e. Good morning.
Once there was a wise King. He had two sons. He appointed aminent scholars to teach them all arts. After a few
years, The King fell ill badly. So he wanted to select the next king for his kingdom. He wanted to test his sons’
abilities.
He called both of them and gave them a room to each one. He said, “You must fill your room completely with
anything you wish. It can be anything! But there should not be any space left behind and you should not seek
advice from other!"
The next day, the king visited the elder son’s room. The room was completely filed with hay. The king sighed
on the foolishness of the elder son.
The he went to the room given to the younger son. But it was kept closed. The King knocked at the door. The
younger son asked his father to get in and closed the door again. There was darkness everywhere and the king
shouted at his son angrily.
But the younger son lighted a candle and said, “I have filled this room with light!" Now the king felt very happy
and hugged his son proudly. He understood that the younger son would be the right person to rule the kingdom.

Early one morning a hungry Wolf was prowling around a cottage at the edge of a village, when he heard a
child crying in the house. Then he heard the Mother’s voice say:
“Hush, child, hush! Stop your crying, or I will give you to the Wolf!”
Surprised but delighted at the prospect of so delicious a meal, the Wolf settled down under an open window,
expecting every moment to have the child handed out to him. But though the little one continued to fret, the
Wolf waited all day in vain. Then, toward nightfall, he heard the Mother’s voice again as she sat down near
the window to sing and rock her baby to sleep.
“There, child, there! The Wolf shall not get you. No, no! Daddy is watching and Daddy will kill him if he
should come near!”
Just then the Father came within sight of the home, and the Wolf was barely able to save himself from the
Dogs by a clever bit of running.
Once upon a time, there was a princess who lived in a city. Her name was Isabel. She loved to sing very much.
She sang anytime and anywhere. When she was singing, everyone must be quite. If not, she would punish them.
One day an old beggar asked her some money while she was singing. Princess Isabel was very angry, but the
beggar was angry too. The old beggar was actually a witch. She cursed Isabel, and from that day she could not
sing.
Fortunately, there was a fairy. She was a good one. She said, “You can sing again after you do a good thing to
someone else.”
From then on, Isabel was always good to everybody. She wanted her voice back. However, it never came back.
So, she travelled from one city to another to do good things.
One day, when she took a rest in a forest after her long journey, she saw a thin little boy. The boy was hungry.
Without thinking of herself, Isabel gave her only sandwich. Suddenly she could sing again. Her beautiful voice
was back.

Feline chlamydial conjunctivitis is an infection caused by a bacterial organism (called Chlamydophila felis). The
most common signs of chlamydia in cats involve the eyes or the upper respiratory tract (nose or throat), and
only when infection is not treated does it spread to the lungs. Because chlamydia lives inside cells of the body
and is not able to survive for long in the environment, spread of infection relies on direct or close contact with
an infected cat. Following infection, the incubation period (the time between infection and development of
clinical signs of disease) is between three and ten days.
The bacteria primarily infects the conjunctiva, which are the delicate membranes lining the eyelids and covering
the edges of the eyeballs. The infection causes inflammation known as conjunctivitis. In normal cats, the
conjunctiva is not readily visible and has a pale, salmon pink color. In cats with conjunctivitis, the conjunctiva
becomes swollen and red, making it more visible. The nictitating membrane or third eyelid in the inner corner of
the eye may protrude partially across the eye. One or both eyes may be involved.
Affected cats initially develop a watery discharge from the eyes that quickly becomes thicker and is usually a
yellow or greenish color. The eyes are uncomfortable and cats often keep the affected eye(s) closed. Many cats
remain bright and otherwise appear normal, but some may develop a fever or lose their appetite. After one or
two days, sniffles and sneezing may also occur. In kittens, the infection may spread to the lungs and cause fatal
pneumonia.
18. In the second paragraph, the word inflammation most nearly means ….
A. rash
B. bruise
C. scrape
D. swelling
E. soreness
A. eating disorder
B. labored breathing
People who stay in education for longer appear to have better ability to compensate for the effects of dementia
on the brain, a study suggests. A UK and Finnish team found those with more education were as likely to show
the signs of dementia in their brains at death as those with less. But they were less likely to have displayed
symptoms during their lifetime, the study in brain said.Experts said scientists now had to find out why the effect
occurred.
Over the past decade, studies on dementia have consistently shown that the more time someone spends
in education, the lower the risk of dementia will be. But studies have been unable to show whether or not
education—which is linked to higher socio-economic status and healthier lifestyles—protects the brain against
dementia.
The researchers in this study examined the brains of 872 people who had been part of three large
ageing studies. Before their deaths they had also completed questionnaires about their education. The
researchers found that more education makes people better able to cope with changes in the brain associated
with dementia. It also showed that for each year spent in education, there was an 1% decreased risk of
developing dementia.
In addition, the researchers used data from the Eclipse collaboration, which combines the three
European population-based longitudinal studies of ageing from the UK and Finland which have assessed people
for up to 20 years. Thisis the largest study ever to confirm that hitting the books could help people fight the
symptoms of dementia in later life. What is not known is why a longer education is so good for people. Another
reason could be that educated people find ways of managing or hiding their symptoms. What is needed now is
more research to find out why an education can make the brain more 'dementia resistant'.
Rebecca Wood, chief executive of the Alzheimer's Research Trust, said: "During dementia, proteins build up
in the brain and nerve cells become damaged. This research suggests that education is not able to stop the
damage but enables the brain to cope better and alleviate its impact".
Internet has been the most outstanding invention in the history of mankind. With internet, our earth has become
a global village. Yet, like many other human made technologies, it has its own advantages and disadvantages.
There is plenty of software that can entertain us or help us to communicate with our beloved ones. In a mere
second, we can chat for hours with a person who is sitting at the other parts of the world, read our e-mail in our
smart phone or listen to our favorite radio broadcast by streaming it on our table.
With its easy access, internet also has its disadvantages. One of them is children may be exposed to violence and
explicit contents that only suitable for adult. There are thousands of such inappropriate contents on the internet

Last weekend, I visited my pen pal's house. His Name is Anto. There were many activities I did there. In the
morning, Anto and I had breakfast. We had traditional food. I liked it very much.
After breakfast, he took me to the garden behind his house. The garden was very big and beautiful. There is a
big birdcage in the garden. There were many kinds of birds in that cage. I spent a long time feeding the birds. I
also took pictures of those beautiful birds.
After visiting the bird cage, Anto and I went to the flower garden not far from his house. We rested, had lunch
