According to airline industry statistics, almost 90 percent of airline accidents are survivable or
partially survivable. But passengers can increase their chances of survival by learning and following
certain tips. Experts say that you should read and listen to safety instruction before take off and ask
questions if you have uncertainties. You should fasten your seat belt low on your hips and as tightly
as possible. Of course, you should also know how the release mechanism of your belt operates.
During takeoffs and landings, you are advised to keep your feet flat on the floor. Before take off, you
should locate the nearest exit and an alterative exit and count the rows of seats between you and
the exits so that you can reach them in the dark if necessary. In the event that you are forewarned
of a possible accident, you should put your hands on your ankles and keep your head down until the
planes comes to a complete stop. If smoke is present in the cabin, you should keep your head low
and cover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing. If possible, wet these for added protection
against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as quickly as possible, follow crew commands and do not take
personal belongings with you. Do not jump on escape slides before they are fully inflated, and when
you jump, do so with your arms and legs extended in front of you. When you get to the ground, you
should move away from the plane as quickly as possible, and smoke near the wreckage

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 following questions
Fish that live on the sea bottom benefit by being flat and hugging the contours. There are two
very different types of flatfish and they have evolved in very separate ways. The skates and rays,
relatives of the sharks have become flat in what might be called the obvious way. Their bodies have
grown out sideways to form great “wings” They look as though they have been flattened but have
remained symmetrical and “the right way up” Conversely fish such as plaice, sole, and halibut have
become flat in a different way. There are bony fish which have a marked tendency to be flattened in
a vertical direction; they are much “taller” than they are wide. They use their whole vertically
flattened bodies as swimming surfaces, which undulate through the water as they move. Therefore
when their ancestors migrated to the seabed, they lay on one side than on their bellies. However,
this raises the problem that one eye was always looking down into the sand and was effectively
useless - In evolution this problem was solved by the lower eye “moving” around the other side. We
see this process of moving around enacted in the development of every young bony flatfish. It starts
life swimming near the surface, and is symmetrical and vertically flattened, but then the skull starts
to grow in a strange asymmetrical twisted fashion, so that one eye for instance the left, moves over
the top of the head upwards, an old Picasso - like vision. Incidentally, some species of flatfish settle
on the right side, others on the left, and others on either side.

Question 42: The word “this” refers to
A. the migration of the ancestors
B. the practice of lying on one side
C. the problem of the one eye looking downwards
D. the difficulty of the only one eye being useful
