Mountaineers have noted that as they climb, for example, up to the 12,633-foot Humphreys
Peak in the San Francisco Peaks in Arizona, plant life changes radically Starting among the cacti
of the Sonoran Desert, one climbs into a pine forest at 7,000 feet and a treeless alpine tundra at the summit It may seem that plants at a given altitude are associated in what can be called
“communities” – groupings of interacting species The idea is that over time, plants that require particular climate and soil conditions come to live in the same places, and hence are frequently to
be found together Scientists who study the history of plant life are known as paleobotanists, or paleobots for short They build up a picture of how groups of plants have responded to climate
changes and how ecosystems develop But are these associations, which are real in the present,
permanent?
A great natural experiment took place on this planet between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago,
when small changes in the earth’s orbit and axis of rotation caused great sheets of ice to spread
from the poles These glaciers covered much of North America and Europe to depths of up to two miles, and then, as the climate warmed, they retreated During this retreat, they left behind newly

uncovered land for living things to colonize, and as those living things moved in they laid down a record we can read now As the ice retreated and plants started to grow near a lake, they would release pollen Some would fall into the lake, sink to the bottom, and be incorporated into the
sediment By drilling into the lake bottom it is possible to read the record of successive plant life
around the lake The fossil record seems clear; there is little or no evidence that entire groups of plants moved north together Things that lived together in the past don’t live together now, and things that live together now didn’t live together in the past Each individual organism moved at its own pace The fossil record seems to be telling us that we should be thinking about preserving species by giving them room to maneuver – to respond to environmental changes

Charles Lindbergh was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1902 but was raised on a farm in Minnesota, where his father was elected to the U.S Congress in 1907 From then on, he spent his boyhood alternately
in Washington, D.C, and Little Falls, Minnesota
Because Lindbergh exhibited exceptional mechanical talent, in 1921 he was admitted to the university of Wisconsin to study engineering However the young man was seeking more challenging endeavors, and two years later he became a stunt pilot who performed feats at county fairs and public
assemblies This unusual and undertaking paid off handsomely in the sense that it allowed him to gain a
diverse and well- rounded experience in aeronautics He particularly delighted in what he called "wing-walking" and parachute jumping
After a year of trainging as a millitary cadet, Lindbergh completed his program at the Brooks and Kelly airfields at the top of his class and earned the rank of captain Roberton Aircraft Corporation of St Louis, Missouri, offered him employment as a mail pilot to run the routes between St Louis and Chicago, and Lindbergh retained his position with the company until 1927 During this period, he set out to win the Raymond B Orteig prize of $ 25,000 to be awarded to the first pilot to fly nonstop from New York to
Paris This ambition would irreversibly change his life and accord him a prominent place in the history of
aviation
Embarking on the greatest adventure of his time, Lindbergh left Roosevelt Field at 7:52 A.M on May, 20, 1927, and landed at Bourget Field at 5:24 P.M the next day Fearing that he would be unknown when he arrived, Lindbergh carried letters of introduction to dignitaries in Paris, but when his plane came
to a stop, he was overwhelmed by tremendous welcoming crowds He was decorated in France, Great Britain, and Belgium, and President Coolidge sent a specially designated cruiser, the Memphis, to bring him back His accomplishments in aeronautics brought him more medals and awards than had ever been received by any other person in private life

C the effect of instant celebrity on Lindbergh
D Lindbergh 's aircraft and engine modifications
X Choose the word or phrase that is closest in meaning to the underlined part in each sentence
76 Although many suggest that the trade in tropical wood products is the primary source of deforestation, the root causes of tropical deforestation are poverty and overpopulation
