Livestock farmers in developing countries have a relatively small environmental footprint and their animals provide them (21) food, income and transport for their crops, said Mario Herrero
"What these farmers need are technological options and economic incentives that help them (22)
their production in sustainable ways," he added Henning Stanfeld, coordinator of the Livestock, Environment and Development Initiative at the Food and Agriculture Organization, said: "If one
were able to connect this to smallholder development by making poor farmers benefit through the possibility of carbon offsets and carbon markets (23) would indeed create a situation where one would have (24) benefits, targeting poor people, while reducing the carbon 'hoofprints' [the arbon footprint of livestock]"
Trang 3Improving livestock production should be done to improve livelihoods and not just for climate reasons,
Kirtana Chandrasekaran, food campaigner for Friends of the Earth, told SciDev.Net She added that intensive
agriculture is also contributing to biodiversity loss, (25) "it's very dangerous" just to look at lowering

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.
The peregrine falcon, a predatory bird indigenous to North America, was once in danger of
extinction In the 1960s, scientists discovered by-products of the pesticide DDT in the birds’ eggs, which caused them to be too soft to survive The use of the pesticide had been banned in the United
States, but the falcons were eating migratory birds from other places where DDT was still used In order to increase the survival rate, scientists were raising the bfrds in laboratories and then releasing them into mountainous areas This practice achieved only moderate success, however, because many of the birds raised in captivity could not survive in the wild
There is now, however, a new alternative to releases in the wild A falcon that has been given the name Scarlett chose to make her home on a ledge of the 33rd floor of a Baltimore, Maryland, office building rather than in the wild, and, to the surprise of the scientists, she has managed to live quite well in the city Following this example, programs have been initiated that release birds like Scarlett into cities rather than into thefr natural wild habitat These urban releases are becoming a common way to strengthen the species.
Urban homes have several benefits for the birds that wild spots do not First, there is an abundance of
pigeons and small birds as food sources The peregrine in the city is also protected from its main predator, the great homed owl.
Urban release programs have been very successful in reestablishing the peregrine falcons along the East Coast Although they are still an endangered species, their numbers increased from about 60 nesting pairs in 1975 to about 700 pairs in 1992 In another decade the species may flourish again, this time without human help

A releases into the wild B harmful effects of pesticides

A There are high places to nest B There are other falcons nearby.
C There is a lack of predators D There is abundant food.

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.
Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality Modern dance was one of the ways some of the people sought to free their creative spirit At the beginning there was no exacting technique, no foundation from which to build In later years trial, error, and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement Eventually, innovators even
drew from what they considered the dread ballet, but first they had to discard all that was academic
so that the new could be discovered The beginnings of modern dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed
Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature She believed movement should be as
Trang 5natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the sea, and should be in harmony with
the movements of the Earth Her great contributions are in three areas
First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movements that could be used in dance Before Duncan danced, ballet was only type of dance performed in concert In the ballet the feet and legs
were emphasized, with virtuosity shown by complicated, codified positions and movements.
Duncan performed dance by using all her body in the freest possible way Her dance stemmed from her soul and spirit She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art
Her second contribution lies in dance costume She discarded corset, ballet shoes and stiff costumes These were replaced with flowing Grecian tunics, bare feet, and unbound hair She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this ideal
Her third contribution was in the use of music In her performances she used the symphonies of great
masters, including Beethoven and Wangner, which was not the usual custom She was as exciting and
eccentric in her personal life as in her dance
