Book clubs are a great way to meet new friends or keep in touch with old ones, while keeping up on your
reading and participating in lively and intellectually stimulating discussions. If you're interested in
starting a book club, you should consider the following options and recommendations.
The first thing you'll need are members. Before recruiting, think carefully about how many people you
want to participate and also what the club's focus will be. For example, some book clubs focus
exclusively on fiction, others read nonfiction. Some are even more specific, focusing only on a particular
genre such as mysteries, science fiction, or romance, others have a more flexible and open focus. All of
these possibilities can make for a great club, but it is important to decide on a focus at the outset so the
guidelines will be clear to the group and prospective member.
After setting the basic parameters, recruitment can begin. Notify friends and family, advertise in the local
newspaper, and hang flyers on bulletin boards in local stores, colleges, libraries, and bookstores. When
enough people express interest, schedule a kick-off meeting during which decisions will be made about
specific guidelines that will ensure the club runs smoothly. This meeting will need to establish where the
group will meet (rotating homes or a public venue such as a library or coffee shop); how often the group
will meet, and on what day of the week and at what time; how long the meetings will be; how bookswill
be chosen and by whom; who will lead the group (if anyone); and whether refreshments will be served
and if so, who will supply them. By the end of this meeting, these guidelines should be set and a book
selection and date for the first official meeting should be finalized.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Molting is one of the most involved processes of a bird's annual life cycle. Notwithstanding preening
and constant care, the marvelously intricate structure of a bird's feather inevitably wears out. All adult
birds molt their feathers at least once a year, and upon close observation, one can recognize the frayed,
ragged appearance of feathers that are nearing the end of their useful life. Two distinct processes are
involved in molting.

Trang 4
The first step is when the old, worn feather is dropped, or shed. The second is when a new feather grows
in its place. When each feather has been shed and replaced, then the molt can be said to be complete.
This, however, is an abstraction that often does not happen: incomplete, overlapping, and arrested molts
are quite common.
Molt requires that a bird find and process enough protein to rebuild approximately one- third of its body
weight. It is not surprising that a bird in heavy molt often seems listless and unwell. But far from being
random, molt is controlled by strong evolutionary forces that have established an optimal time and
duration. Generally, molt occurs at the time of least stress on the bird. Many songbirds, for instance, molt
in late summer, when the hard work of breeding is done but the weather is still warm and food still
plentiful. This is why the woods in late summer often seem so quiet, when compared with the exuberant
choruses of spring.
Molt of the flight feathers is the most highly organized part of the process. Some species, for example,
begin by dropping the outermost primary feathers on each side (to retain balance in the air) and wait until
the replacement feathers are about one-third grown before shedding the next outermost, and so on.
Others always start with the innermost primary feathers and work outward. Yet other species begin in the
middle and work outward on both weeks while the replacement feathers grow.

A. birds prepare for breeding B. bird feathers differ from species

Question 41. Some birds that are molting maintain balance during flight by_____________.
A. constantly preening and caring fortheir remaining feathers
B. dropping flight feathers on both sides at the same time
