FOOD CHAINS

Originally, the idea of a "food chain" was developed by a scientist named Charles Elton in 1927. Elton described a general food chain in terms of where plantsand animals get their energy. He started with plants, which get energy from sunlight. Next, plant-eating animals get their energy from eating other plants. At the next level of the chain, meat-eating animals get their energy from eating other animals. Elton's idea of a "chain" related to the concept that all these animals are linked together by what they eat. Anything that affects one part of the chain affects all of the other parts in the chain. The first part of the chain, plants, is called the producer. All of the parts of the chain above the producer are called consumers.

Here is a simple example of a food chain. Grass uses sunlight to produce sugars and proteins so that it can grow. Rabbits eat the grass and get energy from it. Foxes eat rabbits and get energy from them. Foxes are at the "top" of this food chain because nothing eats them. Now imagine that a farmer plows up the field of grass where the rabbits usually eat. Some of the rabbits might die. Others will probably move to another location to find food. In either case, there are fewer rabbits. This means less food for the foxes. Thus, the foxes depend on the grass in a way, even though they don't eat the grass directly.

A In the natural world, of course, there are no simple food chains like this. Rabbits eat lots of plants besides grass. B Foxes eat lots of things besides rabbits. C Additionally, there are lots of other things in nature that eat grass and rabbits! D

However, that does not mean the idea of a simple food chain is not important. Food chains are still a useful concept to consider, even if they are an oversimplification of reality. Take, for example, the case of DDT’s effect on animals. In the 1960s, DDT, a common pesticide at that time, was used a lot by farmers. Farmers only used a little at a time, so large animals were not harmed. However, once DDT was used in a field, it did not go away. Whenever it was used, DDT just stayed in the environment. Eventually, rain washed it into rivers and lakes. Plankton, a tiny water organism, absorbed the DDT. Then, fish ate the plankton. There was not much DDT in one bit of plankton, but small fish consumed many little bits of plankton. Then, larger fish ate lots of the smaller fish. So, the concentration of DDT in the larger fish became higher. Then, birds such as the osprey ate larger quatities of the larger fish.

In the end, compared to the concentration of DDT in plankton, the concentration of DDT in osprey was 10 million times greater! The DDT did not kill the osprey, though. It just made the female osprey lay eggs with very thin shells. The shells were so thin that when the mother sat on the eggs, they broke. Thus the osprey population became greatly reduced before rebounding to today’s levels.

Question 31: According to the passage, which of the following is true about Elton's idea of food chains?

A. He only looked at plants and animals near his home.

B. Other scientists at the time rejected Elton's idea.

C. The chains started with plants.

D. They measured the energy stored in food.

Question 32: As used in paragraph 2, what is the meaning of the word "field"?

A. A piece of land for plants

B. An area of study

C. A place for playing games

D. A region that is visible

Question 33: What does "others" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. farmers                   B. food chains

C. foxes                      D. rabbits

Question 34: In paragraph 3, what does the author imply?

A. Animals that do not eat other animals

B. How simple food chains are limited

C. The relationship of rabbits and foxes

D. Ways to teach food chains to children

Question 35: Why does the author mention DDT in reference to food chains?

A. To compare this chemical's effect on producers and consumers

B. To explain why consumers sometimes become extinct

C. To illustrate the true complexity of nature

D. To show how the simple concept of food chains could be useful

Question 36: Why did large fish in rivers and lakes have high concentrations of DDT in their bodies?

A.  The large fish ate small fish with DDT in them

B. The large fish laid eggs in plankton with DDT in it

C. The large fish naturally produced DDT

D. The large fish swam in water with DDT in it

Question 37: Where would the following sentence best fit in the paragraph 3?

Therefore, when trying to describe the real world, it is more appropriate to think of food webs rather than food chains.

A. A                            B. B 

C. C                            D. D

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

Shyness may not seem to be a serious complaint, but for some who suffer from it, it can become unbearable. Even talking to a small group of people you know can seem like an ordeal- it can feel as if you’ve been asked to give a speech on a topic you know very little about to a number of experts. You start to feel hot and shaky, your heart beats faster, your knees feel weak, you begin to stutter and the whole experience seems to last forever.

The fact of the matter is that shyness is something we often recognize in others: blushing is one of the more visible signs, for example. Yet we don’t judge someone harshly because of this. But shyness does mean that you are harder to approach, so you become more isolated. As one shy person put it, “It’s like being in a prison, and it’s very hard to break out.”

Experts on the subject have come up with various possible solutions, and one has been singled out as being the key to success- namely, finding an interest in common with the other people. Spending a lot of time on the sidelines watching other people and envying them because they are much more outgoing doesn’t help; remembering that some of those people you most envy are probably shy themselves, does. The secret is how you deal with it. And experts have come up with four things you can do today to help. Firstly, you can start by listening to other people. You will find yourself getting interested in what they’re talking about and asking questions- and before you know it, you’ll be having a conversation.

Secondly, you could try asking neighbors if you can walk their dog. Like children, pets can be excellent icebreakers for conversations with passers-by. Thirdly, try joining a class to learn something like tap-dancing or flamenco, where people are likely to laugh a lot. You’ll feel relaxed, and also you’ll be much too busy concentrating on what you are doing to feel shy. Lastly, try telling yourself that it doesn’t matter if you say or do something silly. Most people make a fool of themselves every so often- and it’s not the end of the world if you do!

Question 43: One of the symptoms of shyness in a stressful situation is ________.

A. pain in the knees 

B. an increasedheart rate

A. Their social unease makes them more difficult to talk to.

B. They see that others are shy too.

C. Other people lack the patience to talk to them.

D. They dread being judged by others.

Question 45: The word “blushing” in paragraph 2 is closet meaning to _______.

A. going green            B. going red 

C. smiling                    D. sweating

Question 46: What do experts believe is the essential measure to be taken?

A. Studying others’ behavior in social situations.

B. Discovering shared interests with others.

C. Comparing yourself to other people.

D. Finding out what makes other people shy.

Question 47: How can listening to others prove helpful in combating shyness?

A. You develop useful psychological skills.

B. It’s the first step to getting into conversation.

C. People will see you care about their interest.

D. It’s a visible sign of becoming less shy.

B. raise the reader’s interest in shyness as a social problem.

C. present recent findings about the nature of shyness.
