A new British medical instrument is about to change dramatically our ability to
recognize disease hidden inside the body. It is called the magnetic scanner, and it gives
information about the body which current machines, such as the brain scanner and the more
recent body scanner, cannot provide. And unlike existing machines, the new machine does
not use X-ray radiation waves, which make it much safer for patients.

Unlike existing scanners, a magnetic scanner can show the side or the back of a
suspect part of the body. Used on, for example, a lung with suspected damage, it can turn
the image of the lung to give a series of different views. The image is not simply worked
out in the computer’s “imagination”: The magnetic scanner actually examines every side of
the lung. When examining the softer part of the body with existing scanners, doctors
frequently have to use a “contrast medium” to make a muscular organ show up to X-ray
waves, the usual “contrast- medium” given to patients before a stomach X-ray scan takes
place is harmless, but for some brain scans so that it passes into the brain, this is unpleasant
and painful and it can be dangerous. The magnetic scanner needs no “contrast medium”

The new machine can also see in greater detail than ever before. Growths of all
kinds show up clearly on the brain and so do the dead patches which are the signs of the
disease, multiple sclerosis. Until now patients complaining of double vision or an inability
to control their muscles from time to time could be suffering from some much more easily
cured disease and a brain scanner could not distinguish between these with certainty. The
doctor can now definitely say whether or not cancer of multiple sclerosis is present.

Previously, these diseases have been missed and patients have been given false information
about their health. The technique is still improving with great speed: pictures produced a
couple of years ago look very simple compared with those of today.

Câu 26: What does the new magnetic scanner machine do?.
A. it looks at a diseased part of the body from all directions
B. It can look right through a diseased part of the body
C. It sends waves round the diseased part of the body

D. It uses a computer to “imagine” different views of the body
Câu 27: What disadvantage do existing machines have?

A. Patients need an injection before they are used
B. The contrast recorded are too strong

C. It is often necessary to use a contrast medium
D. The X-ray waves are sometimes painful

Câu 28: In what way is the new machine an improvement
A. It can cure some diseases much more easily

B. It will never give a double view

C. The techniques involved can be learned quickly

show…

A. dark spots in the eyes B. dead areas in the brain

Crows are probably the most frequently met and easily identifiable members of the
native fauna of the United States. The great number of tales, legends, and myths about
these bird indicates that people have been exceptionally interested in them for a long time.
On the other hand, when it comes to substantive-particularly behavioral – information,
crows are less well known than many comparably common species and for that matter, not
a few quite uncommon ones: The endangered California condor, to cite one obvious
example. There are practical reasons for this

Crows are notoriously poor and aggravating subjects for field research. Keen
observer and quick learners, they are astute about the intention of other creatures, including
researchers, and adept at avoiding them, because they are so numerous, active and
monochromatic, it is difficult to distinguish one crow from another. Bands, radio
transmitters, or other identifying devices can be attached to them, but this of course
requires catching live crows, who are among the wariest and most untrappable of birds.

Technical difficulties aside, crow research is daunting because the ways of these
birds are so complex and various. As preeminent generalists members of this species
ingeniously exploit a great range of habitats and resources, and they can quickly adjust to
changes in their circumstances. Being so educable, individual birds have markedly
different interests and inclinations, strategies and scams. For example, one pet crow learned
how to let a dog out of its kennel by pulling the pin on the door. When the dog escaped, the

bird went into the kennel and ate its food

Câu 32According to the first paragraph, what evidence is there that crows have interested
people for a long time?

A. The large number of stories about crows
B. The frequency with which crows are sighted

C. The amount of research that has been conducted on crows
D. The ease with which crows are identified

Câu 33: In line 6, the author mentions the endangered California condor as an example of a
species that is…

A. smaller than the crow B. easily identifiable

C. featured in legends D. very rare

Câu 34: According to the second paragraph, crows are poor subject for field research for all
