A long time ago, there.…[<1>]…. a young man who wanted to find the meaning of life.
He traveled from the sea to the mountain to do that.
One day, he saw a butterfly trying to move .…[<2>]…. new wings. The new wings
were weak, so it was very hard for the butterfly to move them. Nearby, another
butterfly was trying to get out .…[<3>]…. its cocoon. Wanting to help, he broke the
cocoon and the new butterfly easily got out.
The new butterfly tried to open its wings but could not, and then it became quiet, and
silent in death. The young man .…[<4>]…. so sad. The butterfly could have got out of
its cocoon, opened its wings and flew high into the sky if he had not helped it. It should

READING COMPREHENSION
Before the end of the 1700s, the United States did not exist. It was only 13 colonies on the
continent of North America which were under the control of King George III of Britain. The
colonies found that it was difficult to be under the control of a king who was too far away
from them. They wanted to be free. They wanted to set up their own
government. A war started. After years of fighting, on July 2, 1776 the Declaration of

Independence for the 13 colonies was written. However Independence Day is now celebrated
on July 4, because that is the day the Declaration of Independence was officially adopted. The
13 colonies of North America were then free from the control of the British King. However

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31st. The most common colors of the day are
orange and black. Halloween comes from the ancient Celtic festival Samhain. The ancient
Celts believed that on October 31st, now known as Halloween, the boundary between the
living and the deceased is not clear, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing


problems such as sickness or damaged crops. On Halloween, the ancient Celts would place a
skeleton by their window to represent the dead. Believing that the head was the most powerful
part of the body, containing the spirit and knowledge, the Celts used the "head" of the
vegetable to decorate their houses. On this day people often wear strange clothes as characters
in horrible novels or movies to frighten others. People usually like to dress as ghosts,
skeletons, or witches. Now Halloween is an official holiday in almost all European countries.

READING COMPREHENSION
In the last 100 years, technology has completely changed the way we live. At the touch
of a button, we can look up almost anything we need to know on the internet. We have
electricity, aeroplanes, television and we have ever been to the moon. So what sort of
inventions will be there in the 21st century? Indeed is there anything important still left
to invent? It seems that there is. Scientists all over the world are looking into Nan
technology with a great deal of interest. This is the science of building small machines
and when we say small, we mean very small. To give you an idea of the size the
scientists are talking about, these machines would be about a million billion times
smaller than the smallest bit of dust. Nan technology will bring about enormous
changes. Doctors, for example, will be able to cure any illness. The environment will
be improved because it will be possible to take the polluted air we breathe and make it
clean again. But perhaps the most exciting thought of all is that we won‟t have to wait

John Fisher, a builder, and his wife Elizabeth wanted more living space, so they left
their small flat for an old 40-metre-high castle tower. They have spent five years
turning it into a beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes.„I
love the space, and being private,' Elizabeth says. 'You feel separated from the world.
If I'm in the kitchen, which is 25 metres above the ground floor, and the doorbell rings,
I don't have to answer it because visitors can't see I'm in!''There are 142 steps to the
top, so I go up and down five or six times a day, it's very good exercise! But having to
carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy two bags of shopping from the
supermarket at a time. Apart from that, it's a brilliant place to live.''When we first saw
the place, I asked my father's advice about buying it, because we couldn't decide. After
paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we really loved it, and
knew how we wanted it to look.' 'Living here can be difficult - yesterday I climbed a
four-metre ladder to clean the windows. But when you stand on the roof you can see all
the way out to sea on a clear day, and that's a wonderful experience. I'm really glad we
moved.'

Music can move the soul. It can be a very strong influence. Some music can calm us
down but other music can make us wild! How does music affect us? Music is used in a
variety of ways. It is used in the medical field as a source of research and as a sort of
treatments as well. Music has been used as treatment to lower blood pressure, help ill
children recover quickly, treat mental illness, treat depression, aid in healing, and

reduce stress and insomnia and premature infants. Julius Portnoy, a musicologist,
found that it can change heart rates, increase or decrease blood pressure, effect energy
levels, and digestion, positively or negatively, depending on the type of music.
Calming music, such as classical musk, was found to have a very calming effect on the
body, and cause the increase of endorphins, thirty minutes of such music was equal to
the effect of a dose of valium. Both hemispheres of the brain are involved in
processing music. The music in these studies is not the lyrics, but the music itself, the
melody, the tones, the tunes, the rhythm, and the chords. Conversely music has also
been documented to cause sickness. The right, or wrong music, can be like a poison to
the body. Studies had been done on plants and the results were that loud hard rock
music killed plants and soft classical music made the plants grow faster. Music is very
powerful, like a drug and can even be an addiction. According to Patty Hearst, a
researcher on music, it was documented that music was used in the aid of brainwashing
some people. In the book, "Elevator Music" by Joseph Lanza, it is stated that certain
types of strong music over prolonged periods in certain conditions were shown to
cause seizures.
