following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house. There are many museums devoted to the decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in
the United States is a great collection displayed in a great country house.
Passing through successive Line generations of a single family, Winterthur
has been a private estate for more than a century. Even after the extensive
renovations made to it between 1929 and 1931, the house remained a family.
residence. I'his fact is of importance to the atmosphere and effect of the museum.
Read the

The impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitors; the rooms
look as if they were vacated only a short while ago - whether by the original
owners of the fur:niture'or the most recent residents of the house can be a matter of
personal interpretation. Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of

furniture and architectural elements has been assembled. Like an English country house, it is an organic structure; the house, as well as the collection and
manner of displaying it to the visitors, has changed over the years, The changes
have coincided with developing concepts of the American arts, increased t+nd a progression toward the achievement of a historical effect in period-room displays. The rooms at Winterthur have
followed this current, yet still retain the character of a private house.
The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually
over the years in an effort to present works of art in a context that would show
ll:, them to greater effect and'would give them more meaning for th'e viewer. Comto the

Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.

The modern comic strip started out as ammunition in a newspaper war
between giants of the American press in the late nineteenth century. The first
full-color comic strip appeared January 1894 in the New York World, owned by
Joseph Pulitzer. The frrst regular weekly full-color comic supplement, similar to
today's Sunday funnies, appeared two years later, in William Randolph Hearst's
rival New York paper, the Morning Journal.
Both were immensely popular, and publishers realized that supplementing
the news wi.th comic relief boosted the sale of papers. The Morning Journal
started another feature in 1896, the "Yellow Kid," the frrst continuous comic
character in the United States, whose creator, Richard Outcault, had been
lured away from the World by the ambitious l{earst. The "Yellow Kiil" was
in many ways a pioneer. Its comic dialogue was the strictly urban farce that
came to characterize later strips, and it introduced the speech balloon insidei

'the'strip, usually placed above the characters' heads.
The first.strip to incorporate all the elements of later comics was Rudolph
Dirks's "Katzenjammer Kids," based on Wilhelm Busch's Max and Moritz, a
European-'satire of the nineteenth century. The "Kids" strip, frrst published in
1897, served. as the prototype for future American strips. It contained not only
speech balloons, but a continuous cast of characters, and was divided into small
regular p4nels'that did away with the larger puuroramic scenes of earlier comics.

Read the following passage and chobse the best answers to the questions.

Bears spend much of their time looking for: food, and they are.not choosy,
gorging on insects, berries, nuts, small mammals, ham sandwiches, and garbage with equal relish. Despite this, the chief natural factor limiting a bear
population is the food supply. Dr. I.,ynn Rogers has found that, contrary to
popular belief, so-called garbage bears - those that visit iown dumps or ..-psites - do not lose their ability to forage successfully for wild foods but are
simply supplementing their diets with easy pickings. In fact, these enterprising bears grow faster, mature sooner, and reproduce earlier than those lfrrt
depend only on wild foraging. Rogers has also found that dump-fed bears are
the strongest and largest in the population. He and his crew once captured a
malc bear that weighed in at 611 pounds. But easy living for the bears carries
a price: those that stalk garbage dumps are easier targets for hunters and
those that visit camps - if not injure - visitors. Some state wildlife agencies
capture "nuisance" bears that have become too chummy with people and cast
them off to less populated parts of the forest. The removal programmes do not
always work; bears released 100 miles or more from their place-of capture have
reappeared
in their old haunts.

Read the foltowing passage and choose the best answers to the
Swans are among the most beautiful of North American waterfowl and have
always enjoyed the admiration 6nd even the protection of bird lovers- Of the
si, ,peciur i" ttre swan genus, only two ars native to North America. The
trumpeter swan, the largest of the group, breeds in the northern United States
arrd Alarka, and *.. ,""rly wiped out during the nineteenth century waze fot
elaborately feathered hats. The whistling swan, which winters in large flocks
on the Chesapeake Bay, has recently been renTmed the tundra swztn because it
breeds and summers on the northernmost tundra regions of the continent.
Recently, populations of mute swans- an exotic species introduced to North
America from b,rrop" in the early 1900s- have begun increasing by an alarm'
ing BO to 4O percent annually in some states. Most wildlife biologists today
believe the majestic white creatures, with their tendency to destroy a pond's
plant life and drive away native waterfowl, might create havoc on the scale of
the gypsy, moth, starling, or English sparrow.
Both native species of swans are wild and require large areas of uninhabited summer ground for nesting and feeding. Mutes, however, semi-domesticated and accustomed to people, can nest in pairs of as many as three or four on one small coastal
pond, wfricfr can burden delicate and environmentally essential brackish ponds.
