ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS
Paul Watson is an environmental activist. He is a man who believes that he must do something, not just talk
about doing something. Paul believes in protecting endangered animals, and he protects them in controversial
ways. Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him very much. Other people think that he is a
criminal.
On July 16th, 1979, Paul Watson and his crew were on his ship, which is called the Sea Shepherd. Watson and
the people who work on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic Ocean near Portugal. However, they
had a strange prey; instead of hunting for animals, their prey was a ship, the Sierra. The Sea Shepherd found the
Sierra, ran into it and sank it. As a result, the Sierra never returned to the sea. The Sea Shepherd, on the other
hand, returned to its home in Canada. Paul Watson and his workers thought that they had been successful.
The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally. The captain and the crew of the Sierra did not
obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they killed as many whales as they could,
quickly cut off the meat, and froze it. Later, they sold the whale meat in countries where it is eaten.
Paul Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra. However, the
commission did very little, and Paul became impatient. He decided to stop the Sierra and other whaling ships in
any way that he could. He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone who sank any illegal whaling ship, and he sank the
Sierra. He acted because he believes that the whales must be protected. Still, he acted without the approval of
the government; therefore, his actions were controversial.
Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist. Other men and women are also fighting to protect the Earth.
Like Watson, they do not always have the approval of their governments, and like Watson, they have become
impatient. Yet, because of their concern for the environment, they will act to protect it.

II. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct option (marked A, B, C or D) to answer the
questions.
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their
actions. This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them.
Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But
does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar?
Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions.
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the
same “facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal
emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example,
signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina,
Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the
Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at
least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are, however,
huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays – the so called display
rules. In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses – especially
negative ones- while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless
of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree , in people’s behavior. From their first
days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings.
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention to facial
expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s faces. This
evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human
emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to
appear across species boundaries. Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry
different meanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by
sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise.
Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean
embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions.

Moles happy as homes go underground
A. The first anybody knew about Dutchman Frank Siegmund and his family was when workmen tramping
through a field found a narrow steel chimney protruding through the grass. Closer inspection revealed a chink
of sky-light window among the thistles, and when amazed investigators moved down the side of the hill they
came across a pine door complete with leaded diamond glass and a brass knocker set into an underground
building. The Siegmunds had managed to live undetected for six years outside the border town of Breda, in
Holland. They are the latest in a clutch of individualistic homemakers who have burrowed underground in
search of tranquility.
B. Most, falling foul of strict building regulations, has been forced to dismantle their individualistic homes and
return to more conventional lifestyles. But subterranean suburbia, Dutch-style, is about to become respectable
and chic. Seven luxury homes cosseted away inside a high earth-covered noise embankment next to the main
Tilburg city road recently went on the market for $296,500 each. The foundations had yet to be dug, but
customers queued up to buy the unusual part-submerged houses, whose back wall consists of a grassy mound
and whose front is a long glass gallery.
C. The Dutch are not the only would - be moles. Growing numbers of Europeans are burrowing below ground
to create houses, offices, discos and shopping malls. It is already proving a way of life in extreme climates; in
winter months in Montreal, Canada, for instance, citizens can escape the cold in an underground complex
complete with shops and even health clinics. In Tokyo builders are planning a massive underground city to be
begun in the next decade, and underground shopping malls are already common in Japan, where 90 percent of
the population is squeezed into 20 percent of the land space.
D. Building big commercial buildings underground can be a way to avoid disfiguring or threatening a beautiful
or “environmentally sensitive” landscape. Indeed many of the buildings which consume most land - such as
cinemas, supermarkets, theatres, warehouses or libraries - have no need to be on the surface since they do not
need windows.
E. There are big advantages, too, when it comes to private homes. A development of 194 houses which would
take up 14 hectares of land above ground would occupy 2.7 hectares below it, while the number of roads would
be halved. Under several metres of earth, noise is minimal and insulation is excellent. “We get 40 to 50
enquiries a week,” says Peter Carpenter, secretary of the British Earth Sheltering Association, which builds 65
similar homes in Britain. “People see this as a way of building for the future.” An underground dweller himself,
Carpenter has never paid a heating bill, thanks to solar panels and natural insulation.
F. In Europe, the obstacle has been conservative local authorities and developers who prefer to ensure quick
sales with conventional mass produced housing. But the Dutch development was greeted with undisguised
relief by South Limburg planners because of Holland’s chronic shortage of land. It was the Tilburg architect Jo
Hurkmans who hit on the idea of making use of noise embankments on main roads. His two - floored, four -
bedroomed, two - bathroomed detached homes are now taking shape. “They are not so much below the earth as
in it,” he says. “All the light will come through the glass front, which runs from the second floor ceiling to the
ground. Areas which do not need much natural lighting are at the back. The living accommodation is to the
front so nobody notices that the back is dark.”
G. In the US, where energy-efficient homes became popular after the oil crisis of 1973, 10,000 underground
houses have been built. A terrace of five homes, Britain’s first subterranean development, is under way in
Nottinghamshire. Italy’s outstanding example of subterranean architecture is the Olivetti residential centre in
Ivrea. Commissioned by Roberto Olivetti in 1969, it comprises 82 one-bedroomed apartments and 12
marionettes and forms a house/ hotel for Olivetti employees. It is built into a hill and little can be seen from
outside except a glass facade. Patnzia Vallecchi, a resident since 1992, says it is little different from living in a
conventional apartment.
H. Not everyone adapts so well, and in Japan scientists at the Shimizu Corporation have developed “space
creation” systems which mix light, sounds, breezes and scents to stimulate people who spend long periods
below ground. Underground offices in Japan are being equipped with “virtual” windows and mirrors, while
underground departments in the University of Minnesota have periscopes to reflect views and light.
I. But Frank Siegmund and his family love their hobbit lifestyle. Their home evolved when he dug a cool room
for his bakery business in a hill he had created. During a heatwave they took to sleeping there. “We felt at peace
and so close to nature,” he says. “Gradually I began adding to the rooms. It sounds strange but we are so close
to the earth we draw strength from its vibrations. Our children love it; not every child can boast of being
watched through their playroom windows by rabbits.
