Itis well placed for observation for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of theplanets apart from Venus though for relatively brief periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiter's less than10 hour rotation period gives it the shortest day in the solar system in so far as the principal planetsare concerned. There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to theperpendicular of the orbital plane is only just over 3° less than that for any other planet. The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot It has shown variations in bothintensity and colour, and at times it has been invisible, but it always returns after few years. At itsgreatest extent it may be 40,000 kilometres long and 14,000 kilometres wide, so its surface area isgreater than that of Earth. Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts about inlongitude. Over the past century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200°. Thelatitude is generally very close to -22°, It was once thought that the Red Spot might be solid orsemisolid body floating in Jupiter's outer gas. However, the Pioneer and Voyager results haverefuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be phenomenon of Jovian meteorology. Its longevity© Bình THPT Li n, Th ch, Vĩnh Phúc www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 5may well due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may notbe permanent.

Discrimination against women inbusiness, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number ofwomen entrepreneurs small. Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than$40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s. AsCarolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s wasthe decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of thewoman entrepreneur". What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as morewomen earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are findingobstacles. Women are still excluded from most executive suites. Charlotte Taylor, managementconsultant, had noted, "In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard theycould become chairman of the board. Now they've found out that isn't going to happen, so they goout on their own".In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics and clothing,for example. But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer Systems, $22-million-a- year computersoftware business. It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then housewife withdegrees in math and engineering. When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product wassoftware that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers-and her office was abedroom at home, with shoebox under the bed to hold the company's cash. After she succeededwith the newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer-science graduates todevelop additional programs. When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow. It now has200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock.Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do. They stillface hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and financeworld is still dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard. Most businesses owned by women arestill quite small. But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs inthe years ahead.Question 43: What is the main idea of this passage?A.
