a. Most of his work has been destroyed.
b. He employed a wide range of colors
c. He disdained color.
d. He rejected whatever was considered innovative.
Read the text and answer the question.
An example of a bizarre occurrence regarding a species
of frog dates from the summer of 1995, when 'an explosion' of multi-coloured
frogs of the species Rana klepton esculenta occurred in the Netherlands.
Normally these frogs are brown and greenish-brown, but some unknown
contributory factor is turning these frogs yellow and/or orange. Nonetheless,
so far, the unusual bi- and even tri-coloured frogs are functioning similarly
to their normal-skinned contemporaries. It is thought that frogs with lighter
coloured skins might be more likely to survive in an increasingly warm climate
due to global warming.
What is best heading for the paragraph?

a. The mystery of amphibian decline.

You are aware that the enzyme hunters have been replaced
by a new breed of hunters who are tracking genes-the blueprints for each of the
enzymes-and are discovering the defective genes that cause inherited
diseases-diabetes, cystic fibrosis. These gene hunters, or genetic engineers,
use recombinant DNA technology to identify and clone genes and introduce them
into bacterial cells and plants to create factories for the massive production
of hormones and vaccines for medicine and for better crops for agriculture.
Biotechnology has become a multibillion-dollar industry.

The World Wide Web, an enormous collection of Internet
addresses or sites, all of which can be accessed for information, has been
mainly responsible for the increase in interest in the Internet in the 1990s.
Before the World Wide Web, the 'Net' was comparable to an integrated collection
of computerised typewriters, but the introduction of the 'Web' in 1990 allowed
not only text links to be made but also graphs, images and even video. A Web
site consists of a 'home page', the first screen of a particular site on the
computer to which you are connected, from where access can be had to other
subject related 'pages' at the site and to thousands of other computers all
over the world. This is achieved by a process called 'hypertext'. By clicking
with a mouse device on various parts of the screen, a person connected to the
'Net' can go travelling, or 'surfing' through a web of pages to locate whatever

Almost everyone with or without a computer is aware of
the latest technological revolution destined to change forever the way in which
humans communicate, namely, the Information Superhighway, best exemplified by
the ubiquitous Internet. Already, millions of people around the world are
linked by computer simply by having a modem and an address on the 'Net', in
much the same way that owning a telephone links us to almost anyone who pays a
phone bill. In fact, since the computer connections are made via the phone
line, the Internet can be envisaged as a network of visual telephone links. It
remains to be seen in which direction the Information Superhighway is headed,
but many believe it is the educational hope of the future.

The first two decades of this century were dominated
by the microbe hunters. These hunters had tracked down one after another of the
microbes responsible for the most dreaded scourges of many centuries:
tuberculosis, cholera, diphtheria. But there remained some terrible diseases
for which no microbe could be incriminated: scurvy, pellagra, rickets,
beriberi. Then it was discovered that these diseases were caused by the lack of
vitamins, a trace substance in the diet. The diseases could be prevented or
cured by consuming foods that contained the vitamins. And so in the decades of
the 1920's and 1930's, nutrition became a science and the vitamin hunters
replaced the microbe hunters.
In the 1940's and 1950's, biochemists strived to learn
why each of the vitamins was essential for health. They discovered that key
enzymes in metabolism depend on one or another of the vitamins as coenzymes to
perform the chemistry that provides cells with energy for growth and function.
Now, these enzyme hunters occupied center stage.
You are aware that the enzyme hunters have been
replaced by a new breed of hunters who are tracking genes-the blueprints for
each of the enzymes-and are discovering the defective genes that cause
inherited diseases-diabetes, cystic fibrosis. These gene hunters, or genetic
engineers, use recombinant DNA technology to identify and clone genes and
introduce them into bacterial cells and plants to create factories for the
massive production of hormones and vaccines for medicine and for better crops
for agriculture. Biotechnology has become a multibillion-dollar industry.
In view of the inexorable progress in science, we can
expect that the gene hunters will be replaced in the spotlight. When and by
whom? Which kind of hunter will dominate the scene in the last decade of our
waning century and in the early decades of the next? I wonder whether the
hunters who will occupy the spotlight will be neurobiologists who apply the
techniques of the enzyme and gene hunters to the functions of the brain. What
to call them? The head hunters. I will return to them later.

As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest,
the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe — sun-baked
brick plastered with mud. Their homes looked remarkably like modem apartment
houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a
thousand people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods. These
buildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier
and for defense against enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as
later Spanish explorers must have realized since they called them “pueblos,”
which is Spanish for towns.
The people of the pueblos raised what are called “the
three sisters” — corns, beans, and squash. They made excellent pottery and wove
marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water. The Southwest has
always been a dry country, where water is scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought
water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches.
Water was so important that it played a major role in their religion. They
developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain.

and the great whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called
igloos built of blocks of packed snow. When summer came, they fished for salmon
and hunted the lordly caribou.

Rock Band
Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben, asked us for
a set of drums for his birthday. At first, we were very much against the idea
because of the noise. ‘It’s better than watching television or playing computer
games in my free time,’ Ben argued, ‘and it’ll keep me out of trouble.’
In the end we gave in. ‘All right,’ we said, ‘but you
must consider the rest of the family and the neighbours when you play.’
That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the
easiest instruments to transport, the other members of Ben’s band started
appearing at our home with their guitars and other electrical equipment. And
so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their instruments
and their teenage singing.
At least Ben’s hobby has been good for our health:
whenever the band start practising, my husband and I go out for a long walk.
And I must admit that, although their music may sound a little strange, they

One theory put forward to explain extinct amphibian
species that seems to fit the facts concerns the depletion of the ozone layer,
a well-documented phenomenon which has led to a sharp increase in ultraviolet
radiation levels. The ozone layer is meant to shield the Earth from UV rays,
but increased radiation may be having a greater effect upon frog populations
than previously believed. Another theory is that worldwide temperature
increases are upsetting the breeding cycles of frogs.

Rock Band
Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben, asked us for
a set of drums for his birthday. At first, we were very much against the idea
because of the noise. ‘It’s better than watching television or playing computer
games in my free time,’ Ben argued, ‘and it’ll keep me out of trouble.’
In the end we gave in. ‘All right,’ we said, ‘but you
must consider the rest of the family and the neighbours when you play.’
That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the
easiest instruments to transport, the other members of Ben’s band started
appearing at our home with their guitars and other electrical equipment. And
so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their
instruments and their teenage singing.
At least Ben’s hobby has been good for our health:
whenever the band start practising, my husband and I go out for a long walk.
And I must admit that, although their music may sound a little strange, they
are a friendly and polite group of young men. I cannot judge their musical
skill - after all I didn’t expect my parents’ generation to like the same music
as I did when I was a teenager - but they do play regularly in local clubs for
young people.
Our main worry is that they won’t spend enough time on

As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest,
the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe — sun-baked
brick plastered with mud. Their homes looked remarkably like modem apartment
houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a
thousand people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods. These
buildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier
and for defense against enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as
later Spanish explorers must have realized since they called them “pueblos,”
which is Spanish for towns.
The people of the pueblos raised what are called “the
three sisters” — corns, beans, and squash. They made excellent pottery and wove
marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water. The Southwest has
always been a dry country, where water is scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought
water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches.
Water was so important that it played a major role in their religion. They
developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain.
The way of life of less-settled groups was simpler and
more strongly influenced by nature. Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute
wandered the dry and mountainous lands between the Rocky Mountains and the
Pacific Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small animals such as rabbits and
snakes. In the Far North the ancestors of today’s Inuit hunted seals, walnises,
and the great whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called
igloos built of blocks of packed snow. When summer came, they fished for salmon
and hunted the lordly caribou.
The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the
Plains Indians, lived on the grasslands between the Rocky Mountains and the
Mississippi River. They hunted bison, commonly called the buffalo. Its meat was
the chief food of these tribes, and its hide was used to make their clothing
and the covering of their tents and tipis.

The first two decades of this century were dominated
by the microbe hunters. These hunters had tracked down one after another of the
microbes responsible for the most dreaded scourges of many centuries:
tuberculosis, cholera, diphtheria. But there remained some terrible diseases
for which no microbe could be incriminated: scurvy, pellagra, rickets,
beriberi. Then it was discovered that these diseases were caused by the lack of
vitamins, a trace substance in the diet. The diseases could be prevented or
cured by consuming foods that contained the vitamins. And so in the decades of
the 1920's and 1930's, nutrition became a science and the vitamin hunters
replaced the microbe hunters.

This frightening scenario is in part the consequence
of a dramatic increase over the last quarter century in the development of once
natural areas of wet marshland; home not only to frogs but to all manner of
wildlife. Yet, there are no obvious reasons why certain frog species are
disappearing from rainforests in the Southern Hemisphere which are barely
touched by human hand. The mystery is unsett1ing to say the least, for it is
known that amphibian species are extremely sensitive to environmental
variations in temperature and moisture levels. The danger is that planet Earth
might not only lose a vital link in the ecological food chain (frogs keep
populations of otherwise pestilent insects at manageable levels), but we might
be increasing our output of air pollutants to levels that may have already
become irreversible. Frogs could be inadvertently warning us of a catastrophe.
