No educational medium better serves as a means of spatial communication than the atlas. Atlases deal with such

<b>invaluable</b>


information as population distribution and density. One of the best, Pennycooke's World Atlas, has been widely accepted as a standard


owing to the quality of its maps and photographs, which not only show various settlements but also portray them in a variety of scales.

size were proportional to population. Following the proportion

density, each country's birth and death rates, population increase or decrease, industrialization, urbanization, gross national product

<b>term of</b>

per capital income, the quality of medical care, literacy, and language. To give readers a perspective on how their own country


fits in with the global view, additional projections depict the world's patterns in nutrition, calorie and protein consumption, health care,

doesn't pretend to be an expert by any means. It is, therefore, all the more surprising that he should so insistent about the ghost. It


happened, so he says, like this:




He was travelling2 from London to the North of England by train. It was a misty November evening and the train was half empty.


In fact for the first part of the journey Mr Turner had the carriage to himself and sat dozing over a newspaper. However at the first stop


a passenger jumped in, slamming the door behind him. He seemed out of breath as if he had been running. He was a striking looking


young man with dark, bushy hair and bright intelligent eyes. He was dressed rather oddly in a long waisted coat with silver buttons,


tight trousers and an embroidered waistcoat. Mr Turner did not pay much attention to this because people wear all sorts of extravagant


clothes these days and he had long grown accustomed to them.



Presently, the two men got into conversation, as people do on long journeys. Mr Turner was interested to cover that the young man


was very knowledgeable about Art - in particular portraits. His name, he said, was Joseph Hart, and he was on his way to visit an


exhibition. It seemed that he worked in a famous London Art Gallery - a picture restorer, perhaps, thought Mr Turner, for he seemed to


know a great deal about varnishes and paints, and even more about the subjects of certain portraits. When Mr Turner asked his opinion


of the portrait of a famous judge by an artist he admired, his companion laughed and said, “He’s only a reproduction - a good one I


agree but you can't talk to a reproduction.” He spoke as though the person in the portrait were still living.



After a while the carriage got hot and steamy and Mr. Turner dropped off. He woke up just as the train was drawing up at a


junction with a grinding of brakes. His companion had disappeared.



A few days later, having returned to London, Mr. Turner found himself near the Art Gallery. Moved by some impulse, he went in


and enquired for Joseph Hart. The attendant directed him to a room devoted to early nineteenth century portraits of well-known men.


There was no-one in the room and Mr. Turner looked about him. Without knowing quite how he had got there, he found himself


standing in front of a full-length portrait of a dark young man in tight trousers and an embroidered waistcoat. The eyes smiled at him


with a hint of amusement. The name-plate at the foot of the picture read: Joseph Hart, Gentleman, 1800-1835.

<b>THE FAMILY</b>



Statesmen define a family as "a group of individuals having a common dwelling and related by blood, adoption or


marriage, (36)______includes common-law relationships." Most people are born into one of these groups and

<i><b>Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the </b></i>


<i><b>questions from 46 to 55.</b></i>



Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial problem of desert


animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare. And since man's inexorable necessity is to absorb


large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire


lives without a single drop.



Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only

<b>those forms </b>

unable to withstand its desiccating


effects. No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found. The giants of the North


American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running


and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by


stealth. Yet they are not

<b>emaciated.</b>



Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the world. The secret of


their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen,


they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes. So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in


cool, humid

<b>burrows </b>

underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert averages


around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees.

C. "very small living things that cause infectious disease in people, animals and plants"


D. "the simplest forms of life that exist in air, water, living and dead creatures and plants"

<i><b>questions from</b></i>



Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child's upbringing can give it the ability to do outstandingly well. Some


think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the


potential for great achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.



It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child's ability to do well. However,


this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities. As one psychologist says, "To have a fast car, you


need both a good engine and fuel."



Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly after


birth and brought up by different parents. They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child's


environment.




One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and performed well. The


other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That


twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better.



This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the environment, the more a child's



intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child's family. In


other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence.



Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One professor of music said that


outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized


their ability. These musicians then needed at least ten years' hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of


attaining.



People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:


• Marry an intelligent person.



• Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.


• Start a child's education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.



• Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a child who wants to become an


outstanding musician.
