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.

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.
