This text is for question 20 - 23
London, the capital city of England, has been one
the major cities in Europe for many centuries. Because of
its long history, it has many old buildings. The historical
center of London is now a relatively small area still known
as the City which covers only about 2.6 square km. The
city is capitalized, to distinguish it from the large
metropolis. This is where London began as a Roman
colonial town around AD 50, at the point where the
Romans built the first bridge in London.
Today, this area is one of the worlds leading
financial centers. Most of the financial activities are
crowded along Thread Needle Steel, near the intersection
known as the Bank, which includes the huge bank of
England complex, the Royal Exchange, and the Stock
Exchange.
The permanent residential population of the City is
now less than 6,000, but about 350,000 commute here
daily to work. The only large residential portion of the City
is the Barbican Center, a concrete complex of towers,
parking garages, and pedestrian walkways, located on the
northern edge of the city.
The Barbican was built to replace older buildings
destroyed in World Was II ( 1943 1945), when the
Germans heavily bombed London.

The Lion and the Mouse
Once when a Lion was asleep, a little mouse
began running up and own upon him, this soon woke
the lion, who placed his huge paw upon the mouse,
and opened his big jaws to swallow him.
Pardon me, O king, cried the little mouse,
Forgive me this time, I shall not forget it, who knows,
but I may be able to do you a good turn, because of
these days ?
The lion was so tickled at the idea of the
mouse being able to help him that he lifted up his tail
and let him go. Sometimes when the lion was caught
in a trap, and some hunters, who wanted to catch him
alive to the King, tied him on a tree while they
prepared a wagon to carry him in. Just when the little
Mouse happened to pass by, after seeing the sad

undetectable far out in the ocean, but once it reaches
shallow water, this fast-traveling wave grows very large.
Tsunamis occur when a major fault under the
ocean floor suddenly slips. The displaced rock pushes
water above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful
waves at the ocean surface. The ocean waves spread out
from the vicinity of the earthquake source and move
across the ocean until they reach the coastline, where their
height increases as they reach the continental shelf, the
part of the Earths crust that slopes, or rises, from the

Gold is a precious metal. Gold is used as
ornaments or as money.
Gold is found in many places, but in a small
supply. It is often found on the surface of the earth. Since
gold is a heavy substance, it is sometimes found loose on
the bottom of rivers. The gold is found together with sand
and rocks, and must be separated from them. It is simple
to search for this type of gold.
It is not usually necessary to drill for gold, but
when a layer of gold is located deep below the surface of
the earth, it is possible to drill a hole into the ground.
Engineers have developed modern processes for
removing gold from rocks.
Since gold is not very hard, it is sometimes melted
and added to other substances for making rings, coins and
art objects. It will be priced forever because it is beautiful,
rare and useful.

a. Gold.

Death penalty for serious criminals has been
discussed by our experts. Those who agree say that
death penalty will scare the criminals off. However,
those who disagree say that it is inhuman, not
effective and we cannot correct the wrong sentence
after the criminal die.
In Switzerland, this penalty does not exist.
Most people argue that the possibly of making the
wrong decision is always there although it is true that
spending life behind the bars is not easy either. Also,
every person should have a chance for rehabilitation.
In this way he or she can start all over again in
another life style.
Those who agree argue that there is no use
to feed the terrorists in prison with their money. When
they get out, they will create a lot of trouble by
blackmailing and killing people. So, who says that
