Nowadays students are more dynamic and sensible for cornparison with students in the past in<br />

termsoftheirquickadaptationtonewconditionsu''d.i,"@theycanquicklyadapt<br />
<br />
to new conditions and circumstances). Students used to be academic. For them there was a great distant<br />
between lecture hal1s and daily life; between theory and practice. Today students can take part in more<br />
different fields such as science, manual work, business, arts, etc. They not only specialize-intheir jobs<br />
but also earn their living from all sort ofjobs. Th"y are able to find out the society's needs in order to<br />
direct their interest to the career.<br />
They place more emphasis on work efficiency. Before starting anything, they often ask themselves<br />
the question "What good will it do?" or "What are the personal profits?" That's the motive stimulation<br />
the dynamism and enthusiasm, however with that reason, young people can hardly avoid pragmatism.<br />

in the wann water' You can go sport fishing from the<br />
shore oi from- a boat. iiyou like boats, you can go<br />
sailing, canoeing, or windsurfing. or,<br />
Ylu can also try some other water sports that are especially<br />
popular in<br />
<br />
Hawaii: surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving.<br />
Surfing is a sport which started in Hawaii man' years<br />
ago. The Hawaiians called it .,he,e nalu,,,<br />
which means "to slide on a wave". If you want to try<br />
rrrnng, you ,r..J, firrt of all, to be a good<br />
swimmer' You also have to have an exceilent sense of<br />
balance. You must swim out from the beach with<br />
yorlr surfboard under your arm. when you get<br />
to where the waves begin to break, you wait for a calm<br />
moment' Then you try to stand up on the board. The<br />
wave will begin t6 rise *a., you. you must try to<br />
steer the board with your feet st you stay on top<br />
of the y_rye. The important thing is to keep your<br />
balance and not to fall down. If you can manage<br />
this, you will have an exciting ride all the way into the<br />
shore.<br />
Scuba diving and snorkeling are<br />
ways to get chose look at the beauty lying below the<br />
suface of the ocean' The waters off th. f,yo<br />
Hawaiian rsr#is are clean, clear, and warm. They contain<br />
hundreds of kinds of colourfulfish. The undersea<br />
world is made even more colourful by the coral reefs<br />
of rbd, gold, white, and light purple. Among these reefs<br />
there may be large fish or sea turtles.<br />
Scuba diving allows you to ste the most interesting<br />
undersea sights. .,scuba,, means ,.Selfcontained underwater.Breathing Appara!s'], that is,<br />
equipment for breathing and swimming around far<br />
under water' In Hawaii, you can take special .ourr.,<br />
to learn how to scuba jive. After the courses, you<br />
can get a certificate that will allow you to dive alone.<br />
Since it can be a*g..or., proper instruction and<br />
great care are always necessary when you are<br />
scuba diving.<br />
If you are less adventurous, you mjsht tv snorkefng instead of scuba<br />
diving. Less equipment is<br />
needed, just a face mask, a breathing<br />
(snorkel) and'flippers for your feet. It only takes<br />
a few<br />
tlbe<br />
minutes to learn how to snorkel. Although<br />
you .u*oidiu. deep into the water, you can swim<br />
with<br />
your<br />
face below the surface Breathing through ihe tube, you<br />
noat on the surface, rnd k..p yourself moving<br />
with your flippers. Even from the surfaci like this, ihere<br />
will be plenty of colour and beauty to see.<br />

B. For centuries, sky watchers have reported seeing mysterious flashes of light on the surface of<br />
the moon. Modern ashonomers have observed the same phenomenon, but no one has been able to<br />
satisfactorily explain how or why the Moon sporadically sparks. However, researchers now believe they<br />
have found the cause.<br />
Researchers have examined the chemical content of Moon rocks retrieved by astronauts during<br />
the Apollo missions and have found that they contain volatile gases such as helium, hydrogen and argon.<br />
The researchers suggest that stray electrons, freed when the rock cracks, may ignite these gases. Indeed,<br />
lunar rock samples, when fractured in the lab, throw off sparks.<br />
What causes these rocks to crack on the lunar surface? The flashes are most often seen at the<br />
borders between sunlight and shade on the Moon, where the surface is being either intensely heated or<br />
cooled. A sudden change in temperatures may cause thermal cracking. Another possibility is that<br />
meteors may strike the rocks and cause them to crack. Finally, lunar rocks may be fractured by seismic<br />
events - in other words, by tiny moonquakes.<br />
64. According to the passage, how long have people been aware of the mysterious lights on the Moon?<br />
A. For the last ten years.<br />
B. Since the Apollo moon missions.<br />
C. For hundreds of years.<br />
D. For thousands of years.<br />
65. The word "sporadically" is closest meaning to .........<br />
A. reputedly B. occasionally C. mysteriously D. constantly<br />
66. The word "retrieved" is closest meaning to .........<br />
A. invented<br />
B. brought back<br />
C. recovered<br />
D. renewed<br />
67.The word 'othey" refers to .........<br />
A. helium, hydrogen and argon<br />
B. researchers<br />
C. Apollo spacecrafts<br />
D. lunar rocks<br />
68. The word "stray" is closest meaning to .... .....<br />
A.loose<br />
B. speeding<br />
C. fiery<br />
D. spinning<br />
69, The word "fractured" is closest meaning to ..... ....<br />
A. produced B. degraded<br />
D. analyzed<br />
C. broken<br />
70. According to the passage, the theory that Moon rocks give off sparks when they crack is supported<br />
by ..............<br />
A. a telescopic study of the Moon<br />
B. experiments conducted by astronauts<br />
