    The Mouse, the Frog, and the Hawk

    A Mouse who always lived on the land, by an unlucky chance, formed an intimate acquaintance with a

    Frog, who lived, for the most part, in the water.

    One day, the Frog was intent on mischief. He tied the foot oft he Mouse tightly to his own. Thus joined

    together, the Frog led his friend the Mouse to the meadow where they usually searched for food. After this,

    he gradually led him towards the pond in which he lived, until reaching the banks of the water, he suddenly

    jumped in, dragging the Mouse with him.

    The Frog enjoyed the water amazingly, and swam croaking about, as if he had done a food deed. The

    unhappy Mouse was soon sputtered and drowned in the water, and his poor dead body floating about onthe surface.

    A Hawk observed the floating Mouse from the sky, and dove down and grabbed it his talons,

    Questions 15-18 are based on the following text.Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be

    thrown away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic

    spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new products.

    In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy than

    using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for high-pollution

    alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing process.

    Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper,and office paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper

    recycling, old newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bag sand aluminum

    foil. The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a

    machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove smaller

    contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper fibers and fl oats to

    the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is

    mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper again.Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per

    month. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of land fill space. One ton

    of recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

    15. The following things can be recycled, EXCEPT....a. precious metals d. plastic spoons

    b. broken glass e. fresh vegetables and fruitsc. old newspapers

    16. Which of the following is NOT the benefit of recycling?

    a. It costs much money for the process of recycling

    b. It costs less to make new products.c. It requires less energy.

    d. It can reduce pollution.

    e. It reduces the demand for high-pollution alternatives.

    17. What is the third step of recycling paper products?

    a. Collect and search for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminium foil.

    b. Mix the paper with hot water in a blender which turns it into pulp.c. Screen and filter the pulp to remove smaller contaminants.

    d. Put the pulp to a large vat to separate the ink from the paper fibres.

    e. Mix the pulp with new wood fibres to be made into paper again.

    18. We can make use of the ink after being separated from the paper fibres by doing the followings,

    EXCEPT....

    a. Skim it off. d. Burn as boiler fuel.

    b. Dry it. e. Mix it with the pulp.

    c. Reuse as ink.

    Questions 19-22 are based on the following text.

    Should students take part-time jobs?

    One of the biggest things a student must figure out upon entering school is what to do with allthat time. Free to schedule as they please and free from the obligations of life at home, students find

    themselves with a wealth of time they may or may not have.

    There are things which you might consider working. First of all, if you want to be cool and go

    out with your classmates and buy some cool stuff, well you need money! By getting a job, you get money.

    Of course, you have to work for it, but still, it can - and probably will be useful. There is not only money to

    consider though. Experience is an important asset for after finishing your school. When you work during

    your school year and add it to your resume, it will show your future employers that you are able to manageto pursue two activities at the same time, or more if you are involved elsewhere. Another interesting thing

    to consider is the contacts you might make by working. By contacts, I mean people that can be useful to

    you later in life. If you have different jobs, you make new references you can later add to your CV along

    with the experience. Also, if you are lucky enough to get a job in your area of studies, it may later become

    a permanent job.

    The main disadvantage on your life is that you will have less time for schoolwork and social life of

    course. This also means you get less free time to just hang out or party or do other stuff than work andstudy. This is an important part of your life if you do not want to go all crazy! It is also important if you

    want to be cool. Having a job can also add another source of stress to your life. Depending on the type of

    job you are looking for, you may get a boss that always wants more hours and presses you to be more

    available. One of the things you can do is to set yourself a maximum number of hours you want to work

    per week and make this clear with your employer at the beginning of the year.

    My biggest recommendation is not to rush into anything. Its perfectly acceptable to spend the firstfew weeks of school adjusting and having fun, and then slide a job into the mix when youve grown

    comfortable with everything else. Finally, never allow an outside job to get in the way of your health and

    school years in general. While work may keep you motivated and get you needed money, its not worth

    losing your education or well being over. Obtain what you need, but if you feel yourself slipping take some

    time off, or find a better place to work. Youll have plenty of time to work post school.

    19. Which of the followings is NOT the advantage of taking part-time jobs?

    a. You will get money which you can use to buy some cool stuff.

    b. You will have less time for schoolwork.

    c. You will gain working experience.

    d. You will expand your contacts and networking.

    e. You will get references which you can add to your CV later on.

    20. The followings are the disadvantages of taking part-time jobs, EXCEPT....a. You will have less time for your social life.

    b. You will have less free time to hang out with your friends.

    c. You will get another source of stress to your life.

    d. You can prove that you can manage to pursue two activities at the same time.

    e. You may get a boss that always presses you.

    21. What does the word they in paragraph 1 line 2 refer to?

    a. students c. the readers e. cool stuff

    b. schools d. the reader and the writer

    22. What is the word disadvantage closest in meaning to?

    a. benefit c. drawback e. reward

    b. profit d. advantage

    Questions 23-25 are based on the following text.

    Ecstasy is a popular term for an illegal, mood-altering drug whose chemical name is

    3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). Ecstasy is typically available in pill form. A user begins

    to feel the effects of ecstasy about 20 minutes after swallowing a pill. The drug affects the brain, primarily

    by causing the release of a neurotransmitter (chemical that many users to experience changes in mood or

    mental outlook. Some users report that the drug generates a feeling of euphoria or excitement, along with

    increased empathy and openness toward others.

    Scientists debate whether ecstasy causes permanent damage to nerve cells in the brain. Studies in

    rats and other animals document damage to the nerve structures that produce and process serotonin. In

    humans, some brain scans of frequent ecstasy users show permanent damage to serotonin pathways.

    Furthermore, tests in humans indicate that the drug may negatively affect memory, learning, and other

    mental processes.Some scientists, however, are critical of most ecstasy research. They point out that animal studies

    may not be directly applicable to humans. They also note that the pills illegally sold on the street as ecstasy

    have been manufactured in unregulated laboratories, and these pills often contain other illegal, dangerous

    compoundsincluding cocaine, methamphetamine, or paramethoxyamphetamine (PMA, which also

    drastically raises body temperature). Without evaluating the ingredients of each pill taken, critics say it is

    difficult to measure the long-term effects of ecstasy alone.

    23. What is ecstasy?

    a. Ecstasy is a popular term for a legal drug whose chemical name is 3,4-

    ethylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA).

    b. Ecstasy is a mood-altering drug and is typically available in pill form.

    c. Ecstasy is a mood-altering drug and is always available in pill form.

    d. Ecstasys popular term is methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA).e. Ecstasy is a mood-altering drug that only affects the brain.

    24. Some users report that the drug generates a feeling of euphoria or excitement. What is the antonym of

    the word excitement?

    a. pleasure c. enthusiasm e. passion

    b. thrill d. calm

    25 . Which is the correct statement about the test in humans?

    a. Some scientists are sure that animal studies are not directly applicable to humans.b. Some scientists point out that animal studies can never be directly applicable to humans.

    c. Some scientists point out that animal studies are always directly applicable to humans.

    e. Some scientists identify that animal studies may not be directly applicable to humans.

    WHERE DOES RAIN COME FROM ?

    Rain always comes from clouds. But where do clouds come from? How does all that water get into

    the sky?

    Think about your bathroom. There is hot water in your bath. Steam goes up from the hot water.

    The steam makes small clouds in the bathroom. These warm clouds meet the cold walls and windows, and

    then we see small drops of water on the walls and windows.

    The world is like your bathroom. The water in the oceans is warm when the sun shines on it. Some

    of this water goes up into the sky and makes clouds. The wind carries the clouds for hundreds ofkilometres. Then the clouds meet cold air in the sky, and we see drops of water. The drops of water arerain.

    The rain falls and runs into rivers. Rivers run into oceans. And the water from oceans makes

    clouds and more rain. So water is always moving from oceans to clouds to rain to rivers to oceans. So the

    rain on your head was on other heads before! The water in your garden was in other gardens in othercountries.

    26 . Clouds come from .

    a. water in the sky c. water in the ocean e. water in the garden

    b. water in the bathroom d. water in the river

    27 . The statements is NOT TRUE is .

    a. Rain always comes from clouds.

    b. Steam rises from the hot water.c. The water in the oceans is warm when the sun shines on it.

    d. Some of the water goes down into the sky and makes clouds.

    e. The rain falls and runs into rivers

    How the Water Cycle Works

    Solar energy evaporates exposed water from seas, lakes, rivers, and wet soil; the majority of this

    evaporation takes place over the seas. Water is also released into the atmosphere by the plants through

    photosynthesis. During this process, known as evapotranspiration, water vapour rises into the atmosphere.

    Clouds form when air becomes saturated with water vapour. The two major types of cloud

    formation are stratified or layered grey clouds called stratus and billowing white or dark grey cloud calledcumulus clouds.

    Precipitation as rain, or hail ensures that water returns to Earths surface in a fresh form. Some of

    this rain, however, falls into the seas and is not accessible to humans. When rain falls, it either washes

    down hill slopes or seeps underground; when snow and hail melts, this water may also sink into the

    ground. Rain fall also replenishes river water supplies, as does underground water. Snow fall may

    consolidate into glaciers and ice sheets which, when they melt, release their water into the ground, into

    stream or into the seas.28 . The main idea of the paragraph one is .

    a. Solar energy expose water from seas

    b. Water vapour rises into the atmosphere

    c. The majority of this evaporation

    d. Water is released into the atmospheree. The plants through photosynthesis

    29 . The paragraph three tell us about .

    a. Precipitation as rain

    b. Release their water into the ground.

    c. Hail ensures that water returns to Earths surface

    d. Rain fall also replenishes

    e. Snow fall may consolidate

    30. The majority of this evaporation takes place over the seas (paragraph 1 ), the similar meaning from

    the underline phrase is .a. Happen c. exposed e. keep taking

    b. Attach d. evaporate

    My DayI had a terrible day yesterday. First, I woke up an hour late because my alarm clock didn't go off.
