Read the passage and answer the questions

Africa's wild giraffe population has plunged dramatically and the world's tallest animals are in

the process of a "silent extinction", a conservation group has reported

Giraffe populations have fallen by up to 40% over the last 30 years, the International Union for

Conservation of Nature says in the latest edition of its "Red List" of endangered species The

gentle giants' numbers have dipped from as many as 163,000 in 1985 to just over 97,000 last

year, according to the report

The steep decline was one of the headline statistics from the report, and is driven by some

familiar factors including habitat loss, civil unrest and unforgettably, illegal hunting Elsewhere,

of the 742 newly recognized bird species in the list, 11% are considered threatened ‒ and 13

already listed as "extinct"

"Many species are slipping away before we can even describe them," IUCN Director General

Inger Andersen said in response to the report's publication "This IUCN Red List update shows that the scale of the global extinction crisis may be even greater than we thought."

Among bird species under threat is the African grey parrot, a popular pet, which is now classed

as "Endangered" on the list because of "unsustainable trapping and habitat loss."

Across animals, birds, insects, aquatic life and plants, the list now includes 85,604 species, of

which 24,307 are threatened with extinction

The plunge in the number of wild giraffe prompted the group to move the animals from the

"least concern" rating to "vulnerable", in the report

"Whilst giraffes are commonly seen on safari, in the media and in zoos, people ‒ including

conservationists ‒ are unaware that these majestic animals are undergoing a silent extinction,"

IUCN co-Chairman Julian Fennessy, was quoted as saying

"With a decline of almost 40% in the last three decades alone, the world's tallest animal is

under severe pressure in some of its core ranges across East, Central and West Africa As one

of the world's most iconic animals, it is timely that we take risks for the giraffe before it is too

late."

Of nine subspecies of giraffe, five are declining in numbers, while three have increasing

populations and one is stable

Question 33: We can forget about the threat of poaching to giraffes because it no longer exists Question 34: The causes leading to the significant decline of giraffes are different from those

happening to other species

Question 35: Over a third of newly-listed plants and animals are in danger of dying out

Question 36: Once-popular grey parrot is in danger of extinction resulting from continuous

catching

Question 37: The species usually disappear too fast for scientists to describe

Question 38: Giraffes used to be a safe species

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the following questions

Let children learn to judge their own work A child learning to talk does not learn by being

corrected all the time If corrected too much, he will stop talking He notices a thousand times a

day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use Bit

by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's In the same

way, children learn all the other things they learn to do without being taught - to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle - compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his

mistakes for himself, let alone correct them We do it all for him We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made

to Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher Let him do it himself Let him work out, with

the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not

If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book Let him correct his own papers Why should we teachers waste time on such routine

work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the

right answer Let's end all this nonsense of grades, exams, and marks Let us throw them all

out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know

Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as

school teachers if they ask for it The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at

school and used for the rest of one's life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly

will go out into the world and learn it
