Evidence obtained from site known as the Hole in the Rock, in Papago Park in Phoenix, Arizona,indicates that it might have been used as an observatory by prehistoric people known as the Hohokam.The physical attributes of the site allow its use as natural calendar/clock. The “hole” at Hole in the Rockis formed by two large overhanging rocks coming together at point, creating shelter with an opening largeenough for several persons to pass through. The northeast-facing overhang has smaller hole in its roof. It isthis smaller hole that produces the attributes that may have been used as calendar/clock.Because of its location in the shelter’s roof, beam of sunlight can pass through this second hole and cast aspot onto the shelter’s wall and floor. This spot of light travels from west to east as the sun moves across thesky. It also moves from north to south and back again as the Earth travels around the Sun. The west-to-eastmovement could have been used to establish daily clock, much like sundial, while the north-to-southmovement could have been used to establish seasonal calendar.The spot first appears and starts down the surface of the wall of the shelter at different times of the morningdepending on the time of the year. The spot grows in size from its first appearance until its maximum size isachieved roughly at midday. It then continues its downward movement until it reaches point where it jumpsto the floor of the shelter. As the Sun continues to move to the west, the spot continues to move across theshelter floor and down the butte, or hill, toward group of small rocks. If person is seated on certain one ofthese rocks as the spot reaches it, the Sun can be viewed through the calendar hole. This occurs at differenttimes in the afternoon depending on the time of year.Câu 18: What does the passage mainly discuss?A. site used by ancient people to measure time B.

However, coming up with large-scalesolutions is not always what is needed. Sometimes it pays to think small and that is exactly what many peopleare doing these days. By thinking small, lots of big minds have created some pretty amazing things.One example of this is microloans. Microloans are tiny loans, in some cases just few dollars, which are Trang Mã thi 124ềavailable to people in developing countries. Although this may not seem like lot of money, microloans canhelp workers to escape poverty and start their own businesses. The person behind the modern microloanmovement is Bangladeshi man named Muhammad Yunus. He started the project in the 1970s by offeringvillagers low-interest loans using his own money. Yunus wanted to offer poor people access to small loans sothey wouldn’t be forced to turn to gangsters if they needed funds. In 1983, he founded the Grameen Bank andsoon after, similar organizations started popping up around the globe. Although there are still some issues withmicroloans, at the very least they offer everyone the potential of becoming an entrepreneur.For most of the 20 th century, companies required large sums of money and plenty of manpower to compete atthe highest levels. In the late 1990s, the Internet changed this and many microenterprises came about.Microenterprises are smaller companies that employ less than 10 people and only require small sums of moneyto start. Being small offers lots of flexibility to these companies as they can react more quickly than corporategiants when business opportunity arises. Many technology companies that produce mobile apps and websitesfall into this category. Keep in mind that having small staff doesn’t mean small profits, as microenterprisescan earn hundreds of millions of dollars per year.Thinking small can also lead to tremendous improvement in quality. One example of this ismicrobreweries, which are smaller-sized breweries that produce far less beer than traditional breweries. Sincemicrobreweries don’t have to target large markets and make millions of sales to stay open, they can monitor thebrewing process carefully to make sure everything is perfect. In addition, microbreweries can experiment withunique flavours that many traditional brewers would shy away from. So the next time you are asked to “thinkbig”, remember that good things may also come in small packages.Câu 44: What is the best title for the passage ?A. Microtrends: It's Small World After AllB.
