Trang 2There 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.
Trang 3The expression " a blue moon" has come to refer to the second full moon occurring inany given calendar month A second full moon is not called a blue moon because it isparticularly 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 fullmoon (except February, which will have a full moon unless there is a full moon at thevery 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
Trang 4The 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 moonactually 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 ofthe 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.

Trang 83Niagara 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
Trang 84Most 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
Trang 85Tourists 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
Trang 86According to the passage, which of the following best describes Niagara Falls?
Trang 88Ch n mọ ột câu tr lả ời:
Trang 89a The Niagara River has two falls, one in Canada and one in the United States
Trang 90b Although the Niagara River flows through the United States and Canada, the falls are only in the United States.
Trang 92c American Falls is considerably higher than Horseshoe Falls
Trang 93d Niagara Falls consists of two rivers, one Canadian and the other American

Trang 102He 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.' Hestrives 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'
Trang 103The hunter-gatherer lifestyle indicates that women should exercise only a littleless 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].'
Trang 106Female exercise programmes should vary according to the shape of the individual.

Trang 121Of 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, ifyou want to be a lean, mean, survival machine why not try exercising like a caveman?
Trang 122The importance of genetic differences in deciding on an exercise programme is minimal.

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

Trang 158This new science, which De Vany calls evolutionary fitness, is part of growingefforts 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 ancientrhythm of life which swung between intense periods of activity and long
stretches of inertia
Trang 159Across the Palaeolithic age - which covers the period between 2.6 million and
Trang 16010,000years 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 uptubers, 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

Trang 167b the sudden movements required during their daily activities
