There is a common expression in English language referring to a blue moon. When
people say that something happens "only once in blue moon,” they mean that it happens
only very rarely, once in a great while. This expression has been around for at least a
century and a half; there are references to this expression that date from the second half of
the nineteenth century.
The expression " a blue moon" has come to refer to the second full moon occurring in
any given calendar month. A second full moon is not called a blue moon because it is
particularly blue or is any different in hue from the first full moon of the month. Instead, it
is called a blue moon because it is so rare- The moon needs a little more than 29 days to
complete the cycle from full moon to full moon. Because every month except Febmary has
more than 29 days, every month will have at least one full moon (except February, which
will have a full moon unless there is a full moon at the very end of January and another
full moon at the very beginning of March). It is or the occasion when a given calendar
month has a second full moon that a blue moon occurs. This does not happen very often,
only three or four times in a decade.
The blue moons of today are called blue moons because of their rarity and not because
of their colon however, the expression “blue moon” may have come into existence in
reference to unusual circumstances in which the moon actually appeared blue. Certain
natural phenomena of gigantic proportions can actually change the appearance of the moon
from Earth. The eruption of the Krakatao volcano in 1883 left dust particles in the
atmosphere, which clouded the sun and gave the moon a bluish tint. This particular
occurrence of the blue moon may have given rise to the expression that we use today.
Another example occurred more than a century later. When Mount Pinatubo erupted in the
Philippines in 1991, the moon again took on a blue tint.
How long has the expression “once in a blue moon" been around?

Niagara Falls, one of the most famous North American natural wonders, has long been
a popular tourist destination. Tourists today flock to see the two falls that actually constitute
Niagara Falls: the 173-foot-high Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the Niagara River
in the Canadian province of Ontario and the 182-foot-high American Falls on the U.S. side
of the river in the state of New York. Approximately 85 percent of the water that goes over
the falls actually goes over Horseshoe Falls, with the rest going over American Falls.
Most visitors come between April and October, and it is quite a popular activity to take
a steamer out onto the river and right up to the base of the falls for a close-up view. It is
also possible to get a spectacular view of the falls from the strategic locations along the
Niagara River, such as Prospect Point or Table Rock, or from one of the four observation
towers which have heights up to 500 feet.
Tourists have been visiting Niagara Falls in large numbers since the 1800s; annual
visitation now averages above 10 million visitors per year. Because of concern that all
these tourists would inadvertently destroy the natural beauty of this scenic wonder, the
state of New York in 1885 created Niagara Falls Park in order to protect the land
surrounding American Falls. A year later Canada created Queen Victoria Park on the
Canadian side of the Niagara, around Horseshoe Falls. With the area surrounding the falls
under the jurisdiction of government agencies, appropriate steps could be taken to preserve
the pristine beauty of the area.

COURSE GUIDELINES
Assignments
Coursework assignments will involve the production of an artefact (something shaped
by human beings rather than by nature) OR an investigation of some kind followed by a
report. This is to demonstrate the relevance of your study to society today. If you opt to
produce an artefact, (e.g. a working model or piece of machinery) you will also be expected
to provide some written explanation of how and why you produced it.
You need to follow these steps:
•Find out precisely what is expected of you. Talk to your tutor and refer to the syllabus
document.
•Be aware of what skills and abilities you must demonstrate.
2


•Always plan a project thoroughly before you begin it but be realistic about how much
time you can seriously devote to it.
Choosing a topic
Remember that this course is essentially concerned with the achievement of desired
ends. So first identify a real-life problem, then consider it in detail, specify a precise need
and then define your design task. As you plan, wherever possible, consider using new
materials, techniques and technology such as computer-aided design (CAD).
There is nothing wrong with talking to knowledgeable people about your project; in fact,
this shows initiative. However, the project is yours so you must do the work yourself.
You will need a fairly flexible plan because sometimes resources, apparatus and
consumables may not be available when you need them. It is a good idea to work
backwards when planning so you know you will meet your final deadline. Finally, when

you plan the various stages of your project give due regard to safety and costs.
As well as being cost effective, the method chosen must also be…………………

The hunter-gatherer lifestyle indicates that women should exercise only a little less
intensely than men, says De Vany. 'Women are opportunistic hunters who go after small
game when they come across it. They also climb trees to capture honey and snare birds.
And have you ever seen how much work it is to dig out a deep tuber?' Women benefit
enormously from strength work, he says. It increases their bone density and they get and
stay leaner by building muscle mass. 'Today's women are so weak [compared with their
female ancestors].'
Of course, people vary. De Vany acknowledges that our ancestors were adapted to a
variety of terrains and climates. Cordain points out that genetic differences between
populations lead to different physical strengths. East Africans, for example, seem to be
better endurance runners, West Africans better sprinters. But human genetic similarity
greatly outweighs the variations. And because our genes have changed so very little since
Palaeolithic times, if you want to be a lean, mean, survival machine why not try exercising
like a caveman?

De Vany views the body as non-linear and dynamic and says exercise should mix order
and chaos. 'Chronic aerobic exercise overstrains the heart, reducing the chaotic variation
in the heart rate which is essential to health,' he says. Likewise, most weight training is
governed too much by routine and is too timeconsuming. He gives his own workout a
chaotic character with ascending weights and descending repetitions. To these brief but
intense gym workouts he adds a wide variety of other activities that vary randomly in
intensity and duration. These include roller blading, bicycling, walking, sprinting, tennis,
basketball, power walking, hitting softballs and trekking with a grandson on his shoulders.

Across the Palaeolithic age - which covers the period between 2.6 million and
10,000years ago - prey animals were large, fast on their feet, or both. For men, this would
have meant lots of walking or jogging to find herds, dramatic sprints, jumps and turns,
perhaps violent struggles, and long walks home carrying the kill. Women may not have
had such intense exercise, but they would have spent many hours walking to sources of
water or food, digging up tubers, and carrying children. If modern hunter-gatherers are
anything to go by, men may have hunted for up to four days a week and travelled 15
kilometres or more on each trip. Women may have gathered food every two or three days.
There would also have been plenty of other regular physical activities for both sexes such
as skinning animals and tool making, and probably dancing.
Our ancestors must have evolved cardiovascular, metabolic and thermoregulatory
systems capable of sustaining high-level aerobic exertion under the hot African sun,
according to Loren Cordain of the Human Performance Laboratory at Colorado State
University. And given that the Palaeolithic era ended only an evolutionary blink of an eye
ago, we ignore its legacy at our peril. Cordain and his colleagues point out that in today's
developed societies, inactivity is associated with disease. Contemporary hunter- gatherer
societies rarely experience these modern killers, they say.
This is where De Vany's exercise ideas come in. 'The primary objectives for any exercise
and diet programme must be to counter hyper-insulinaemia (chronically elevated insulin)
and hypoexertion (wasting of the body's lean mass through inactivity),' he writes in his
forthcoming book about evolutionary exercise. Exercise and diet are linked. For example,
says De Vany, our appetite control mechanisms work best when our activity mimics that
of our ancestors. But he feels that most modern exercise regimes are not hitting the mark.

He also argues that most people do not train the right muscles for that ultimately
attractive - and adaptive - quality of symmetry. 'Symmetry is a reliable evolutionary clue
to health,' he says. 'Tumours and pathologies produce gross asymmetries, and our love of
symmetry reflects the reproductive success of our ancestors, who were sensitive to these
clues.' He strives for the X-look - a symmetrical balance of mass in the shoulder girdle,
upper chest and back, the calves and lower quads, two of the four large muscles at the front
of the thighs. This also makes men look taller, he adds, 'another reliable evolutionary clue
that women use to find good genes'.

CLASSIC TOURS - coach break information
Luggage
We ask you to keep luggage down to one medium-sized suitcase per person, but a small
holdall can also be taken on board the coach.
Seat Allocation
Requests for particular seats can be made on most coach breaks when booking, but since
allocations are made on a first come first served basis, early booking is advisable. When
bookings are made with us you will be offered the best seats that are available on the coach
at that time.
Travel Documents
When you have paid your deposit we will send to you all the necessary documents and
labels, so that you receive them in good time before the coach break departure date. Certain
documents, for example air or boat tickets, may have to be retained and your driver or
courier will then issue them to you at the relevant point.
Special Diets
If you require a special diet you must inform us at the time of booking with a copy of
the diet. This will be notified to the hotel or hotels on your coach break, but on certain
coach breaks the hotels used are tourist class and whilst offering value for money within
the price range, they may not have the full facilities to cope with special diets. Any extra
costs incurred must be paid to the hotel by yourself before departure from the hotel.
Accommodation
Many of our coach breaks now include, within the price, accommodation with private
facilities, and this will be indicated on the coach break page. Other coach breaks have a
limited number of rooms with private facilities which, subject to availability, can be
reserved and guaranteed at the time of booking the supplementary charge shown in the
price panel will be added to your account.
On any coach break there are only a limited number of single rooms. When a single

room is available it may be subject to a supplementary charge and this will be shown on
the brochure page.
Entertainment
Some of our hotels arrange additional entertainment which could include music,
dancing, film shows, etc. The nature and frequency of the entertainment presented is at the
13


discretion of the hotel and therefore not guaranteed and could be withdrawn if there is a
lack of demand or insufficient numbers in the hotel.

a popular tourist destination. Tourists today flock to see the two falls that actually constitute
Niagara Falls: the 173-foot-high Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the Niagara River
in the Canadian province of Ontario and the 182-foot-high American Falls on the U.S. side
14


of the river in the state of New York. Approximately 85 percent of the water that goes over
the falls actually goes over Horseshoe Falls, with the rest going over American Falls.
Most visitors come between April and October, and it is quite a popular activity to take
a steamer out onto the river and right up to the base of the falls for a close-up view. It is
also possible to get a spectacular view of the falls from the strategic locations along the
Niagara River, such as Prospect Point or Table Rock, or from one of the four observation
towers which have heights up to 500 feet.
Tourists have been visiting Niagara Falls in large numbers since the 1800s; annual
visitation now averages above 10 million visitors per year. Because of concern that all
these tourists would inadvertently destroy the natural beauty of this scenic wonder, the
state of New York in 1885 created Niagara Falls Park in order to protect the land
surrounding American Falls. A year later Canada created Queen Victoria Park on the
Canadian side of the Niagara, around Horseshoe Falls. With the area surrounding the falls
under the jurisdiction of government agencies, appropriate steps could be taken to preserve
the pristine beauty of the area.
The expression “right up” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by

COURSE GUIDELINES
Assignments
Coursework assignments will involve the production of an artefact (something shaped
by human beings rather than by nature) OR an investigation of some kind followed by a
report. This is to demonstrate the relevance of your study to society today. If you opt to
produce an artefact, (e.g. a working model or piece of machinery) you will also be expected
to provide some written explanation of how and why you produced it.
You need to follow these steps:
•Find out precisely what is expected of you. Talk to your tutor and refer to the syllabus
document.
•Be aware of what skills and abilities you must demonstrate.
•Always plan a project thoroughly before you begin it but be realistic about how much
time you can seriously devote to it.
Choosing a topic
Remember that this course is essentially concerned with the achievement of desired
ends. So first identify a real-life problem, then consider it in detail, specify a precise need
and then define your design task. As you plan, wherever possible, consider using new
materials, techniques and technology such as computer-aided design (CAD).
There is nothing wrong with talking to knowledgeable people about your project; in fact,
this shows initiative. However, the project is yours so you must do the work yourself.
You will need a fairly flexible plan because sometimes resources, apparatus and
consumables may not be available when you need them. It is a good idea to work
backwards when planning so you know you will meet your final deadline. Finally, when
you plan the various stages of your project give due regard to safety and costs.

This new science, which De Vany calls evolutionary fitness, is part of growing efforts
to understand how the human body has been shaped by evolution, and to use this
knowledge to improve our health and fitness. Proponents believe the key lies in the lifestyle
of our hunter-gatherer ancestors because, they say, the vast majority of the human genome
is still adapted to an ancient rhythm of life which swung between intense periods of activity
and long stretches of inertia.
Across the Palaeolithic age - which covers the period between 2.6 million and
10,000years ago - prey animals were large, fast on their feet, or both. For men, this would
have meant lots of walking or jogging to find herds, dramatic sprints, jumps and turns,
perhaps violent struggles, and long walks home carrying the kill. Women may not have
had such intense exercise, but they would have spent many hours walking to sources of
water or food, digging up tubers, and carrying children. If modern hunter-gatherers are
anything to go by, men may have hunted for up to four days a week and travelled 15
kilometres or more on each trip. Women may have gathered food every two or three days.
There would also have been plenty of other regular physical activities for both sexes such
as skinning animals and tool making, and probably dancing.
Which one of the following does the writer highlight when discussing the lifestyle
of our Palaeolithic ancestors
Chọn một câu trả lời:
a. the predictable frequency of physical activity (Đúng)

b. the fact that life was equally energetic for both sexes

There is a common expression in English language referring to a blue moon. When
people say that something happens "only once in blue moon,” they mean that it happens
only very rarely, once in a great while. This expression has been around for at least a
century and a half; there are references to this expression that date from the second half of
the nineteenth century.
17


The expression " a blue moon" has come to refer to the second full moon occurring in
any given calendar month. A second full moon is not called a blue moon because it is
particularly blue or is any different in hue from the first full moon of the month. Instead, it
is called a blue moon because it is so rare- The moon needs a little more than 29 days to
complete the cycle from full moon to full moon. Because every month except Febmary has
more than 29 days, every month will have at least one full moon (except February, which
will have a full moon unless there is a full moon at the very end of January and another
full moon at the very beginning of March). It is or the occasion when a given calendar
month has a second full moon that a blue moon occurs. This does not happen very often,
only three or four times in a decade.
The blue moons of today are called blue moons because of their rarity and not because
of their color however, the expression “blue moon” may have come into existence in
reference to unusual circumstances in which the moon actually appeared blue. Certain
natural phenomena of gigantic proportions can actually change the appearance of the moon
from Earth. The eruption of the Krakatao volcano in 1883 left dust particles in the
atmosphere, which clouded the sun and gave the moon a bluish tint. This particular
occurrence of the blue moon may have given rise to the expression that we use today.
Another example occurred more than a century later. When Mount Pinatubo erupted in the

Philippines in 1991, the moon again took on a blue tint.
How many blue moons would there most likely be in a century?

De Vany's advice to the modern exercise freak is to cut duration and frequency, and
increase intensity. 'Our muscle fibre composition reveals that we are adapted to extreme
intensity of effort,' says De Vany, a professor of economics at the Institute of Mathematical
Behavioral Sciences at the University of California, Irvine. His approach to fitness
combines Darwinian thinking with his interest in chaos theory and complex systems.

This new science, which De Vany calls evolutionary fitness, is part of growing efforts
to understand how the human body has been shaped by evolution, and to use this
knowledge to improve our health and fitness. Proponents believe the key lies in the lifestyle
of our hunter-gatherer ancestors because, they say, the vast majority of the human genome
is still adapted to an ancient rhythm of life which swung between intense periods of activity

De Vany views the body as non-linear and dynamic and says exercise should mix order
and chaos. 'Chronic aerobic exercise overstrains the heart, reducing the chaotic variation
in the heart rate which is essential to health,' he says. Likewise, most weight training is
governed too much by routine and is too timeconsuming. He gives his own workout a
chaotic character with ascending weights and descending repetitions. To these brief but
intense gym workouts he adds a wide variety of other activities that vary randomly in
intensity and duration. These include roller blading, bicycling, walking, sprinting, tennis,
basketball, power walking, hitting softballs and trekking with a grandson on his shoulders.

It took only one night, spent in a sealed room at the Dunn Unit to disabuse one of their

To appreciate this unusual outback I monument and to meet the people whose
livelihoods depend on it, I spent part of an Australian autumn travelling the wire. It’s
known by different names in different states: the Dog Fence in South Australia, the Border
Fence in New South Wales and the Barrier Fence in Queensland. I would call it simply the
Fence.

For most of its prodigious length, this epic fence winds like a river across a landscape
that, unless a big rain has fallen, scarcely has rivers. The eccentric route, prescribed mostly
by property lines, provides a sampler of outback topography: the Fence goes over; sand
dunes, past salt lakes, up and down rock-strewn hills, through dense scrub and across
barren plains.
