Traveling is one of the most popular forms of recreation in the USA. Most American employees

country is popular because foreign travel generally takes more time and money. However,
Americans who wish to vacation outside the USA are free to go almost anywhere. Obtaining a

popular vacation periods are during the summer and during the two-week school break on the
Christmas and New Year’s holidays. These periods are also the most crowded and generally the

vacation in the autumn. American vacationers often travel by car. Most families have a car, and
those who do not have a car can rent one. Cars are usually the economical way to travel, especially
for the families. It is also fairly fast and convenient. Excellent highways connect the major cities.

Read the following passage and mark to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Over a period of time, many habitats change with respect to the types of plants and animals
that live there. This change is known as succession
Succession occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the environment in which
they live. The first weeds and grasses that appear on a bare field, for example, change the
environment by shielding the soil from the direct sunlight. As these plants spread, the ground
surface becomes cooler and moisture, than it was originally. Thus, the environment at the ground
surface has been changed. The new surface conditions favor the sprouting of shrubs. As shrubs
grow, they kill the grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also build up the soil in the
area, in addition, they attract animals that also enhance the shrubs. They are not able to shade out
oak and hickory seedlings, however, they have found the forest floor suitable. These seedlings

grow, they kill the grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also build up the soil in the
