Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the

questions .


All mammals feed their young. Beluga whale mothers, for example, nurse their calves
for some twenty months, until they are about to give birth again and their young are
able to find their own food. The behavior of feeding of the young is built into the
reproductive system. It is a nonelective part of parental care and the defining feature
of a mammal, the most important thing that mammals-- whether marsupials,
platypuses, spiny anteaters, or placental mammals -- have in common.
But not all animal parents, even those that tend their ofspring to the point of
hatching or birth, feed their young. Most egg-guarding fish do not, for the simple
reason that their young are so much smaller than the parents and eat food that is
also much smaller than the food eaten by adults. In reptiles, the crocodile mother
protects her young after they have hatched and takes them down to the water,
where they will find food, but she does not actually feed them. Few insects feed their
young after hatching, but some make other arrangement, provisioning their cells
and nests with caterpillars and spiders that they have paralyzed with their venom
and stored in a state of suspended animation so that their larvae might have a
supply of fresh food when they hatch.

For animals other than mammals, then, feeding is not intrinsic to parental care.
Animals add it to their reproductive strategies to give them an edgein their lifelong
quest for descendants. The most vulnerable moment in any animal's life is when it
first finds itself completely on its own, when it must forage and fend for itself. Feeding
postpones that moment until a young animal has grown to such a size that it is
better able to cope. Young that are fed by their parents become nutritionally
independent at a much greater fraction of their full adult size. And in the meantime
those young areshielded against the vagaries of fluctuating of difficult-to-find
supplies. Once a species does take the step of feeding its young, the young become
totally dependent on the extra efort. If both parents are removed, the young
generally do not survive.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the
questions.
In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must
begin to put a greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources.
Fortunately, there are a number of readily available, renewable resources that are
both cost- efective and earth – friendly. Two such resources are solar power and
geothermal power.


Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could
meet the needs of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over. And solar energy
is easily harnessed through the use of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to
electricity. In theUSalone, more than 100, 000 homes are equipped with solar electric
systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles. And in other parts of the world,
including many developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily.
Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas,
is geothermal power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of
the earth. Hot water and steam that are trapped in underground pools are pumped to
the surface and used to run a generator, which is produces electricity. Geothermal
energy is 50, 000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of fossil fuel
resources. And as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal
energy is fairly simple. A prime example of efective geothermal use inIceland, a
region of high geothermal activity where over 80 percent of private homes are
heated
by
geothermal
power.
