Last year I went to Nepal for three months to work in a hospital. I think it's important to see as much of a country
as you can, but it is difficult to travel around Nepal. The hospital let me have a few days’ holiday, so I decided to go
into the jungle and I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.

We started preparing for the trip at six in the morning, and left camp with two elephants carrying our equipment.
It was hot but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the jungle there was a lot of
wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto the elephants' backs to get better
view, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the heat of the day.

Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We crept nearer and found a dead
deer, still bleeding. This was the tiger's lunch! Suddenly I started to feel very frightened.

We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out like a flash of lightning, five hundred kilos plus and
four meters long. I looked into its eyes and face, and saw right down the animal's throat. It grabbed Kamal's leg
between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into
the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep!

Going to party can be fun and enjoyable. If you are invited to a party, do call your host up early to inform him / her of
whether you are going. If you want to bring someone who has not been invited along with you, you should ask for
permission first. Remember to dress appropriately for the party. You will stick out like a sore thumb if you are
dressed formally whereas everyone else is in T-shirt and jeans. If you are not sure what to wear, do ask your host.

would certainly appreciate these efforts. If you happen to be in a party you do not know anyone, do not try to
monopolize the host's attention. This is inconsiderate since your host has many people to attend to and can not
spend all his/ her time with you. Instead, learn to mingle with others at the party. You could try breaking the ice by
introducing yourself to someone who is friendlylooking. Before you leave the party, remember to thank your host
first. If you have the time, you could even offer to help your host clean up the place.

WORLD POPULATION

Projections issued in 2000 showed the world population (31) increase from 6.1 billion in 2000, to 7.9 billion in 2050.
"High" and "low" projections for 2025 are 8.4 billion and 7.5 billion respectively. The average world birth rate is
projected to (32) decline from the 1990 level of 26 per 1,000 to 22 per 1,000 at the .end of the century and to 17.6
per 1,000 in 2025 (corresponding to a fall in TFH from 3.3 in 1990 to 2.1 in 2025). Because of the (33) expanding
share of the population at high-mortality ages, the average world death Tate is expected to decline only (34) slightly;
from 9 (per 1,000) in 1990 to 8.4 in 2025. Average world (35) life expectancy, however, is projected to rise from 65
years in 1990 to 71.3 years in 2025. Wide variations in population growth will undoubtedly persist. In the developed
world, population growth will continue to be very low and in some nations will even decline. Western Europe as a
whole is projected to have a declining population after 2000. U.S. Census Bureau projections, assuming middle
fertility and mortality levels, show U.S. population increasing from 250 million in' 1990 to 349 million in 2025 and 420
million in 2050. Thereafter, growth would be virtually zero.

23. A. fall B. increase C. raise D. decrease

24. A. deadline B. claim C. decline D. increase

25. A. expand B. expanded C. expanding D. expandable

26. A. slight B. sharply C. sharp D. slightly

27. A. life B. living C. live D. lives

<b>B. Read the passage, then choose the correct answers. </b>

No one knows the limits of population that the earth can support. Thomas Malthus, an English economist,
developed a theory that became widely accepted in the nineteenth century. He suggested that because world
population tended to increase more rapidly than the food supply, a continual strain was exerted upon available
resources. Malthus cited wars, famines, epidemics, and other diseases as the usual limitations of population
growth.

With recent advances in science and technology, including improved

agricultural methods and great strides in medicine, some of the limiting factors in population growth have been
lessened, with obvious results.
