Within four years after graduation, he was one of the best-known actors and singers in the United States.

They want to create space stations there between 2020 and 2030. These stations will prepare humans to visit and later live on Mars or other Earth-like planets. There are several advantages of colonizing space: for one, sending people to moon and Mars will allow us to learn a lot-for example, whether there is life on other planets. In addition, the advances we make for space travel in the fields of science, technology, medicine, and health can also benefit us here on Earth. But not everyone thinks sending humans into space is a smart idea. Many say it's too expensive to’send people, even on a short journey. And most space trips are not short . A one-way trip to Mars, for example, would take about six months. People travelling this kind of distance face a number of health problems. Also, for many early space settlers, life would be extremely difficult. On the moon's surface, for ex’mple, the air and the sun's rays are very da’gerous.

One of the largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken, the Panama Canal shortcut greatly reduced the time for ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, enabling them to avoid the lengthy, hazardous Cape Horn route around the southernmost tip of South America via the Drake Passage or Strait of Magellan. In 1920, after some thirty-nine years of problems with disease, high costs and politics, the Panama Canal was officially opened. This linked the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by allowing ships to pass through the fifty-mile Canal Zone instead of travelling some seven thousand miles around Cape Horn.

Making lists is relaxing. It makes you feel important - all those things–to do. It dictates the shape of the immediate future; it calms you down and it makes you feel good when you cross something off. It might even help you to get things done too. The world divides in two when it comes to listing. Type A makes orderly lists, priorities and calmly sets to work on them. Type В waits until panic sets in, grabs the nearest envelope and scribbles all over it, sighs with relief and promptly loses it. The more you have to do, the more you need a list and few people with high-powered jobs get by without them. James Oliver, psychologist, has created his own time managing matrix'. He writes a list’of things to do and then organizes them into categories: things that have to be done straight away, other things that it would be good to do today, things that are important but haven't got to be done ’mmediately and things that are less urgent but that he doesn't want to forget. ’sing categories to order the world is the way the human mind works,' he says. After th’t, you should put things into hierarchies of importance.' But he also warn’ against the danger of Excessive List Syndrome. If people get obsessed with making lists, it doesn't work, they have ’oo many categories and lose their capacity to prioritize. 33. Which of the following ideas about making lists is not mentioned in the text? A) If you make a list, you feel obliged to do each thing in it.

There are about 1.900 species of termites found in many areas of the world, but most commonly in tropical rain forests. Besides the termites that occur naturally in a given area, many species have been transported accidentally by man from their native habitats to new parts of the world. They are transported in wooden articles such as shipping crates, boat timbers, lumber and the furniture. Termites are actually important to the ecology because they help convert plant cellulose into substances that can be recycled into the ecosystem to support new growth. But termites are also very destructive because they feed upon and damage wooden objects and crops. Termites that are transported from other areas are even more dangerous because they are not as able to eat the trees that grow in their new environment . Therefore, they live in and eat man-made wooden structure and crops. Subterranean termites depend on contact with moisture in the soil and generally reach the wood in man-made structures through contact with the ground. The ground below the foundations of new homes is frequently pretreated with an insecticide to prevent entry by these termites. 25. According to the author, which types of termites are the most destructive to man-made structures? A) white termites B) termites that are native to an area C) termites that have been transplanted to an area D) termites that eat only man-made wood structures 26. Which of the following is true according to the text? A) Termites damage only crops. B) Termites are of no use whatsoever to mankind. C) Termites exist only in a given area. D) Termites can be beneficial to the ecological system. Download 0.99 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham:
