The Slippers of Buffalo Skin

Once, in a time long past, there were a pair of slippers made of buffalo skin belonging to a prince.When the prince took them off, he put them on a rack in the kitchen, where the kitchen mice stared at

them hour after hour, for they wished to eat them.These were no common slippers, since they had the power of speech, and they spoke to oneanother exactly like husband and wife. One day the Husband Slipper said to his spouse, Wife, if the micestare at us this way, day and night, in the end we are going to be devoured by them. What do you think?Could we perhaps change ourselves into mice?

The wife only replied, As you wish, Husband.The Husband Slipper sent up a prayer to the Almighty for them to become mice, and at once their

prayer was heard and their wish granted.As mice, however, they discovered that their slightest movement caught the attention of the cats,

which made them feel very unsafe, and so they asked to become cats.This request too was granted them; but as cats, hardly had they set their paws outside the house

when they were set upon by dogs. They therefore sent up an entreaty to become dogs, and as before, they

were granted their wish.When the newly created dogs came in the vicinity of men and women who were stamping rice,they were immediately beaten with the rice stampers and chased away. They decided then that it would bemore advantageous to become human beings, and this too they were allowed to become.

They were then called upon by the village chief to perform a variety of tasks for him, amongothers, to carry heavy loads of rocks. Their dissatisfaction increasing, they asked to become courtiers; andthe very next moment they were courtiers, in which capacity they had to carry out the commands of thePrince, night and day. They were even awakened from a deep sleep to perform some duty or other for HisMajesty.

Of course the courtiers now felt how convenient it would be to become Prince and Princess, forthen there would be no one over them to issue commandsand this too they became. But they were not atpeace, for a Prince from another principality attacked their princedom, and they were continually

surrounded by enemies.More concerned than ever, the Slipper Prince said to his wife, My fear is great that we will bedefeated, and if, we are, we will be imprisoned and ordered to cut grass for the horses. What shall we do?If I could become God, we would have no enemies, and we would be all-powerful.

And the wife replied, as always, As you wish, Husband!But that was the limit. At the very moment that the Husband asked to become God, both he and

his wife became slippers again, back in the kitchen, on the rack, as when their story began!

16. Why did the mice look at the slippers?Because the mice wanted to .A. gnaw themB. be the miceC. hide their bodyD. grant the wishesE. change their body

17. What is the main idea of paragraph two?A.The slippers were no ordinary.B.The slippers wanted to change mice.C.God cursed the slippers turn into mice.D.The slippers couldnt talk to each other.E. The husband and the spouse were commended to be slippers.

18. Which of the following statements is not true according to the text?A. When the slippers changed into prince and princess, they never live peacefullyB. The slippers didnt want to be the dog because the villagers chased them.C. Being courtiers, they should perform the Princes commandD. Being dog, the slippers were beaten by the chief of villagerE. Becoming human being, the slippers should do hard tasks

Acid rain is rain that is highly acidic because of sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other airpollutants dissolved in it. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6. Acid rain may have a pHvalue as low as 2.8.

Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life. Certain lakes, for example, have lost allfish and plant life because of acid rain.

Acid rain comes from sulphur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulphur dioxide (SO2 ).Most sulphur leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulphur dioxide (SO2 ) and most nitrogen is alsoemitted as one of the nitrogen oxides (NO or NO2 ), both of which are gases. The gases may be drydepositedabsorbed directly by the land, by lakes or by the surface vegetation. If they are in theatmosphere for any time, the gases will oxidise (gain an oxygen atom) and go into solution as acids.Sulphuric acid (H2 SO4 ) and the nitrogen oxides will become nitric acid (HNO3 ). The acids usuallydissolve in cloud droplets and may travel great distances before being precipitated as acid rain.Catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone and ammonium help promote the formation of acids inclouds. More ammonium (NH4 ) can be formed when some of the acids are partially neutralised byairborne ammonia (NH3 ). Acidication increases with the number of active hydrogen (H+) ionsdissolved in acid. Hydrocarbons emitted by for example, car exhausts will react in sunlight withnitrogen oxides to produce ozone. Although it is invaluable in the atmosphere, low level ozone causes

respiratory problems and also hastens the formation of acid rain. When acid rain falls on the ground itdissolves and liberates heavy metals and aluminium (Al). When it is washed into lakes, aluminiumirritates the outer surfaces of many fish. As acid rain falls or drains into the lake the pH of the lakefalls. Forests suffer the effect of acid rain through damage to leaves, through the loss of vitalnutrients, and through the increased amounts of toxic metals liberated by acid, which damage rootsand soil micro organisms.

20. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The definition of acid rain.B. The process of acid rain.C. The effect of acid rain.D. Acid rain.

E. Rain.21.The acid of normal rain is than the acid rain.

A. higherB. lowerC. denserD. severerE. the same

22. The third paragraph tells us about ... .A. acid rain damages environmentB. how acid rain endangers lifeC. how acid rain occursD. the cause of acid rainE. the acid rain cause

23. Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life. (Paragraph 2)The underlined word has the closest meaning to ... .A. harmB. hangC. endowD. produceE. develop

Working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use someforesight. However, youd better think a hundred times before you decide to take a part time job. Thereare a lot of things that should be factored in on the decision to take a part time job.

On the negative side, working and still maintaining a good grade at school is not an easy task.Having less time for schoolwork becomes the main negative effect. Consequently, many students whowork part time fail to perform at their best both on schoolwork and on examinations. Moreover, a part-time job can really interfere with the students free time. It also cuts into their studies and/or social life.

On the positive side of things, a part time job helps students to support day to day living expenses.Working can be a valuable part of a students life, if taken on responsibly. Students can derive a greatdeal from working, considerably more than just money. In most cases, they can acquire a nice dose ofdiscipline and a whole new set of skills and experiences. Another benefit of part- time work is theopportunity to expand the resume. Ideally, a student should try to find a job that is related in some way tohis/her selected field of study. But even not, a student can still gain some work experience and developskills.

Working takes a lot of time and energy, so students need to make sure to be able to handle bothemployment and their current commitments. Finally, if you are considering working part time, talk toyour school counselor to discuss this move. Simply explain your goals to someone else can help youmake decisions and figure out your priorities.

26.What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?A. Students should take many consideration before working.B. Students should meet their counselor before studying.

He waited all the afternoon. Then, at sunset the lion appeared. It was covered with blood. At firstthe lion did not see Hercules. He shot an arrow at it. The arrow hit the lion. It stuck in the Lions skin butdid not hurt the lion. Hercules shot another arrow. It also hit the lion but did not hurt it. The lion lookedaround angrily. Hercules took out another arrow into his bow. Before he could shoot it, the lion saw him.It jumped at him.

Hercules lifted his club high into the air and hit the lion on the head with all his strength. The club

broke into two pieces. The lion fell to the ground but did not die. Then Hercules held the lions throat inhis hand. He squeezed the lions throat until it died.

The water cycle is also known as the hydrological cycle. There is the same amount of water on theEarth now as there was when the Earth began. The water cycle is how the earths water recycles itself.

The cycle includes precipitation, evaporation, condensation and evapotranspiration. Earths waterkeeps changing from liquid water to vapour and then back again. This cycle happens because of the sunsheat and gravity. How does the Water Cycle work?

First of all, water molecules from lakes, rivers, streams, reservoirs, and the sea get heated up by thesun and then turn into vapour that rises into the air.

Next, these water molecules form into clouds. This is because a process called condensation occurs.When the air and the water cool, they form drops of water which then fall to the earth as rain. If theyare frozen, they become snow or sleet.

Once the water reaches the ground, it can flow across the land until it reaches rivers, lakes, streams,or the sea. It can also sink into the ground as flow because of gravity through gaps in rock, gravel andsand. Because of this, it reaches these bodies of water too.

Now the cycle begins again, when water is evaporated once more.Many of us think water will always be there for us when we want it. Without water, living thing

would die. You will die if you go without water for more than a week. Plants will die without water andthat would kill all of the animals that eat the plants.

34.What does paragraph two tell us about?A.

The process involved in the water cycle.B.The cycle of water condensation.

C.The process of making water.D. The process of raindrops.E.The cycle of raindrops.

35. thisis because a process called condensation occurs.(Paragraph 4)What does the underlined word refers to?A. Water molecules form into cloudsB.Molecules form into cloudsC.Water moleculeD. MoleculesE. Water

A. disappearB. increaseC. becomeD. reachE. take


Distillation, the process of separating the elements of a solution, is widely used in industry today.The two most common methods are fractional distillation, used in the preparation of alcoholic beverages,and flash distillation, used for the conversion of ocean water to fresh water.

In fractional distillation a mixture is separated into its various component parts by boiling. Thismethod makes use of the fact that different elements boil at varying temperature. For example, alcoholhas a considerably lower boiling temperature than water: the boiling water of water is 212 degreesFahrenheit, and the boiling temperature of alcohol is 172 degrees Fahrenheit. Thus, when a mixture ofalcohol and water is heated, the alcohol vaporizes more quickly than the water. The distillate is collectedand the process is repeated until the desired purity has been achieved.

Flash distillation does not require high temperatures but instead is based on pressure. In thisprocess, a liquid that is to be separated is forced from a compartment kept under high pressure into a

compartment kept at a lower pressure. When a liquid moves into the lower pressure chamber, it suddenlyvaporizes, and the vapor is then condensed into a distillate.

37.Which of the following processes would probably involve distillation?A. Adding a new substance to a mixture.B. Removing impurities from a solution.C. Collecting the water into high temperature.D. Dividing a pure element into smaller quantities.E. Mixing two elements together to form a new solution.

Deviations from normal temperature patterns of the southern Pacific Ocean, between Australia andSouth America, result in the phenomenon called El Nio. Under normal conditions, eastern trade windsblows across the Pacific. These drive sun-warmed surface water from the central Pacific to the coast ofnorthern Australia. When clouds form above this area of warm water and move over Indonesia, PapuaNew Guinea, and Australia, they bring rain with them. Every two to seven years, however, this pattern isinterrupted by the El Nio event.

During El Nio, the Pacific Ocean of Australia does not warm as much as it normally does. Instead, itbecomes warmer right up to the coast of Peru in South America. At the same time, the easterly tradewinds that blow across the Pacific reverse their direction. This causes high-pressure systems to build up tothe north of and across the Australian Continent, preventing moist tropical air reaching the continent.These conditions in turn result in storms, and in rain falling in the eastern Pacific Ocean and in SouthAmerica instead of in Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia, which suffer drought conditions.

While the effects of El Nio are sometimes weak, at the other times they are very strong. During asevere El Nio period, extreme drought conditions prevail as in 1982 - 1983 and 1997-1998. In contrastheavy rainfall and flooding occurred in parts of North and South America. In 1997, there were severestorms and Australia, they bring rain with them. Every two to seven years, however, this pattern isinterrupted by the El Nio event. This causes high-pressure systems to build up to the north of floods inMexico and further north along the west coast of the United States.

The converse of the El Nio effect is the La Nia effect, which is an exaggeration of normalconditions. This takes place when trade winds blow strongly and consistently across the Pacific towardsAustralia. This pushes the warm waters from the central Pacific, off the northern Australian coast to buildup into a mass that is bigger than normal. Thus, much more cloud develops than usual, and this bringsconsiderably more rain to Australia and neighbouring countries.

40. Which of the following statements is not correct according to the text?A. El Nino occurs every 27 yearsB. El Nino causes Papua New Guinea suffers droughtC. The coast of Peru becomes warmer because of El NinoD. El Nino causes the moist tropical air reach Australian continentE. El Nino causes highpressure system builds up across Australian continent

41.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A. El Nino is in United States.B. The effect of El Nino is weak.C. The effect of El Nino can be extremely strong.D. La Nina is the contrast of El Nino phenomenon.E. The effect of El Nino can be very dangerous.

42.The converseof the El Nio effect is the La Nia effect, (Paragraph 4).The underlined word can be best replaced by ... .A. normal

There are many reasons of using plastics for our daily life. However, there are also some reasons

that show that plastics are hazardous for our life.Actually, plastics take an important part of our everyday life. As you read this book, perhaps you

are sitting on a plastic chair, leaning on a plastic-coated table or wearing plastic shoes.We prefer using plastics to other materials for some reasons. Some of them are: they can be

shaped into almost anything, they are light and relatively cheap and they can be produced in differentcolour. Moreover, they are good insulators because heat and electricity do not travel through plasticseasily. Further, unlike metals and wood, plastics do not rust or rot.

On the other hand, plastics have some disadvantages too. Plastics are made of natural resourceswhich are not renewable. It means that they will eventually run out. Besides, they are also difficult torecycle. Many plastics do not rot or break down naturally. If we dont recycle them, it means plasticrubbish will remain on our planet for a very long time. Of course, it will cause pollution. In fact, recyclingplastics is complicated. Different types of plastics need to be processed in different ways.

Moreover, plastics are not as strong as many metals. They also melt at high temperatures,sometimes giving off poisonous fumes. Surely, the poisonous fumes are dangerous for living things.

43.The issue of the text is ... .A. reason of using plasticsB. using plastics for daily lifeC. the importance of plasticsD. reason of using plastics in lifeE. the hazard of using plastics
