Most people think that lions only come from Africa. This is understandable becausein fact most lions do come from there but this has not always been the case. If we went backten thousand years. we would find that there were lions roaming vast sections of the globe.

</div>Trang 6<div class="page_container" data-page="6">

However no, unfortunately only a very small section of the lion’s former habitat remains.

</div>Trang 7<div class="page_container" data-page="7">

Asiatic lions are sub-species of African lions. It is almost a hundred thousand years

since the Asiatic lions split off and developed as a sub-species. At one time the Asiatic lion

was living as far west as Greece and they were found from there, but in a band that spreadseast through various countries of the Middle East, all the way to India. In museums now, youcan see Greek coins that have clear images of the Asiatic lion on them. Most of them aredated at around 500 B.C. However, Europe saw its last Asiatic lions roaming free to thousandyears ago. Over the next nineteen hundred years the numbers of Asiatic lions in the otherareas declined steadily, but it was only in the nineteenth century that they disappeared fromeverywhere but in India.

The Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in India was established especially to protect the Asiaticlion. There are now around three hundred Asiatic lions in India and almost all of them are inthis sanctuary. However, despite living in a sanctuary, which makes them safe from hunters,they still face a number of problems that threaten their survival. One of these is the ever-present danger of disease. This is what killed more than a third of Africa’s Serengeti lions in1994, and people are fearful that something similar could happen in the Gir Sanctuary andkill off many of the Asiatic lions there.

India’s lions are particular vulnerable because they have a limited gene pool. The

reason for this is interesting – it is because all of them are descended from a few dozen lionsthat were saved by a prince who took a particular interest in them. He was very healthy, andhe managed to protect them otherwise they would probably have died out completely.

When you see the Asiatic lion in India, what you sense is enormous vitality. They are veryimpressive animals and you would never guess that they this vulnerability when you look atthem.

If you enjoy water sports, Hawaii is the place for you. You can go swimming all yearround in the warm water. You can go sport fishing from the shore or from a boat. If you likeboats, you can go sailing, canoeing, or windsurfing. Or, you can also try some other watersports that are especially popular in Hawaii: surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving.

Surfing is a sport which started in Hawaii many years ago. The Hawaiians called it“he’e nalu”, which means “to slide on a wave”. If you want to try surfing, you need, first ofall, to be a good swimmer. You also have to have an excellent sense of balance. You mustswim out from the beach with your surfboard under your arm. When you get to where thewaves begin to break, you wait for a calm moment. Then you try to stand up on the board.The wave will begin to rise under you. You must try to steer the board with your feet so youstay on top of the wave. The important thing is to keep your balance and not fall down. If you

can manage this, you will have an exciting ride all the way in to the shore.

Scuba diving and snorkeling are two ways to get a close look at the beauty lying

</div>Trang 9<div class="page_container" data-page="9">

below the surface of the ocean. The waters off the Hawaiian Islands are clean, clear and

</div>Trang 10<div class="page_container" data-page="10">

warm. They contain hundreds of kinds of colorful fish. The undersea world is made evenmore colorful by the coral reefs of red, gold, white and light purple. Among these reefs theremay be larger fish or sea turtles.

Scuba diving allows you to see the most interesting undersea sights. “Scuba” means“Self- contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus”, that is, equipment for breathing andswimming around far under water. In Hawaii, you can take special courses to learn how toscuba dive. After the courses, you can get a certificate that will allow you to dive alone.

Since it can be dangerous, proper instruction and great care are always necessary when you

are scuba diving.

If you are adventurous, you might try snorkeling instead of scuba diving. Lessequipment is needed, just a face mask, a breathing tube (snorkel) and flippers for your feet. Itonly takes a few minutes to learn how to snorkel. Although you cannot dive deep into thewater, you can swim with your face below the surface. Breathing through the tube, you floaton the surface, and keep yourself moving with your flippers. Even from the surface like this,there will be plenty of color and beauty to see.

Most people go to a doctor in their own town or suburbs. But people in the Australian

outback can’t get to a doctor quickly. The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of

kilometers away so they have to call him on a two-way radio. This special doctor is calledthe “flying doctor”. He visits sick people by plane.

When someone is sick, the doctor has to fly to the person’s home. His plane lands ona flat piece of ground near the person’s house. Sometimes the doctor has to take the patientto hospital. Flying doctors take about 8,600 people to hospital each year.

However, most of the time the person isn’t very sick, and the doctor doesn’t have tovisit. He can give advice on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center. He can tell

the patient to use some medicine from a special medicine chest. There is one of these chests

in every home in the outback. Each bottle, tube and packet in the chest has a number. Thedoctor often says something like this, “Take two tablets from bottle number 5 every fourhours.”

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has

made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many

foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps 80% of all human illnesses arerelated to diet and 40% of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon.People of different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of thecharacteristic foods they consume.

That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, governmentresearchers realized that nitrates and nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meats) as

well as other food additives caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain on our

food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaginglabels of processed food are healthful or harmful.

The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle

and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.

Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but forfinancial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain ahigher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has triedrepeatedly to control these producers, the practices continue.

A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unaware of detrimentalsubstances we ingest. Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize theconsequences add these substances to food without their knowledge

Question 43: How has science done a disservice to people?

A. Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually eradicated

B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food

C. As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been addedto our food

As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers

have become increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart

attacks. High-fat diets and “life in the fast lane” have long been known to contribute to 5 the highincidence of heart failure. But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantlylonger and quite surprising.

Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal 10 patterns. Ahigher percentage of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure

on Monday than on any other day of the week. In addition, people are more susceptible to heart

attacks in the first few hours after waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenonin the mid-1980, and have since 15 discovered a number of possible causes. An early-morning risein blood pressure, heart rate, and concentration of heart stimulating hormones, plus a reduction ofblood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between thehours of 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M.

Aging is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of

course, that an illness or accident does not kill it prematurely. The most familiar outward signs of

</div>Trang 33<div class="page_container" data-page="33">

aging may be seen in old people, such as the graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin. Signsof aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in hearing andeyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat. Plants age too, but the signs are much harder to detect.Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood. Theyreach their peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood. After that, they begin to decline. Bones,

for example, gradually become lighter and more brittle. In the aged, the joints between the bones

also become rigid and more inflexible. This can make moving very painful.

All the major organs of the body show signs of aging. The brain, for example, works lessefficiently, and even gets smaller in size. Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down. Oldpeople often have trouble in remembering recent events.

One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead fromthe heart. They become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest of body.This condition accounts, directly or indirectly, for many of the diseases of the aged. It may,forexample, result in heart attack.

Aging is not a uniform process. Different parts of the body wear out at different rates. Thereare great differences among people in their rate of aging. Even the cells of the body differ in theway they age. The majority of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during thecourse of a lifetime. Nerve cells and muscle fibers can never be replaced once they wear out.

Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging-believe this wearing out of thebody is controlled by a built-in biological time-clock. They are trying to discover how this clockworks so that they can slow down the process. This could give man a longer life and a great numberof productive years.
