A geyser is the result of underground water under the combined conditions of high temperatures
and increased pressure beneath the surface of the each. Since temperatue rises approximately one degree F
for every sixty feet under the earth’s surface, and pressure increases with depth, water that seeps down in
crachs and fissures until it reaches very hot rocks in the earth’s interior becomes heated to a temperatue in
excess of 290 degrees F. Because of the gressure, it shoots out of the surface in the form of steam and hot
water. The result is a geyser.
For the most part, geysers are located in three regions of the world : New Zealend, Iceland, and the
Yellowstone National Park area of the United States. The most famous geyser in the world is Old Faithful in

7) Read the following passage and then circle the best answer:
If you dress in warm clothes, stay out of drafts, and keep dry, will you be able to avoid catching a cold?
Not necessarily.
Many people have believed that colds are caused by getting chilled and wet. Statistically, colds do seem
most common in winter and least frequent in June and July. Observers of such patterns of occurrence
therefore reasoned that keeping warm helped to prevent cold and wet produced colds.
But if this is so, how can we explain account from Arctic and Antarctic explorers who, in spite of

exhaustion, near starvation, and exposure to frigid conditions, did not catch cold? Then, upon returning to
the warmth and comforts of civilization, they often succumbed immediately to colds.
Additional contrary evidence may be found in the experiences of prisoners of World War II Nazi
concentration camps. During the late autumn and winter months, prisoners were forced to take showers and
then stand wet and naked in the open air. They fully expected to catch cold, to their surprise, most did not.
Doctors today believe that common cold is caused not by dampness and cold but by a virus. However, if the
virus is present, it does seem to thrive better in a body whose natural powers of resistance have been weaken
by exposure to the cold and wet.

3, Which of the following statement is not true:
A, Colds are most common in June and July.
B, Keeping dry will not necessarily prevent catching cold.
C, Arctic explorers caught cold when they returned to civilization.
D, Concentration camp prisoners were forced to stand wet and naked in the winter.

9) Read the following passage and do the exercise below it:
Learning a foreign language is, in some ways, like learning how to fly. There are some differences, but
there is a very important similarity. It is this : learning how to do these things needs a lot of practice. It is
never enough to read a book on how to fly, but if you only read that book, then try to fly without any
practice, you will kill yourself. The same is true of learning a foreign language. For example, can you speak

English well without having lots of practice ? “Practice makes perfect” is what every learner of a foreign
language should know.
* Write TRUE or FALSE for the statements about the passage.
1- Learning a foreign language and learning to fly are the same in an important way.
(....................)
2- Information about flying from books is enough for someone to fly.
(....................)

10) Clothes can tell a lot about a person. some people like very colorful clothes because they want everyone
to look at them and they want to be the center of things. Other people like to wear nice clothes, but their
clothes are not colorful or fancy. They do not like people to look at them. Clothes today are very different
from the clothes of the 1800s. One difference is the way they look. For example, in the 1800s all women
wore dresses. The dresses all had long skirts. Sometimes they wear short skirts. Sometimes they wear pants.
Another difference between 1800s and today is the cloth. In the 1800s, clothes were made only from natural
kinds of cloth. They were made from cotton, wool, silk or linen. But today, there are many kinds of man
made cloth. A lot of clothes are now made from nylon, rayon, or polyester

The coach driver was a bit annoyed because the flight was late. But it wasn't far to the hotel and everyone
was looking forward to their dinner. We hadn't used the Hotel Riviera before but our normal one had a
conference in it so it was fully booked. When I announced our arrival at the reception desk, they said they
were full. I had booked rooms for the group but the manager said they were cancelled by phone a few days
before. He insisted that he recognized my voice and that I had made the phone call. We had a bit of an
argument but they obviously didn't have enough rooms. In the end, the manager phoned hotels in the town
and found rooms for everyone but in four different hotels. By this time, the coach had gone, so we had to
get taxis and some of the tourists started to get very angry with me. I still don't know who made that
phone call but it definitely wasn't me.

In Britain, natural gas is the most popular fuel for heating homes, and for cooking. It is piped all over
the country from the gas fields below the North Sea. Natural gas is used chiefly as a direct source of energy
although it is also used in the chemical industry. At the moment the supply is plentiful, but it will be running
short by the end of the century, and will run out during the 21 st century unless new supplies are found. We

could do without natural gas, as coal gas can be used as a substitute, and there should be enough coal to last
for several centuries. However, it is a from of energy which is not only cheap, but also highly efficient.

and climbed down the roof. The roof was wet and he slipped. His foot hit the ladder and kicked it away from
the house. The ladder fell. It fell into the long grass in the garden.
Ron sat down on the roof. He could see a lot of people in the main road. A girl was walking along the
road, and looked up at the house. Ron stood up, shouted, and waved to her. She turned away and walked
quickly down the street. Then he saw some children. He waved and shouted. They turned round, smiled, and
waved back to him. Then they walked away. Ron wave and shouted for an hour. Most people smiled and
waved back to him. Then it began to rain. Ron was cold and wet. He was tired too.
At last Ron had an idea. He stood up, and moved to the edge of the roof. He shouted:
“I’m going to jump! I can’t go on! I’m going to kill myself!”
Ten minutes later there was a fire-engine, a police car, and an ambulance outside the house. A fireman
climbed up the ladder on the fire-engine.
