Question I: Read the following passage and answer the following questions. (1point)
National Parks
National park systems were started in the U.S. and Canada to protect places of great beauty, of scientific interest,
or with unusual plants or animals.
In 1872, the United States government passed a law naming Yell National Park, in Wyoming, as the first park to
belong to all the people in the country. It is an area with geysers, hot springs, waterfalls and lakes. A few years
later, Canada named Banff, in Alberta, its first national park. This park protects magnificent lakes, mountains, and
forests.
Both countries continued to add parks to their national park systems Lat some areas were named as national
parks because they contained remains of Indian societies. Other parks protect areas that were important in the
exploration and history of the two countries.
Even though the North of Canada did not develop as fast as the South, more and more people realised it was
important to save the large populations of wildlife before it was too late.
Today national parks protect scenic and historical areas from Hawaii to Newfoundland. The parks cover millions of
hectares in the mountains, the deserts, the forests, and along the coasts.
Other countries have developed national park systems, too. People everywhere in the world can enjoy the natural
beauty of their countries and know it is protected. And they know the parks will be there for the enjoyment of their
children's children.

Tapescript
Australia is located in the southern hemisphere. It is the driest country on earth and is the only country which
covers an entire continent. From north to south the distance is 3, 220 km and from east to west 3,860 km. In area it
is about the same size as the USA. Today about 85 % of the population of 18 million live in six major cities

The climate is different depending on area. The south has cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers. The
north has warm, dry winters and hot, wet summers. The centre of Australia is hot and dry all the year round.
Because of such a climate, much of daily life happens indoor.
