One of London Zoo’s recent
advertisements caused me some irritation, so patently did it distort reality.
Headlined "Without zoos you might as well tell these animals to get stuffed", it
was bordered with illustrations of several endangered species and went on to
extol the myth that without zoos like London Zoo these animals "will almost
certainly disappear forever". With the zoo world’s rather mediocre record on
conservation, one might be forgiven for being slightly skeptical about such an
advertisement. Zoos were originally created as places of
entertainment, and their suggested involvement with conservation didn’t
seriously arise until about 30 years ago, when the Zoological Society of London
held the first formal international meeting on the subject. Eight years later, a
series of world conferences took place, entitled "The Breeding of Endangered A. (A) London Zoo’s advertisements are dishonest. B. (B) Zoos made an insignificant contribution to conservation up until 30 years ago. C. (C) No one knew how the animals were being treated at Robin Hill Adventure Park. D. (D) The number of successful zoo conservation programmes is unsatisfactory.

In recent years, one of the more popular topics for panel discussions at computer conferences and trade (61) has been the "RISC versus CISC" debate.
RISC processors feature a small number of instructions that each executes in (62) machine cycle. CISC processors use complex instructions that can take several cycles to execute.
The RISC versus CISC debate won’t be decided by panel discussion; it will be won in the marketplace. And the deciding factor may have little to do with (63) of instructions and registers and more to do with parallelism.
Since their conception, RISC processors have been evolving toward micro parallelism, incorporating parallel-processing features (64) the processor, RISC processors feature pipelining, whereby many instructions can be decoded while one instruction executes. RISC processors, however, are moving toward pipelines for each unit of the processor.
CISC processors also employ A. union B. twoC.numbers C. between D. limit E. contents F. shows G. one H. within I. enhance

In a recent book entitled The Psychic
Life of Insects, Professor Bouvier says that we must be careful not to credit
the little winged fellows with intelligence when they behave in what seems like
an intelligent manner. They may be only reacting. I would like to confront the
professor with an instance of reasoning power on the part of an insect which
cannot be explained away in any other manner. During the summer
of 1899, while I was at work on my doctoral thesis, we kept a female wasp at our
cottage. It was more like a child of our own than a Wasp, except that it looked
more like a wasp than a child of our own. That was one of the ways we told the
difference. It was still a young wasp when we got it (thirteen
or fourteen years old) and for some time we could not get it to eat or drink, it
was so shy. Since it was a femal A. do not have intelligence B. behave in an intelligent way C. are capable of reasoning D. are more intelligent than we thought
