answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34
We get great pleasure from reading. The more advanced a man is, the greater delight he will find in
reading. The ordinary man may think that subjects like philosophy or science are very difficult and that if
philosophers and scientists read these subjects, it is not for pleasure. But this is not true. The mathematician
finds the same pleasure in his mathematics as the school boy in an adventure story. For both, it is a play of
the imagination, a mental recreation and exercise. The pleasure derived from this activity is common to all
kinds of reading. But different types of books give us different types of pleasure. First in order of popularity
is novel-reading. Novels contain pictures of imaginary people in imaginary situations, and give us an
opportunity of escaping into a new world very much like our world and yet different from it. Here we seem
to live a new life, and the experience of this new life gives us a thrill of pleasure. Next in order of popularity
are travel books, biographies and memoirs. These tell us tales of places we have not seen and of great men in
whom we are interested.
Some of these books are as wonderful as novels, and they have an added value that they are true. Such
books give us knowledge, and we also find immense pleasure in knowing details of lands we have not seen
and of great men we have only heard of. Reading is one of the greatest enjoyments of life. To book-lovers,
nothing is more fascinating than a favorite book. And, the ordinary educated man who is interested and
absorbed in his daily occupation wants to occasionally escape from his drudgery into the wonderland of
books for recreation and refreshment.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42
The natural environment includes all natural resources that are necessary for life; the air, the sun,
and the land. Because they are vital for life, these resources must be protected from pollution and conserved.
Ecologists study their importance and how to use them carefully.
According to ecologists resources are devided into two groups: renewable and non renewable.
When a resource is used, it takes some time to replace it. If the resource can be replaced quickly, it is called
renewable. If it cannot be replaced quickly and easily, it is non-renewable. For example, grass for animals is
a renewable resource. When cows eat the grass, the resource is used. If the soil is fertilized and protected,
more grass will grow. Coal, however, is non-renewable because it takes millions of years to make coal. All
fossil fuels are non-renewable resources.
Solar energy, air, and water are renewable resources because there is unlimited supply. However, this
definition may change if people are not careful with them. The amount of solar energy that reaches the earth
depends on the atmosphere. If the atmosphere is polluted, the solar energy that reaches the earth may be
dangerous. If life is going to continue, the air may contain the correct amount nitrogen (N), oxygen (O),
carbon dioxide (CO2), and other gases. If humans continue to pollute the air, it will not contain the correct
amount of these gases.
