VII. Read the passage and the quetions or unfinished sentences. Then choose the answer A, B, 
C, or D that you think fits best 
 All mammals feed their young. Beluga whale mothers, for example, nurse their calves for some 
twenty months, until they are about to give birth again and their young are able to find their own food. 
The behavior of feeding of the young is built into the reproductive system. It is a nonelective part of 
 Trang 4/7 
parental care and the defining feature of a mammal, the most important thing that mammals-- whether 
marsupials, platypuses, spiny anteaters, or placental mammals -- have in common. 
 But not all animal parents, even those that tend their offspring to the point of hatching or birth, 
feed their young. Most egg-guarding fish do not, for the simple reason that their young are so much 
smaller than the parents and eat food that is also much smaller than the food eaten by adults. In 
reptiles, the crocodile mother protects her young after they have hatched and takes them down to the 
water, where they will find food, but she does not actually feed them. Few insects feed their young 
after hatching, but some make other arrangement, provisioning their cells and nests with caterpillars 
and spiders that they have paralyzed with their venom and stored in a state of suspended animation so 
that their larvae might have a supply of fresh food when they hatch. 
 For animals other than mammals, then, feeding is not intrinsic to parental care. Animals add it 
to their reproductive strategies to give them an edge in their lifelong quest for descendants. The most 
vulnerable moment in any animal's life is when it first finds itself completely on its own, when it must 
forage and fend for itself. Feeding postpones that moment until a young animal has grown to such a 
size that it is better able to cope. Young that are fed by their parents become nutritionally independent 
at a much greater fraction of their full adult size. And in the meantime those young are shielded 
against the vagaries of fluctuating of difficult-to-find supplies. Once a species does take the step of 
feeding its young, the young become totally dependent on the extra effort. If both parents are 
removed, the young generally do no survive. 
51. What does the passage mainly discuss?

 A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker. The first is the 
broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, 
communicating with a group or an individual, and specialized communication through performance. A 
person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or 
unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech 
rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of 
 Trang 6/7 
the utterance. When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate unsureness or fright, 
confidence or calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and 
above the words chosen, or may belie them. Here the conversant's tone can consciously or 
unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, 
enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually discernible by the acute listener. Public 
performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for 
obtaining effects by voice and /or (gesture. The motivation derived from the text, and in the case of 
singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability to create 
empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication. 
 Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others,and 
emotional health. Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, 
aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a 
clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident 
front. How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given 
conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the 
speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by 
constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed.
