This practice book is designed for the 9th grade pupils with the aim to enable them to engage in their own analyses of knowledge and comprehension of
the English language.
The book includes 20 tests. Each test is organized into 4 parts:
Part I deals with Text Comprehension, containing an unknown text and 5
activities following it;
Part II treats Grammar and Vocabulary. It includes a test that sums up all
the pupils have learnt in previous years.
Part III deals with Civilization Topics.
Part IV consists of Written Production.
The activities suggested in the book, which are suitable for in-class work
or as pupils homework, will make the learners time informative, enjoyable and
creative. Clear notes explain the tasks to be accomplished. Through the reading
and post-reading exercises pupils will certainly absorb more information as they
learn, review, and retain concepts getting ready for the exam.
We hope this brochure, that is an up-to-date reference concerning exams,
will help pupils to sum up all they have learnt in the previous years, giving them
a chance to check their progress and at the same time prepare for the English
exam.

Test 1
I.
Most teens need about 8 to more than 9 hours of sleep each night. The right amount of
sleep is essential for anyone who wants to do well on a test or play sports without tripping over
their feet. Unfortunately, though, many teens don't get enough sleep.
Until recently, teens were often given a bad rap for staying up late, oversleeping for
school, and falling asleep in class. But recent studies show that adolescent sleep patterns actually
differ from those of adults or kids.
These studies show that during the teen years, the body's circadian rhythm (sort of like an
internal biological clock) is temporarily reset, telling a person to fall asleep later and wake up
later. This change in the circadian rhythm seems to be due to the fact that the brain
hormone melatonin is produced later at night for teens than it is for kids and adults. This can
make it harder for teens to fall asleep early.
These changes in the body's circadian rhythm coincide with a time when we're busier
than ever. For most teens, the pressure to do well in school is more intense than when they were
kids, and it's harder to get by without studying hard.
Early start times in some schools may also play a role in this sleep deficit. Teens who fall
asleep after midnight may still have to get up early for school, meaning that they may only
squeeze in 6 or 7 hours of sleep a night. A couple hours of missed sleep a night may not seem
like a big deal, but can create a noticeable sleep deficit over time.

The Belief in the Stars
When all other advice fails to satisfy, why not turn to the stars? Lots of people believe in
the power of the zodiac to predict events and identify trends in their lives.
What is the zodiac? The zodiac is more commonly known as: star/sun signs, astrology, or
horoscopes. It is a very ancient tradition of looking to the stars for answers about a person or
people based on the placement of the stars at the time of their birth. The theory goes on the
principal that as the stars and planets change alignment; events in the life of individuals born
under certain "signs" also change. Astrology is responsible for the term, "born under a lucky
star".
One of the most popular uses of astrology's predictive powers is in the area of love and
romance. People like to see if "love is in the stars" for them, or how their "sign" matches with
that of a potential love interest. There are some signs that are said to clash and others that are
said to make beautiful music together.
Another popular reason for "consulting with the stars" is to see if wealth or success is in
ones future. Many people feel that, when all else has failed, the stars can be counted on to give
them the truth. In reality, the stars often tell people what they want to hear - another reason for
the extreme popularity of horoscopes. Whether for true "advice", or just for fun, there is always
an answer in the stars.
Astrology is a science of time where every moment has a certain quality attached to it.
The personal horoscope is a simplified map of the moments and circumstances in our life. It is in
turn a guide map for our journey through time on the planet known as Earth.

Dolly the cloned sheep
Dolly the sheep may have been the world's most famous clone, but she was not the first.
Cloning creates a genetically identical copy of an animal or plant. Many animals - including
frogs, mice, and cows - had been cloned before Dolly. Plants are often cloned taking a cutting
produces a clone of the original plant. Human identical twins are also clones.
Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell, rather than an embryo. Her
birth was announced on February 22, 1997. The sheep was originally code-named "6LL3".The
name "Dolly" came from a suggestion by the stockmen who helped with her birth, in honor of
Dolly Parton, a famous American singer of country music.
This was a major scientific achievement, but also raised ethical concerns. Since 1996,
when Dolly was born, other sheep have been cloned from adult cells, as have mice, rabbits,
horses and donkeys, pigs, goats and cattle. In 2004 a mouse was cloned using a nucleus from an
olfactory neuron, showing that the donor nucleus can come from a tissue of the body that does
not normally divide.
Animal cloning from an adult cell is obviously much more complex and difficult than
growing a plant from a cutting. So when scientists working at the Roslin Institute in Scotland
produced Dolly, the only lamb born from 277 attempts, it was a major news story around the
world. She mated and produced normal offspring in the normal way, showing that such cloned
animals can reproduce. Dolly produced twin lambs Sally and Rosie, and she gave birth to triplets
Lucy, Darcy and Cotton.

The Amish
In nearly every way, life for Amish people today is the same as it was for their ancestors
300 hundred years ago. They wear the same traditional clothes and live in large family groups.
They live in simple wooden houses without mains water and mains electricity. The water they
need is taken from wells and the houses are lit by oil lamps. Amish people have no telephones,
no dishwashers and no TVs. Moreover, they do not drive cars but travel in horse-drawn buggies.
Amish communities have their own schools. Schooling ends after the eighth grade, at the
age of 13 because the Amish do not believe in higher education for their children. They are
taught arithmetic, religious songs and how to earn a living from the land.
Today there are about 100,000 Amish people living in North America. They try to keep
their traditional way of life in the middle of a very different modern American society. The
Amish dont believe that modern technology is evil. But they are afraid that if they allowed it
into their lives, it would destroy many important things. They think that if they had TVs, there
would be less time for conversation. They believe that if they had telephones, they would stop
speaking face-to-face. And they are afraid that if they had tractors, they would become greedy
and want more land than they really need.
Amish people promise to obey their life-rules. If somebody breaks these rules, the rest of
the community will not speak to them until they are sorry for their mistakes.

GOOGLE Inc.
Google Inc. is a multinational public cloud computing, Internet search, and advertising
technologies corporation. Google hosts and develops a number of Internet-based services and
products and generates profit primarily from advertising. The company was founded by Larry
Page and Sergey Brin, often dubbed the "Google Guys". Page and Brin originally nicknamed
their new search engine "BackRub", because the system checked back links to estimate the
importance of a site. Eventually, they changed the name to Google, originating from a
misspelling of the word "googol, which represents the number one followed by one hundred
zeros, that was meant to signify the amount of information the search engine was to handle.
The company's stated mission from the outset was "to organize the world's information
and make it universally accessible and useful" . The company's unofficial slogan coined by
Google engineer Paul Buchheit is Don't be evil. Actually, this site has played an important role
in the democratization of information.
Google runs over one million servers in data centers around the world, and processes over
one billion search requests. However, the dominant market position of Google's services has led
to criticism of the company over issues including privacy, copyright, and censorship. The
company offers online productivity software, such as its Gmail e-mail software, and social
networking tools ,Google Buzz, Google Books. Since many books are difficult, if not
impossible, to find in bookstores or on library shelves, today we are able to search the full text of
almost 10 million books. Anyway, the Google web search engine is the company's most popular
service. Google indexes trillions of web pages, so that users can search for the information they
desire, through the use of keywords and operators. Moreover, today Google.org builds
technology products to address global challenges such as climate change, pandemic disease and
poverty.

FUNCTION OF SPORT IN LIFE
The word sport is a contracted form of "disport" which means to amuse, to divert one's
self. It includes play, amusement, entertainments or recreation. It is a word which signifies the
outdoor recreations, the athletic work as contrasted with the serious intellectual occupation.
Sports have existed in the past ages and have played an important role in the history of mankind.
If we consider sports from a general point of view and consider their relation to the life of the
ancient people we must inevitably come to the conclusion that sports if well conducted, have
always raised the standard of the nation to a very high degree.
Sports refresh the body, tranquilize and enlighten the mind, and develop moral character.
As a concrete example let us take a student in his college activities. The student who does
exercise is always fresh and vigorous, he seldom gets sick and tired.. Moreover in exercising, the
student gets animated, his blood is purified and consequently his mind becomes more apt to
receive the ideas and thoughts found in his lessons. A weak person seldom can endure the
hardship of school-life, the trouble of memorizing and persevering in his daily lessons. Lastly
when a student is busy with sports during recess time his ideas do not deviate any more to the
path of impurity, to think of such trivial things and the health and strength which he acquires will
help him in overcoming such temptations. Helping young children to develop good eating
patterns and enjoyment from sport and exercise may help them avoid later health problems.
Moreover, since aesthetics is becoming more and more important for all of us, we are
now striving to improve the way we look and our shape, in short: our aesthetic aspect depends a
lot on our daily activities, whether we prefer resting in front of the TV or practicing sports.
Therefore, sports not only shape our personality but our aspect as well, maintaining young and
healthy our body and mind as well.

School uniforms have become a hot topic in many areas across different countries.
Educators feel that requiring a school uniform will help students to build self-respect, discipline,
character, community and a sense of pride.
School uniforms were first seen in Europe during the early Modern Era. It was at this
time that children who attended charity schools were required to wear uniforms.
The first official school uniforms appeared during the eighteenth century in the private
schools of Europe. The schools for the wealthy dictated uniforms of different colours to show
disciplinary action. As time progressed through the 18th century, uniforms became an emblem of
the wealthy. School uniforms are still used in public school system throughout the world.
Countries that adopted the European school uniform include Asia, Australia, Caribbean,
Chili, Ecuador, New Zealand, Peru, South Africa and the United States.
The school uniform style from Italy and Spain influenced countries like Argentina,
Bolivia, Uruguay and several Middle Eastern countries. The Prussians influenced the type of
uniforms worn in Japan.
A school uniform apparently also saves students from putting their fashion tastes before
