The giant panda is universally loved, and of course has a special significance for WWF (World Wildlife Fund) as it has been the organization's symbol since it was formed in 1961. Today, the giant panda's future remains uncertain. This peaceful, bamboo-eating member of the bear family faces a number of threats. Its forest habitat, in the mountainous areas of southwest China, is fragmented and giant panda populations are small and isolated from each other. Meanwhile, poaching remains an ever-present threat. By mid-2005, the Chinese government had established over 50 panda reserves, protecting more than 4,000 square miles and over 45 percent of remaining giant panda habitat. However, habitat destruction continues to pose a threat to the many pandas living outside these areas, and poaching is a further problem. Today, only around 61 percent of the population, or about 980 pandas, are under protection in reserves. As China's economy continues its rapid development, it is more important than ever to ensure the giant panda's survival. WWF has been active in giant panda conservation since 1980, when it supported U.S. scientist Dr. George Schaller and his Chinese colleagues in field studies in the Wolong Nature Reserve. More recently, WWF has been helping the government of China to undertake its National Conservation Program for the giant panda and its habitat. 37.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. Recreational diving or sport diving is a type of diving that uses scuba equipment for the purpose of leisure

and enjoyment. In some diving circles, the term "recreational diving" is used in contradistinction to "technical diving", a more demanding aspect of the sport which requires greater levels of training, experience and equipment.

Recreational scuba diving grew out of related activities such as snorkeling and underwater hunting. For a long time, recreational underwater excursions were limited by the amount of breath that could be held. However, the invention of the aqualung in 1943 by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and its development over subsequent years led to a revolution in recreational diving. However, for much of the 1950s and early1960s, recreational scuba diving was a sport limited to those who were able to afford or make their own kit, and prepared to undergo intensive training to use it. As the sport became more popular, manufacturers became aware of the potential market, and equipment began to appear that was easy to use, affordable and reliable. Continued advances in' SCUBA technology, such as buoyancy compensators, modern diving regulators, wet or dry suits, and dive computers, increased the safety, comfort and convenience of the gear encouraging more people to train and use it.

Until the early 1950s, navies and other organizations performing professional diving were the only providers of diver training, but only for their own personnel and only using their own types of equipment. There were no training courses available to civilians who bought the first scuba equipment. Professional instruction started in 1959 when the non-profit National Association of Underwater Instructors was formed.

Further developments in technology have reduced the cost of training and diving. Scuba-diving has become a popular leisure activity, and many diving locations have some form of dive shop presence that can offer air fills, equipment and training. In tropical and sub-tropical parts of the world, there is a large market in holiday divers, who train and dive while on holiday, but rarely dive close to home. Generally, recreational diving depths are limited to a maximum of between 30 and 40 meters (100 and 130 feet), beyond which a variety of safety issues make it unsafe to dive using recreation diving equipment and practices, and specialized training and equipment for technical diving are needed. 36. Recreational diving _______.

a. requires more equipment than technical diving , b. are taken up by many people for leisure and entertainment c. needs no equipment d. requires more experience than technical diving

37. Recreational underwater excursions used to be limited _______. a. as underwater hunting was banned b. because the necessary amount of breath was too expensive to afford c. because divers could not take enough amount of breath with them d. because the necessary amount of breath was too heavy to bring

38. According to the second paragraph, in the 1950s and early 1960s, recreational scuba diving was a sport limited because _______. a. divers did not like to take part in any intensive training courses b. there were not any intensive training courses for divers c. there were not enough kit for many divers d. kit and intensive training were too expensive for many people to afford

39. These following sentences are true EXCEPT _______. a. In the early 1950s anyone who wanted to dive could be professionally trained. b. In the early 1950s there were no training courses available to civilians who bought the first scuba equipment. c. As recreational diving became more popular, manufacturers have made more and more diving equipment. d. Advances in scuba technology encourage more and more people to train and use it.

40. Holiday divers _______. a. do not like to dive in tropical and sub-tropical parts b. can dive as deep as they like because of safety c. are those who go away from home to dive d. are limited in tropical and sub-tropical parts

UNIT 14 A. Reading 1. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer (A,B, C or D) for each question. Water is necessary for life. People can live only a few days without it. Yet, nearly 25 million people die each year because of it. Both industrial nations and less developed countries are worried about the quality and quantity of water in the world. The United Nations called the 1980s the World Water Decade. The UN hoped to provide pure water for everyone by 1990. One of the problems about water is distribution. Water is not always distributed in the areas where the large population centres are. Some regions get enough rain, but others are short of water. Over half of the world is without pure drinking water. Seventy-five percent of city people have safe water, but only 29 percent of rural people do. About 80 percent of all illness is related to bead water. Millions of women and children spend up to six hours a day carrying water. When these women finish carrying water and doing their domestic work, they don‟t have time for anything else. In some dry areas, children must stay home from school to help carry water. The United Nations hopes to change this situation. It is attempting to develop water systems in a lot of regions in the world. Villages will be able to create and take care of these systems themselves, and other villages can copy them. UNICEF, the World Bank, and other organizations are helping. Local, national, and international organizations must all work together to improve the quality of life of millions of people with pure water.

It has been thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is not a real

equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated society.

Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women's place was in the kitchen and women's

work was housework. In many places, women were not even' allowed to go to school. Women had no rights,

even the right to choose husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions in society so they

thought they were more intelligent than women. Men often considered women as their property. Sometimes,

they were mistreated by their husbands and suffered the problem as a fate. Many parents did not even want to

daughters.

Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's roles, traditionally passed down from

generation to generation. Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family and key

leaders in society, while women are restricted to being housewives and child bearing and care, and housework

such as washing and cooking.

According to social surveys, many women in the 21st century still have to work over 12 hours a day

including working in offices and doing countless household chores without any help from their husbands. In

some regions, the labor of women is not recognized despite the hardships they endure to support the whole

family. Moreover, women are the direct victims of family violence, especially in rural areas.

Thanks to the women's liberation movement, nowadays women have proved that they are equal to men in

every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent as he

is. Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man can: they produce

children.

46. Which is not women's role in the former days?

a. Working in authority b. Doing housework

c. Doing cooking d. Bearing and rearing children
