Repeat the underlined words, listen to the paragraphs while you read them silently, and complete the sentences which follow the reading. SOLIDS People, animals, plants, the oceans, the sun, the moon, etc., are different forms of what scientists call matter. Everything consists of matter. We can easily recognize certain states of matter. We can see and touch solids, like rock, wood, plastic and iron, and liguids, like milk, gasoline, and coffee. Gases can't be easily seen, but we can feel air, which is a nixture of gases, moving during windy days. Full of Air Vacuum fod i We know that liquids, solids, and gases have weight. A container full of air weighs more than it does when the air is removed and a acuum is created. Therefore, we can say that matter has weight. Matter takes up space, so we can also say that matter occupies space. The amount of space occupied by matter is called volume. Matter exist in many different shapes: people, animals, water, etc. What makes these forms of matter different? For one thing, matter is d_of different elements. Elements are the purest* of those substances which make up matter. A11 matter consists of these elements. You are probably familiar with many elements. Some of them are solids, such as copper, gold, and ion; and some are gases, such as oxygen and hydrogen. correR %puré = not mixed Complete the 5 in the reading ntences orally with some of the underlined words 1. ‘his classroom, the chalkboard, the students, etc., are mado up of _ : 2.

Matter ____ in many forms. are the purest of the substances which make ip matter. aa see ___ and oxygen are the two elements water is made up of. HEAY MAKES MOLECULES MOVE FAS'TER. Repeat the underlined words, read the paragraphs silently, and answer the questions which follow. @ an oxygen atom a hydrogen atom Elements are made up of identical* atoms. Atoms are also made up of smaller parti sles; however, these tiny particles cannot be separated by ordinary chemical methods. Atoms of different elements combine to make different substances. The smallest possible part of a substance is a molecule. A molecule of water is made up of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. Matter can be converted from one form to another through the action of heat. When a solid becomes very hot, its molecules move faster and faster until it turns into a liquid. If the temperature of a liquid is raised high enough, the liquid becomes a gas. Water is a good example. When we heat ice (the solid state of water), it melts into a liquid. If we continue heating the liquid, it will evaporate or turn into a gas which is called steam or vapor. identical ~ exactly the same Answer these questions about the reading. What are molecules made up of? What are very small parts called? What does the word "tiny" mean? what is the smallest possible part of a substance? Can a substance change from one state to another? What happens when you leave ice cream out of the refrigerator? How does the sun affect sea water? What is the neme of water in the form of a gas? CLOUDS ARE COMPOSED OF WATER VAPOR.

The topic sentence of a paragraph states the main idea of the paragraph. In each topic sentence is a connective or transition, which signals the paragraph's relationship to the main idea of the reading or to the other paragraphs in the reading. Examples of connective words include first, second, last, before, after, another, next, then, in addition to, and also: Read the paragraphs; then underline the connective word(s) in ‘them. The earth has four important regions. First in importance are forests which provide the oxygen that animals and people need to breathe. By changing gases in the air into clean oxygen, forests provide us with a substance which is necessary for life. Forests also provide protected living space and food for thousands of different kinds of birds, insects, and animals. In addition, the floor of a forest absorbs rain, which is slowly released into rivers. In addition to forests, grasslands provide basic things for life. Grasslands are areas which are covered with grass. Many people live in these areas because there is grass for their animals to eat, and it's also easy to grow plants for food for ‘themselves. People have learned how to bring water to grasslands to grow plants for food without depending on the natural rainfall. Then there are mountains, high areas which have beon lifted up by forces inside the earth. Because conditions are so severe, fewer people live in mountain regions. People can't live or work easily at higher altitudes since it is more difficult to breathe. Very few food plants can be grown at the higher elevations, but some animals can be successfully raised in the mountains. Last of all are the deserts. ‘There is not much rain and few plants can grow. Strong sunshine and winds are characteristic of deserts. There are low, dry deserts covered with sand and small xocks like the Sahara in northern Africa. There are cooler, mountainous, dry deserts like the Atacama in Chile. ‘here are also ice deserts in the Arctic and Antarctic regions which havo freezing temperatures. Although 24% of the earth's land is desert, only 4% of the earth's population lives in desert areas. 10 y Vocabulary THE ATMOSPHERE Repeat the underlined words; then read the paragraphs silently. The atmosphere is an ocean of air which surrounds the earth. It consists mostly of nitrogen and oxygen, but there are other gases present such as hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The atmosphere also contains a large amount of water vapor which has evaporated from oceans, lakes, and rivers. a The atmosphere is divided into different layers. whe first layer reaches an altitude of about 10 kilometers (6 miles). This layer is also the richest in oxygen, and the heaviest. It is here where many living things exist. We have already mentioned that air has weight. This weight is called atmospheric pressure. Although we're not aware of it, it presses down on every living thing. ted at the lowest part of the atmosphere, which is at sea level. Atmospheric pressure can be measured with barometer an instrument calied a barometer. WHAT SURROUNDS THE EARTH? Answer these questions about the reading. 1. What do we call the ocean of air surrounding the earth? 2. Which two gases are the major components of the atmosphere? 3. What are some of the other gases that are also present? 4, What is the atmosphere divided into? How high is the first layer? 6. What is tho weight of the air called? 7. What does it do? 8. Where is atmospheric pressure higher? 9. Where is the lowest part of the atmosphere? 10. What instrument is used to measure atmospheric pressure? AIR HAS MANY USES. Ext Repeat the underlined words. Then read the paragraphs silently, and answer the questions. ‘The oxygen in the atmosphere makes combustion possible. Breathing is part of a combustion process, or chemical change, which takes place in our bodies. after the air is inhaled, the lungs send oxygen through the blood to all parts of the bedy. carbon dioxide, a result of combustion, s collected by the blood, taken to the lungs, and e: inhaling causes the chest to expand. ‘this expansion of the lungs helps a swimmer oat on the water. 13 The air in the atmosphere is put to many uses. Air is compressed and put in car tires. Compressed air is used as the driving force in some mechanical devices, such as certain types of drills. A vacuum, in which air is absent, is also used. The ight bulb and the familiar vacuum cleaner are two examples of ‘this use. ONE LETTER AT A TIME Read the synonym or definition, and write the words on the lines. ae He to enlarge 2.

Write your time in the box. ‘Then answer the questions after the reading. Begin when your instructor tells you to. TIME SCORE WORDS-PER-MINUTE People need to be prepared to act with intelligence in emergencies. For example, do you know what to do if someone you are with chokes on a piece of food or swallows something poisonous? When someone swallows poison, you should first look for the poisonous substance itself, such as a plant or spoiled food, or for the container which held it, such as a pill bottle or a’can of insecticide. When you find 4 container, read the label on it. Next, call your local Poison Control Center or a doctor and be prepared to give them the following informatio! ~ what kind of poison was swallowed - how much was swallowed - when it was swallowed ~ the person's age - his or her symptoms ~ whether or not he or she has vomited* - how long it will take you to get to an emergency room Follow ali the instructions the person at the Poison Control Center or the doctor gives you. If you can't contact a Poison Control Center, you will have to decide whether or not to make the person vomit. Read the label for advice. As a rule, you should make the person vomit *to vomit: to bring up the contents of the stomach 18 pills or medicines, spoiled food, any plant part, alcohol, and animal poisons. He or she should not be made to vomit chemicals, cleaning products or gasoline products, as these will burn the lips, mouth, and throat. When the person vomits, make sure his head is lower than his chest so he doesn't choke, ‘He should lie with his head over the edge of a bed. Make the person vomit into a container and take dt with you to the hospital. The doctor wili want to know exactly what the poison is and how much is still in the person's stomach. The third thing to remember is that some poisons can be absorbed through the skin, so if the person's clothes have been soaked with insect poison, for example, be sure to remove the clothing and wash any affected skin with soap and water. If you come in contact with the poison, wash yourself, too. Fourth, take the person to a doctor or an emergency room as quickly as possible. Also take the pill bottle, plant, poison container, spoiled food, and any vomited material with you so it can be tested. While you're driving to an emergency room or waiting for an ambulance, keep the person calm. Make the person lie on his side to keep his airway (entrance to lungs) open if he vomits.

A new computer course is being offered. 22 he Function FACTS ABOUT THE ATMOSPHERE Read the questions and answers. Then with your book closed, make a statement using the facts you've learned about the topic. what are some facts about the lowest layor of the atmosphere? It's called the troposphere, and it has an altitude of about 10 kilometers. The word “tropos" means change. Most of the great changes in weather, pressure, and water vapor take place in this layer. 2. What is the weight of the atmosphere? The total weight is something like 5,200, 000,000,000,000* metric tons** which means that each square centimeter of the earth's surface supports one kilogram of pressure. 3. Why is there a difference in air pressure at sea level and at the top of a mountain? Because there are fewer molecules of air the higher you go. In other words, the air density is lower in the higher elevations. 4. What makes the sky blue? Tiny dust particles and gas molecules in the atmosphere break up and scatter (spread) sunlight into the various colors of which it is composed. The blue part of sunlight is usually scattered more than the other colors. 5. What are some facts about the mercurial barometer? It's an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure. It consists of a tube with one end closed. It's filled with mercury and put in a bowl upside down. he mercury in the tube drops only as much as the pressure applied to the surface of the mercury permits it to drop. (The atmospheric pressure does not let the liquid drop down completely.) ® yead: § quadrillion, 200 trillion &* metric ton = 1,000 kilograms 23 WHAT ARE SOME FACTS ABOUT BREATHING? Your instructor will assign you two items from the list. Copy each on a separate piece of paper. Close your book after you finish. Answers: 1. You breathe enough air each day to fill 13,000 milk bottles. 2, ‘The 2 complimentary movements, inhaling and exhaling, are repeated approximately 18 times overy minute for as long as we live. 3. Carbon dioxide is harmful to the body only when it is allowed to accumulate indefinitely. 4, The presence of carbon dioxide in the air actually causes the lungs to breathe. This gas affects the respiratory* nerve center and causes movement in the muscles which control breathing. 5. Nitrogen is the third gas contained in the blood. It doesn't take part in the chemical changes that take place ir ‘the body. 6. The nitrogen in the blood might cause trouble only if the person breathes air which is under pressure. Then it may lead to a sickness called "decompression iliness." 7. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in small "bags" called "alveoli," which are in the lungs. 8. Oxygen is necessary for all body functions because cells obtain most of their energy from chemical reactions involving oxygen. 9. Arteries carry blood away from the heart, while veins carry blood to the heart. 10. The nose functions like a filter, and like a humidifier. It keeps dust particles out of the lungs, and it gives some of its humidity to the air before it enters the lungs. *respiratory = of breathing 24 Questions: a. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.

When we speak, our voices do the same thing. In English, we use three basic levels for our voices when we speak. All sentences, whether they are statements or questions, begin at Level 2. This is our normal level for speaking. From this level, our voices can go up or down, depending on whether we make a statement or ask a question. The rising and lowering of our voices when we speak is called intonation. In English, two basic intonation patterns are those for statements and yes-or-no questions. The statement pattern is used for the answers to yes-or-no questions. Look at the statement below and the intonation pattern. Notice that the first part of the sentence begins at Level 2, our nozmal level for speaking, and continues until it reaches the primary sentence stress. At this point, there is a rising intonation to Level 3 and then a falling intonation to Level 1. This 2-3-1 falling pattern is the normal pattern for statements. He's studying English. 2 3a He's studying /Eng\lish. \ \ Another basic pattern is the rising yes-or-no question pattern. Look at the question below. For a yes-or-no question, your voice begins on Level 2 and continues until it reaches the primary sentence stress. At this point, there is a rising intonation to Level 3 that continues to the end of the sentence. ‘This 2-3-3 rising pattern is the signal for a yes-or-no question. Are you going to study tonight? 2 3 3 Are you going to study /tonight? 7 32 Look at the sentences below. Listen to your instructor ask the yes-or-no question and then give the answer.

A bathyscaphe is a kind of pressurized chamber which goos underwater, deap into the ocean. A bathyscaphe must be airtight and have very strong walls, because the deep ocean exerts great pressure against it. Scientists use the bathyscephe to look at the ocean floor and to photograph fish and other life forms which live far below sea level. Scientists can look at the ocean which surrounds them through tiny, thick, round windows. There are lights attached to the outside of the bathyscaphe because the deep ocean is completely dark. Sunlight reaches only the top layer of the ocean. It gets darker, and the pressure gets greater the farther jown it 1s. Working in a bathyscaphe is uncomfortable, A person breathes in an artificially pressurized atmosphere. There isn't much space to move around in, either, because the interior is full of instruments, gauges, and operating controls. Working in a bathyscaphe can also be scary. The surrounding ocean squeezes against the outside of the bathyscaphe. Tf a seal 3k the window started to leak, the bathyscaphe would £111 up with water and the operators inside would drown. é / ¥ pathyscaphe = pronounced bath- 1 -skaf an the bathyscaphe was designed by a Swiss scientist, Auguste Piccard.

What is the emergency treatment given to a person who is injured or suddenly gets sick? What can a person who is injured or killed be called? In case of an accident or sudden iliness, what should we follow? How are the steps done? What should one do first? What should you do while you wait? How do you determine what has happened? What do you do with your plan? What two things should not be done if the victim is unconscious? What should the victim be conscious of? Are the treatments for cuts and broken bones the same? 48 IN _ Aw There are two things which need to be accomplished when treating wounds: 1) control of the bleeding, and 2) protection of the wound from contact with anything which might infect it. The initial step should be to wash your hands if possible. If the bleeding is not severe, proceed to wash the wound with soap and water. Next, the wound should be covered with a bandage. If the bleeding is severe, apply direct pressure to the wound. Place a clean cloth on the wound, and hold it firmly in place. If the cloth becomes soaked, do not remove it. Put additional clean cloths on top of the old one. Apply continuous pressure until the bleeding stops. Sometimes it's necessary to apply pressure to the vein or artery that was wounded at the same time that fixm or steady pressure is being applied to the wound. Elevate the injured part of the body so that it is higher than the heart. 49 Answer these questions using the underlined words. Le 10. When treating cuts, what needs to be accomplished?

What do we call the small tubes inside the body through which blood flows? What is the word that means "unchanging", as in “unchanging pressure"? What should be put higher than the heart? 50 FRACTURES. A fracture is a break in a bone. Whenever a serious accident occurs, look for fractures. ‘There are two kinds of fractures: closed and open. A closed fracture occurs without an open wound. An open fracture includes a wound which may expose the broken bone. Open fractures are more serious because of the added danger of infection. Stop the bleeding by applying pressure above the wound to the vein or artery between the wound and the heart. Put a bandage on the wound to prevent infection. The movement of broken bones should be completely restricted to prevent more damage to the muscles and nerves. Make a splint using a flat, thin board, a magazine, or a newspaper and place it along the fracture. Then tie it in place with a long, narrow piece of cloth. Be sure the fracture is secure by the time the victim is transported to the hospital. SL Answer these questions using the underlined words. 1. What do we call the injury in which a bone is cracked or broken? 2. When do you look for fractures? 3. What is an open fracture? 4. what is the most important thing to do for a fracture? 5.

HEIMLICH MANEUVER Read the following paragraphs silently as quickly as you can. Write your time in the box. Then answer the questions after the reading. Begin when your instructor tel1s you to. TIME SCORE WORDS-PER-MINUTE, 81 If you see someone who has been eating or a child who has been playing with small objects suddenly collapse, start to cough, become unable to talk, experience difficulty breathing, or show the international choking signal, that person is choking. He has something stuck in his throat and needs first aid immediately. Do not try to look into or pull any object out of a choking person's mouth. First aid in this situation would be to hit the person on the back and perform the Heimlich Maneuver. Choking occurs most frequently while a person is eating. It sometimes happens to adults who eat (especially meat) and talk at the same time. If it seems to you that a person is choking, but he or she ean still breathe and cough, be alert and ready to help if the situation gets worse. However, remember that the person's own coughing is more effective than what you, as a person giving first aid, can do. If the person can speak, do not give first aid. This type of first aid is meant for persons who are unable to speak. The first step in forcing out something which is stuck in a person's throat is to support his chest with one hand and have him bend forward. His head must be lower than his chest. Hit him four times in the center of his back between his shoulders. You should hit hard enough to force the food or object in his throat loose. If the person is still choking, the second step is to perform the Heimlich Maneuver. To do this you must stand behind him and put your arms around his lower chest. with both hands, pull in forcefully, squeezing in against the area between his shirt pockets and belt. Squeeze in and up forcefully four times. Reduce the force of your squeezes if you are performing the Heimlich Maneuver on a small woman or child, so that you don't break any bones. If the person continues to choke, keep on giving first aid. Repeat the first two steps again and again until the object or food stuck in the person's throat is forced out and normal breathing or coughing begins. Don't give up; it may be necessary to hit the person on the back and perform the Heimlich Maneuver several times before you are successful. If you are alone and choking, you can perform the Heimlich Maneuver on yourself. Answer these questions. 1. Choking means to have : a. swallowed something poisonous which can kill you b. been in a collision and to be in need of firs c. something stuck in your throat so you can't breathe 82 10.
