Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned vehicles, along with breakthroughs in<br />
satellite technology and computer equipment, have overcome some of the limitations of divers and<br />
diving equipment for scientists doing research on the great oceans of the world. Without a vehicle,<br />
Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 132<br />
<br />
divers often became sluggish, and their mental concentration was severely limited. Because undersea<br />
pressure affects their speech organs, communication among divers has always been difficult or<br />
impossible. But today, most oceanographers avoid the use of vulnerable human divers, preferring to<br />
reduce the risk to human life and make direct obervations by means of instruments that are lowered<br />
into the ocean, from samples take from the water, or from photographs made by orbiting satellites.<br />
Direct observations of the ocean floor can be made not only by divers but also by deep-diving<br />
submarines in the water and even by the technology of sophisticated aerial photgraphy from vantage<br />
points above the surface of more than seven miles and cruise at depths of fifteen thousand feet. In<br />
addition, radio-equipped buoys can be operated by remote control in order to transmit data back to<br />
land-based laboratories via satellite. Particularly important for ocean study are data about water<br />
temperature, currents, and weather. Satellite photographs can show the distribution of sea ice, oil<br />
slicks, and cloud formations over the ocean. Maps created from satellite pictures can represent the<br />
temperature and the color of the ocean’s surface, enabling researchers to study the ocean currents<br />
from laboratories on dry land. Furthermore, computers help oceanographers to collect, organize, and<br />
analyze information from submarines and satellites. By creating a model of the ocean’s movement<br />
and characteristics, scientists can predict the patterns and possible effects of the ocean on the<br />
enviroment.<br />
Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and computers than on research<br />
ships or even submarine vehicles because they can supply a greater range of information more quickly and<br />
more effectively. Some of humankind’s most serious problems, especially those concerning energy and<br />
food, may be solved with the help of observations made possible by this new technology.<br />

Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care.<br />
View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living.<br />
Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between<br />
finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to<br />
find the right one. Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to<br />
where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to consider.<br />
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to<br />
begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies,<br />
and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to<br />
travel ? Do you want to work with children ? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work ?”<br />
There are no right or wrong answers ; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job<br />
features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank<br />
them in order of importance to you.<br />
The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all<br />
day. If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent – that<br />
involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a concern, and<br />
employment in some fields is concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found<br />
only in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail<br />
sales are found in all regions of the country.If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career<br />
by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries;<br />
however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and<br />
commission.<br />
Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive<br />
or negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a<br />
plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have<br />
merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without<br />
sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors. Another point to consider is that as<br />
you get mature, you will likely to develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new<br />
opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your final one.<br />
Câu 43: The author states that “There are no right or wrong answers” in order to _______.<br />
A. emphasize that each person’s answers will be different.<br />
