result in flooding of the downstream area, even in dry weather

Water

Pure water lacks taste and smell. All living things need water in order to
survive. Forty to ninety percent of the weight of all organisms is water. The human
body uses to remove wastes and transport nutrients throughout the body.
Ancient philosophers thought of water as a true building block by which all
other liquids are measured. Until the late eighteenth century when a British chemist
by the name Cavendish made by using a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. We now
know that water is 2 parts hydrogen, the most abundant element in our universe, and 1

B. it heals cuts
C. it provides your lungs with oxygen

Directions: Read the following paragraphs. Write D if it is descriptive

____1. Sunset is the time of day when our sky meets the outer space solar winds.
There are blue, pink, and purple swirls, spinning and twisting, like clouds of balloons
caught in a blender. The sun moves slowly to hide behind the line of horizon, while
the moon races to take its place in prominence atop the night sky. People slow to a
crawl, entranced, fully forgetting the deeds that still must be done. There is a
coolness, a calmness, when the sun does set.
____2. Lions are the only cats that live in groups, which are called prides. Prides are
family units that may include up to three males, a dozen or so females, and their
young. All of a pride's lionesses are related, and female cubs typically stay with the
group as they age. Young males eventually leave and establish their own prides by
taking over a group headed by another male.
____3. Borobudur is Hindu – Budhist temple. It was build in the nineth century under
Sailendra dynasty of ancient Mataram kingdom. Borobudur is located in Magelang,
Central Java, Indonesia.
Borobudur is well-known all over the world. Its construction is influenced by the
Gupta architecture of India. The temple is constructed on a hill 46 m high and consist
of eight step like stone terrace. The first five terrace are square and surrounded by
walls adorned with Budist sculpture in bas-relief. The upper three are circular.
____4. On July 16, 1969, the Apollo 11 spacecraft launched from the Kennedy Space
Center in Florida. Its mission was to go where no human being had gone before—the
moon! The crew consisted of Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin. The
spacecraft landed on the moon in the Sea of Tranquility, a basaltic flood plain, on July
20, 1969. The moonwalk took place the following day. On July 21, 1969, at precisely
10:56 EDT, Commander Neil Armstrong emerged from the Lunar Module and took
his famous first step onto the moon’s surface. He declared, “That’s one small step for
man, one giant leap for mankind.” It was a monumental moment in human history!
____5. People often install a kitty door, only to discover that they have a problem.
The problem is their cat will not use the kitty door. There are several common reasons
why cats won’t use kitty doors. First, they may not understand how a kitty door
works. They may not understand that it is a little doorway just for them. Second,
many kitty doors are dark and cats cannot see to the other side. As such, they can’t be
sure of what is on the other side of the door, so they won’t take the risk. One last
reason cats won’t use kitty doors is because some cats don’t like the feeling of
pushing through and then having the door drag across their back. But don’t worry—
there are solutions to this problem.

Mountain Storm

Cumulonimbus lorking
peering over white-topped peaks
like childhood's hunchbakced monsters
wiating there to pounce

Shadows lick the crebiced slopes

as white and green become gray
lights flash behind drawn shades
of ominous clouds

Darkness pours into valleys

where rows of birches waver
as if nervusoly laughing
on the river shore
