on science and conservation issues such as diversity.

Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century

is the (striking) difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions

For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found on the British islands did not (exceed) 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321 Thisearly comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed

A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different animal and plant groups However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or tropical regions, rather than between them, is poorly understood Indeed, comparisons of numbers

of species among the Amazon basin, (tropical Asia), and Africa are still mostly"personal

communication" citations, even for vertebrates In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase

In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are made Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known

about the evenness of butterfly distribution The New World butterflies make up the preponderance

of examples because they are the most familiar species It is hoped that by focusing on them, the errors (generated) by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized

A a general theory of butterfly diversity has not yet been firmly established

B butterflies are affected by human populations

C butterfly behavior varies with climate

D documenting plant species is more difficult than documenting butterfly species

8: Which of the following is NOT well understood by biologists?

A European butterfly habitats

B Comparisons of behavior patterns of butterflies and certain animal groups

C Differences in species richness within a temperate or a tropical region

D Differences in species richness between temperate and tropical regions

A there are many other things that we don't know about butterfly evenness distribution

B wedon't know anything about butterfly evenness distribution

C we know much about butterfly evenness distribution

COULD COMPUTER GAMES BE GOOD FOR YOU AFTER ALL?

In Britain, the average young person now spends more money on games each year than on going to thecinema or renting videos But is this (1) a bad thing? For years, newspaper reports have been saying that children who spend too much time playing computer games become unsociable, bad- tempered, even violent as a result But new research, (2) out in both Europe and the USA, suggests that the opposite may be true

Indeed, playing some of the more complicated games may help people of all ages to improve certain skills Researchers claim that this is because the games make the brain work harder in certain ways, like (3) sounds and movements quickly and identifying what they are The fact that people play the games repeatedly (4) that they get a lot of practice in these skills which are therefore likely to become highly developed.

Social skills may benefit, too Researchers in Chicago think that fans of first-person shooter games such a nt t i a tt than n n-players when it comes to building trust and co-operation, and that this help them make good friendships and become strong members of their communities

So rather than (5) up computer games, perhaps young people need to spend more time on them
