PASSAGE 2 (5 PTS) : Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question.
Birds that feed in flocks commonly retire together into roosts. The reasons for roosting
communally are not always obvious, but there are some likely benefits.
In winter especially, it is important for birds to keep warm at night and conserve precious
food reserves. One way to do this is to find a sheltered roost. Solitary roosters shelter in dense
vegetation or enter a cavity-horned larks dig holes in the ground and ptarmigan burrow into snow
5
banks – but the effect of sheltering is magnified by several birds huddling together in the roost, as
wrens, swifts, brown creepers, bluebirds, and anis do. body contact reduces the surface area
exposed to the cold air, so the birds keep each other warm. Two kinglets huddling together were
found to reduce their heat losses by a quarter and three together saved a third of their heat.
The second possible benefit of communal roosts is that they act as “information centers.”
During the day, parties of birds will have spread out toforage over a very large area. When they
return in the evening some will have fed well, but others may have found little to eat. Some
investigators have observed that when the birds set out again next morning, those birds that did not
feed well on the previous day appear to follow those that did. The behavior of common and lesser
kestrels may illustrate different feeding behaviors of similar birds with different roosting habits.
The common kestrel hunts vertebrate animals in a small, familiar hunting ground, whereas the very
similar lesser kestrel feeds on insects over a large area. The common kestrel roosts and hunts alone,
but the lesser kestrel roosts and hunts in flocks, possibly so one bird can learn from other where to
find insect swarms.
Finally, there is safety in numbers at communal roosts since there will always be a few birds
awake at any given moment to give the alarm. But this increased protection is partially
counteracted by the fact that mass roosts attract predators and are especially vulnerable if they are
on the ground. Even those in trees can be attacked by birds of prey. The birds on the edge are at
greatest risk since predators find it easier to catch birds perching at the margins of the roost.

III. ERROR CORRECTION (10 PTS) : The following passage contains 10 errors. Identify
and correct them.
The development and widespread use of computer technology and the Internet have transformed
how we communicate, how business is conducting, how information is dispersed, and how society
is organized. Before to approximately 1980, in-deep information about any one subject matter was
attained through laborious research involved countless visits to libraries and via repeated interviews
with persons of known reputation and reputable expertise. Now, a great plenty of information is
available at the click of a mouse button, all attainable from within the confines of one’s own home
or from the use of a computer in an office. Previous labour-intensive support jobs, such as loading
and unpacking of trucks, luggage handling at airports, and food manufacturing, once performed by
a large middle-class workforce, are now performed routine by robots which are monitored by
computer-controlling systems.

Our lives have been simplified by the advent of computer and internet technologies, but
likewise these benefits which have been ushered in by the technology revolutions have had an
averse effect on the core of our interpersonal-relationships. Merely communication is no longer via
postal mail or face-to-face contact, but rather via electronic email, personal internet message
boards, and by virtue of hand-held personal electronic assistance. Although computer technology
has brought us to within a mouse-click of any sought-after piece of information, this technology
boom has sequestered us to the confines of our computer desks and homes andhave removed us
away from those traditional settings.
