B. READING
I. Read this passage carefully (1.25m)
There is a lot of salt on the Earth, and it mixes very well with water.
There is some salt in all water. Water on the land runs into lakes and rivers.

These rivers run into the seas and oceans. They carry a little salt with them.
Some of the ocean water moves into the air and clouds - it evaporates. Salt can
not evaporate, it stays in the oceans. The water in the oceans has more salt than
river water. Some seas have more salt than others.
Some lakes do not have a river to carry the water and salt away. Some of the
water leaves the lakes. It evaporates, but the salt can not. These lakes are very
salty. There are two famous lakes like this. They are the Dead Sea in the
Middle East and Great Salt Lake in the USA.
Check T (True) or F (false) for the statements.
1. Salt mixes with water.
2. Water on the land moves into lakes and rivers.
3. There is salt in rivers.
4. Rivers have more salt than oceans.
5. Salt evaporates
II. Read this passage carefully. Then answer the questions (1.0m)
Language, the way we express ourselves, is a vital part of learning. A
baby learns his native tongue naturally by hearing speech around him. If the
speech he hears rapid, not clear and never directed at him, then he learns slowly
and badly. A child of two or three who can't make his desires known or put his
thoughts into words will usually become angry. His relationships with others
will get worse. If the speech a baby hears around him clear, and his family talk
to him, he will gain a satisfactory command of his native language ability will
be greater.
