Scientists have recently made a new discovery about Earth’s tallest animal, the giraffe. Until now, scientists have believed that giraffes belonged to one species, with several subspecies distinguished by their different patterns. However, after examining the giraffes’ DNA, they’ve recognized that there are actually four separate species.

The study showed evidence that the four species shared a common ancestor around one to two million years ago. However, there is nothing to indicate that the species have crossbred or exchanged genes with each other since then. To the scientists, this is clear evidence that the four species are distinct from each other.

Conservation was the study’s initial goal. Scientists wanted to understand how the different subspecies of giraffe might be affected if they were mixed together in protected animal reservations. This discovery shows that each species of giraffe may require different methods of conservation, because each species may require totally different environments and diets than the others.

Giraffe populations have declined 40% since 2001, with only an estimated 90,000 giraffes left in the wild. While giraffes as a whole are not included on the endangered species list, the discovery may prove that each species is progressing in a different way. Therefore, the scientists’ next project is to study what each species needs to survive, and how to effectively protect each species.

Thailand completed construction on the MahaNakhon, the country’s tallest building, and opened it to the public in August 2016. However, if you look at the MahaNakhon, which is in central Bangkok, you could be forgiven for thinking that the building wasn’t finished at all. A ribbon of open space winds its way around the sides of the building from top to bottom, giving the impression that the builders have not yet put in all of the exterior walls.

In fact, this is part of the MahaNakhon’s design. The open spaces are not truly open, but have been built with glass walls, which provide magnificent views of the city. The glass walls are spaced out, which makes the MahaNakhon’s ribbon of open spaces look a little like the pixels on an old-fashioned computer screen. The designer, German architect Ole Scheeren, says this stops the huge tower from dominating Bangkok’s skyline. Scheeren, who lived in Thailand in the 1990s, says that Bangkok is a mixture of old traditions and modern ideas, which inspired him to come up with the MahaNakon’s design. He has won a number of design awards for this project.

The building itself is 314.2 meters high, and has 77 floors. It is home to restaurants, high-end stores, a hotel, and some of Bangkok’s most expensive apartments. There is also an outdoor square than connects the MahaNakhon with the closest subway station. It’s certain to catch the attention of every visitor to Thailand’s capital for decades to come.

38. What is said about the MahaNahkon’s design?

(A) It looks like many other skyscrapers in Thailand.

(B) There are many ribbons that hang from the walls.

(C) One side of the building was built with glass walls.

(D) There are open spaces on all sides of the structure.

(A) has lived in Thailand since the 1990s               (B) received numerous awards for his work
