Pre-TOEFL Reading, Summary (L. 5)

Bats
Bats are the only animals c   able of true flight except for insects and birds. There are about 1.000 species of bats w       e and their o   r is called Chiroptera, which means hand-wing. Their sizes range from the size of bumblebees to those with w      ns up to six feet. About 70 percent of all bats eat insects and there are species that eat fruit or n      r, frogs and lizards, or fish. There is one species that f   s on blood of m     ls. Bats have wings c     sed of a thin m      ne that covers a f         k of bones a        ly similar to human hands, which gives great a    ty in flight. They are so n   ble that they can turn 90 d     s in a distance shorter than their own body l     h. The wing s      e is large and creates immense l  t that enables a bat to carry its n  sing offspring and up to twice as heavy as its body. The insect-eating bats have a skill called e         tion. A bat sends out up to 200 high-p    ed squeaks per second and p     sses the information of the sound w   es that b    d back from an object to it. When the bat i      ts the object as an insect, it s   ps ahead and catches it. It was once e    ted that a bat’s sonar was about a billion times more s      tive than the best man-made sonar or radar.


Erikson’s Eight Psychosocial Stages

Erik Erikson believed that the p           gical development of individuals depends on the social relations e         hed at mainly eight p         cial stages, where individuals c       t and must successfully n          e special problems or c     ses to be prepared for the next psychosocial tasks. During the first year of life, infants must learn that their parents will protect them and provide them with u         al love. Successful development of such trust makes the infant feel safe to try out more a      my in the second year, when. with parents encouragement, they will learn self-control and feeling of pride in their a           ments. Failure of this phase may lead to lack of self-confidence. P                l years are for the development of voluntary behavior. Some p            al attitudes towards their attempts can make children feel in            te or g          ty. During the elementary-school years, the skills valued by society such as the ability to share r      ty and to get along with other people will be acquired. If their efforts are successful, they will develop feeling of c           e and if unsuccessful, feelings of in      ty.
