brother. She brought along her baby son. When it was time for her to leave, her brother said “ it
is getting dark. Let my son, Ah Tim go with you though the forest.”
 So Ah Tim led the way and the young woman followed behind, carrying her baby. When
they were in the forest, suddenly they saw a group of wolves. They began to run to avoid the
danger, but Ah Tim kicked against a stone and fell down. At once the wolves caught him. The
young woman cried to the wolves, “ please eat my own son instead.” Then, she put her baby son
on the ground in front of the wolves and took her nephew away.

Everyone understood that this was because the woman was very good and kind. She had
offered her own son’s life to save her nephew.

Skateboarding
Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for
skateboarders to skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active, energetic
and adventurous pastime.
Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters
speeding up and down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and old ladies can
be knocked down as they struggle home carrying their cat food from supermarkets.
Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young people’s health. It increases
fitness, improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles. Although it
appears to be a solo sport, when groups practice together and compete to perform
stunts or runs they form firm friendships.
Young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch potatoes. If
they are actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws for
fun.
Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s,
360s and Ollie’s free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so
that streets are safe for small children and senior citizens and skaters have spaces
where they can race, chase, speed, and soar towards the sun.

Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this
article we’ll enter the amazing world of chocolate so you can understand
exactly what you’re eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in
equatorial regions, especially in places such as South America, Africa, and
Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pine
apple. Inside the fruit are the tree’s seeds, also known as cocoa beans.
The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then
shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the
beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans from different places have
different qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted and blended to produce
a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing
removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then, the nibs are
blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called
chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat, and
cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is
why the ground nibs form liquid. It’s pure bitter chocolate.

32. The text is about …

A. the cacao tree
B. the cacao beans
C. the raw chocolate
D. the making of chocolate
E. the flavour of chocolate
33. How does the chocolate maker start to make chocolate?

Advertisements
There are many reasons for both sides of the question, "Should we have printed
advertisement'?" Many people have strong views and feel that ads are nothing
more than useless junk mail, while other people feel it is important source
information.

There are some reasons why we should have advertisement in newspaper and
magazines. One reason is ads give us information about what is available. Looking
at ads we can find out what is on sale and what is new in the market. This is an
easy way of shopping. Another reason is that advertisement promotes business.
When shop owners compete against each other the buyer saves money, more
people come to their shops and they sell more goods.

On the other hand, some people argue that ads should not be put in newspapers
andmagazines for these various reasons. Firstly, ads cost the shopkeepers a lot of
money to printonto paper. Also some people don't like finding junk mail in their
letter boxes. Ads alsoinfluence people to buy items they don't need and can't really
afford. Ads use up a lot of space and a lot of effort has to be made the ads eye-
catching.

After looking at both sides of issue, I think we should not have advertisements
because they cost a lot of money and take up a lot of room in the papers. I don't
think I find some of them interesting. I mainly disagree because it's junk mail.

34. Why does the writer present two sides of opinions of advertisement?
A. She/He wants to take side
B. She/He wants to be in the affirmative side
C. She/He uses the opinions to emphasize
D. She/He wants the readers know the opinion about the issue
E. She/He wants the readers to understand her stance
35. The writer influences the readers by repeatedly saying that ….
A. The ads are only garbage
B. The ads contain unimportant business information
C. The ads promote unnecessary service products
D. The ads inform us tips of easy shopping
E. The ads become the source of information

There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which
are commonly used may cause many problems. I think combining different
management operations is the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the
environment and in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality
of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that
newer and stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish
and bees. This affects the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides
should be chosen and applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological
balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option
to fight pest in agriculture and livestock.

36. Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides used?

A. Plants
B. Ecology
C. Animals.
D. Environment.
E. Human Beings

37. What can you say about paragraph two and four?
A. The fourth paragraph supports the idea stated in paragraph two.
B. Both paragraphs tell about the disadvantages of using pesticides.
C. Both paragraphs tell about how pesticides affect the quality of farm products.
D. The statement in paragraph is contrary to the statement in paragraph four.
E. The second paragraph tells about the effects of using pesticides on animals mentioned in
paragraph four.

38. One of the disadvantages of using chemical pesticides is …

A. killing fish and bees.
B. increasing crops productivity.
C. creating balanced ecosystem.
 D. causing the pests to become inactive
E. helping reduce pollutants in the environment.

39. Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. (paragraph 3). The word resistant
in the sentence above means …

“A Thousand Years,” from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 Soundtrack, is
melodramatic and very pretty song about love. “A Thousand Years” follows in the
musical footsteps of Christina Perri’s smash debut single “Jar of Hearts,” as both songs
feature an instrument-rich arrangement filled with piano and strings, along with Perri’s
pretty, plaintive vocals. While this single isn’t especially original, it’s still a satisfying
listen for anyone who loves a good ballad.

“A Thousand Years” isn’t the greatest song ever, but it’s nice. Perri’s vocals aren’t up
there with Amy Lee or Kelly Clarkson, but she’s good and has a sweet way of
singing. The lyric of the song demonstrate unconditional, everlasting love. Everyone
want to be loved for by someone for a thousand years!

41. What does the text tell us about?

1. The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into
small pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the
 mouth. Saliva contain digestive juices which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed
easily.
2. Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to build up new
cells and replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into
substances that can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This
process is called digestion.
3. In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi
(microscopic branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the
bloodstream.
4. From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into stomach.
Here, the food is mixed with juices secreted by the cells in stomach for several hours.
Then the food enters the small intestine. All time the muscular walls of the intestine are
squeezing, mixing and moving the onwards.
