Read the text below and choose the best answer (A, B, C, or D).

The adage that “a woman’s place is in the home” no longer applies to the dauntless ladies in space. The first woman in space was a Soviet who orbited the earth with a male companion in 1963 and landed unscathed after a three-day sojourn aboard a spacecraft. Seemingly, it was inevitable that another Soviet woman would repeat her feat. The second woman in space was Svetlana Savitskaya, a parachutist and test pilot, who served as researcher aboard Soviet Soyuz T-7, which had a rendezvous with Salyut 7, the space station in which the longest manned orbital flight was completed.

Ms. Savitskaya’s aptitude for space travel was patent in her past experience in aviation. Holder of several women’s records in aviation, she had flown sundry types of aircraft and made over 500 parachute jumps. Her father was a Soviet Air Force Marshal, and her husband a pilot. Without a qualm she boarded the spacecraft with her commander, Lieutenant Colonel Leonid Popov, and another rookie astronaut who was the flight engineer.

Soviet authorities announced that they were looking forward to gaining further information about “weaker sex” , so-called in the Soviet newspaper Tass, under the stressful conditions of space travel. Sex, however, is not considered n impediment but rather a benefit in space, for the Soviet have lauded women for their precision and accuracy in carrying out experiments.

As planned, the American put their first woman in space in mid-1983. Sally Ride was their choice. Ms. Ride joined the NASA program with five other women and thirty men to train as astronauts in the space shuttle program. She faces an epoch when space travel will no longer be a glamorous adventure but rather a commonplace day’s work.

Read the passage and choose the best answer from the four options marked A, B, C or D in the following questions. Identify your answer by writing the corresponding letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet. (1 pts)

Birds that feed in flocks commonly retire together into roosts. The reasons for roosting communally are not always obvious, but there are some likely benefits. In winter especially, it is important for birds to keep warm at night and conserve precious food reserves. One way to do this is to find a sheltered roost. Solitary roosters shelter in dense vegetation or enter a cavity – horned larks dig holes in the ground and ptarmigan burrow into snow banks – but the effect of sheltering is magnified by several birds huddling together in the roosts, as wrens, swifts, brown creepers, bluebirds, and anis do. Body contact reduces the surface area exposed to the cold air, so the birds keep each other warm. Two kinglets huddling together were found to reduce their heat losses by a quarter, and three together saved a third of their heat.

The second possible benefit of communal roosts is that they act as "information centers." During the day, parties of birds will have spread out to forage over a very large area. When they return in the evening some will have fed well, but others may have found little to eat. Some investigators have observed that when the birds set out again next morning, those birds that did not feed well on the previous day appear to follow those that did. The behavior of common and lesser kestrels may illustrate different feeding behaviors of similar birds with different roosting habits. The common kestrel hunts vertebrate animals in a small, familiar hunting ground, whereas the very similar lesser kestrel feeds on insects over a large area. The common kestrel roosts and hunts alone, but the lesser kestrel roosts and hunts in flocks, possibly so one bird can learn from others where to find insect swarms.

Finally, there is safety in numbers at communal roosts since there will always be a few birds awake at any given moment to give the alarm. But this increased protection is partially counteracted by the fact that mass roosts attract predators and are especially vulnerable if they are on the ground. Even those in trees can be attacked by birds of prey. The birds on the edge are at greatest risk since predators find it easier to catch small birds perching at the margins of the roost.
