Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned vehicles, along with breakthroughs in
satellite technology and computer equipment, have overcome some of the limitations of divers and
diving equipment for scientists doing research on the great oceans of the world. Without a vehicle,
Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 209
divers often became sluggish, and their mental concentration was severely limited. Because undersea
pressure affects their speech organs, communication among divers has always been difficult or
impossible. But today, most oceanographers avoid the use of vulnerable human divers, preferring to
reduce the risk to human life and make direct obervations by means of instruments that are lowered
into the ocean, from samples take from the water, or from photographs made by orbiting satellites.
Direct observations of the ocean floor can be made not only by divers but also by deep-diving
submarines in the water and even by the technology of sophisticated aerial photgraphy from vantage
points above the surface of more than seven miles and cruise at depths of fifteen thousand feet. In
addition, radio-equipped buoys can be operated by remote control in order to transmit data back to
land-based laboratories via satellite. Particularly important for ocean study are data about water
temperature, currents, and weather. Satellite photographs can show the distribution of sea ice, oil
slicks, and cloud formations over the ocean. Maps created from satellite pictures can represent the
temperature and the color of the ocean’s surface, enabling researchers to study the ocean currents
from laboratories on dry land. Furthermore, computers help oceanographers to collect, organize, and
analyze information from submarines and satellites. By creating a model of the ocean’s movement
and characteristics, scientists can predict the patterns and possible effects of the ocean on the
enviroment.
Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and computers than on research
ships or even submarine vehicles because they can supply a greater range of information more quickly and
more effectively. Some of humankind’s most serious problems, especially those concerning energy and
food, may be solved with the help of observations made possible by this new technology.
Câu 36: With what topic is the passage primarily converned? B. Communication among drivers. A. Direct observation of the ocean floor. C. Technological advances in oceanography. D. Undersea vehicles.

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