smaller plot of ground. We tend to forget that all of our present-day pets, livestock, and food
plants were taken from the wild and developed into the forms we know today.

their knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history. One aspect of early natural
history concerned the use of plants for drugs and medicine. The early herbalists sometimes
overworked their imaginations in this respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or
part of a plant that resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ, Thus, an

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a
disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest
mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his
parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to
children.

However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well - especially if the parents
are very supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his
parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons
for him.

They even drive him 50 kilometres twice a week for violin lessons. Michael's mother knows very

little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never
makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Winston Smith, Michael's friend,
however, is not so lucky.

Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They
want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition
held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will

disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy. (1)_______

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become e
xtinct or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed t
he jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that
they will become extinct.

What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused
almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in mater
ial gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to
the problem of extinction. Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered specie
s, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must
be enacted to ensure their survival – and the survival of our planet.

Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countri
es, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reser
ves. They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and t
hey often must also depend on world organizations for support. This money enables them to inv
est in equipment and patrols to protect the animals. Another response to the increase in animal
extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species. This has had
some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed.

Question 36: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Endangered species

B. Problems with industrialization
C. The Bengal tiger

D. International boycotts

Question 37: The word “callousness” could be best replaced by which of the following?

B. combined
C. taken
D. set aside

Question 39: What does the term “international boycott” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. Defraying the cost of maintaining national parks.

B. A global increase in animal survival

C. A refusal to buy animal products worldwide
D. Buying and selling of animal products overseas
