Dear Frodi,
It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill, for your brother told me

mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I
know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a

Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Materials
ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic spoons, can be recycled. The recycling
process reclaims the original material and uses it in new products.
In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy than using new
materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for high-pollution alternatives or by
minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing process.
Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office paper. The most
commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old newspapers are collected and searched for
contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil. The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot
water and turned into pulp in a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to
remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper fibers and fl
oats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed
with new wood fibers to be made into paper again.
Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month. Every ton of paper
that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m ( about 50 cu ft ) of landfill space. One ton of recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood
trees ( trees used to produce paper)
28. The following things can be recycled, EXCEPT….
A. Precious metals
B. Broken glass
C. Old newspapers
D. Plastic spoons
E. Fresh vegetables and fruits
29. Which of the following is NOT the benefit of recycling?
A. It costs much money for the process of recycling
B. B. It costs less to make new products
C. C. It requires less energy
D. D. It can reduce pollution
E. E. It reduces the demand for high-pollution alternatives
30. What is the third step of recycling paper products?
A. Collect and search for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminium foil
B. Mix the paper with hot water in a blender which turns it into pulp
C. Screen and filter the pulp to remove smaller contaminants
D. Put the pulp to a large vat to separate the ink from the paper fibres
E. Mix the pulp with new wood fibres to be made into paper again

This text for questions number 34 to 35
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.

A. By fermenting the beans.
