Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions that follow
The saola is a forest-dwelling ox weighing about 100 kg The name saola comes from local words
meaning "spindle," for the shape of their horns All known locations for the species are mountainous with steep river valleys, covered by evergreen or semi-deciduous forests between 300 - 1800 m, with low human disturbance Current knowledge indicates that the saola prefers the edge areas of wet lowland evergreen forest habitats Villagers say that the ox eats the leaves of fig trees and other bushes along riverbanks The saola is said to travel in small groups of 2 - 3 animals, rarely up to 6 - 7 animals
First documented by Western scientists in Vietnam in 1992, the saola occurs in forested hills and mountains along the border between Laos and Vietnam It is currently estimated in less than 15 forest blocks in the two countries The number of saola subpopulations is probably about 6 - 15, and none likely numbers more than 50 animals It is likely that total saola numbers are fewer than 250 mature individuals, potentially making it the world's rarest land mammal
The saola population is declining at a high rate, probably due to the intensive, non-specific hunting of
most larger species of wildlife throughout the saola's range This is augmented by habitat loss due to
logging and forest clearance, all of which are accelerating due to widespread expansion of road networks
in the species' range

Targets
Always set a realistic work target Don't try to do too much For example, plan to read one chapter of a book each evening rather than think about reading the whole book over the weekend This kind of
detailed, planned target is more effective than a vague commitment It is sometimes helpful to tell your
friends about your plan This is a good incentive to keep you on target because they will know if you fail!
Rewards
Develop a system of small rewards for your work For example, stop for a cup of coffee or tea, or listen to
a favorite piece of music after one hour's study Rewarding yourself for keeping to your work plan will make you feel good about yourself

Quantity
A large task such as researching a new topic for an essay can be daunting - so daunting, in fact, that it
