and I could get hot water to bathe. On Monday, I went with a tour group to visit Borobudur and the Hindu

In economics I had the good fortune to be exposed to two remarkable men: Arthur F. Burn and Homer
Jones. Arthur Burns shapes my understanding of economic research, introduced me to the highest
scientific standards, and became a guiding influence on my subsequent career. Homer Jones introduced
me to rigorous economic theory, made economic exciting and relevant, and encouraged me to go on to
graduate work. On his recommendation, the Chica- go Economics Department offered me a tuition
scholarship. As it happened, I was also offered a scholarship by Brown University in Applied
Mathematics, but, by that time, I had definitely transferred my primary allegiance to economics. In 1976 I
won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for my achievements in the fields of consumption analysis,
monetary history and theory and for my demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy. In 1977,

Bioengineering which is a process in which a set of genes from one plant is a hot topic for debate
days.
Those who are in favor of bioengineering say that bioengineering could lead to big- ger crop yields
and 'new and improve' fruit and make it possible to grow the most desirable crops. In addition, they look
at bioengineering as a high-tech version of cross pollination, which happens naturally with certain types of
plants.
However, those who are against bioengineering say that there may be dangers of genetically altered
food. There is no telling what the long-term effects of bioengineering. Furthermore, they add that because
it is difficult to control cross-pollination when genetically modified crops interbreed with conventional
crops. There is also the risk that some of native or non-modified species would be extinct.
We have no idea how bioengineering would impact not only the people who eat the crops, but also
the wildlife that feeds on them and the environment as a whole.

36. The text is about.....

A. The process of bioengineering
B. The risks of modifying species

The most common causes of tsunamis are underwater earthquakes. To understand underwater
earthquakes, you must first understand plate tectonics. The theory of plate tectonics suggests that the
lithosphere, or top layer of the Earth, is made up a series of huge plates. These plates make up the
continents and seafloor. They rest on an underlying viscous layer called the asthenosphere.
Think of a pie cut into eight slices. The pie crust would be the lithosphere and the hot, sticky pie
filling underneath would be the asthenosphere. On the Earth, these plates are constantly in motion, moving
along each other as most drat a speed of 1 to 2 inches (2.5-5 cm) per year. The movement occurs most
dramatically along fault lines (where the pie is cut). These motions are capable of producing earthquakes
and volcanism, which, when they occur at the bottom of the ocean, are two possible sources of tsunamis.
When two places come into contact at a region known as a plate boundary, a heavier plate can slip
under a lighter one. This is called subduction. Underwater subduction often leaves enormous "handprints"
in the form of deep ocean trenches along the seafloor. In some cases of subduction, part of the seafloor
connected to the lighter plate may "snap up" suddenly due to pressure from the sinking plate. This results
in an earthquake. The focus of the earthquake is the point within the Earth where the rupture first occurs,
rocks break and the first seismic waves are generated. The epicenter is the point on the seafloor directly
above the focus.
When this piece of the plate snaps up and sends tons of rock shooting upward with tremendous
force, the energy of that force is transferred to the water. The energy pushes the water upward above
normal sea level. This is the birth of a tsunami. The earthquake that generated the December 26, 2004
tsunami in the Indian Ocean was 9.0 in the Richter scale-one of the biggest in recorded history.

41. Which of the following best states the topic of this text?
A. the birth of a tsunami
B. the magnitude of tsunamis
C. Tsunamis in the Indian Ocean
D. Series of huge plate on earth

C. Plate tectonics lead to an earthquake and volcanism.
D. Tsunamis in the Indian Ocean are the biggest in the history.
E. Strong movement of undersea fault lines cause tsunamis.
