Galaxies are not evenly distributed through the universe A few are found alone, but almost all are
grouped in formations termed galactic clusters These formations should not be confused with stellar
clusters, globularclusters of stars that exist within galaxy The size of galactic clusters varies
Trang 3Trang 3/5 - Mã đề thi 424
10,000 Moreover, galactic clusters themselves are part of larger clusters of clusters, termed super clusters It is surmised that even clusters of super clusters are possible
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a galactic cluster called the Local Group, which has twenty members and is typical in terms of the types of galaxies it contains There are three large spiral galaxies: Andromeda, the largest galaxy in the group; the Milky Way, the second- largest galaxy; and the Triangulum Spiral, the third largest There are also four medium-sized spiral galaxies, including the Large Cloud of Magallan and the Small Cloud of Magellan There are four regular elliptical galaxies; the remainder are dwaftellipticals Other than our own galaxy, only Andromeda and the Clouds of Magellan can be seen with the naked eye, and the Clouds are visiable only from the Southern Hemisphere
In the vicinity of the Local Group are several clusters, each containing around twelve members.The nearest rich in members is the Virgo Cluster, which contains thousands of galaxies of all types Like
most large clusters, it emits X-rays The Local Group, the small neighboring clusters, and the Virgo
Cluster form part of a much larger cluster of clusters – the Local Super cluster
The existence of galactic clusters presented a riddle to scientists for many years – the “ missing mass” problem Clusters are presumally held together by the gravity generated by their members However, measurements showed that the galaxies did not have enough mass to explain their apparent stability Why didn’t these clusters disintegrate? It is now thought that galaxies contain great amounts
of “ dark matter”, which can not be directly observed but which generates gravitation pull The matter includes gas, dust, burnt –out stars, and even black holes

Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best way to make an important
decision, such as choosing a university to attend or business to invest in, involves the utilization of a
decision worksheet Psychologists who study optimization compare the actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are Proponents of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets can take, they are all similar in their essential aspects
Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible
solutions to the problem Next, the pertinent considerations that all possible solutions to the problem Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision
Trang 4Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making
procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally
comprehend and remember On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once
A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships A realistic example for many college students is the question "What will I do after graduation?" A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year
A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to "What will I do after graduation that will lead to a successful career?"
Câu 33: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A tool to assist in making complex decisions
B A comparison of actual decisions and ideal ones
C Differences between long-range and short-range decision making

C Deciding which consequences are most important
