People in the Gulf region and Kuwait in particular have been fishing for centuries. One of the tools known to them and the one which is still widely used is the fishing net or qarqour as it locally known.
This particular tool has been the favorite for the obvious reasons; easy to set up, cost-effective, and doesn’t  demand much time nor effort. Because it is so practical for fishermen, it is not unusual for one fisherman to have more than 150 fishing nets. "Conscientious" fishermen nowadays use modern equipment such as the Global Positioning System known commonly as GPS, which directs them to the right areas where big fish are in abundance. Those fishermen use fishing nets, the size of which is recommended locally and internationally. But some fishermen either due to negligence or ignorance use small sized fishing nets to catch more fish including smaller fish with little disregard to the necessity of protecting the small fishes. Worse still, others after they set up a number of fishing nets here and there, they suddenly lose the GPS grids, which basically and simply mean a mass graveyard for the different types of fish. It is now more expedient that ever that each fisherman should have a log-in sheet so that our water doesn’t become overcrowded by fishing nets.

	1.	Which paragraph below best paraphrases the ideas expressed in the passage above?
A.	Certain types of net fishing that are being used in Kuwait have become a concern of a staff writer for the Al-Watan Daily.  The main complaints are the use of small nets and the places where some less ecologically-minded fisherman harvest their catch. The writer suggests the use of regulation-size nets to protect small fish and the creation and use of a “log-in sheet” to avoid over-fishing. 	B.	According to the Al Watan Daily, there is a problem with the methods of net fishing in Kuwait.  Some fishermen use fishing nets, the size of which is recommended locally and internationally, and this means a mass graveyard for the different types of fish.  The reporter stated that log-in sheets would help to avoid overcrowded areas of the Gulf.

     In an influential article, Terrace, Petitto, Sanders, and Bever (1979) argued that the apes in language experiments were not using language spontaneously but were merely imitating their trainers, responding to conscious or unconscious cues. Terrace and his colleagues at Columbia University had trained a chimpanzee, Nim, in American Sign Language, so their skepticism about the apes’ abilities received much attention. In fact, funding for ape language research was sharply reduced following publication of their 1979 article “Can an Ape Create a Sentence?”
