READING
A. Read the text carefully then choose the correct answers.
Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become
extinct or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which 'once roamed
the 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
material 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 species, 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
countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal

since water exists on Mars, life forms could exist as well.
However, there are (8) _____ who feel that life on mars is not possible. This is because

Read the text carefully, then choose the correct answer.
Hobbies are practiced for interest and enjoyment, rather than financial reward. Examples include
collecting, creative and artistic pursuits, making, tinkering, sports and adult education. Engaging in a
hobby can lead to acquiring substantial skill, knowledge, and experience. However, personal fulfillment
is the aim.
What are hobbies for some people are professions for others: a game tester may enjoy cooking as a
hobby, while a professional chef might enjoy playing (and helping to debug) computer games. Generally
speaking, the person who does something for fun, not remuneration, is called an amateur (or hobbyist),
as distinct from professional.
An important determinant of what is considered a hobby, as distinct from a profession (beyond the
lack of remuneration), is probably how easy it is to make a living at the activity. Almost no one can
make a living at cigarette card or stamp collecting, but many people find it enjoyable; so it is commonly
regarded as a hobby.
Amateur astronomers often make meaningful contributions to the professionals. It is -not entirely
uncommon for a hobbyist to be the first to discover a celestial body or event.
In the UK, the pejorative noun anorak (similar to the Japanese 'otaku' meaning a geek or enthusiast)
is often applied to people who obsessively pursue a particular hobby that is considered boring, such as
train spotting or stamp collecting.
