“The people’s Almanac” When we speculate about whether other worlds will have “life-as-we-know-it”, our natural tendency is to think only of life form that supiciously resemble man, dogs, cats and, at very most, perhaps, something as fantastic as a giraffe. The fact is, however, that little is know about “life-as-we-know-it”, between 50 million and 4 billion different species of living things have lived on this planet and only a minimum plants and animal have been subjected to scientific classifications an chemical analysis. We are shamefully ignorant, and therefore have a biological myopia that drastically shortens our view of the dimensions of life. In order to theorize rationally about life on earth, we should take a closer look at it. Only when we begin to perceive the diversity of life on earth can we fully appreciate the possibilities of vastness of life beyond earth.

“People’s Almanac” Although they have been photographed from the air, there are some regions of our planet that have never been penetrated by man so far. These include for example regions of the central mountains of new Guinea, parts of the Amazon and African Jungles, the Greenland ice cap. Antarctic and north west Siberia. They are quite remote, virtually inaccessible for close examination by man. Although aircraft (particularly helicopters), snowmobiles, jeeps and other off road vehicles have made many areas more accessible, methods of explorations still require the use of dog teams in Arctic regions and camels in the desert. Map makers continue to be key figures in exploration today, and the moderns surveyor has sophisticated equipment to enable him to measure longitude more easily than the early explorers.

the sales picture is that appeals to the emotions, not to reason. And that appeal is largely subconscious. A baby responds to color long before it recognizes shape or form and this perceptions remains throughout life. Almost everyone is attracted by color, color may be symbolic of personal features.

On the day that I left Saturn, one of my fellow prisoners told me that since she hadknown me; her opinion of “Greens” had fallen even lower than it had been before.This hit me especially hard because she was a woman whom I deeply respected andalso because I had secretly imagined myself to be living life as a “Green” witnessamong the rebels. She said that when I decided not to speak about my prison experiences because of the risks involved, she was hardly able to speak to me. She condemned me for professing to be a “Green” without having the courage to act like one.

It was then that I conceived that I owed it to the members of the camp to speak forthem and against Saturnian’s dictatorship. It became clear to me that, whatever thediplomatic or personal repercussions, I had to speak the truth quite openly to thosewho were prepared to listen. These words, then are written as the final stage of thefulfillment of a pledge* made to the women of Alamet prison on Saturn. Thesewomen are now free or living in exile, but other Saturnians have taken their place. Iwill write a story of what happened to me in a spirit of love and hope, for my

experience has convinced me of the incredible and unconquerable goodness inpeople.

When the world was still young, according to the Bible, the Tower of Babel roseabove the Plain of Shinar, and in it lived the descendents of Noah, all that were leftof the world’s people after the Flood. The Lord came to them, caused a confusion oftongues, and spread them over the earth. They could then no longer understand each other.

The world is no longer young, but its people, still plagued by a confusion of tongues,seem to have just as much difficulty understanding each other. Besides that, theworld has grown smaller. A person can now circle the planet earth in 36 hours.Telstar and other communication satellites beam television programs simultaneouslyto earth’s not-so-far corners. But, how universal is reception of those programs whenthe people of the earth speak some 3,000 different languages?

Many linguists, anthropologists, and other experts feel that the answer to such lackof communication is some kind of international language. It might be an artificial

language a natural language, or a simplified version of a natural language. But thetime is now.

I want to say a few things about the development of the contemporary theatre: thetype of drama associated with the names writers in France, Britain, Italy and elsewhere. Studies on theatre subjects tend to the ephemeral; in most book shops the autobiographies of star actors and collections of last year’s hits on the shelves have a tired look. I should not have written this if I had not been convinced that the subject has an importance transcending the somewhat confined world of theatrical literature. The theatre, in spite of its operant eclipse through the rise of the mass media, remains of immense and grousing significance precisely because of the spread of cinema and television. These mass media are too ponderous and costly to allow much experiment and innovation. No métier how restricted the theatre and its audience may be, it is on the living stage that the actors and playwrights* of the mass media the trained and gain their experience, and that the material of the mass media is tested. The theatre of today is perhaps the main influence on the mass media of tomorrow. And the mass media, in turn, shape a great deal of the thought and feeling of people…

I have the audacity to believe that people everywhere can have three meals a day tosatisfy their bodies, education and culture to satisfy their minds; and dignity, justiceand freedom to satisfy their spirits… I still believe that some day mankind will bowbefore the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, andthat non-violent goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land. The lion and the lambshall then lie down together and every man shall sit under his own vine and fig tree,and done shall be afraid. I still believe that we shall overcome.

VLADIMIR MAYAKOVSKY. Russian poet and playwright, later canonized poetlaureate of the Revolution by Stalin, he was literary star of the post-Revolutionperiod of the 1920s. (He and rival Sergei Esenin contended for the role ofspokesman* for the proletariat and the new order). Although never a member of theCommunist Party, Mayakovsky became the troubadour of the Revolution andBolshevism, and he was a superb propagandist, creating thousands of poems,advertisements, posters, and slogans to sell Lenin and the Soviets to the masses.

Matching the age in which he lived, Mayakovsky was dramatic and demanding. Hisemotions-his love of women, his need for love, his need to belong, and his lonelinesswere, like his physical presence, larger that life.

The majority of people, about nine out of ten, are right – handed. Up until recently,people who were left – handed were considered abnormal, and once children showedthis tendency they were forced to use their right hands. Today, left – handedness is

generally accepted but it is still a disadvantage in a world where most people areright – handed. For example, most tools and implements (scissors, tin openers, etc)are still designed for right – handed people.

In sports, by contrast, doing things with the left hand (or foot) is often an advantage.Throwing, kicking, punching or batting from the “wrong” side may disconcertopponents, who are more accustomed to dealing with the majority of players who areright – handed. This is why, in most ball games at a professional level, a higherproportion of players are left – handed than in the population as a whole.

“Everything enjoyable in life is illegal, immoral, or fattening.” Moan those who areoverweight. To help take the derivation out of dieting, the American food industryhas produced several kinds of dietetic foods for people who want to take off excessweight. Why all this emphasis upon staying thin? It is partly because doctors say thatextra weight decreases life expectancy.

A major reason for conflict in the animal world is territory. The male animalestablishes an area; the size of the area is sufficient to provide food for him, his mate(or mates) and their offspring. Migrating birds, for example, divide up the best,territory in the order of “first come, first served.” The late arrivals may obtain larger

territories, but less food is available, or they are too close to the habitats of theenemies of the species. If there in really insufficient food or the danger is very greatthe animal will not mate. In this way, the members of the species which are less fitwill not have offspring.When there is conflict over territory, animals will commonly use force, or a show offorce, to decide which will stay and which will go.

Many devout Christians believed that the world would come to a sudden and just1,000 years after Christ. This prospect of the “millennium” brought relief to many aweary person. Many journeyed to Palestine to be present in their Holy Land whenthe end of the world came.But the end of the world did not come, and the thousands of pilgrims who hadjourneyed to Jerusalem were ill-treated by the Turks. They returned to Europe full ofanger and humiliation, and spread the story of their offerings in the Holy Land. Onefamous pilgrim especially, Peter the Hermit, went about, staff in hand, preaching tothe people to rescue their Holy City Jerusalem from the Muslims. Indignation andenthusiasm grew in Christendom, and seeing this the Pope decided to lead themovement.

In 1095, a great Church council decided to proclaim a Holy way against the Muslinsfor the recovery of the Holy City of Jerusalem. Thus began the Crusades – the fightof Christendown against lalam, of the Cross against the Crestar.

Questions 21-26

Read the following paragraph.

The returning boomerang is constructed in such a way that it sails on a circular trajectory and returns to the thrower. A trained hunter can throw a boomerang so that it will sweep up to a height of 50 feet in diameter, and then spin along several smaller iterative circles before it lands near the thrower. Experts can make boomerangs ricochet off the ground, circle, and come back. Hunters use them to drive birds into nets by making the boomerang spin above the flock sufficiently high to fool the birds into reacting to it as if it were a predator. Ordinarily, a returning boomerang is 12 to 30 inches long, 1 to 3 inches wide, and less than half an inch thick. Its notorious pointed ends are not honed enough to allow the boomerang to serve as a weapon or to be even remotely threatening. By contrast, the nonreturning boomerang is substantially heavier and can be used as a weapon. This type of boomerang is made to be 3 to 5 inches indiameter and 2 to 3 feet long, and may weigh up to 2 pounds. The power with which the boomerang hits its target is sufficient to kill or maim either an animal or a foe. All boomerangs are hurled in the same manner. The thrower grasps one end, pointing both ends outward. Having positioned the boomerang above and behind the shoulder, the thrower propels it forward with a snapping wrist motion to give it a twirl. The quality of the initial twirl conveys the propulsion to the weapon and provides its distinctive momentum.

21. In line 1, the word "sails" is closest in meaning to: flies falls surges shriks

22. According to the passage, the boomerang can be used to:

train birds position a flock flank birds stupefy a flock

23. The author of the passage implies that boomerangs: can disarm an enemy can locate a target are alike in shape are monumental in flight

24. The fact that a boomerang can serve as a weapon depends primarily on: its perimeter its weight the propulsion of its ends the power of the thrower

25. The word "ordinarily" means: orderly usually

awkwardly obviously

desagree disagree missagree
