Fossils are the remains and traces (such as footprints or other marks) of ancient plant and animal life that

are more than 10,000 years old They range in size from microscopic structures to dinosaur skeletons and complete bodies of enormous animals Skeletons of extinct species of human are also considered fossils An environment favorable to the growth and later preservation of organisms is required for the occurrence of fossils Two conditions are almost always present: The possession of hard parts, either internal or external, such as bones, teeth, scales, shells, and wood; these parts remain after the rest of the organism has decayed Organisms that lack hard parts, such as worms and jelly fish, have left a meager geologic record Quick burial of the dead organism, so that protection is afforded against weathering, bacterial action, and scavengers

Nature provides many situations in which the remains of animals and plants are protected against destruction Of these, marine sediment is by far the most important environment for the preservation of fossils, owing to the incredible richness of marine life The beds of former lakes are also prolific sources of fossils The rapidly accumulating sediments in the channels, floodplains, and deltas of streams bury fresh- water organisms, along with land plants and animals that fall into the water

The beautifully preserved fossil fish from the Green River soil shale of Wyoming in the western United States lived in a vast shallow lake The frigid ground in the far north acts as a remarkable preservative for animal fossils The woolly mammoth, along-haired rhinoceros, and other mammals have been periodically

exposed in the tundra of Siberia, the hair and red flesh still frozen in cold storage

Volcanoes often provide environments favorable to fossil preservation Extensive falls of volcanic ash and coarser particles overwhelm and bury all forms of life, from

flying insects to great trees

Caves have preserved the bones of many animals that died in them and were subsequently buried under a blanket of clay or a cover of dripstone Predatory animals and early humans alike sought shelter in caves and brought food to them to the eater, leaving bones that paleontologists have discovered

Question 16: A best-seller B attraction C blockbuster D victory

Did you know that humans aren't the only species that use language? Bees communicate by dancing Whales talk to each other by singing And some apes talk to humans by using American Sign Language

from her trainer, Dr Penny Patterson Patterson began teaching sign language to Koko in 1972, when Koko was one year old Koko must have been a good student, because two years later she moved onto the Stanford University campus with Dr Patterson Koko continued to learn on the campus until 1976 That's when she began living full-time with Patterson's group, the Gorilla Foundation Patterson and Koko's relationship has blossomed ever since

Dr Patterson says that Koko has mastered sign language She says that Koko knows over 1,000 words, and

that Koko makes up new words For example, Koko didn't know the sign for ring, so she signed the words finger and bracelet Dr Patterson thinks that this shows meaningful and constructive use of language

Not everyone agrees with Dr Patterson Some argue that apes like Koko do not understand the meaning of what they are doing Skeptics say that these apes are just performing complex tricks For example, if Koko points

to an apple and signs red or apple, Dr Patterson will give her an apple They argue that Koko does not really know what the sign apple means She only knows that that if she makes the right motion, one which Dr Patterson

has shown her, then she gets an apple The debate is unresolved, but one thing is for certain: Koko is an extraordinary ape

Sign language isn't the only unusual thing about Koko She's also been a pet-owner In 1983, at the age of 12, researchers said that Koko asked for a cat for Christmas They gave Koko a stuffed cat Koko was not happy She

did not play with it, and she continued to sign sad So for her birthday in 1984, they let her pick a cat out of an

abandoned liter Koko picked a gray cat and named him "All Ball." Dr Patterson said that Koko loved and nurtured All Ball as though he were a baby gorilla Sadly, All Ball got out of Koko's cage and was hit by a car Patterson reported that Koko signed "Bad, sad, bad" and "Frown, cry, frown, sad" when she broke the news to her

It seems like Patterson and Koko have a good relationship, but not everyone agrees with it Some critics

believe that Patterson is humanizing the ape They believe that apes should be left in the most natural state

possible Even Dr Patterson struggles with these feelings When asked if her findings could be duplicated by

another group of scientists, she said, "We don't think that it would be ethical to do again." She went on to argue that animals should not be kept in such unnatural circumstances Nonetheless, Koko lives in her foundation today

As for the future, Dr Patterson and the Gorilla Foundation would love to get Koko to an ape preserve in Maui, but they are having trouble securing the land So unless you have a few million dollars to spare, Koko's going to

be spending her time in Woodland, California with Dr Patterson Koko probably doesn't mind that If she moved

to Hawaii, she'd have to give up her Facebook page and Twitter feed, and she's got like 50 thousand likes Some may deny that she knows sign language, but nobody says that she doesn't know social networking

The first English attempts to colonize North America were controlled by individuals rather than companies Sir Humphrey Gilbert was the first Englishman to send colonists to the New World His initial expedition, which sailed in 1578 with a patent granted by Queen Elizabeth was defeated by the Spanish A second attempt ended in disaster in 1583, when Gilbert and his ship were lost in a storm In the following year, Gilbert's half brother, Sir Water Raleigh, having obtained a renewal of the patent, sponsored an expedition that explored the coast of the region that he named "Virginia." Under Raleigh's direction efforts were then made to establish a colony on Roanoke island in 1585 and 1587 The survivors of the first settlement on Roanoke returned to England in 1586, but the second group of colonists disappeared without leaving a trace The failure of the Gilbert and Raleigh ventures made it clear that the tasks they had undertaken were too big for any one colonizer Within a short time the trading company had supplanted the individual promoter of colonization

technique

Imagine that you're a fly You're just zipping around the sky, looking for a place to rest, when you see nice

pink leaf That looks like a nice place to land You think to yourself in your fly head As you rest your feet on the

leaf, you notice something strange This leaf is hairy You begin to make your move, but you trigger the plant's

reflex Snap! In one-tenth of a second, you are caught in the Venus flytrap You will be digested in five to twelve

days Welcome to the world of carnivorous plants!

There are over a quarter of a million plant species Only 600 or so are carnivorous We call them this because they attract, trap, and eat bugs Like other plants, they get energy from the sun But unlike other plants, they get their nutrients from their prey Carnivorous plants live in bogs and places where the soil lacks nutrients Most plants get nutrients from the soil Carnivorous plants have turned to other sources

Trang 12

The snap of the Venus flytrap is not the only way that plants eat bugs Pitcher plants trick their prey into landing on them They offer nectar bribes to the foolish insects that would take them True to their name, pitcher plants have deep chambers Their landing surface is slippery They have inward pointing hairs, making it hard to escape The fly lands on the pitcher plant to eat, but slips into a pit filled with digestive fluids and is eaten

Then there're sundews We call them sundews because they sparkle in the sun as if covered in morning dew

Of course, that sparkle is from something much more treacherous It is a sweet goo called mucilage that bugs can't resist Sundews create mucilage to attract bugs As they fly in to eat, bugs become trapped in the very object

of their desire They soon exhaust themselves by trying to escape the mucilage Or the sundew's tentacles, which respond to prey by curling around them, smother them Bugs usually die in about 15 minutes Then the plant dissolves its prey in enzymes and absorbs the nutrients

Have you ever walked into trouble and found that you couldn't get out? So has every insect that has ever wandered into a corkscrew plant Bugs love to investigate plants for nectar and food

Corkscrew plants have inviting stems Curved hairs line the inside of these stems These hairs allow insects to

go up the stems, but not back Going forward leads a chamber filled with digestive fluid, the plant's stomach Bugs who wander into the corkscrew plant find that they are unable to escape They must march to their own demise

And then there are the bladderworts They're about as nice as they sound They live in water and float near the surface Their traps are like small bladders hidden beneath the water Only their flowers are visible from the surface When bugs swim into the trigger hairs, the plant reacts A trapdoor in the bladder opens up The bladder sucks up the prey and the water surrounding it A tenth of a second later, the bladder shuts again The plant has trapped the prey It releases digestive fluids The prey will be digested within hours

Carnivorous plants might sound tough, but they are difficult to keep at home They are built to survive in places that other plants cannot This specialization comes at a cost They have a hard time adapting to other environments Their strengths become weaknesses in rich soil They depend on the harsh yet delicate environments in which they thrive They are not so hardy after all Still, there's something to be said about the power of life when one finds a plant that can survive in barren soil

SOICHIRO HONDA

his first machines from engine parts that the military did not need after the war These machines were not real motorcycles; they were bicycles with motors People bought them because they needed a reliable form of

relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer You probably remember that the ozone layer is the protective shield around the earth It is important to all life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet light from the sun Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly made by the action of the sun in the upper atmosphere It is also regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes

The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed Scientists suspect that certain chemicals, such as fluoro-carbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer And how do we use fluoro-carbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling systems The chemical pollution from these fluoro-carbons can account for some of the ozone losses that have been reported There are, however, new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer We’ll go into that new study more next time

America's foods began to affect the rest of the world American emphasis on convenient and rapid consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers, French fries and soft drinks By the 1960s and 1970s, fast foods became one of America's strongest exports as franchises for Mc Donalds and Burger King spread through Europe and other parts of the world, including Russia and China Traditional meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace gave way to quick lunches and dinners eaten on the run as other countries imitated American cultural patterns

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system was desperately in need of

reform Private schools existed, but only for the very rich There were very few public schools because of the

strong sentiment that children who would grow up to be laborers should not "waste" their time on education

but should instead prepare themselves for their life’s work It was in the face of this public sentiment that

educational reformers set about their task Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated As Superintendent of Education in

the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country He extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries Although these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased public awareness as to the need for a further strengthening of the system
