READING COMPREHENSION (Number 161180)
Read the passage carefully and select the one correct answer from the four choices (A, B, C or D)
Reading 1for question number 161166
Line

Every animal is a living radiator. Heat formed in its cell is given off through its skin. Warm-blooded
animals maintain a steady temperature by constantly replacing lost surface heat; smaller animals, which
have more skin for every ounce of body weight, must produce heat faster then bigger ones. Because
smaller animals burn fuel faster, scientists say they live faster.
The speed at which an animal lives is determined by measuring the rate at which it uses oxygen. A
chicken, for example, uses one-half cubic centimeter of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs.
Because it uses oxygen eight times as fast, it is said that the mouselike shrew is living eight times as fast
as the chicken. The smallest of the warm-blooded creatures, the humming bird, lives a hundred times as
fast as an elephant.

The Hollywood sign, the hills that line the northern border of Los Angeles is a famous landmark
recognized the world over. The white-painted, 50-foot-high, sheet metal letters can be seen from great
distances across the Los Angeles basin. The sign was not constructed, as one might suppose,by the movie
business as a means of celebrating the importance of Hollywood to this industry; instead, it was
first constructed in 1923 as a means of advertising homes for sale in 500-acre housing subdivision in a part
of Los Angeles called Hollywoodland. The sign that was constructed at the time, of course, said
Hollywoodland. Over the years, people began referring to the area by the shortened version Hollywood,
and after the sign and its site were donated to the city in 1945, the last four letters were removed.
The sign suffered from years of disrepair, in 1973 it needed to be completely replaced, at a cost of
$27.700 per letter. Various celebrities were instrumental in helping to raise needed funds. Rock star Alice
Cooper, for example, bought an O in memory of Groucho Marx, and Hugh Hefner of Playboy fame held a
benefit party to raise the money for Y. The construction of the new sign was finally completed in 1978.

A. a construction company

You might think enormous wealth guarantees instant notoriety. It does not. Some of the worlds
richest people manage to stay below the detection of the public despite being worth billions. We are not
talking about being famous and reclusive. We are talking about being flat-out unknown among the
masses. Sure, most people know of billionaires like corporate financier Carl Icahn, Hong Kong business
magnate Li Kashing and Italian media mogul and former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. But what of
Sussane Klatten? Or Birgit Rausing? Or John Sall? They have the kind of money the rest of us can only
dream of. And yet heres betting that youve never heard of them, even if youre familiar with the
companies or products that made them wealthy.
Sall, worth $4.4 billion when Forbes last valued his fortune in September 2007 as part of our annual
Forbes 400 rankings, co-founded privately held software giant SAS, where he remains executive vice
president. Klatten is a member of Germanys Quandt family, which owns a controlling stake in auto maker
BMW. She also owns 50% of German chemical company Altana. Forbes last estimated her fortune in March
at $9.6 billion as part of our annual billionaire rankingsalthough that was before she received half of the
proceeds from Altanas $6 billion sale of its pharmaceutical
business to Nycomed last year. And Rausing? She and her three children have a combine fortune of about
$11 billion after inheriting ownership of packaging giant Tetra Laval. Never heard of Tetra? Ever slurp
down refreshment from juice box? Thats them.
Sitting through the names of obscure billionaires can invite some surprises. For example, take the
case of Peter Buck. No, not the guitarist from R.E.M. This Peter Bucklent a family friend $1.000 in 1965 to
start a sandwich shop. Today, the result is Subway Restaurants. Youd think that being a co-founder of a
fast-food giant would gain you some name recognition. But its probably safe to say that few people not
named Jared have ever heard of Buck. Much of the same could be said about Bradley Hughes. No, not the
PGA golfer from Australia. Like Buck, Hughes started a business that youve probably heard of. It has 2100
locations in 38 states. If you are an incurable pack rat, you might be a

customer. Give up? Hughes is the founder and chairman of Public Storage (NYSE: PSA-news-people). Then
theres copper-mining magnate Vladimir Kim, who cuts an unlikely figure on a lot of different levels. The
guys worth a cool $5.5 billion, making him the richest person in the post-soviet republics outside Russia.
He is also a lot wealthier than Silicon Valley billionaires Meg Whitman, Jerry Yang, and John Doerr, despite
the presumed geographic disadvantage of hailing from Kazakhstan. And Kim is the richest ethnic Korean
in the planet, with the fortune that far surpasses even that of Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun-Hee.
