Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

DANGEROUS JOURNEY
It's an astounding feat: Every summer, three billion birds of some 300 species-songbirds,
waterbirds, and many others- migrate from northern Africa to Europe and Asia. In the winter,
they return to Africa’s warmer shores. As they travel from one place to another, they navigate
using the sun, the stars, smells, and land forms to help them find their way.
Both large and small birds travel thousands of kilometers, often stopping at locations along the
way to rest. In late fall in the northern hemisphere, for example, golden orioles fly from
northern to southern Europe, and then cross the Mediterranean Sea into Africa. The birds often
stop at different oases in northern Africa before flying almost 1,600 kilometers (over 1,000
miles) across the Sahara Desert and then on to central and southern Africa.
The birds migration is long and difficult, and some of the animals inevitably die during each
trip. However, it is not this twice-a-year journey that poses the greatest risk to these animals.
The main threat to the birds' survival comes from human hunters. All over the Mediterranean,
millions of migrating birds are killed for food, profit, and sport every year. As a result, bird
populations are dropping all over the region.
In nations along the Mediterranean, many migratory birds are illegally trapped or shot. In
addition to traps, hunters also use electronic calls to catch birds. This tool, which a hunter can
operate from a cell phone, mimics bird sounds and is very effective in attracting the animals-so
effective that in some countries, bird populations have plummeted. “There are no birds," says
one Albanian man. "We walk for hours without seeing any. It's really scary." Some hunters also
use nets to capture birds as they fly close to the sea. The nets are high-going from ground level
to just over 3 meters (11 feet)- and invisible to the birds, allowing hunters to trap hundreds of
birds at a time.

Working for Change
Countries all over the Mediterranean are aware that bird populations are in danger, and many
are working to address this problem. In the European Union, hunting migratory birds is illegal
in some countries, while in others, it is strictly controlled-the birds can only be hunted at a
certain time of year. This hasn’t completely stopped bird poaching in Europe, but more natureprotection groups are making sure that laws are obeyed. The organization WWW Italy, for
example, works with volunteers to stop poachers and destroy birdsong devices that attract birds.
This has been successful in many places throughout the country. Sicily, for example, was once a
hot spot for illegal bird hunting. Today, it has mostly eliminated poaching, and birdwatching is
becoming popular on the island.
Across the Mediterranean, another group-Nature Conservation Egypt-is working to increase
protection of its country’s natural scenery and wildlife, including its migratory birds. As part of
a current project, the organization is trying to promote activities such as eco-tourism along the
coasts. The hope is that, as more tourists come to visit
protected natural areas, there will be an incentive to care for the birds and their habitats. If this
happens, say conservationists, bird populations will quickly return to normal.
Wildlife organizations around the Mediterranean are helping to bring about change. Hunting
bans are working, says Martin Schneider-Jacoby, a bird specialist for the German organization
EuroNatur. But there is still more to do. Conservationists hope to stop hunting and restore bird
habitats all over the Mediterranean. If this can be done, the birds' numbers will increase.
There’s a long way to go. Schneider-Jacoby says, but like an oasis in the desert after a long
journey, there is hope.

A. how tourism is causing a drop in bird population

WHAT MAKES AN OLYMPIC CHAMPION?
How does a person become an Olympic champion-someone capable of winning the gold? In
reality, a combination of biological, environmental, and psychological factors, as well as
training and practice, all go into making a super athlete.
Perhaps the most important factor involved in becoming an elite athlete is genetics. Most
Olympic competitors are equipped with certain physical characteristics that differentiate them
from the average person. Take an elite athlete's muscles, for example. In most human skeletal
muscles (the ones that make your body move), there are fast-twitch fibers and slow-twitch
fibers. Fast-twitch fibers help us move quickly.

Olympic weightlifters. for example, have a large number of fast-twitch fibers in their musclesmany more than the average person. These allow them to lift hundreds of kilos from the ground
and over their heads in seconds.

Surprisingly, a large, muscular body is not the main requirement to do well in this sport. It is
more important to have a large number of fast-twitch fibers in the muscles.
The legs of an elite marathon runner, on the other hand, might contain up to 90 percent slowtwitch muscle fibers. These generate energy efficiently and enable an athlete to control fatigue
and keep moving for a longer period of time. When we exercise long or hard, it's common to
experience tiredness, muscle pain, and difficulty breathing. These feelings are caused when the
muscles produce high amounts of lactate and can't remove it quickly enough. Athletes with
many slow-twitch muscle fibers seem to be able to clear the lactate from their muscles faster as
they move. Thus, the average runner might start to feel discomfort halfway into a race. A
trained Olympic athlete, however, might not feel pain until much later in the competition for
some Olympic competitors, size is important. Most male champion swimmers are 180 cm (six
feet) or taller, allowing them to reach longer and swim faster. For both male and female
gymnasts, though, a smaller size and body weight mean they can move
with greater ease, and are less likely to suffer damage when landing on the floor from a height
of up to 4.5 meters (15 feet).
Some athletes' abilities are naturally enhanced by their environment. Those raised at high
altitudes in countries such as Kenya, Ethiopia, and Morocco have blood that is rich in
hemoglobin. Large amounts of hemoglobin carry oxygen around the body faster, enabling these
athletes to run better. Cultural factors also help some athletes do well at certain sports. Tegla
Loroupe, a young woman from northern Kenya, has won several marathons. She attributes
some of her success to her country's altitude (she trains at about 2,400 meters, or 8,000 feet) and
some to her cultural background. As a child, she had to run ten kilometers to school every day.
“I'd be punished if I was late," she says.
Although genetics, environment, and even culture play a part in becoming an elite athlete,

training and practice are needed to succeed. Marathon runners may be able to control fatigue
and keep moving for long periods of time, but they must train to reach and maintain their goals.

Weightlifters and gymnasts perfect their skills by repeating the same motions again and again
until they are automatic. Greg Louganis, winner of four Olympic diving gold medals, says
divers must train the same way to be successful: "You have less than three seconds from takeoff
until you hit the water, so it has to be reflex. You have to repeat the dives hundreds, maybe
thousands, of times.”
Training this way requires an athlete to be not only physically fit but psychologically healthy
as well. "They have to be," says Sean McCann, a sports psychologist at the Olympic Training
Center in the U.S. ‘‘Otherwise, they couldn’t handle the training loads we put on them.
[Athletes] have to be good at setting goals, generating energy when they need it, and managing
anxiety "
How do athletes adjust to such intense pressure? Louganis explains how he learned to control
his anxiety during a competition: "Most divers think too much…," he says. "They're too much
in their heads. What worked for me was humor. I remember thinking about what my mother
would say if she saw me do a bad dive. She'd probably just compliment me on the beautiful
splash.
