THE IMPORTANCE OF KRILL
Krill are small, shrimp-like animals that only grow to around 5cm in length, yet are one of the most important species on the planet. They may appear to be a relatively insignificant sea creature. However, their position at the of the food chain of hundreds of larger organisms has led to them being described as the fuel that runs the engine of marine ecosystems worldwide. There are 85 known species of krill, amongst the most important of are Antarctic krill. Intriguingly, they congregate in such large numbers at certain times of year that they are clearly visible space. Krill form a critical part of the diets of many birds, fish and whales, but are themselves mainly . They feed on microscopic plants called algae that float near the surface of the ocean. Recent scientific studies suggests that krill numbers have fallen dramatically the 1970s, perhaps by as much as 80 percent. Should krill populations fall further, then all the animals that are dependent on them will also be in serious trouble.

The Higher They Climb, the Harder They Fall
Lance Armstrong was the embodiment of ambition and fierce determination in the face of incredible odds. He fought and beat cancer, then went on to win the Tour de France an incredible seven times straight. But was he really such a magnificent athlete or was there something murky behind his spectacular success?

Dear new recruits,
On behalf of the board of creative directors, I would like to make this important announcement concerning looking at art from different perspectives. We need you to consider this carefully when you search for ideas for the project in August.
Art is defined as any expression of creativity that can be viewed, heard or otherwise experienced. In recent years, artists have started investigating new methods of expression and have brought about new and innovative art forms.
This experiment trend is not limited to the visual arts. Different types of music have the scene in recent years as well. One example is “Sound Art”, which made its first appearance in the early 90s. This discipline utilizes sounds to encourage listeners to become more conscious of what they are listening to. For some art lovers, however, “sand animation” is without a doubt the most interesting new art form. It involves a live performance where the artist sand on a surface and uses his or her fingers to create ever changing shapes and images.
the form, art provides individuals with the possibility for personal growth. No matter how it is expressed, its objective is to touch the heart of the viewer.
If you have any questions, I am willing to discuss them with you in my office.
Best regards,
Tim.

PASSAGE B:
There are many different types of places to eat. One important question is who uses different places and how often they go. As sociologists, we are very interested in social and cultural characteristics of people who behave differently. Such characteristics indicate the financial, social, practical and cultural forces systematically distributed across the population, which constrain or encourage people to engage in particular ways of eating out.
We asked respondents how often they ate out under different circumstances. Excluding holidays and eating at the workplace, on average the respondents to the survey ate a main meal out on commercial premises about once every three weeks. Twenty-one per cent ate out once a week, a further forty-four per cent at least monthly and only seven per cent claimed never to eat out. Mean frequency of eating at someone else’s home was about the same, but a much larger proportion (twenty per cent) never did so.
Twenty per cent of respondents claimed never to eat in the home of other family members, and about one third never at the home of friends. Very regular eating out with either kin or friends was not very prevalent, but being a guest at a main meal in someone else’s home is part of the life experience of a large majority of population. There is a strong positive association between being a guest of friends, guest of family and commercial eating out. Opportunities to eat out are cumulative, particularly eating out commercially and with friends.
To be seen in the right places and in attractive company, or at least to let others know that we are familiar with the most exciting or rewarding of experiences, is part of a process of display and performance which contributes to reputation. Early sociologist examining consumption were particularly interested in the claiming and attributing of status through exhibitions of a prestigious style of life. They were particularly concerned with the ways in which individuals established reputations for refinement, superiority and distinction. Consumption patterns reflected social standing, and particularly class position. Eating out is a potential means for that display through the use and avoidance of different venues.
