          My favourite thing is aquarium. It is a place in
which aquatic plants and animals, particularly fish,
are kept. The term is applied to single tanks for
home use in which fish are kept for their decorative
effect and interesting habits
and to public institutions with tanks for exhibition
and scientific study of aquatic life.
          I make home aquariums to simulate a natural
environment. Aquatic plants supply the oxygen
needed by the fish, but often an aerating device is
used to furnish additional oxygen. Goldfish enjoy
cool water, but the popular
tropical fish must have water at a constant
temperature of 22°C (72°F) or more. I must keep the
water pure and free of algae for long periods by
sufficient aeration and by keeping mollusks in the
aquarium. A layer of sand or gravel at
the bottom of the tank will hold the roots of such
important aquatic plants as tape grass, vallisneria
spiralis, and aid in the removal of debris. My home
aquariums range in size from small fishbowls holding
two or three pets to huge
tanks.
11. To give additional oxygen, ... is used in a home
aquarium.
A. a natural environment
B. aquatic plants
C. an aerating device
D. a layer of sand
E. a cool water
12. Which is not needed to stimulate a natural
environment in a home aquarium?
A. Putting aquatic plants in the aquarium
B. Using a suitable aerating device
C. Keeping mollusks in the aquarium
D. Removing the debris regularly
E. Keep the constant temperature for particular fish.
13.  What is the above passage about?
A. The writer's home aquariums
B. A natural environment
C. Making an aquarium
D. Aquatic plants and animals
E. Kind of fish in the sea

          Yesterday night was the night of the fair, the
following day was holiday. The children at Tim's
school were really excited. They ran down the path
out of school as fast as they could. Tim ran all the
way home, and changed into
his jeans and sneakers. He ate his dinner quickly, and
sat at the window waiting for his dad to come. He
couldn't wait for six o'clock when the fair would
begin. He had been saving his pocket money for
weeks.
          When Tim and his family arrived at the fair, it
had just opened. Already there were crowds of
people swarming around food stalls, displays and
dozens of rides. "Can I buy some chips and a drink?"
asked Tim.
          "Okay" sad Tim's dad. "But hang on tightly to
your wallet. There are a lot of people around." "I'll
be fine', said Tim impatiently.
          He found a food stall, and ordered his food.
When the man brought his chips and drink, without
thinking, Tim put his wallet on the counter and
picked up his food and drink. When he glanced back,
his wallet had vanished! Tim
desperately looked around him, but it was no use. All
his pocket money was gone.
