Southern Thailand was hit Thursday by the most severe haze from forest fires in Indonesia, forcing all schools in a province to close and disrupting fights in a popular tourist area, officially said
Trang 3The haze that has shrouded parts of Malaysia and Singapore for nearly two months reached hazardous levels in the southern Thai city of Songkhla, with the pollution index hitting a record-high reading of
365 A reading of 101-200 is unhealthy, 201-300 is very unhealthy and above 300 is hazardous
“This is a crisis,” said Halem Jemarican, head of the Southern Environment Office He said the pollution index in southern Thailand has never exceeded 300 before
Halem said his office has worked with other authorities to have all schools in Songkhla province send students home and all outdoor sports stadiums to close temporarily Warnings have been issued to
vulnerable people such as children, the elderly and people with illnesses not to go out of their homes.
“The wind speed is very low this year in the south, causing haze to stay in our skies longer,” Halem said by telephone
An airport official in Hat Yai, a popular tourist area, said three flights bound for Bangkok were delayed Thursday morning because of the haze A flight from Bangkok to Hat Yai was diverted to Surat Thani on Wednesday evening The official declined to be identified because of working rules
Local media reported that cloud seeding has been discussed as a way to dispel the haze in southern
Thailand, which is hundreds of kilometers (miles) from the forest fires in Indonesia's Sumatra island Southern Thailand boasts tropical beaches popular among tourists in Surat Thani and Phuket, two of the seven provinces suffering from the haze

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
There are two main hypothesis when it comes to explaining the emergence of modern humans There
are two main hypotheses when it comes to explaining the emergence of modern humans The ‘Out of
Africa’ theory holds that homo sapiens burst onto the scene as a new species around 150,000 to
200,000 years ago in Africa and subsequently replaced archaic humans such as the Neandertals The other model, known as multi-regional evolution or regional continuity, posits far more ancient and
diverse roots for our kind Proponents of this view believe that homo sapiens arose in Africa some 2
million years ago and evolved as a single species spread across the Old World, with populations in different regions linked through genetic and cultural exchange
Of these two models, Out of Africa, which was originally developed based on fossil evidence, and supported by much genetic research, has been favored by the majority of evolution scholars The vast majority of these genetic studies have focused on DNA from living populations, and although some small progress has been made in recovering DNA from Neandertal that appears to support multi-regionalism, the chance of recovering nuclear DNA from early human fossils is quite slim at present Fossils thus remain very much a part of the human origins debate
Another means of gathering theoretical evidence is through bones Examinations of early modern human skulls from Central Europe and Australia dated to between 20,000 and 30,000 years old have
suggested that both groups apparently exhibit traits seen in their Middle Eastern and African
predecessors But the early modern specimens from Central Europe also display Neandertal traits, and
the early modern Australians showed affinities to archaic Homofrom Indonesia Meanwhile, the debate
among paleoanthropologists continues , as supporters of the two hypotheses challenge the evidence and conclusions of each other

A: Evidence that supports the "Out of Africa" theory
B: Two hypotheses and some evidence on the human origins debate

A: The vast majority of genetic studies have focused on living populations
B: Early modern human skulls all support the same conclusions
