correct answer to each of the questions from 19 to 28
Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial
problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop
Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its
desiccating effects No moist- skinned, water-loving animals can exist there Few large animals are found The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest Its population is
largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth Yet they are not emaciated.
Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes
So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging
to hunt only by night The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees

Robert Capa
1 Robert Capa is a name that has for many years been synonymous with war photography
2 Born in Hungary in 1913 as Friedmann Endre Ernő, Capa was forced to leave his native country after his involvement in anti-government protests Capa had originally wanted to become a writer, but after his arrival in Berlin had first found work as a photographer He later left Germany and moved to France due
to the rise in Nazism He tried to find work as a freelance journalist and it was here that he changed his name to Robert Capa, mainly because he thought it would sound more American
3 In 1936, after the breakout of the Spanish Civil war, Capa went to Spain and it was here over the next three years that he built his reputation as a war photographer It was here too in 1936 that he took one of
his most famous pictures, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier One of Capa’s most famous quotes was 'If
your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.' And he took his attitude of getting close to the
action to an extreme His photograph, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier is a prime example of this as Capa
captures the very moment the soldier falls However, many have questioned the authenticity of this photograph, claiming that it was staged
4 When World war II broke out, Capa was in New York, but he was soon back in Europe covering the war for Life magazine Some of his most famous work was created on 6th June 1944 when he swam ashore with the first assault on Omaha Beach in the D-Day invasion of Normandy Capa, armed only with two cameras, took more than one hundred photographs in the first hour of the landing, but a mistake in the darkroom during the drying of the film destroyed all but eight frames It was the images from these frames however that inspired the visual style of Steven Spielberg's Oscar winning movie ‘Saving Private Ryan’ When Life magazine published the photographs, they claimed that they were slightly out of focus, and Capa later used this as the title of his autobiographical account of the war
5 Capa’s private life was no less dramatic He was friend to many of Hollywood’s directors, actors and actresses In 1943 he fell in love with the wife of actor John Austin His affair with her lasted until the end
of the war and became the subject of his war memoirs He was at one time lover to actress Ingrid Bergman Their relationship finally ended in 1946 when he refused to settle in Hollywood and went off to Turkey
Trang 106 In 1947 Capa was among a group of photojournalists who founded Magnum Photos This was a co-operative organisation set up to support photographers and help them to retain ownership of the copyright
to their work
7 Capa went on to document many other wars He never attempted to glamorise war though, but to record the horror He once said, "The desire of any war photographer is to be put out of business."
8 Capa died as he had lived After promising not to photograph any more wars, he accepted an assignment to go to Indochina to cover the first Indochina war On May 25th 1954 Capa was accompanying a French regiment when he left his jeep to take some photographs of the advance and stepped on a land mine He was taken to a nearby hospital, still clutching his camera, but was pronounced dead on arrival He left behind him a testament to the horrors of war and a standard for photojournalism that few others have been able to reach
9 Capa’s legacy has lived on through and in 1966 his brother Cornell founded the International Fund for Concerned Photography in his honor There is also a Robert Capa Gold Medal, which is given to the photographer who publishes the best photographic reporting from abroad with evidence of exceptional courage But perhaps his greatest legacy of all is the haunting images of the human struggles that he captured.Top of Form
