PART III: READING COMPREHENSION: Multiple Choice (20 PTS)
Read the following passage and choose the best answer A, B, C, or D for the question below.
THE FIRST PASSAGE
When the first white men came to America, they found vast amounts of natural resources of
tremendous value. Forests covered a large part of the nation; later gas, oil and minerals were found in
unbelievable amounts. There was a great, abundance of very fertile soil. Forests, prairies, streams and rivers
abounded with wildlife. So vast were these resources that it seemed that they could never be used up. So
forests were destroyed to make way for farmland. Grass lands and prairies were plowed and harrowed.
Minerals and oil were used in great quantities to supply ung industrial nation. Almost every river became the

scene of factories, mills and power companies. Mammals and birds were slaughtered for food and sport.
Within a short time, the results were obvious. Floods caused millions of worth of damage yearly. The very
fertile soil was washed away or blown up in great clouds. The seemingly inexhaustible oil and minerals
showed signs of depletion. Rivers were filled with silt from eroding farms and wastes from factories. Many
of the rivers were made unfit for fish. Several species of birds disappeared, and some mammals seemed on
the verge of going. Future timber shortages were predicted. In short, Americans soon became to realize that
some sort of conservation program must be set up, if future as well as present Americans were to share in the
resources that are the heritage of every American.

THE SECOND PASSAGE
The handling and delivery of mail has always been a serious business, atioti underpinned by the trust of
the public in requiring timeliness, safety, and the confidentiality. After early beginnings using horseback and
stagecoach, and although cars and trucks later replaced stagecoaches and wagons, the Railway Mail Service
still stands as one of America's most resourceful and exciting postal innovations. This service began in 1832,


but grew slowly until the Civil War. Then from 1862, by sorting the mail on board moving trains, the Post

Office Department was able to decentralize its operations as railroads began to crisscross the nation on a
regular basis, and speed up mail delivery. This service lasted until 1958. During peak decades of service,
railway mail clerks handled 93% of all non-local mail and '55 by 1905 the service had over 12,000
employees.
Railway Post Office trains used a system of mail cranes to exchange mail at stations without stopping. As
a train approached the crane, a clerk prepared the catcher arm which would then snatch the incoming
mailbag in the blink of an eye. The clerk then booted out the outgoing mailbag. Experienced clerks were
considered the elite of the Postal Service's employees, and spoke with pride of making the switch at night
with nothing but the curves and feel of the track to warn them of an upcoming catch. They also worked
under the greatest pressure and their jobs were In a considered to be exhausting and dangerous. addition to
regular demands of their jobs they could find themselves the victims of train wrecks and robberies.
As successful as it was, "mail-on-the-fly- still had its share of glitches. If they hoisted the train's catcher
arm too soon, they risked hitting switch targets, telegraph poles or semaphores, which would rip the catcher
arm off the train. Too late, and they would miss an exchange.

C. How the mail cranes exchanged the mail
D. Improvements in mail handling and
delivery

Air pollution is a cause for ill - health in human beings. In a lot of countries, there are laws limited the
amount of smoke which factories can produce. Because there isn't enough information on the amount of
smoke in the atmosphere, doctors have proved that air pollution makes lung cancer. The gases from the
exhausts of cars have also risen air pollution in most cities. The lead in petrol produces a poisoned gas which
often collects in busy streets surrounding by high buildings. Children who live in areas where there is a lot
of lead in the atmosphere cannot think as quick as other children and they are clumsy where they use their
hands. There are long-term effects of pollution. If the gases in the atmosphere continues to increase, the
