Western people rely on technical and mechanical solutions in everything they do.
Refrigerators preserve their food, washing machines clean their underwear and computers are
supposed to solve all their problems. When they are ill, they rely on the surgeon’s knife. If their
hearts are running down, then they must be repaired, if they cannot be repaired, they should be
replaced, just as an old car sometimes gets a new engine. But up to now we have had a shortage of
donors to give their hearts, to keep one person alive, another donor had to die.
Nowadays there is more and more talk about using monkeys. Every monkey has a near-human
heart, and humans have always been over careful in respecting the lives and well-being of other

2


animals. This includes the life and well-being of other humans. Therefore, in the early years of the
22nd century - It was told the mass killings of monkeys may occur. We’ll need to use their hearts for
human consumption.

Monkeys, on the whole, are happier creatures than their near relatives, Homo sapiens, or man. They
know fear, of course, and they face real dangers, but they are also more intelligent than us. They
create no unnecessary dangers for themselves, they run no businesses, chase no money, are
unimpressed by gold – that utterly useless metal, and they do not care at all about hell or evil spirits.
I have a vague feeling that it is not monkeys’ hearts that we ought to implant in ourselves, but
monkeys’ brains.

Dogs are either optimists or pessimists, claim scientists
Scientists have confirmed what many pet owners have long suspected: some dogs have a more
gloomy outlook on life than others. The unusual insight into canine psychology emerged from a
study by Bristol University researchers into how dogs behave when separated from their owners.
Dogs that were generally calm when left alone were also found to have a “dog bowl half full” attitude
to life, while those that barked, relieved themselves and destroyed furniture appeared to be more
pessimistic, the study concluded.
Michael Mendl, head of animal welfare and behaviour at the university, said the more anxiously a
dog behaved on being parted from its owner, the more gloomy its outlook appeared to be. The
findings suggest that the trouble caused by some dogs when they are left alone may reflect deeper
emotional problems that could be treated with behavioural therapy.

“Owners vary in how they perceive this kind of anxious behaviour in dogs. Some are very
concerned, some relinquish the dog to a refuge, but others think the dog is happy or even being
intentionally spiteful,” said Mendl. “At least some of these dogs may have emotional issues and we
would encourage owners to talk to their vets about potential treatments,” he added. Of the ten million
pet dogs in the UK, around half may show separation anxiety at some stage, the researchers said.
Mendl’s team studied 24 animals at two dog homes in the UK. Half of the dogs were male and they
were various breeds, including Staffordshire bull terriers, golden retrievers and collies. They ranged
from nine months to nine years old. Researchers began the study by going to a room with each dog
in turn and playing for 20 minutes. They returned the next day, but this time left the dog alone for five
minutes, during which the scientists recorded the animal’s behaviour with a video camera. The
footage was used to give each dog an anxiety score.

A day or two later, the dogs were trained to walk over to a food bowl that was full when placed at
one end of a room and empty when placed at the other. When the dogs had learned the difference,
the scientists tested the animals’ underlying mood by placing bowls in ambiguous positions – in the
middle of the room, for example – and noting how quickly each dog went to the bowl.
The dogs that had been most anxious in the earlier test were slowest to approach food bowls placed
in or near the middle of the room, suggesting they expected to find the bowl empty. The less anxious
dogs ran to the food bowls, implying they were more optimistic, according to a report in Current
Biology.
“We know that people’s emotional states affect their judgements and that happy people are more
likely to judge an ambiguous situation positively,” Mendl said. “What our study has shown is that this
applies similarly to dogs – that a glass-half-full dog is less likely to be anxious when left alone than
one with a more pessimistic nature.” Samantha Gaines, deputy head of the companion animals
department at the RSPCA, said: “Some dogs may be more prone to develop these behaviours and
should be re-homed with appropriate owners.”

According to airline industry statistics, almost 90 percent of airline accidents are survivable or
partially survivable. But passengers can increase their chances of survival by learning and following
certain tips. Experts say that you should read and listen to safety instructions before takeoff and ask
questions if you have uncertainties. You should fasten your seat-belt low on your hips and as tightly
as possible. Of course, you should also know how the release mechanism of your belt operates.
During takeoffs and landings, you are advised to keep your feet flat on the floor. Before takeoff you
should locate the nearest exit and an alterative exit and count the rows of seats between you and
the exits so that you can find them in the dark if necessary.

In the event that you are forewarned of a possible accident, you should put your hands on your
ankles and keep your head down until the plane comes to a complete stop. If smoke is present in the
cabin, you should keep your head low and cover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing. If
possible, wet these for added protection against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as quickly as
possible, follow crew commands and do not take personal belongings with you. Do not jump on
escape slides before they are fully inflated, and when you jump, do so with your arms and legs
extended in front of you. When you get to the ground, you should move away from the plane as
quickly as possible, and never smoke near the wreckage.
It can be inferred from the passage that people are more likely to survive fires in aircrafts if they…

A day or two later, the dogs were trained to walk over to a food bowl that was full when placed at
one end of a room and empty when placed at the other. When the dogs had learned the difference,
the scientists tested the animals’ underlying mood by placing bowls in ambiguous positions – in the
middle of the room, for example – and noting how quickly each dog went to the bowl.
The dogs that had been most anxious in the earlier test were slowest to approach food bowls placed
in or near the middle of the room, suggesting they expected to find the bowl empty. The less anxious
dogs ran to the food bowls, implying they were more optimistic, according to a report in Current
Biology.

“We know that people’s emotional states affect their judgements and that happy people are more
likely to judge an ambiguous situation positively,” Mendl said. “What our study has shown is that this
applies similarly to dogs – that a glass-half-full dog is less likely to be anxious when left alone than
one with a more pessimistic nature.” Samantha Gaines, deputy head of the companion animals
department at the RSPCA, said: “Some dogs may be more prone to develop these behaviours and
should be re-homed with appropriate owners.”
Question: The more anxiously a dog behaved on being parted from its owner, the more ---------- its
outlook appeared to be.

Western people rely on technical and mechanical solutions in everything they do. Refrigerators
preserve their food, washing machines clean their underwear and computers are supposed to solve
all their problems. When they are ill, they rely on the surgeon’s knife. If their hearts are running
down, then they must be repaired, if they cannot be repaired, they should be replaced, just as an old
car sometimes gets a new engine. But up to now we have had a shortage of donors to give their
hearts, to keep one person alive, another donor had to die.
Nowadays there is more and more talk about using monkeys. Every monkey has a near-human
heart, and humans have always been over careful in respecting the lives and well-being of other
animals. This includes the life and well-being of other humans. Therefore, in the early years of the
22nd century - It was told the mass killings of monkeys may occur. We’ll need to use their hearts for
human consumption.
Monkeys, on the whole, are happier creatures than their near relatives, Homo sapiens, or man. They
know fear, of course, and they face real dangers, but they are also more intelligent than us. They
create no unnecessary dangers for themselves, they run no businesses, chase no money, are

unimpressed by gold – that utterly useless metal, and they do not care at all about hell or evil spirits.

According to airline industry statistics, almost 90 percent of airline accidents are survivable or
partially survivable. But passengers can increase their chances of survival by learning and following
certain tips. Experts say that you should read and listen to safety instructions before takeoff and ask
questions if you have uncertainties. You should fasten your seat-belt low on your hips and as tightly
as possible. Of course, you should also know how the release mechanism of your belt operates.
During takeoffs and landings, you are advised to keep your feet flat on the floor. Before takeoff you
should locate the nearest exit and an alterative exit and count the rows of seats between you and
the exits so that you can find them in the dark if necessary.
In the event that you are forewarned of a possible accident, you should put your hands on your
ankles and keep your head down until the plane comes to a complete stop. If smoke is present in the
cabin, you should keep your head low and cover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing. If
possible, wet these for added protection against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as quickly as
possible, follow crew commands and do not take personal belongings with you. Do not jump on
escape slides before they are fully inflated, and when you jump, do so with your arms and legs
extended in front of you. When you get to the ground, you should move away from the plane as
quickly as possible, and never smoke near the wreckage.

These gene hunters, or genetic engineers, use recombinant DNA technology to
identify and clone genes and introduce them into bacterial cells and plants to create factories for the massive
production of hormones and vaccines for medicine and for better crops for agriculture. Biotechnology has

In the mid-nineteenth century, the United States had tremendous natural resources that could be exploited in
order to develop heavy industry. Most of the raw materials that are valuable in the manufacture of machinery,
transportation facilities, and consumer goods lay ready to be worked into wealth. Iron, coal, and oil-the
basic ingredients of industrial growth - were plentiful and needed only the application of technical expertise,
organizational skill, and labor.
One crucial development in this movement toward industrialization was the growth of the railroads. The
railway network expanded rapidly until the railroad map of the United States looked like a spider's web,
with the steel filaments connecting all important sources of raw materials, their places of manufacture, and

their centers of distribution. The railroads contributed to the industrial growth not only by connecting these
major centers, but also by themselves consuming enormous amounts of fuel, iron, and coal.
Many factors influenced emerging modes of production. For example, machine tools, the tools used to make
goods, were steadily improved in the latter part of the nineteenth century-always with an eye to speedier
production and lower unit costs. The products of the factories were rapidly absorbed by the growing cities that
sheltered the workers and the distributors. The increased urban population was nourished by the increased
farm production that, in turn, was made more productive by the use of the new farm machinery. American
agricultural production kept up with the urban demand and still had surpluses for sale to the industrial centers
of Europe.
The labor that ran the factories and built the railways was recruited in part from American farm areas where
people were being displaced by farm machinery, in part from Asia, and in part from Europe. Europe now
began to send tides of immigrants from eastern and southern Europe-most of whom were originally poor
farmers but who settled in American industrial cities. The money to finance this tremendous expansion of the
American economy still came from European financiers for the most part, but the Americans were approaching
the day when their expansion could be financed in their own "money market."
According to the passage, all of the following were true of railroads in the United States in
the nineteenth century EXCEPT that

The first two decades of this century were dominated by the microbe hunters. These hunters had tracked down
one after another of the microbes responsible for the most dreaded scourges of many centuries: tuberculosis,
cholera, diphtheria. But there remained some terrible diseases for which no microbe could be incriminated:

scurvy, pellagra, rickets, beriberi. Then it was discovered that these diseases were caused by the lack of
vitamins, a trace substance in the diet. The diseases could be prevented or cured by consuming foods that
contained the vitamins. And so in the decades of the 1920's and 1930's, nutrition became a science and the
vitamin hunters replaced the microbe hunters.
Which of the following can be cured by a change in diet?
