TEXTS
1. WHY IS CHARLES DARWIN REMEMBERED?
The English naturalist Charles Darwin, is remembered chiefly for his
work, The Origin a/Species, in which he established, after many years of
study and voyages of exploration, that all species havedescended, over time,
from common ancestors. Healso fonned thescientific theory that this
"evolution" was the result of a process of"natural selection" of the
characteristics which would guarantee survival most successfully in specific
environments. He noted this phenomenon particularly in the unique
Galapagos Islands. Thegiraffe is an example of how natural selection helps
evolution. Their ancestors had longer than average necks so that they could
reach more food. The giant tortoise is just oneof animals that Charles Darwin
discovered when hevisited the Galapagos Islands.
2. WHY ARE SOME FLOWERS VERY COLOURFUL?

A flower is means by which a plant reproduces. It contains male or
female organs or both together. Flowers usually have brightly coloured petals
or sepals. The reason that flowers are so brightly coloured and perfumed is to
attract insects. Insects play a very important part in pollinating them. Some
plants also producea sugary liquid called nectar which attracts the bees.
Asthey fly from flower to flower they transfer the pollen to the stigma of the
flower and fertilize it. Did you know that the bat's long tongue is perfect for
whisking out thenectar from a flower? Pollen is brushed onto the bat's fur as
it moves from flower to flower.
Vandap A_1304
3. WHY CAN'T FISH SURVIVE OUTSIDE WATER?
Fish are specially adapted so that they can breathe under the water. They
have special organs called gills. Gills are bars of tissue at each side ofthefish's
head. They carry masses of finger-like projections that contain tiny blood
vessels. The fish gulp in water through their mouths and pass it out through the
gills. The gills are rich in blood, and they extract oxygen from the water and pass
it into the fish's blood. In this way the gills have the same function as the lungs
of air-breathing animals. But these gills would not work without the aid of water.
Most ofa fish's body is composed of powerful mu.scles and its internal organs
are squeezed into a tiny area. The fins are used to propel and stabilize the fish in
the water.
4. WHY DO BIRDS SING?

Male birds sing for two reasons: to attract mates in the breeding season and
to warn other males to keep out of their territory. Birds also use other calls to
communicate with one another. When flying together, geese call to make sure
that they stay in touch and adult penguins can recognise the voice of their own
chick from among thousands in a colony. Birds know instinctively how to sing
but some species can learn to add new notes to their songs. Birds that are good at
imitation, like starlings incorporate the sounds of car alarms in their songs and in
Australia some superb lyrebirds have learned to imitate the noise of a chainsaw.
If danger threatens her chicks, a hen will make a quiet noise that warns them to
be still so that they do not attract attention.
5. WHY IS BIRDS' VISION SO GOOD?

Vision is the dominant senseof nearly all birds. In most, the eyes are
placed so far to the side of the bead that they have mainly monocular vision,
meaning that each eye scans a separate area. This feature is shared by all hunted
creatures who depend on vision to warn them of possible danger. Birds of JlfCY
and owls have eyes set more to the front of the head, offeringa wider angle of
binocular vision, which is vitally important for judging distance. Birds also have
a third eyelid which moves sideways across the cornea and keeps it moist without
inte!Tllpting their vision. Accuracy is crucial for hunting birds like eagles which
rely on their keen eyesight, first to spot the prey and then to catch it. Eagles' eyes
are therefore positioned sufficiently far forwards to givethem binocular or three
dimensional visionJ.

SECTION II
Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best completes the unfinished statement or
answers the question about the passage.
New Year celebration is always an exciting time because people look forward to welcoming a
brighter year ahead. It is also a good time to think back and say goodbye to the old year. New Year's
Day is a national holiday almost everywhere, and there are different customs related to how it is
celebrated around the world.
In England, people go to a New Year's Eve party. The party is usually in someone's home,
and the host invites friends, families and neighbours. The living room becomes a mini disco as
everyone dances to loud music. Everyone then waits until midnight to hear Big Ben ring twelve times.
That's the signal a new year has arrived.
In Australia, many people celebrate New Year's by having picnics and camping on the beach.
Their parties start on December 31. At midnight they start to make noise with whistles, car horns, and
church bells to ring in the New Year.

TEXTS
1. WHY IS SNOW WHITE?

Given that water is clear, why does snow appear white? It is to do with its
complex crystal structure. Every snow flake, whether large or small, is
basically hexagonal in structure with complicated facets that reflect and
scatter the light in all directions so that the colours mix to re-form white
light. In glaciers, the red and yellow parts of visible light are more readily
absorbed by the hard-packed ice than violet and blue, so many glaciers
look blue, rather than white, both from above and from tourist tunnels
burrowed through them.
2. WHEN DOES THE SNOW LINE MOVE?

Snow lines are clearly visible on mountains. They mark out the area above
which a mountain is permanently covered in snow. The highest points of a
mountain are much colder than the lower points. The snow which falls on
the higher regions never thaws because it is so cold. In the summer,
however, the warmer weather begins to melt some of the snow. This causes
the snow line to move up the mountain. As the summer months pass by
and the winter months return, the snow line moves further down the
mountain once again. In colder regions, the snow line is close to ground
level, but where the air is warmer, the snow line is closer to the Equator.

3. WHY DO WE NEED NUMBERS?
Numbers are used to describe the amount of things. We can express
numbers in words, by hand gestures or in writing, using symbols or
numerals. When we talk about a number we use words (five) rather than
the number (5), but when we write we use both words and numerals.
Numbers can describe how many objects there are, or their position
among lots of objects, for example, l" or 5th. Other types of numbers
describe how many units of something there are, for example how many
kilograms (weight) or metres (length). Numbers are just a convenient way
of describing ideas.
4. SUN, MOON, AND PLANETS

The earth has many neighbors out in space. The sun and the moon are
important neighbors of the earth. The sun and the moon affect the earth in
many ways. This picture was taken from the moon. The body in space is
the earth. You can see that only part of it is lighted by the sun. It is day on
the lighted part. It is night on the dark part. In this chapter you will learn
about other bodies in space. Look at the two balls in the first picture. You
can see that they are not the same size. Look at the other picture. Each ball
is in a different place. The two balls now appear to be the same size. Why
is this? The bodies in space appear smaller than they really are.
Sometimes smaller bodies in space look bigger than larger one.
5. SUN, MOON, AND PLANETS (cont.)

At night, the moon appears larger than any of the stars in the sky. But the
moon is really much smaller than any of the stars. The closer to the earth
a body in space is, the larger it appears to be. The moon is the earth's closest
neighbor in space. The sun is much larger than the moon. But it is much
farther from the earth than the moon is. Large bodies like the sun look
smaller when they are far away. The moon does not give off its own light.
Instead it reflects light from the sun. the sun is the source of light for the
earth and the moon. In some ways the moon and the earth are alike. Both
are covered by rocks and soil. Both have uneven surface. Mountains,
valleys, and large flat areas are found on both the moon and the earth./.

Bullet Trains
If you visit Japan, you might choose to travel around the,country by shinkansen train.
These higlt-speed trains connect the major cities of Japan. They a:re also called 'bullet trains"
because they go very fast and havepointy noses like a bullet.
Bullet trains are a good way to travel for several reasons other than their speed. They
are always on time. They are also comfortable. Allthe seats face forward, and there is plenty of leg
room. Most importanuy, bullet trains are very safe. In their 35-year history, there have been
only a few accidents and no deatlts.
E>EVIET A 08/9/2013 DECRAN 2

DE CHAN
The only problem of bullet trains is that they are expensive. A ticket to travel to another city
can cost alrhost as much as an airline ticket. However, if you fly, you will land at an airport outside
a ctty. Train stations areusually right in the middle of a city. This means that tt is often more
convenient to take a bullet train instead of flying, becauseJOU will arrive exactly where you
want to be.

Jerry Floyd is talking to his grandfather about his new job. "It's terrible,
granddad. I have to get up at seven o'clock because I have to catch tile bus
to work. Because I'm new I have tc make the tea. I have to work hard. I'm only
happy at weekends. I don't have to work then".
His grandfather isn't very sympathetic.•1had to start work when I was
14. I lived in South Wales, and there wasn't much work. I had to be a coal
miner. We had to work twelve hours a day. We didn't have to work on Sundays
... But we had to work the other six days of the week•.

TEXTS
1. HEATING HOME WITH WOOD

Using wood to heat your home is lot of work if you cut your own wood. First,
you must cut the tree down with a saw. Next, the tree must be cut into lengths that
will tit into your wood burner or fireplace. This length is usually 18 to 24 inches.
After the tree is cut into pieces, the wood must be moved from the woods to your house.
The next step is to split the wood logs into pieces that will dry and burn more easily.
Splitting wood is done by hand with a splitting ax. Once the wood is split, it is put
in piles or in a wood shed to dry. Firewood should dry for at least a year before it is
burned. When it is time to use the wood, it is moved to a wood bin near the wood
burner. From there the wood is placed in the tire when needed. As you can see,
burning wood takes a lot of human labour, but the work is usually fun when you
do it with your family and friends.
2. THE GARDENER
It can be said that all living things come from the Mother Earth. So, it would
only seem natural that gardening wo!lld reach into··the soul of an individual.
Such is the nature of the gardener. The gardener uses seeds, soil, water, and the sun
to p oduce the many vegetables and fruits used as food. Some of the foods produced
include: lettuce, tomatoes, pumpkins, onions, watermelon, beans, peppers, peas, and
cucumbers. The gardener will often start seeds inside the safe environment of the
home early in the spring. These seeds will grow into small plants that will be moved
outside in late spring after the last frost. Most seeds will be planted outside as
soon as the ground
Vand"PA_Sep Pog<)/2
warms. Seeds need water and warmth to sprout. Once theseed sprouts, it will grow
roots, a stern, and leaves. The roots provide water and nutrients while the leaves gather
sunlight for ener .
3. THE GARDENER (coot.)

The gardener will nurture the plants throughout the growing season with tender
•
care by watering when needed, pulling weeds, and protecting theplants from hungry
animals. The harvest season will vary with each vegetable or fruit. Some plants will
produce food within thirty days while others will need sixty to ninety days to produce a
fruit or vegetable. Some vegetables will produce well in the cool weather of spring and
fall, as in peas, while other vegetables need the hot humid days of summer to produce
well. It's the gardener's knowledge of plants that provides each variety of vegetable
and fruit the opportunity to produce a good harvest. At the end of the growing
season, the gardener will understand the connection berween the soul and Mother
Earth.
4. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Transportation is how people travel. In Chicago, people travel to work in many
ways. Some walk. Some drive cars. Many take a bus to work. And others take train.
The buses and trains are part of public transportation. They are part of a system. A
system is how a lot of parts work together. The parts of public transportation in
Chicago are all part of the Chicago Transit Authority, or CTA. Long ago, people
walked to other places when they lived here. Or they rode on horses. Today, there are
thousands of people who work in public transportation. Public means everyone, and
transportation means travel. Public transportation is a way everyone can travel in
Chicago. If you look at the transportation map, you will see routes. Those are the
ways the buses and trains go. The people who plan the routes look at where people
live and where they want to go. Many of the routes help workers get to their jobs
every day.
5. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION(coot.)
There are many transportation workers you don't see but who are part of getting
you places. They work in th.e offices where they oversee the trains and buses. They
keep track of where all the buses and trains are. They watch the traffic. They watch>
symbols on computer screens that tell them h w much traf_ficthere is on different
routes. They plan changes in public transportation, too. Theplanners look at where
people live. They look at the number of people who travel to work in different areas
each day. They figure out if they should add more buses or trains. They figure out if
they should change the route of a bus. They can't change the route of a train, but they
can add more train lines. In fact, Chicago added a new line a few years ago. It is the
Pink line./.

Materials
A material is what something is made of. There are five basic materials with which most things
aremade, namely metal, glass, wood, doth and plastic. There are some other materials, but they
are not used asmuch as these five materials.
Let's talk about metal first. Metalis very heavy, hard andstrong.It usually feels coolif you touch
it. We use metal to make a lot of things, from small ones likekeys, knives and folks, to big ones like
cars.
Next, glass is a smooth material, which feels cool to touch. It is also heavy and hard, but
not strong because it can break easily. Then why do we use it? We use it because it is dear,
which is good for things like windows and glasses.
Now, let's talk about wood. Wood is lighter than metaland glass, not as strong as metal, but it
is much stronger than glass. We use it to make a lot of things, such as chairs and tables. Things
made from wood areusually light, but hardandstrong.

Another material is cloth, which is very soft and light. Cloth is also used to make lots
of necessary things like clothes and blankets.
Last, plastic is an interesting material. It is also very light. It canbe soft but also hard. Plastic
can be used to makenot only thin plastic bags but also bicycle helmets. These things seem very
different, but, in fact, are bothmade from plastic. (Adaptedfrom www.englishforeveryone.org)

TEXTS
1. THE GARDENER
It can be said that all living things come from the Mother Earth. So, it would only
seem natural that gardening would reach into the soul of an individual. Such is
the nature of the gardener. The gardener uses seeds, soil, water, and the sun to
produce the many vegetables and fruits used as food. Some of the foods produced
include: lettuce, tomatoes, pumpkins, onions, waterme.lon, beans, peppers, peas, and
cucumbers. The gardener will often stan seeds inside the safe environment of the
home early in the spring. These seeds will grow into small plants that will be moved
outside in late spring after the last frost. Most seeds will be planted outside as
soon as the ground warms. Seeds need water and warmth to sprout.Once the seed
sprouts, it will grow roots, astem, and leaves.The roots provide water and nutrients while
the leaves gather sunlight for energy.
2. THE GARDENER (cont.)

The gardener will nurture the plants throughout thegrowing seascn with tender care
by watering when needed, pulling weeds, and protecting the plants from hungry animals.
The harvest season will vary with each vegetable or fruit. Some plants will produce food
within thirty days while others will need sixty to ninety days to produce a fruit or
vegetable. Some vegetables will produce well in thecool weather of spring and fall, as in
peas,while other vegetables need the hot humid days of summer to produce well. It's the
gardener's knowledge of plants that provides each variety of vegetable and fruit the
opportunity to produce a good harvest. At the end of the growing season, the
gardener will understand the connection between the soul and Mother Earth.

3. HOW DOES A LEVER HELP DO WORK?
People do many kinds of work each day. Sometimes they use machines when they
work. A machine is some thing that helps people do work. Not all machines are
the same. Some machines, like cars, have many moving partS. They are called
simple machines. A snow shovel is a simple machine. How is it different from a
snowplow? A lever is a simple machine. Levers are often used to Lift or move things.
These children are using a lever to move a heavy rock. To do this work, they must
u.<e force to push down on the tree branch. The object that will be moved, the rock. is
called the load.The force and theload move in opposite directions.
4. THOMAS EDISON
Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio and he was always a very curious boy.
By the time he was IO, he had set up a small chemical laboratory in his house
after his mother had shown him a science book. In 1869, he borrowed a small amount
of money and became a freelance inventor. In thesame summer, there wasa crisis in the
New York financial district called Wall Street when the new telegraphic gold-price
indicator broke down. Edison was called in to repair it, and he did it so well that he
was given a job as supervisor with the Western Union Telegraph Company. They later
hi.redhim to improve the Wall Street stock ticker that was just coming into use. He did
so and produced the Edison Universal Stock Printer, which immediately brought him
a fomme of $40,000. With this money, heset upas a manufacturer in order to produce
electrical machines.
S. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"
Have you ever heard someonesing, "Happy birthday to you ... happy birthday
to you ... ?" If so, you are hardly alone - millions of people sing that song every year,
and the tune is oneof the most familiar of any song in North America.
Ironically, it is not known who wrote it!The tune was written by twosisters, Patty
and Mildred Hill. who wereschool teachers in the late 19th century. but their song had
different words. Instead of"happy birthday to you", thesong ran "good morning to all".
The twosisters would sing thisJ!i!!Y to their students each morning asschool began.
In 1924, the tune was published in a song book. which added the "happy
birthday" lyric . Today. the song has become one of the best known tunes in the
world - and nobody knows who \\TOie the words!
