Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best way to make an importantdecision, such as choosing a university to attend or business to invest in, involves the utilization
of a decision worksheet Psychologists who study optimization compare the actual decisions
made by people to theretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are Proponents of the
Trang 4worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions Although there
are several variations on the exact format that worksheets cam take, they are all similar in their
essential aspects.
Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possiblesolutions to the problem Next, the pertinent considerations that all possible solutions to theproblem Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, andthe relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined Each consideration
is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance A decision is mathematicallycalculated by adding these values together The alternative with the highest number of pointsemerges as the best decision
Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from,each with unique advantages and disadvantages One of the benefits of a pencil and paperdecision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds
can generally comprehend and remember On the average, people can keep about seven ideas
in their minds at once A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large
number of variables with complex relationships A realistic example for many college students isthe question "What will I do after graduation?" A graduate might seek a position that offersspecialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year
A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help
to narrow it It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones.
Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to "Whatwill I do after graduation that will lead to a successful career?"

TRACKING THE SNOW LEOPARD
“When a snow leopard stalks its prey among the mountain walls, it moves softly, slowly,”explains Indian biologist Raghunandan Singh Chundawat, who has studied the animal for years
“If it knocks a stone loose, it will reach out a foot to stop it from falling and making noise.” Onemight be moving right now, perfectly silent, maybe close by But where? And how many are left
to see?
Best known for its spotted coat and long distinctive tail, the snow leopard is one of the world’smost secretive animals These elusive cats can only be found high in the remote, mountainous
Trang 7regions of central Asia For this reason, and because they hunt primarily at night, they are veryrarely seen.
Snow leopards have been officially protected since 1975, but enforcing this law has provendifficult Many continue to be killed for their fur and body parts, which are worth a fortune onthe black market In recent years, though, conflict with local herders has also led to a number of
snow leopard deaths This is because the big cats kill the herders’ animals, and drag the bodies
away to eat high up in the mountains
As a result of these pressures, the current snow leopard population is estimated at only 4,000 to7,000, and some fear that the actual number may already have dropped below 3,500 The only
way to reverse this trend and bring these cats back from near extinction, say conservationists, is
to make them more valuable alive than dead
Because farming is difficult in Central Asia’s cold, dry landscape, traditional cultures dependmostly on livestock (mainly sheep and goats) to survive in these mountainous regions At night,when snow leopards hunt, herders’ animals are in danger of snow leopard attacks Losing only afew animals can push a family into desperate poverty “The wolf comes and kills, eats, and goessomewhere else,” said one herder, “but snow leopards are always around They have killed one
or two animals many time Everybody wanted to finish this leopard.”
To address this problem, local religious leaders have called for an end to snow leopard killings,
saying that these wild animals have the right to exist peacefully They’ve also tried to convincepeople that the leopards are quite rare and thus it is important to protect them Financialincentives are also helping to slow snow leopard killings The organization Snow LeopardConservancy–India has established Himalayan Homestays, a program that sends visitors to theregion to herders’ houses For a clean room and bed, meals with the family, and an introduction
to their culture, visitors pay about ten U.S dollars a night Having guests once every two weeksthrough the tourist season provides the herders with enough income to replace the animals lost tosnow leopards In addition, Homestays helps herders build protective fences that keep out snowleopards The organization also conducts environmental classes at village schools and trainsHomestays members as nature guides, available for hire In exchange, the herders agree not tokill snow leopards
In Mongolia, a project called Snow Leopard Enterprises (SLE) helps herder communities earnextra money in exchange for their promise to protect the endangered cat Women in Mongolianherder communities make a variety of products—yarn for making clothes, decorative floor rugs,and toys—using the wool from their herds SLE buys these items from herding families and sells
Trang 8them abroad Herders must agree to protect the snow leopards and to encourage neighbors to dothe same.
The arrangement increases herders’ incomes by 10 to 15 percent and “elevates” the status of the
women If no one in the community kills the protected animals over the course of a year, theprogram members are rewarded with a 20 percent bonus in addition to the money they’vealready made An independent review in 2006 found no snow leopard killings in areas whereSLE operates Today the organization continues to add more communities
Projects like the Homestays program in India and SLE’s business in Mongolia are doing well,though they cover only a small part of the snow leopard’s homeland, they make the leopardsmore valuable to more people each year If these programs continue to do well, the snow leopardmay just have a figting chance

A The organization helps herders to build fences
B Herders provide accommodation to guests.

B to elevate the status of the women in the communities
C to increase the population of snow leopards in wildlife reserves
D to make local people have a sustainable life to protect snow leopards
Question43: The phrase “this trend” in paragraph 4 refers to
A the fall in the snow leopard population B the pressures caused by the black market
C increasing conflict with the herders D the opinions of conservationists
Question44: What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A Local herders are uncooperative in attempts to save snow leopards.
B The snow leopard’s endangerment is due to in part to the black market.
C Snow leopards are killed for their fur and body parts.
D It is difficult to enforce the laws made to protect the snow leopard.

B They are saving money for the snow leopards.
