back into their van by the ferocity of the insects After 45 minutes someone arrived with protective clothing and insecticide By then the man sitting in the deck chair was dead, covered in hundreds of stings, most of them on his eyelids The French liked the story from London about grafting a pig's kidneys on to a human patient They went for the animal rights angle They like the idea of putting a security ring round the hospital to repel people who are intent on rescuing the pig from dismemberment From London, too, came the story of:the brown paper parcel in London's main parcel sorting office, a parcel which moved Packages not normally move very quickly through the post office at the best of times, but this one was definitely frisky A lady customs officer was summoned to X-ray the package The X-ray revealed a poisonous reptile called a gila monster wrapped in a sock The subsequent police trail led to a salesman in Hampshire whose back bedroom was filled with rattlesnakes, lethal lizards, snapping turtles and a python, most of which he had sent himself through the post Mr Harry Nguyen – dihocando@gmail.com CORRECTED MISTAKES An animal story which made the British papers a couple of years ago was the report that staff at Stockholm's Skansen Park zoo had raffled the remains of a favourite bear cub, and that the winners had taken home a joint for the pot "How could they? How can staff give a cub a name, look after her for a year or two, and then end up sneaking her on to the dinner table," asked Malin Bergman, 15, winner of a national competition to pick a name for the cub, called Molly A Swedish newspaper columnist said she had been swamped with calls from readers in tears She said: "It sounds bizarre to eat up an animal that has been given a name and a national identity Dog meat is popular in China and Korea, but people there don't eat Oscar the family chow." The superintendent of the zoo was quoted as saying that while people did not like to see "teddy bears" eaten, "it's worse to destroy meat in a world that hungers." The whole business of eating dog could be the answer to a crisis in Britain's cities The country is suffering from half a million stray dogs 1,000 are destroyed every day In one small town alone, £100,000 is spent each year catching stray dogs Terry Singh, the local dog-catcher, admits grimly: "Wee are chasing our tails In a town of half a million people, we have 50,000 stray dogs." In Britain, seven million dogs bite a quarter of a million people a year, at a cost of six million for casualty treatment They attack 10,000 farm animals, cause 50,000 road accidents, and require three million to be spent on kennelling and destruction Mr Singh says: "In my first year we had 775 complaints That was 10 years ago Our recent figures show we are dealing with six thousand dogs a year Everywhere you look in the town, on any patch of grass or street corner, you will see at least one stray dog We even get packs of dogs loose on housing estates Dog attacks have increased The craze of the moment is for owning Rottweilers and Dobermans."The city has two main dog kennels run by the RSPCA At one, two and a half thousand dogs are destroyed every year, put down with an injection of Pentobarbitone Considering what has been going on down at the farm, it may be safer to eat British dog rather than British beef It appears that British farmers have been feeding their cattle on processed artificial food which includes sheep carcasses infected with a brain disease called scrapie This practice was banned in 1988, but it appears that the disease has already been transmitted to British cattle The big question has been, if the disease can be transmitted from sheep to cattle, surely it follows that it can be transmitted from cattle to people The infection appears to be present in the immune system and in the brain and nervous system Evidence shows that there is a link between brain disease and the eating of sheep's heads in the Middle East In one instance, there is a high incidence of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a degenerative disease of the brain, among Libyan Jews, who eat sheep's eyes According to one researcher: "Steak has very little nervous tissue in it, and it is very unlikely to pass on disease But nothing would induce me to eat other parts of the animal." So it's goodbye to cervelle au beurre noisette and amourettes a la Tosca Life gets duller all the time XIV There're ten mistakes in this passage Find them and correct them A new British medical instrument is about to change dramatically out ability to recognize diseases hidden inside the body It is called the magnetic scanner, and it gives information about the body which current machines, such as the brain scanner and the more recent body scanner, cannot provide And unlike existing machines, the new machine does not use X-ray radiation waves, which make it much safer for patients Unlike existing scanners, a magnetic scanner can show the side or the back of a suspect part of the body Used on, for example, a lung with a suspected damage, it can turn the image of the lung to give a series of different views The scanner actually examines every side of the lung When examining the softer part of the body with existing scanners, doctors fi-equently have to use a contrast medium to make a muscular organ show up to X-ray waves, the usual ' contrast medium" given to patients before a stomach X- ray scan takes place is harmless, but for some brain scans so that it passes into the brain, this is unpleasant and painful and it can be dangerous The magnetic scanner needs no 'contrast medium" The new machine can also see in greater detail than ever before Growths of all kinds show up clearly on tb-e brain and so the dead patches which are the signs of the diseases, multiple sclerosis Until now patients complaining of double vision or inability to control their muscles from time to time could be suffering from multiple sclerosis or, equally, from some much more easily cured disease and a brain scanner could not distinguish between these with certainty The doctor can now definitely say whether or not cancer or multiple sclerosis is present Previously, these diseases have been missed and patients have been given false information about their health The technique is still improving with great speed: pictures produced a couple of years ago look very simple compared with those of today XIV There're ten mistakes in this passage Find them and correct them Things started to go wrong as soon as we got to the hotel We were all complete exhausted after our long journey and looking forward to shower and a rest However, we found that our room has not ready, which was very annoy, although the manager was extremely apologetic While we were waiting, we asked about the excursions to places of an interest which we had read about in brochure Imagine how we felt when we were told they had all been cancelled!

In this way, every one in town has a front-row seat for the two-mile parade XIV There're ten mistakes in this passage Find them and correct them Ever since the first news photo was made 140 years ago - a panoramic view of Hamburg after the big fire of 1842 - photojournalism has excelled in depicting horrors The pleasant, the ordinary rarely make the news Given the demand for sensational photographs, everyone regards press photographers as an overbearing lot, as mercenaries in the pay of public curiosity; ever in pursuit, flashgun at the ready, of the unsuspecting victim Armed to the teeth with the tools of their trade, they elbow their way through the crowd,.trampling on the gardens of the famous, jamming their feet into half-closed doors and lying in wait for the widow before the still-open grave But are press photographers really only cold "glass eyewitnesses"? Certainly, in talking to top photographers, the dilemma of this profession comes out: how can artistic senskivity be reconciled with the necessarily tough job of the reporter? Philip Jones Griffiths, despite having produced the most terrifying book of photographs on the Vietnam War ever seen and having been a reporter for twenty years, still has difficulty in photographing people in the street: "If you are sensitive enough to see unusual images, you are also sensitive and shy when you have to stick your lens into some stranger's face." Griffiths now knows instinctively how far he can go on each occasion He has learned to interpret the body language of the people around him and achieves what he wants by gentle persuasion: "So far I have never been attacked No one has ever thrown me out." Volker Hinz on the staff of the magazine Stern, is regarded by his colleagues as a tough nut who never takes no for an answer Yet he says for himself, "Deep down, I'm a shy person It costs me a great deal of psychological effort to have to elbow my way through a Mr Harry Nguyen – dihocando@gmail.com CORRECTED MISTAKES crowd of photographers to get to the front But what can you do? I have to get the best picture at all costs." Hinz also knows that cold routine can be dangerous "I have to work up enthusiasm for each new job I have to become more open and sensitive I have to be prepared for the unexpected." Being up close - that is the curse but also the strength of the photographic medium A reporter can his writing from a safe distance behind the lines, gather information second hand or even by sorting through files A photographer has no choice; he can't take photos from behind a desk, he has to be right where the action is This requires a special temperament "Occasionally photographers are little crazy, and almost always they are obsessed," writes Time magazine in a story on photojournalism Good photographers seldom fit the corporate mould They can be a nuisance; most are emotional Many of them are politically motivated and have a soft spot for the downtrodden, since everyday they have to cross the line towards poverty, sickness, mischief or simply towards the everyday lives of the common mass Photography is blue collar work It means dragging heavy equipment around, rain or shine, in heat and cold; it means hanging out at street comers - certainly not a noble profession XIV There're ten mistakes in this passage Find them and correct them Although most universities in the United States arre on the semester system, which offers classes on the fall and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring and summer quarters The academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each beginning in March, September, January; the Summer quarter June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of varying length There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system On the plus side, students who wish to complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters In addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any other quarters Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used efficiently to serve the greatest number of students But there are several disadvantges as well Many faculties complain that the eleven-week term is simply not long enough for them to cover the material required by most college courses Students also find it difficult to complete the assignements in such a short period of time In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of semester system, some colleges and universities have instituted a three-term trimester In fourteen weeks, faculties and students have more time to cover material and finish course requirements, but the additional term provides more options for admission during the year and accelerates rhe degree program for those students who wish to graduate early Mr Harry Nguyen – dihocando@gmail.com CORRECTED MISTAKES I The passage below contains 11 mistakes (0) has been done for you as an example IDENTIFY and CORRECT the other ten (1 p) all complete > completely Things started to go wrong as soon as we got to the hotel We were all complete exhausted after our long journey and looking forward to shower and a rest However, we found that our room has not ready, which was very annoy, although the manager was extremely apologetic While we were waiting, we asked about the excursions to places of an interest which we had read about in brochure Imagine how we felt when we were told they had all cancelled!
