Broad-tailed hummingbirds often nest in quaking, slender deciduous trees with smooth, gray-green bark found in the Colorado Rockies of the Western United States After flying some 2,000 kilometres north from where they have wintered in Mexico, the hummingbirds need six weeks to build a nest, incubate their eggs, and raise the chicks A second nest is feasible only if the first fails early in the season Quality, not quantity, is what counts in hummingbird reproduction

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE DA VINCI CODE
In 2006, Sony Pictures released a remarkable and intriguing film entitled The Da Vinci Code, based on the novel of the same name by Dan Brown In the film, religious leaders and professors are in a race to discover the secrets of an organization called the Priory of Sion The biggest secret kept by this organization is supposedly that Jesus Christ and a woman whose name is recorded in the Bible as Mary Magdalene had a child, and that their family 55 line continues to this day In a TV interview, Dan Brown stated that, in his book, "all of the art, architecture, secret rituals, secret societies, all of that is historical fact." However, while the Priory of Sion did exist, it's nothing like the one which is so central to The Da Vinci Code
The Priory of Sion was started in France in 1956 by a skillful liar named Pierre Plantard Priory means religious house, and Sion was a hill in the town of Annemasse, where the Priory was started by Plantard and four of 60 his friends At first, their group fought for housing rights for local people, and their offices were at Plantard's apartment The organization promised to benefit the weak and the oppressed, and to good in general However, there was a darker side to the Plantard's Priory
Plantard actually hoped to use the Priory of Sion to claim to be a descendant of French kings Between the years 1961 and 1984, Plantard created the enigma of a much more powerful Priory than his insignificant organization 65 First, in order to give the impression that the Priory began in 1099, Plantard and his friend Philippe de Cherisey created documents, called the Secret Dossiers of Henri Lobineau, and illegally put them into the National Library of France Next, Plantard got author Gerard de Sede to write a book in 1967 using the false documents; the book became very popular in France This phenomenon is similar to the popularity of The Da Vinci Code,
where a book based on false information or speculation becomes popular 70
Matters were complicated when in 1969, an English actor and science-fiction writer named Henry Lincoln read Gerard de Sede's book Lincoln did not know of Plantard and his schemes, and may have been a victim of the hoax He seemed to believe what he read, and jumped to even more wild conclusions, which he published in his 1982 book, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail He and his co-authors declared as fact that the Priory started in 1099; that its leaders included Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Victor Hugo; that the Priory protects the descendants of Jesus 75 Christ and Mary Magdalene; and that these descendants ruled France from A.D 447 to 751 All this was based on reading a novel based on the false facts from documents which were a hoax Most modern historians not consider Lincoln's book to be a serious work of history
How can we be so sure that Plantard created this hoax? Well, the best witness to a crime is the criminal himself Over 100 hundred letters between Plantard, de Cherisey, and de Sede, discovered by researcher Jean-Luc 80 Chaumeil, show clearly that they were trying to pull an elaborate hoax In fact, in the 1990s, Plantard got in trouble with the law, and his house was searched Within it were found many false documents, most harmless, some of which said he was the true king of France As a final embarrassment, Plantard had to swear in a court of law that the enigma of the Priory of Sion was the work of his imagination Câu 66: What does the author hope to show in this passage?
A Dan Brown knew his book wasn't based on fact. B The Da Vinci Code is based on fact.
C Sony's movie The Da Vinci Code is better than Dan Brown's book. D The Priory of Sion was a hoax.
(9)A It was started in 1956 by Pierre Plantard B It is connected to the leaders of France.
C It has a secret about Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. D Its leader used to be Leonardo Da Vinci.
Câu 68: Why did Plantard put documents in the National Library of France? A He wanted Henry Lincoln to find them there.
B He believed that he knew the truth and wanted to tell everyone. C He wanted people to believe that the Priory began in 1099. D So that Gerard de Sede's book would sell more copies.
Câu 69: According to the passage, who did NOT know about the creation of the Priory of Sion hoax? A Gerard de Sede
B Philippe de Cherisey C Pierre Plantard D Henry Lincoln
Câu 70: Which claim was NOT made in The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail? A The Priory of Sion began in 1099.
B The Priory of Sion protects the descendants of Jesus Christ. C Pierre Plantard created the Secret Dossiers of Henri Lobineau. D Isaac Newton was a leader of the Priory of Sion.

The choice of where to build a nest is based not only on the branch itself but also on what hangs over it A crooked deformity in the nest branch, a second, unusually close branch overhead, or proximity to part of a trunk bowed by a past ice storm are features that provide shelter and make for an attractive nest site Scarcely larger than a halved golf ball, the nest is painstaking constructed of spider webs and plant down, decorated and camouflaged outside with paper-like bits of aspen bark held together with more strands of spider silk By early June it will hold two pea-sized eggs, which each weigh one-seventh of the mother’s weight, and in sixteen to nineteen days, two chicks

(19)The Priory of Sion was started in France in 1956 by a skillful liar named Pierre Plantard Priory means religious house, and Sion was a hill in the town of Annemasse, where the Priory was started by Plantard and four of 60 his friends At first, their group fought for housing rights for local people, and their offices were at Plantard's apartment The organization promised to benefit the weak and the oppressed, and to good in general However, there was a darker side to the Plantard's Priory
Plantard actually hoped to use the Priory of Sion to claim to be a descendant of French kings Between the years 1961 and 1984, Plantard created the enigma of a much more powerful Priory than his insignificant organization 65 First, in order to give the impression that the Priory began in 1099, Plantard and his friend Philippe de Cherisey created documents, called the Secret Dossiers of Henri Lobineau, and illegally put them into the National Library of France Next, Plantard got author Gerard de Sede to write a book in 1967 using the false documents; the book became very popular in France This phenomenon is similar to the popularity of The Da Vinci Code, where a book based on false information or speculation becomes popular 70
Matters were complicated when in 1969, an English actor and science-fiction writer named Henry Lincoln read Gerard de Sede's book Lincoln did not know of Plantard and his schemes, and may have been a victim of the hoax He seemed to believe what he read, and jumped to even more wild conclusions, which he published in his 1982 book, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail He and his co-authors declared as fact that the Priory started in 1099; that its leaders included Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Victor Hugo; that the Priory protects the descendants of Jesus 75 Christ and Mary Magdalene; and that these descendants ruled France from A.D 447 to 751 All this was based on reading a novel based on the false facts from documents which were a hoax Most modern historians not consider Lincoln's book to be a serious work of history
How can we be so sure that Plantard created this hoax? Well, the best witness to a crime is the criminal himself Over 100 hundred letters between Plantard, de Cherisey, and de Sede, discovered by researcher Jean-Luc 80 Chaumeil, show clearly that they were trying to pull an elaborate hoax In fact, in the 1990s, Plantard got in trouble with the law, and his house was searched Within it were found many false documents, most harmless, some of which said he was the true king of France As a final embarrassment, Plantard had to swear in a court of law that the enigma of the Priory of Sion was the work of his imagination
Câu 66: What does the author hope to show in this passage? A Dan Brown knew his book wasn't based on fact. B The Da Vinci Code is based on fact
C Sony's movie The Da Vinci Code is better than Dan Brown's book
D The Priory of Sion was a hoax.
Câu 67: What is true about the real Priory of Sion? A It was started in 1956 by Pierre Plantard
(20)C It has a secret about Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. D Its leader used to be Leonardo Da Vinci.
Câu 68: Why did Plantard put documents in the National Library of France? A He wanted Henry Lincoln to find them there.
B He believed that he knew the truth and wanted to tell everyone.
C He wanted people to believe that the Priory began in 1099.
