Though gambling is typically associated with casino games, strategic sport betting is

rapidly gaining in popularity – and that's a whole other ball game, Prof Dannon explains

"Sports gamblers seem to believe themselves the cleverest of all gamblers They think that withexperience and knowledge – such as player's statistics, manager's habits, weather conditions,and stadium capacity – they can predict the outcome of a game better than the average person."But in a study published in the journal Psychopathology, Prof Dannon and Dr RonenHuberfeld of the Beer Yaakov Mental Health Center determined that neither betting experiencenor knowledge of the arcane details of the game is connected to successful betting outcomes.Indeed, he says, the two most successful gamblers in their study had no prior experience ingambling or knowledge of the sport in question This should inform how psychologistsapproach sports gamblers, who need to be treated using different methods than their casino-addicted counterparts For their study, the researchers focused on the field of soccer betting, one

of the most popular and growing forms of sports gambling They recruited three groups ofparticipants, including 53 professional sports gamblers, 34 soccer fans who were knowledgeable

about the sport but had never gambled, and finally, 78 non-gamblers with no prior knowledge ofsoccer at all All participants were asked to place bets on the final scores of the 16 second-roundmatches of the Champion's League, organized by the Union of European Football Associations.

This model mimics how gamblers actually put their money on the games, where they need to

bet on exact scores to win

Although those who had prior knowledge of soccer were expected to have a higher successrate, the researchers discovered that, in fact, their success rate was no better than those of theother two groups Interestingly, the two participants with the most successful record, correctly

betting on seven out of the 16 games each, hailed from the group with no prior understanding

of the sport

This doesn't indicate that there is an advantage to inexperience, says Prof Dannon – manyothers in the third group were unable to predict any of the results correctly But the outcomeexposes the myth of knowledge as a powerful betting advantage The sense of control thatencourages sports gamblers in their betting is just an illusion

There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe Two that arefrequently linked to one another are earthquakes and tsunamis Both of them can cause a greatamount of devastation when they hit However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes andcannot happen without them

The Earth has three main parts They are the crust, the mantle, and the core The crust is

the outer layer of the Earth It is not a single piece of land Instead, it is comprised of a number

of plates There are a few enormous plates and many smaller ones These plates essentially restupon the mantle, which is fluid As a result, the plates are in constant - yet slow – motion Theplates may move away from or towards other plates In some cases, they collide violently withthe plates adjoining them The movement of the plates causes tension in the rock Over a longtime, this tension may build up When it is released, an earthquake happens

Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year The vast majority are so small that

only scientific instruments can perceive them Others are powerful enough that people can feel

them, yet they cause little harm or damage More powerful earthquakes, however, can causebuildings, bridges, and other structures to collapse They may additionally injure and killthousands of people and might even cause the land to change its appearance

Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath theplanet's oceans Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move This results in thedisplacement of water in the ocean When this occurs, a tsunami may form This is a wave thatforms on the surface and moves in all directions from the place where the earthquake happened

A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousands of kilometers As it approachesland, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea This causes the tsunamis to increase inheight Minutes later, the tsunami arrives A large tsunami - once more than ten meters in height

- can travel far inland As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human settlements, and killlarge numbers of people

Câu 34 (NB): The word "it" in bold in paragraph 2 refers to

A The mantle B The crust C The Earth D The core

Câu 35 (TH): The word “perceive” in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning

Câu 36 (TH): Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 3 about earthquakes?

A How many people they typically kill B How often powerful ones take place

C What kind of damage they can cause D How severe the majority of them are

Câu 37 (TH): Based on the passage, what is probably TRUE about tsunamis?

A They kill more people each year than earthquakes

B They are able to move as fast as the speed of sound

C They can be deadly to people standing nearshore

D They cannot damage ships sailing on the ocean

Câu 38 (VD): What is the passage mainly about?

surging growth came from natural increase The depression of the 1930s and the war had held

back marriages, and the catching-up process began after 1945 The baby boom continuedthrough the decade of the 1950s, producing a been exceeded only once before in Canada'shistory, in the decade before 1911, when the prairies were population increase of nearly fifteenpercent in the five years from 1951 to 1956 This rate of increase had been settled.Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of the 1950s supported a growth in the population,

After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline It continued fallinguntil 1966 it stood at the lowest level in 25 years Partly this decline reflected the low level ofbirths during the depression and the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society.Young people were staying at school longer; more women were working; young marriedcouples were buying automobiles or houses before starting families; rising living standardswere cutting down the size of families.

It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smallerfamilies that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the IndustrialRevolution Although the growth in Canada's population had slowed down by 1966 (theincrease in the first half of the 1960s was only nine percent), another large population wave was

The Urban Gardener

Cities are home to skyscrapers and apartment buildings, and it's rare to find wide, openspaces within them With limited space for parks and gardens, architects and city planners oftenfind it challenging to incorporate greenery into neighbourhoods

One creative solution is to grow plants on unused areas like walls or rooftops It's apopular idea, and now rooftop gardens and green walls have been spouting up in cities aroundthe world There are many benefits to having green spaces to the urban landscape Addinggardens to rooftops or walls can create a pleasant environment - what was once a grey cementwall can become a colourful, blooming garden The CaxiaForum art gallery in Madrid, Spain, is

a famous example - one of its walls is covered with 15,000 plants from over 250 differentspecies

In other cities, green walls are being used more functionally, to cover up constructionsites and empty buildings and to prominently decorate the lobbies of office buildings Usingplants to cover walls and rooftops can also keep cities cooler in the summer Buildings androads absorb the sun's heat and hold it, causing a building or neighbourhood to stay warmerlonger Plants, on the other hand, provide an enormous amount of shade There is evidence thatgrowing a roof or wall garden can lower a building's energy costs Many cities offer taxdiscounts to businesses with these features In Ne City, public schools plant rooftop gardens thatcan reduce heating and cooling costs

In addition to saving the school money, teachers and parents love the gardens because oftheir educational value - it's a fun and healthy way for their kids to investigate the world aroundthem “For the children, it's exciting when you grow something edible," said Lauren Fontana,

principal of a New York public school

These green spaces are also used to grow food In recent years, rooftop gardens haveslowly been included in the "local food movement" This is based on the concept that locallygrown food reduces pollution since it does not have to be transported far Vegetables are beinggrown in rooftop gardens by schools, churches, neighbourhoods and even restaurants ChefRick Bayless serves “Rooftop S his restaurant in Chicago, USA, using only ingredients grown

SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES

A satellite is best understood as a projectile, or an object that has only one force acting

on gravity Technically speaking, anything that crosses the Karman Line at an altitude ofkilometers (62 miles) is considered in space However, a satellite needs to be going fast — atleast 8 km (5 miles) a second - to stop from falling back down to Earth immediately

If a satellite is traveling fast enough, it will perpetually "fall" toward Earth, but the

Earth's curvature means that the satellite will fall around our planet instead of crashing back on

the surface Satellites that travel closer to Earth are at risk of falling because the drag of

atmospheric molecules will slow the satellites down Those that orbit farther away from Earth

have fewer molecules to contend with

There are several accepted "zones" of orbits around the Earth One is called orbit, which extends from about 160 to 2,000 km (about 100 to 1,250 miles) This is the zonewhere the ISS orbits and where the space shuttle used to do its work In fact, all human missionsexcept for the Apollo flights to the moon took place in this zone Most satellites also work inthis zone

low-Earth-Geostationary or geosynchronous orbit is the best spot for communications satellites touse, however This is a zone above Earth's equator at an altitude of 35,786 km (22,236 mi) Atthis altitude, the rate of "fall" around the Earth is about the same as Earth's rotation, whichallows the satellite to stay above the same spot on Earth almost constantly The satellite thuskeeps a perpetual connection with a fixed antenna on the ground, allowing for reliablecommunications When geostationary satellites reach the end of their life, protocol dictatesthey're moved out of the way for a new satellite to take their place That's because there is only

so much room, or so many "slots" in that orbit, to allow the satellites to operate withoutinterference

While some satellites are best used around the equator, others are better suited to morepolar orbits - those that circle the Earth from pole to pole so that their coverage zones includethe north and south poles Examples of polar-orbiting satellites include weather satellites andreconnaissance satellites
