Flowering nectar bushes and the like are favourite haunts for these colourful creatures. The butterflies suck out the nectar travelling from flower to flower, carrying pollen with them, This close relationship is one of nature's finest natural cycles. (6).

This relationship is mutually advantageous as well as equally satisfying to a flower gardener and butterfly observer.

Long-lasting droughts, raging (1) floods, destructive hurricanes and other natural disasters struck in many parts of the globe at the turn of the century, Weather can change within seconds. Biting cold turns into scorching heat faster than ever. Landslides, heavy (2) rains, halls as well as earthquakes prevail in everyday news, What is really going on? What are we heading for? The major (3) symptoms of climatic transformations can be observed in the way temperatures change. The global warming is no taboo nowadays. We have all heard or read about the phenomenon (4) at some time. The global temperature is the key factor (5) in the process. |t has been on the rise for the last hundred years. Although it may appear (6) that a few-grade change will not constitute (7) any serious danger, authorities believe it to be the core (8) of the problem. As an example they give the three-degree fall in the global temperature eighteen thousand years ago, which left more than half of the globe surface covered in thick ice. So, why is it getting hotter? One theory puts a considerable (9) amount of blame (10) upon the greenhouse effect. High industrial emission of carbon-dioxide, methane as well as water vapour results in thickening atmosphere that prevents (11) the heat from moving out. Another theory refers to an increased activity of the Sun marking regular anomalies that occur (12) every hundred thousand years. However, it is the man’s activity that adds much to the problem. So far, people have not devised (13) a way to influence the forces of weather. Some have tried changing the route of a tornado over the Mexican Gulf, which proved to be unfeasible (14) against its overwhelming forces. An attempt at setting off (15) a rainfall by means of a chemical missile failed, too. Only local climates can be influenced and regulated to some extent (16). Building dams and reservoirs as well as planting trees may help improve (17) humidity in a small area. itis rather unlikely that glaciers will melt soon and flood vast areas, however the global climate is undoubtedly (18) undergoing rapid and disturbing transformations. It is expected that there is more to come. What we are in for are freezing cold winters, heavy rainfalls and even more severe (19) droughts. There can be more volcanic eruptions and snowfalls in hot countries. Doesn't it all look like the earth is beginning to take its revenge (20) upon us? 35. a)violent b)messy c)wild d)anxious e) courageous a) mild b) torrential c)pouring d) slender ) grave . a) sufficient b) astounding c)chief dd) crucial e) vital . a)incident b) capacity c)estate d) device @) occurrence a) plot b) circumstance c) resolution d) aspect e) pattern a) forecast b)seem c)presume d) observe e) envision a)oblige b)include c)regard d) acknowledge ) make up a)trap b)jessence c)pledge d)spot e) centre 9, a) substantial b)large c)reasonable d) faire) endless 10. a) liability b) involvement c) guilt d) strain) responsibility 11, a) affects b)hinders c) restrains d) imprisons e) issues 12, a)come about b)bringin c)setout d)doup take over 13. a)revealed b)conceived c)workedout d) supplied ) created 14, a)relentless b) inaccessible c)impossible d)impracticable e) undone 415. a) stimulating b) enforcing c) initiating d) solving) concealing 16. a)power b)scope c)remark d)range ) scheme 17. a)amend b)release c)preceed d)refresh e) dispose 18. a) fortunately ) neglectfully c) definitely d) unlikely) doubtless 19. a)extreme b)harsh c)fierce d)merciless ) abundant 20. a) compensation b) retaliation c) abuse d)pay-back ) injury SBytO9ArRwna Il, Put the verbs in brackets in the correct form.

From the Mongolian steppes, the horsemen of Genghis Khan rode out to conquer the Great Empire. They travelled across a vast grassland that stretched from Mongolia to the Pacific. In eastern Mongolia, the steppe still remains intact. Deep beneath, there are valuable gold and oil reserves. The challenge |s to find ways of preserving one of the world's last wildernesses. The eastern steppe of Mongolia is sparsely populated and for a good reason; it is a harsh environment with constant wind, freezing winters and fiercely hot summers. Here, a thinly spread human population coexists. with animals and birds numbering in millions. The Mongolians have a fondness for limitless space, Economic development threatens the habitat that is home to numerous rare species like the black stork and the Przhevalski's horse, This kind of habitat, once widespread, is now largely spoilt in neighbouring China and Russia, Covering three hundred thousand square miles, which is approximately the size of Japan, the eastern steppes of Mongolia are the last unspoilt and continuous grassland ecosystem in the northern hemisphere. Somewhere between the forests of Siberia and the Gobi dessert, the Mongolian steppes are home to a proud race of traditionally semi- nomadic people who stand at the cross-roads between old and new. Here, the people constitute the inherent, organic part of nature. They never talk about taking something from nature or conquering it, they are a part of it and this is how they survive in this harsh climate. Mongolian nomads traditionally had no concept of the ownership of land. The grasslands have always been shared by all. For researchers, the grassland is a treasure because of its still unclassified plants and species which might once become a cure for some of the scourges of the planet like malaria, HIV or cancer. Mongols have always lived close to the earth supplementing what they can harvest from their herds with hunting for food and skins. They traditionally move their herds and their homes at least twice each year to reduce the impact on the land. This is why they have preserved the nature of Mongolia in a relatively undamaged condition. Central to Mongols nomadic life is the horse. Here, children learn to ride before they learn to walk, which later develops inte a life-long love between people and horses. To Mongols, horses represent the well-being status as well as a good means of transportation. After years of political isolation, the appeal of traditions and undisturbed nature of Mongolia is nowadays opening up for unavoidable influences of civilization. The endless horizon, the peace and simplicity of the Mongolian steppe for many constitute an irresistible challenge, a call to alter and shape the nature of the grasslands to benefit people. 801 They rode out from the Mongolian steppes.
