Tigers are one of the most powerful and graceful animals in the world. The different species that still exist today,

namely the Bengal, Indochina, Siberian, South China and Sumatra tigers are in danger of becoming extinct. Due to
irresponsible hunting, the Bali, Caspian and Java tigers have already become extinct. This could soon happen to the other
species too.

the tigers found less areas for themselves to hunt. They thus turned to farms to get their food. Farmers' livestock were
attacked by these tigers. People were then encouraged to hunt and kill these animals with the promise of rewards. Even after
the threat of tigers on livestock was over, man continued to hunt tigers, this time for recreation. Poachers too hunt tigers for
their body parts knowing that the skin of tigers is much sought after. Bones and other organs are also used as ingredients in
traditional Chinese medicine. Although killing tigers is illegal, it is still being carried out and unless it is stopped, the
remaining species of tigers will soon become extinct too.

Francis Bacon, one of the most important philosophers of England, was born in London and educated at Cambridge
University. When he was only 15, he went to France to work for the English ambassador. Two years later he went back to
England to study law. At the age of twenty-three he was chosen to parliament. His ideas about how scientists should study
things in nature help to bring the modern way of thinking, called the scientific method.
One of the Bacon’s best knows books was his Essays. Each Essay was s short piece of writing in which he tried to
give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying, conversation, friends and healthy living. In many of his
books, Bacon explained how scientists should study things to be as it was. Later, by doing experiments, the scientist could
see that any one cause would always have the same result. This method, which is called inductive reasoning, is used by all

The Arctic and Antarctic, geographically at opposite ends of the world, are dissimilar in almost very particular. The
Antarctic ice covers a base of rock; the Arctic ice floats on salt water. United States submarines have sailed several times to
the North Pole and surfaced there for scientific observations and picture taking; the South Pole can be reached only by air or

20


Tạ Thị Hương Liên – LT- BN
over the frozen surface. Although the north polar region is almost entirely landlocked, the south polar continent is far
removed from most other land masses, a condition that allows the Antarctic current to circle with unhindered ferocity. Arctic
storms are tamed by the surrounding continents, but Antarctic ones sweep unimpeded for thousands of miles. The Antarctic
spawns the big-league icebergs; these sometimes tower 200 feet above and 1,500 feet below the water, and stretch for 30
miles.
The most significant difference between the Arctic and Antarctic is the presence and absence of life. Eskimos have
dwelt for centuries upon the north ice, catching fish and hunting walruses and polar bears. In the Antarctic there is little
animal life except for the dinner-jacketed penguin, and man can survive in that hostile environment only by importing tons
of supplies.

A FRIEND OF LIBERALITY

When I was in high school, there was a girl whom I disliked. I don’t know why I dislike her. She had always been friendly
towards me, and had never done anything to cause me to feel the same way I did about her. I was continually saying
unpleasant things to her, making fun of her, snubbing her.
One day as I was going home from school, the girl caught up with me and told me that our teacher wanted me to
come back for a while. I did not believe her and walked on down the street, leaving the girl standing alone.
The next day when I got to school, our teacher asked me: “Why didn’t you come back to the school as I asked you to?” I
said: “I didn’t know you wanted me?” The teacher sent for the girl and asked her: “Did you tell Rose to come back?” The
