6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions. (7
marks)
Some animals in northern countries have a way to adapt to long, cold
winter weather. It is called hibernation. Hibernation is like deep sleep.
This allows the animals to save their energy when there is no food. These
animals’ bodies go through several changes during their hibernation. For
example, the bear is the largest animal that hibernates. Its heart
normally beats 40 to 50 times per minute. When the bear is hibernating,
its heart beats only 8 to 12 times per minute. Its body temperature also
drops.
Some animals hibernate all winter without waking. Other animals wake up
now and then to eat some of the food they have stored for winter.
When the weather becomes colder in the autumn, a substance called
Hibernation Inducement Trigger (HIT) becomes active in the blood of
animals that hibernate. The HIT makes the animals start to prepare for
winter by either storing food or eating a lot to add more fat to their
bodies. This fat helps their bodies to keep warm and is a source of energy
during the animals’ hibernation.
1. In which of these countries do some animals hibernate in winter?
a. Egypt and Libya
b. South Africa and Australia
 c. Sudan and China
d. Canada and Russia
2. What does HIT stand for?
a. Hibernation Inducement Trigger
b. Hibernation In Active Temperature

6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions. (7 marks)
What inspires someone to make a new invention? Most inventors are
inspired by need. Louis Braille, who was born in 1809, lost his sight when
he was a child. However, his parents helped him to continue his education.
His teachers helped him a lot and he reached the top of his class. At the
age of ten, he was given money to study at the Royal Institution for Blind
Youth, where he started to use a simple raised-print system for
reading.
Louis Braille invented a better system based on raised dots. The dots are
put into patterns in a rectangle which has six positions for dots. The
different arrangements of the dots represent the letters of the
alphabet or other characters. There are symbols for punctuation marks
and for math and music. A blind person reads by feeling the dots with
their finger tips.
Braille writing was not well known until sixteen years after its inventor’s
death in 1852. Today, it is used in almost every country in the world and is
considered the standard form of reading and writing for the blind.

a. to make someone want to do or achieve something
b. to examine something carefully
c. to give something to somebody
d. to take away money from somebody

6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions. (7 marks)

Natural resources are materials found on the earth. They include air,
water, and land. They also include rocks, minerals, and soil. Even living
things are natural resources. Some of earth's resources can be used and
replaced over and over again. These are called renewable resources.
Others cannot be replaced quickly. These are called nonrenewable
resources.
Examples of renewable resources are fresh air, water, trees, other
living things. People cut down trees to use their wood to build and make
paper. If a tree is cut, another can be planted in its place. As it grows, it
helps supply living things with oxygen, which is another important
resource. Animals are used for food by other living things and they can
reproduce naturally.
Coal, oil, copper, silver, and gold are all examples of nonrenewable
resources. These substances and materials are available in limited
amounts and cannot be replaced quickly. Coal and oil deposits beneath the
earth formed millions of years ago. These resources are the result of the
decay of certain plants and animals. Natural resources are necessary for
life on earth. Someday these precious materials will run out. We need to
protect them by reducing, reusing, and recycling them.
