Indoor climbing is a great way to discover whether or not you have a head for heights. Whatever you may have been told, size and strength aren’t that importance in climbing. Climbers just need to be fit, with a good sense of balance. Man-made climbing walls have footholds and handholds at different shapes and sizes. Beginners can choose walls with holds near to each other. More difficult routes up the wall will have small handholds quite close apart. 0. grow→ growing 3. ............................. 1. ............................. 4. ............................. 2. ............................. 5. ............................. III. READING (5,0 points) Activity 1: Fill each of the following numbered blanks with ONE suitable word. Of all the accounts of premonitions, one of the most dramatic and most easily verifiable concerns the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. In 1898, author Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called Futility, which bore many striking (1) .............................. to the loss of the Titanic 14 years later. Robertson’s ship, the Titan, was the largest ship afloat, and had the most modern equipment and the most highly qualified (2) .............................. members. The only thing that she (3) .............................. was a sufficient number of lifeboats to accommodate everyone on board. However, this did not seem to (4) .............................. as the Titan was believed to be unsinkable. It was April when the voyage in question took (5) .............................., and the Titan was steaming at (6) .............................. speed. On each of her two masts, the crew had hoisted great triangular (7) ............................... to help the ship make a record crossing. So intent on breaking this record were the crew that when they rammed a windjammer they did not stop to pick up anyone who might have (8) .............................. A curse was shouted by one of the sailors in the water, calling down the wrath of God on the doomed vessel. Later, on a foggy (9) .............................. moonlit night, theTitan encountered an iceberg. She did not strike it squarely, but slid up a gradual slope of ice until she was almost completely out of the water; the severely damaged ship then slid backwards into the water, after also (10) .............................. her starboard lifeboats smashed in the process. Out of 3,000 people on board, only 13 survived when the Titan sank. Activity 2: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable from A to G on the list and write it in each gap from 1 to 5. STAYING HEALTHY IN SPACE The range of foods available to astronauts is vast, and great care is taken to ensure that it looks and smells appetising. Meals are organised to provide an average of 3,000 calories a day, which seems high for living in an enclosed environment in which there is no gravity. But astronauts can expend a great deal of energy in doing the simplest things. For example, if they try to turn a handle, they turn themselves as well. If they bend down to do up a shoelace, (1)......................... Finding unusual ways of doing such ordinary things uses up the excess calories. The space diet is balanced rather differently from a terrestrial diet. This is to try and compensate for changes that take place in the body during space flight. Bodily changes begin as soon as astronauts go into space (2) .......................... Among the most serious is calcium loss, which causes a marked reduction in the mass and strength of bones. There is also a progressive loss of red blood cells. What causes these effects is not known, (3) .......................... The heart muscles, 4 with no gravity to battle against, start to waste away. The leg muscles start to waste away too, since walking, as done on Earth, (4) .......................... Exercise also helps to reduce muscle wastage (5) .......................... No one yet knows the limit of human endurance in space. If astronauts can withstand two years or more of continuous weightlessness, the mankind’s dream of visiting other planets could become reality in the early decades of the next century. A. and the question must be answered before long- duration space-flight is really safe B. and are quite noticeable after even a week C. they start turning somersaults D. and will never be known E. which is rather more than astronauts really need F. and is vital on very long flights G. can only be done if astronauts put on their heavy spacesuits Activity 3: Questions 1 - 4: Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D next to the right answer to each of the following questions. EDUCATING PSYCHE Educating Psyche by Bernie Neville is a book which looks at radical new approaches to learning, describing the effects of emotion, imagination and the unconscious on learning. One theory discussed in the book is that proposed by George Lozanov, which focuses on the power of suggestion. Lozanov’s instructional technique is based on the evidence that the connections made in the brain through unconscious processing (which he calls non-specific mental reactivity) are more durable than those made through conscious processing. Besides the laboratory evidence for this, we know from our experience that we often remember what we have perceived peripherally, long after we have forgotten what we set out to learn. If we think of a book we studied months or years ago, we will find it easier to recall peripheral details- the colour, the binding, the typeface, the table at the library where we sat while studying it- than the content on which we were concentrating. If we think of a lecture we listened to with great concentration, we will recall the lecture’s appearance and mannerisms, our place in the auditorium, the failure of the air-conditioning, much more easily than the ideas we went to learn. Even if these peripheral details are a bit elusive, they come back readily in hypnosis or when we relive the event imaginatively, as in psychodrama. The details of the content of the lecture, on the other hand, seem to have gone forever. This phenomenon can be partly attributed to the common counterproductive approach to study (making extreme efforts to memorise, tensing muscles, including fatigue), but it also simply reflects the way the brain functions. Lozanov therefore made indirect instruction (suggestion) central to his teaching system. In suggestopedia, as he called his method, consciousness is shifted away from the curriculum to focus on something peripheral. The curriculum then becomes peripheral and is dealt with by the reserve capacity of the brain. The suggestopedic approach to foreign language learning provides a good illustration. In its most recent variant (1980), it consists of the reading of vocabulary and text while the class is listening to music. The first session is in two parts. In the first part, the music is classical (Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms) and the teacher reads the text slowly and solemnly, with intention to the dynamics of the music. The students follow the text in their books. This is followed by several minutes of silence. In the second part, they listen to baroque music (Bach, Corelli, Handel) while the teacher reads the text in a normal 5 ... - tailieumienphi.vn
