On one corner of my dresser sits a smiling toy clown on a tiny unicycle–a gift I
received last year from a close friend. The clown’s short yellow hair, made of yarn,
covers its ears but is parted above the eyes. The blue eyes are outlined in black with
thin, dark lashes. It has cherry-red cheeks, nose, and lips, and its grin disappears into
the white ruffle around its neck. The clown wears a nylon costume. The left side of
the outfit is light blue, and the right side is red. The two colors merge in a dark line.
The white spokes on the wheels of the unicycle gather in the center and expand to
the black tire so that the wheel somewhat resembles the inner half of a grapefruit.
The clown and unicycle together stand about a foot high. As a cherished gift from
my good friend, this colorful figure greets me with a smile every time I enter my
room.

Mexico. Equipped with horses, shining armor, and the most advanced weapons
of the sixteenth century, he fought his way from the flat coastal area into the

groups in Mexico had mined large amounts of the precious metal. First, he
conquered the groups and then seized their precious gold. His method was very
organized.
Initially, Cortez defeated the Tiascalans, and then formed an alliance with
them to defeat the Aztecs, their enemies. Because of an Aztec prophecy about
the return of Quetzecoad a legendary god-king who was light skinned and

Severe storms happen in low-pressure weather systems. Warm, wet air begins rising
into the air. The higher it rises, the cooler it becomes. Water vapor in the air forms
drops, a process called condensation. The drops join together to form clouds, and then
precipitation of some kind (rain, sleet, snow, or hail) will fall down to Earth’s surface.
Although conditions must be very specific for a thunderstorm to develop,
thunderstorms remain the most common kind of extreme weather. Before a
thunderstorm can develop, there have to be three conditions present: the air has to be
full of moisture, there must be either an intensely heated portion of Earth’s surface
sending warm air up quickly or an approaching cold front, and the warm air that is
rising must be warm enough to stay warmer than the air it passes through as it rises. The
moisture in the rising air condenses, clouds form and a storm begins.
A cold front happens when cold air is moving near the surface of Earth, and it
pushes warm air up very quickly. This is often the beginning of a thunderstorm. Clouds
form, and heavy rains begin falling. Opposite electrical charges inside storm clouds
separate, causing lightning to flash towards Earth. Lightning has enough energy to heat
the air all around it. This sudden burst of heat is what causes the noise we know as
thunder. Thunderstorms often bring disasters with them, including floods, fires caused
by lightning, damage from hailstones or strong winds, and even tornadoes.

Earthquake is a shaking of the ground caused by the sudden breaking and shifting of
large sections of the earth's rocky outer shell. Earthquakes are among the most
powerful events on earth, and their results can be terrifying. A severe earthquake may
release energy 10,000 times as great as that of the first atomic bomb. Rock movements
during an earthquake can make rivers change their course. Earthquakes can trigger
landslides that cause great damage and loss of life. Large earthquakes beneath the
ocean can create a series of huge, destructive waves called tsunamis that flood coasts.
Earthquakes almost never kill people directly. Instead, many deaths and injuries in
earthquakes result from falling objects and the collapse of buildings, bridges, and other
structures. Fire resulting from broken gas or power lines is another major danger during
a quake. Spills of hazardous chemicals are also a concern during an earthquake. In
most earthquake zones, land-use planners and engineers design new housing and other
building projects, such as bridges and dams, to reduce property damage, injuries, and
loss of life during quakes.
47 The topic of the passage is……………
a. The types of earthquake
b. The danger of earthquake
c. The characteristics of earthquake
d. The countries under earthquake attack

Ned Kelly – Guilty or Innocent
This project has been based on a computer program about the trial of Ned
Kelly which gave us the evidence used in the original trial. After examining a number
of incidents, we come to the conclusion that Ned Kelly was treated unfairly as he only
committed half the crimes he was accused of.
In the Fitzpatrick incident, Ned was charged with the attempted murder of
Constable Fitzpatrick. We believe that Ned was not guilty as Fitzpatrick’s story is not
believable because he contradicted himself, he had just been to the pub and we think
that the wounds he had on his arm were not from bullet shots (which Fitzpatrick
claimed) but from a broken glass which he might have been drinking his brandy in;
and finally, he was kicked out of the police force later on because of his reputation for
lying.
In the Stringybark Creek incident, Ned was charged with the wildful murder
of Constable Lonigan, Scanlon and Kennedy. Ned resisted arrest and had to shoot
Lonigan three times. Kelly says that it was not murder but self-defense and he gave
Lonigan a chance to surrender. We feel the McIntyres’s evidence is weak. He said
that the bullets came from the back and not from the front. Dr. Nicholson finds the
opposite, stating that Lonigan stood his ground and met Ned on equal terms.
In our opinion, we say that Ned is guilty for half the things he did but received
an unfair trial. He shouldn’t have been hung publicly but given a long imprisonment.
54. The author’s attitude towards Ned Kelly is..........
a. Helpful c. Assertive
b. Cautious d. Supportive
55. According to the passage, how many people were probably killed by Kelly?
a. 1 c. 3
b. 2 d. 4
56. The word “it” in the sentence “..........it was not murder but self defense....” refers
to..........
a. Shooting c. Defending
b. Arresting d. Murdering
