 Save the Cats

Many of the wildcat species in the world today face possible extinction. What is worse is
that the cause of depletion has not been a natural one. It is man who has been responsible,
knowingly or not, for the plight of these wild animals. Yet, the only hope of saving them lies in
man himself. Through the years, the wildcat species have been cruelly hunted. Today in China
and the Far East there is still a market for not only the fur skins but also the organs and bones of
the tiger and leopard. Ironically, one of the main uses of this body parts is in producing
medicines which are said to help men promote long life and vitality.
As the population of humans grows, communities are built and extended into the natural habitat
of the wild cats. Forests are cleared and the feeding grounds of many of the wild cats natural
prey are destroyed. As a result, in many of these areas, wild cats are forced to become predators
of domestic animals. In these cases, they are labelled as a danger to man. Man has to be more
responsible for these wild cats future. Many governments and organizations can show more
support by banning the hunting and killing of the worlds endangered cat species. More
conservation programs and wildlife reserves should also be set up to help preserve these species.

George Washington is one of the most famous citizens of the United States. He is
remembered as the Father of His Country. For nearly twenty years, he guided his nation.
Washington was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, on February 22, 1732. It is difficult to
know much about washingtons early education.
He only had seven or eight years of school in his whole life. In 1749 he became a surveyor, a
person who measures land areas as a profession. He served in the army during the American
Revolution. In fact, he was a lieutenant general, the highest rank in the army at that time. In
1759, he married Martha Dandridge Custis. They had several children.
Washington was elected president of the United States in 1787. He was reelected to a second
term in 1792. Many people wanted him to continue as president after his second term, but
Washington refused. During Washington s presidency, many important things happened. The
first national census was completed. The total number of US citizens was then 3,929,214. In
addition, the Bill of Right became law on December 15, 1791. These ten laws make sure that
Americans will have basic freedoms, such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

Washington helped to shape the beginning of the United States in three important ways. First he
commanded the Continental Army that won independence from Great Britain in the
Revolutionary War. Second, he served as president of the convention that wrote the United States
Constitution. Third, he was the first man elected president of the United States.No other
American has been honored more than Washington. The nations capital, Washington D.C. was
named for him. The state of Washington is the only state that was named for a president. Many
countries, towns, streets bridges, lakes, parks, and schools have his name today. Washingtons
portrait appears on postage stamps, on the one-dollar bill, and on the quarter. His birthday is also
a federal holiday. The people of his day loved Washington very much. His army officers wanted
to make him king, but he did not let them. From the time of Revolutionary War, his birthday has
been celebrated throughout the country. Today we continue to remember this famous United
States citizen.

 Very Fast Trains
A very fast train is an electrified train that runs on a dedicated line. A very fast train has an
average speed of more than 250 km/h. It offers an obvious alternative to cars on crowded
motorways and to air travel on crowded air routes. Very fast trains have been around for a long
while. In Japan, the first very fast train, the so-called bullet train, first ran in 1964. Its route, the
Tokaido line, was from Tokyo to Osaka, a distance of 515 km. It achieved speeds of up to 300
km/h. The 6 other national super train, the TGV (Train aGrande Vitesse: meaning high-speed
train), ran in France for the first time in 1983, on Paris to Lyon route. Super trains are generally
expected to run at an average speed 270km/h. Spains super train, the Ave, has reached a top
speed of 500km/h. No wonder very fast trains have spread throughout Europe, and the bullet
train system has been extended in Japan. How are very fast trains able to attain such high speed?
First of all, they have an efficient supply of energy through overhead electric lines. They have
aerodynamic design to limit wind resistance at high speeds. Curves and climbs have been kept to
a minimum.

They also travel on lines especially built for their high speeds there are no slower, more
conventional trains on super train lines. Very fast trains are smooth-running and quiet. They have
few delays. For examples, the average time for TGV trains to remain at stations is just a few
minutes.
That is, enough time to permit passengers to alight from and board the train. Planes travel at
much faster speed than super trains, yet passengers spend a lot of time getting to airports,
boarding the plane, and then leaving the airport and traveling to their local destination at the
other end. On some routes in Europe it is faster to travel by super train than by plane. There are
no super trains in Australia because of our vast distances and very small population. Elsewhere in
the world, super trains travel between centers of great population. However, Queensland does
have a tilt train, the next step down from the super trains. It achieves high speeds because it tilts
as it comes into curves. As a
result, the train does not have to slow down so much. However, it does not travel on a specially
constructed line.

a. what a very fast train looks like

A good animal adapts himself quickly. He is capable of learning by experience. In a country

entirely new to him, he soon discovers the best method of getting about, where the feed grows,
where he can find water. He is accustomed to foraging for himself. You do not need to show him
his pasturage. If there is anything to eat anywhere in the district he will find it. Little tufts of
bunch-grass growing
concealed under the edges of the brush, he will search out. If he cannot get grass, he knows how
to rustle for the browse (the tender vegetation such as shoots, leaves and twigs) of small bushes.
Bullet would devour sage-brush, when he could get nothing else; and I have even known him
philosophically to fill up on dry pine-needles. There is no nutrition in dry pine-needles, but
Bullet got a satisfyingly full belly. On the trail, a well-seasoned horse will be always on the
forage, snatching here a mouthful, yonder a single spear of grass, and all without breaking the
regularity of his gait, or delaying the pack-train behind him. At the end of the days travel, he is
that much to the good.

 Facsimile
A facsimile or fax machine resembles a small photocopier. It is a device capable of transmitting
or receiving an exact copy of a page of printed or pictorial matter over telephone lines, in
usually, less than 60 seconds. To send a document, the user inserts it into the machine and dials
the telephone number of the receiving fax machine. After the connection is made, an electronic
scanner on the transmitting machine moves across the page and converts the image into a set of
electronic signals. These signals travel over the telephone lines to the receiving fax machine.
That machine converts the electronic signals back into an image of the original document and
then prints a copy.
Most of contemporary fax machines conform to a set of standards, known as Group III, that were
implemented in 1980, and that requires digital image scanning and data compression. Machine
built to conform to Group III standard transmit the data at a maximum 9,600 bits per second
(bps). News services often use facsimile to send news stories and photographs to newspapers and
television station. Banks, laws firms and other businesses use facsimile to send copies of
documents to clients and other organizations. Nowadays, fax machine can be used to receive a
copy of a page sent through email and the machine can even send it to e-mail. Latest science
inventions cover real bigger photocopiers that can produce copies of documents directly sent to
e-mail and, of course, to the fax machine in another part of the world. Facsimile has truly gone
through great changes of role as just as simple photocopiers.
