Exercise 17
IELTS Reading: yes, no, not given Read the following passage about 'habits'. “All our life, so far as it has definite form, is but a mass of habits,” William James wrote in 1892.

One paper published by a Duke University researcher in 2006 found that 40 percent or more of the actions people performed each day weren’t actual decisions, but habits. Do the statements below agree with the ideas expressed by the author? Write YES, NO or NOT GIVEN. 1. The majority of choices we make on a daily basis are conscious decisions. 2.

Exercise 18 IELTS Reading: choose the headings Read the passage below and match each paragraph with one of the following headings: 1. Lobster habitats 2. Why lobsters must be measured when caught 3. Adult male lobsters are a prime catch 4. Lobster fishing methods 5. The world’s heaviest lobster 6. Different types of American lobster A) The American lobster is a species of lobster found on the Atlantic coast of North America, chiefly from Labrador to New Jersey. It is also known as Atlantic lobster, Canadian lobster, true lobster, northern lobster, Canadian Reds, or Maine lobster. It can reach a body length of 64cm, and a mass of over 20 kilograms, making it not only the heaviest crustacean in the world, but also the heaviest of all living arthropod species. B) Most American lobsters come from the northeastern coast of North America, with the Atlantic Provinces of Canada and the U.S. state of Maine being the largest producers. They are caught primarily using lobster traps, although lobsters are also harvested as bycatch by bottom trawlers, fishermen using gillnets, and by scuba divers in some areas. Maine completely prohibits scuba divers from catching lobsters (violations could result in up to a $1000 fine). C) In the United States, the lobster industry is regulated. Every lobster fisher is required to use a lobster gauge to measure the distance from the lobster's eye socket to the end of its carapace: if the lobster is less than 83mm long, it is too young to be sold and must be released back to the sea. There is also a legal maximum size of 130mm in Maine, meant to ensure the survival of a healthy breeding stock of adult males. Download 0.7 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
