CAN NOISE POLLUTION AFFECT WILDLIFE?
 There's no escaping noise pollution, even if you're out in the middle of nowhere. The roar of the trucks on the highway or the sound of a plane flying overhead can penetrate the deepest forest; yet it is not only humans that are bothered by the noise.
 Bioacoustician Bernie Krause has been studying the effects of noise pollution on wildlife, and has discovered some interesting behaviour, especially among animals that communicate by vocalization, like humans do. Birds, frogs, and insects use sound to attract mates, defend territory, and alert their kin to danger, but in noisy places, these animals have to shout over the din to be heard.
 Krause cites a study of nightingales carried out in Berlin in 2002 to illustrate his point. The birds responded to traffic noise by singing louder and louder until they actually exceeded noise pollution standards in the city. In order to belt out their songs, they had to increase their lung pressure fivefold, but scientists maintain that this is not dangerous for the birds themselves.
 Studies show that sudden loud noises can cause some bird species to leave their nests, exposing the young to predators. One study also showed that songbirds that nested closer to busy highways produced fewer young than those that nested farther away. Mammals, too, are affected. A 1992 study showed that nursing caribou respond to plane noise by not producing enough milk to nourish their young.
 Some animals, such as whales and dolphins, are affected by underwater noise. Sonar from ships, motors from boats, and machine sounds from oil exploration create so much noise underwater that breeding whales need to make more noise to compensate so they can communicate with their offspring.
 In some cases noise pollution can actually help some animals while harming others. Toads and frogs are known to vocalize in synchrony so that no predator can zero in on them. Krause found that when planes flew overhead and masked the toads' songs, they lost their synchronicity, and it took them 45 minutes to get it back again. That gave Great Horned Owls and coyotes plenty of time to locate individual toads by sound.
 A hundred years ago noise pollution was mainly an urban problem, but it has spread with the advent of the internal combustion engine. Krause concludes, "Not only will noise pollution in natural habitats bother wildlife, but it won't help our lives either."
Question 30: According to the article, the main source of noise pollution is......
A. construction work	B. cities	C. tourism	D. vehicle motors
Question 31: The Berlin nightingales sang louder.....
A. by synchronizing their singing.	B. by standing on higher perches.
C. by imitating the noise of the cars.	D. by using their organs to a greater capacity.
Question 32: Young caribou suffer from aircraft noise because.....
A. their mothers often abandon them.	B. they receive less food.
C. they can’t communicate with their mothers.	D. they can’t sleep at night.
Question 33: Toads and frogs become more vulnerable when.....
A. they sing at a different pitch.	B. they sing for longer periods of time.
C. they fail to sing in unison.	D. they sing louder than usual.
Question 34: Whales and dolphins deal with underwater noise.....
A. by producing more offspring.	B. by emitting louder sounds.
C. by keeping away from boats and ships.	D. by communicating less with each other.
Question 35: Birds, frogs, and insects do not use their voices.....

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 37 to 43.
MAKING A LIVING
 It is my opinion that literature is at the same time and at once the most intimate and the most articulate of all the art forms. It is impossible for it to impart its effect through the senses or the nerves as can other forms of art; it is beautiful only through the intelligence of both the reader and writer; it is the mind speaking to the mind; until it has been put into absolute terms, of an invariable significance, it does not exist at all. It is able to awaken one emotion in one person and a totally different emotion in another; if it fails to convey precisely the meaning of the author, if it isn't an expression of him or her, it says nothing, and thus it is nothing. So that when a poet has put their heart and soul, more or less, into a poem, and has sold it to a magazine, the scandal is far greater than when a painter has sold a picture to a paying patron, or a sculptor has modelled a statue to order, or a photographer has produced a landscape photograph for a popular magazine. These are artists less articulate and less intimate than the scribe; they are more removed from the work they produce; they are often less personally involved in their work; they part with less of themselves.
 That Tennyson, Longfellow and Emerson sold their poems and essays - works in which they had couched the most mystical messages their genius was charged to bequeath to mankind - does not, however, diminish the virtuosity of their achievements. They submitted to the conditions from which no one can escape, which are nonetheless the conditions of hucksters because they are generally imposed upon poets and writers. If it will serve to make my meaning clearer, we will suppose that a poet has been crossed in love, or has suffered some bad fortune or some real sorrow, like the loss of a wife or child. He pours out his broken heart in verse that shall bring tears of scared sympathy from his readers, and an editor pays him a hundred pounds for the right of bringing his verse to their notice and for allowing them to print it in their publications. It is perfectly true that the real reason that the poem was written was not for the monetary benefit, but it is also perfectly true that it was sold for it. The poet is forced into using his emotions to pay his bills; he has no other means of making a living; society does not propose to pay his bills for him, after all, so what choice does he really have? Yet, at the end of the day, the unsophisticated witness finds the transaction ridiculous, repulsive, and, to a great extent, exploitative. But deep down they are perfectly aware that if our huckster civilisation did not at every moment violate the relationships we undertake in the world, the poet's song wouldn't have been given to it, and the scribe wouldn't have been extolled by the whole of humanity, as any human should be who does the duty that every human owes it.
 The instinctive sense of the dishonour which money brings to art is so strong that sometimes men and women of letters able to pay their bills, to pay their way through other means, refuse money for their work, as Lord Byron did, from a noble conscience. But Byron's publisher profited from a generosity which did not reach his readers; and the Countess Tolstoy collects the copyright royalties which her husband forgoes; so that these two instances of protest against business in literature may hardly be said to have shaken the world of commerce in literature to the core of its money basis. I know of no others but there may be many that exist of whom I am culpably ignorant. Still, I would very much doubt if there are enough to affect the fact that literature has become business as well as art. At present, business is the only human solidarity; we are all bound together with that chain, whatever the interests, tastes and principles that otherwise separate us.
