Much has been written about the diversity of terrestrial organisms, particularlythe exceptionally rich life associated with tropical rain-forest habitats. Relatively little has been said,however, about diversity of life in the sea even though coral reef systems are comparable to rain forests interms of richness of life.An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet’s dominants, most-distinctive feature theocean. Humans have bias toward land that sometimes gets in the way of truly examining global issues.Seen from far away, it is easy to realize that landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth’s surface. Giventhat two thirds of the Earth’s surface is water and that marine life lives at all levels of the ocean, the totalthree-dimensional living space of the ocean is perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and contains morethan 90 percent of all life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer distinct species.The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the world’s rain forests does not seemsurprising, considering the huge number of insects that comprise the bulk of the species. One scientist foundmany diferent species of ants in just one tree from rain forest. While every species is diferent from everyother species, their genetic makeup constrains them to be insects and to share similar characteristics with750,000 species of insects. If basic, broad categories such as phyla and classes are given more emphasisthan diferentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is unquestionably the sea. Nearlyevery major type of plant and animal has some representation there To appreciate fully the diversity andabundance of life in the sea, it helps to think small. Every spoonful of ocean water contains life, on the orderof 100 to 100,000 bacterial cells plus assorted microscopic plants and animals, including larvae of organismsranging from sponges and corals to starfish and clams and much more .(Source: “Practice Exercises for the TOEFL: Test of English as Foreign Language”, Barron’s online bookstoreAmazon.com) 23.

Reading to oneself is modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical andmedieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud.Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud wasa distraction to others. Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading haverevealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselveschanged in character. The last century saw steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers. As the numberof readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in theneed to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, came the flourishing of readingas private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloudwould cause distraction to other readers. Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used forinformation or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was insome way mentally weakening. Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education. However, whateverits virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and were replaced by the printed mass media on the onehand and by books and periodicals for specialized readership on the other. By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and touse reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural andtechnological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied (Source: http://ompersonal.net/omcpe/unit06/lesson21/page2.htm 30.
