Since the world has become industrialized , there has been increase in the number of animal _(23) _that have become extinct or nearly extinct Bengal tigers, (24) were once found in large number injungles, now are thought to be only 2,300 in number By the year 2025 their (25) in the world isestimated to be down to zero “The dangerous thing is that people don’t hunt them for money butmainly _(26) _ they enjoy hunting them Animals like the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangeredspecies are very important to the world’s ecosystem International laws protecting these animal must bepassed to save them Countries around the world have begun to solve the problem in many ways.Reserves and national parks have been established Money provided by world organizations has beenspent on maintaining the parks The use of products made them from _(27) species has been stopped.

My first piece of advice to people who want to start getting fit is don’t buy an exercise bike.Typically, people who buy them use them for a week or so and then forget about them There are

effective if they are used regularly but you need to be determined Most people will find it much

easier to go for a gentle jog around the park

As well as being easy to do, jogging is also relatively cheap compared to most other sports Youdon’t need to buy expensive clothes if you’re just going running around the park or on the beach.The main thing is that they’re comfortable, and that they keep you warm in the winter and cool inthe summer There is one piece of equipment, however, that you will have to spend time and money

on, and that’s your running shoes Remember that you are not looking for a fashion item, but for

something that will support your feet and protect you from injury They can be expensive, but if

they are good quality they will last you a long time It’s always best to get expert advice, and thebest place for that is a sports shop

As for the actual jogging, the secret is to start gently, and not to do much at the beginning –

especially if you haven’t had any exercise for a long time Try a mixture of walking and running for

ten minutes about three times a week at first Once you are happy doing that you can then start to

increase the amount you do gradually After a few months you should hope to be able to run atresonable speed for twenty minutes three or four times a week It’s important that you feelcomfortable with whatever you do If you do, you’ll start to enjoy it and will probably keep doing

it If it makes you feel uncomfortable, you’ll probably stop after a short time and return to your badhabits In any case, training too hard is not very effective Research has shown that somebody whoexercise for twice as long as or twice as hard as another person doesn’t automatically become twice

as fit

In the 1960s it took pop and rock groups one or two days to record their songs Nowadays, itcan take months and months Many rock groups begin by recording only one instrument, forexample, the voice Then they record other instruments- electric piano, synthesizer, guitars, drumsand so on

Next, they might use a computer to add special effects Finally, they ‘mix’ all the instrumentsuntil they get the sound that they want This means that a CD or cassette wil always sound verydifferent from a live concert

Music engineers have developed a new computer programme that will change the future ofmusic A computer can analyse a singer’s voice Then if you give the computer the lyrics and music

of a song, the computer can ‘sing’ it in that voice This means that a singer only needs to record one

song and the computer can then sing other songs in the singer’s own voice Singers can sing newsongs many years after they have died

Most of us listen to music for pleasure, but for the record companies, music is a product, thesame as soap powder When a record company finds a new group (or “band”), they first try to

develop the band’s ‘profile’ They will try to create an ‘image’ for the band that they think will

attract young people Instead of allowing the band’s full artistic freedom, they will often tell theband what they should wear, what they should say and how they should sing and play

In recent year, many rock groups have started their own record companies because they say thatthe big companies are too commercial

28 Today, to record songs, it takes

A Longer than it used to do

B Shorter than it used to do

C Only one or two days

D The singer does not necessarily present to really sing

31 Record companies don’t always _

A Suggest the outfits of the band

B Tell the band what to say
