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

Millions of people tune into the weather forecast each evening on television. Most of them imagine that the presenter does little more than arrive at the studio a few minutes before the broadcast, read the weather, and then go home. In fact, this image is far from the truth. The two-minute bulletin which we all rely on when we need to know tomorrow's weather is the result of a hard day's work by the presenter, who is actually a highlyqualified meteorologist. Every morning after arriving at the TV studios, the first task of the day is to collect the latest data from the National Meteorological Office. This office provides up-to-the-minute information about weather conditions throughout the day, both in Britain and around the world. The information is very detailed and includes predictions, satellite and radar pictures, as well as more technical data. After gathering all the relevant material from this office, the forecaster has to translate the scientific terminology and maps into images and words which viewers can easily understand. The final broadcast is then carefully planned. It is prepared in the same way as other programmes. The presenter decides what to say and in what order to say it. Next a "story board" is drawn up which lays out the script word for word. What makes a weather fore-cast more complicated than other programmes are the maps and electronic images which are required. The computer has to be programmed so that the pictures appear in the cor-rect order during the bulletin.

The time allocated for each broadcast can also alter. This is because the weather re-port is screened after the news, which can vary in length. The weather forecaster doesn't always know how much time is available, which means that he/she has to be thoroughly prepared so that the material can be adapted to the time available. Another related complication is that the weather forecast has to be a live broadcast; it cannot be pre-recorded. Live shows are very nerve-racking for the presenter because almost anything can go wrong. Perhaps the most worrying aspect for every weather fore-caster is getting the following day's predictions wrong. Unfortunately for them, this is not an unusual occurrence; the weather is not always possible to predict accurately. The weather is a national obsession in Britain, perhaps because it is so changeable. It’s the national talking point, and most people watch at least one day bulletin. It can be mortifying for a weather man or woman who has predicted rain for the morning to wake up to brilliant sunshine. This day, a weather forecaster’s job is even more complicated because they are relied upon to predict other environmental conditions. For example, in the summer the weather forecast has to include reports on ultraviolet radiation intensity to help people avoid sunburn. The job of a weather forecaster is certainly far more complicated than just pointing at a map and describing weather conditions. It's a job for professionals who can cope with stressful and demanding conditions.

Nowadays, weather forecasters have to

A. do experiments to determine the pollen count.

B. simply point at map and describe weather conditions

C. cope with professionals.

D. be able to cope under pressure

Dịch bài đọc:

Hàng triệu người xem dự báo thời tiết mỗi tối trên truyền hình. Hầu hết họ tưởng rằng người dẫn chương trình làm rất ít, chỉ đến phòng thu một vài phút trước khi phát sóng, đọc thời tiết, và sau đó về nhà. Thực tế, việc này không đúng sự thật. Bản tin 2 phút mà tất cả chúng ta đều dựa vào khi chúng ta cần biết thời tiết ngày mai là kết quả của một ngày làm việc bận rộn bởi người dẫn chương trình, người thực sự là một nhà khí tượng học có trình độ cao. Mỗi buổi sáng sau khi đến phòng thu truyền hình, nhiệm vụ đầu tiên của ngày là thu thập dữ liệu mới nhất từ Cục Khí tượng Quốc gia. Văn phòng này cung cấp thông tin cập nhật về điều kiện thời tiết trong ngày, cả ở Anh và trên toàn thế giới. Thông tin rất chi tiết và bao gồm các dự đoán, hình ảnh vệ tinh và radar, cũng như các dữ liệu kỹ thuật khác. Sau khi thu thập tất cả các tài liệu liên quan từ văn phòng này, người dự báo phải dịch các thuật ngữ khoa học và bản đồ thành hình ảnh và từ ngữ mà người xem có thể dễ dàng hiểu được. Chương trình phát sóng cuối cùng được lên kế hoạch cẩn thận. Nó được chuẩn bị theo cách giống như các chương trình khác. Người thuyết trình quyết định phải nói gì và nói theo thứ tự nào. Tiếp theo là một "bảng câu chuyện" được soạn thảo để đưa ra kịch bản từng từ một. Điều làm cho dự báo thời tiết phức tạp hơn các chương trình khác là bản đồ và hình ảnh điện tử được yêu cầu. Máy tính phải được lập trình để các hình ảnh xuất hiện theo đúng thứ tự trong bản tin.

Thời gian dành cho mỗi chương trình phát sóng cũng có thể thay đổi. Điều này là do báo cáo thời tiết được phát sóng sau tin tức - có thể thay đổi về chiều dài. Người dự báo thời tiết không phải lúc nào cũng biết có bao nhiêu thời gian, có nghĩa là người đó phải được chuẩn bị kỹ lưỡng để tư liệu có thể được điều chỉnh theo thời gian sẵn có. Một rắc rối liên quan khác là dự báo thời tiết phải phát sóng trực tiếp; nó không thể được ghi lại trước. Các chương trình trực tiếp rất gây căng thẳng người dẫn chương trình bởi vì hầu hết mọi thứ có thể sai. Có lẽ khía cạnh đáng lo nhất đối với mỗi người dự báo thời tiết là dự đoán sai về ngày hôm sau. Thật không may cho họ, đây không phải là một điều bất thường; thời tiết không phải lúc nào cũng có thể dự đoán một cách chính xác. Thời tiết là nỗi ám ảnh quốc gia ở Anh, có lẽ vì nó có thể thay đổi. Đó là chủ đề nói chuyện quốc gia, và hầu hết mọi người xem ít nhất một bản tin ngày. Nó có thể làm cho một người dự báo thời tiết dự đoán mưa vào buổi sáng thức dậy với ánh nắng rực rỡ.

Ngày nay, công việc dự báo thời tiết phức tạp hơn bởi vì họ dựa vào để dự đoán các điều kiện môi trường khác. Ví dụ, vào mùa hè, dự báo thời tiết phải bao gồm các báo cáo về cường độ bức xạ tia cực tím để giúp mọi người tránh bị cháy nắng. Công việc của một người dự báo thời tiết chắc chắn là phức tạp hơn rất nhiều so với việc chỉ vào một tấm bản đồ và mô tả các điều kiện thời tiết. Đó là một công việc dành cho các chuyên gia, những người có thể chịu được môi trường làm việc căng thẳng và đòi hỏi.

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.

There is a wide range of organisms by their population whose lives mostly depend on how they hunt or are hunted. And most living organisms have some way of protecting themselves from natural predators. Some mammals, like the platypus, carry internal toxins to transmit to predators via biting or other means, and some plants protect themselves by being poisonous. The African crested rat was originally thought to be poisonous because predators that tried to eat it often became paralyzed. But scientists have recently learned that's not actually the case.

 The crested rat chews on the poisonous bark of a certain tree, and then smears the chewed-up substance onto its fur, where a strip of special quill-like hairs soaks up the poisonous mixture. Though similar to a porcupine's, the quills do differ: whereas the porcupine defends itself by poking predators, the African rat uses its quill-like hairs to deliver poison to them. When a predator comes after it, instead of running away, the rat stays put and parts its hair to reveal the strip of fur on its back where the poison is being stored. That raised strip is the first thing that receives a bite, and the poison inside disables the predator. These hair tubes are unusual. In fact, scientists do not know of another animal that uses plant poison in this way.

Scientists are puzzled that the rat doesn't appear to be affected by the poison. Because it affects heartbeat regulation, understanding how the rat can keep its heart rate regulated effectively while using the poison could help scientists develop new medicines for people with heart trouble. And they hope that those suffering from heart diseases will benefit from this.
