IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.

Cooperation is the common endeavor of two more people to perform a task of reach a
jointly cherished goad. Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation,
based on group organization and attitudes. In this form, known as primary cooperation, group and
individual fuse. The group contains nearly all of each individual's life. The rewards of the
group's work are share with each number. There is an interlocking identity of individual, group,
and task performed. Means and goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued.
 VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

     While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterate societies, secondary
cooperation is characteristic of many modern societies. In secondary cooperation, individuals
devote only part of their lives to the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most member of the
group fell loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration. Members perform
tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary,
prestige, or power. Business offices and professional athletic teams are example of secondary
cooperation. In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict
underlies the share work. The attitudes of the cooperation parties are purely opportunistic; the
organization is loose and fragile. Accommodation involve common means cease to aid achieve
antagonistic goals; it breaks when the common means cease to aid each party in reaching its
goals. This is not, strictly speaking, cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory

X. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.

For 150 years scientists have tried to determine the solar constant, the amount of solar
energy that reaches the Earth. Yet, even in the most cloud-free regions of the planet, the solar
constant cannot be measured precisely. Gas molecules and dust particles in the atmosphere
absorb and scatter sunlight and prevent some wavelengths of the light from ever reaching the
ground.

With the advent of satellites, however, scientists have finally been able to measure the
Sun’s output without being impeded by the Earth’s atmosphere. Solar Max, a satellite from the
national Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has been measuring the Sun’s output
since February 1984. Although a malfunction in the satellite’s control system limited its
observation for a few years, the satellite was repaired in orbit by astronauts from the space shuttle
in 1984. Max’s observations indicate that the solar constant is not really constant after all.

The satellite’s instruments have detected frequent, small variations in the Sun’s energy
output, generally amounting to no more than 0.05 percent of the Sun’s mean energy output and
lasting from a few days to a few weeks. Scientists believe these fluctuations coincide with the
appearance and disappearance of large groups of sunspots on the Sun’s disk. Sunspots are
relatively dark regions on the Sun’s surface that have strong magnetic fields and a temperature
about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the rest of the Sun’s surface. Particularly large
fluctuations in the solar constant have coincided with the sightings of the large sunspot groups. In
1980, for example, Solar Max’s instruments, registered a 0.3 percent drop in the solar energy
reaching the Earth. At the same time a sunspot group covered about 0.6 percent of the solar disk,
an area 20 times larger than the Earth’s surface.

Long-term variations in the solar constant are more difficult to determine. Although Solar
Max’s data have indicated a slow and steady decline in the Sun’s output, some scientists have
thought that the satellite’s aging detectors might have become less sensitive over the years, thus
falsely indicating a drop in the solar constant. This possibility was dismissed, however, by
comparison Solar Max’s observations with data from a similar instrument operating on NASA’s
Nimbus 7 weather satellite since 1978.
