answer sheet to indicate the correct answer A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of the world's largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the surface The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this Một đặc điểm địa lý khá đáng ngạc nhiên Nam Cực là

MISSING WOMEN In China the growing difference between the genders is giving signals of alarm to Government authorities According to the latest census figures 119 boys are born for every 100 girls This sinking difference is expected to shoot up by the year 2020 with almost 40 million unsettled bachelors This distribution of the social ecology would create havoc in the future The social leaders are trying to pressurize the masses into producing more females The Government has embarked on policies extending innumerable incentives to the families bearing girls Monetary support, free education, guaranteed employment is being gifted to parents who gift the country with a girl child The Government is trying to persuade people to suppress their personal preferences and regulate their community behaviour according to the new blueprint to stimulate the girl ratio (■A) Sometimes, the Government tries to woo them and sometimes it uses stem policies to force them into it Consequent to the population explosion, the Government introduced, in the 80's, one child policy in China Any additional pregnancy had to be terminated This was aimed to put a check on the teeming millions The policy had no relation to extermination of girl child in the womb But the policymakers had no idea about its long term impact People, with a patriarchic mindset, came up with their preference for a single male child The idea of a happy family became 'parents with a single male child’ The Chinese culture has always promoted sons over daughters because the society has been dominated by males In villages, where hard work is needed to sustain the agriculture, a boy is always preferable due to his superior physical strength compared to that of a girl (■B) In such circumstances, looking forward to a male baby seems justified People have to limit their families, it is obvious they would prefer a boy over a girl child This has been accentuated by the use of ultrasound scanning which helps determine the sex of the fetus This technology has played a crucial role in creating gender imbalance Sociologists consider this imbalance as the aftermath of Government’s poorly thought and short-sighted policy The Government’s intentions notwithstanding, China came to develop a markedly lopsided sex ratio Nobel Laureate Hayek feels that when Government tries to dominate the social system by making people forcibly inculcate a certain habit, such a condition is bound to happen People try to find ways which not only fulfill their preferences but also satisfy the law makers The Government damaged the dynamics of a healthy society and was now bearing the brunt of its past deeds Hayek argues that by no means should a centralized bureaucracy be allowed to design preferences for hundreds of thousands of people, without even consulting them in such a system, with the passage of time, unforeseen consequences spring up Government can bind people to its chosen course for a time but the impositions cannot limit their options for long (■C) The quarter century that has passed since commencement of the effort to redesign the Chinese family is leaving behind its own trail The Government needs to be careful now It has to invent new remedies to address this problem It needs to redesign the social fabric so that programs like 'Care for Girls’ get support of the masses, who seem to have little faith in the system They view the new program for the girl child in the same resigned manner as the program that was forced on them in the past Some women social workers are of the view that the fall of sex ratio has been an advantage for the women of China, as their social value has increased (■D) The Government policy has in a way helped uplift the status of females The real fear now is that China will soon be faced with hordes of bachelors at war with their brethren over finding their brides The "surplus sons" of China need to stop interfering with the social system TRUNG QUỐC -

changing Thirty or forty years ago, the wife was called a "housewife" She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children The husband earned the money for the family He was usually out working all day He came home tired in the evening, so he did not much housework And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends These days, however, more and more women work outside the home They cannot stay with the children all day They, too, come home tired in the evening They not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and cleaning up They not have time to clean the house and the laundry So who is going to the housework now?
