THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER

More than two-thirds of the Earth's surface is covered with water. Water is essential to life. Neither plants nor animals can
live without it.
Although we are surrounded by water, only less than three per cent of this water is fresh water, which is important to us. We
need fresh water to irrigate our crops, and plants and animals need it to survive.
Water has become one of the most important sources of energy. In the olden days, we used steam to move engines of ships
and trains. Then we discovered hydro-electricity. This meant that there was no need to burn fuel to produce electricity. Fastrunning water turned the turbo engine and this in turn produced energy like electricity. There was less pollution in the
process. Later, we built dams alorg rivers to ensure that there was fast-running water and we also made use of tidal waves.
Sad to say, man has polluted the water which he needs. For years, we have been polluting our water. We use water to flush
our waste and we use rivers as sewers to carry our wastes away. We dump rubbish into the lakes and oceans, thinking that it
will be safe. Not only that, many industries have dumped unwanted chemicals and toxic substances into the sea. This is
because it is cheaper than recycling.
Oil slicks are another major problem. The oil does not degenerate but floats on the surface and prevents oxygen from
entering the sea. Thousands of aquatic animals and birds have died because of this.
We must protect the water from further pollution, or we will be the ones to suffer for our ignorance.
Question 5: Besides enabling our survival, water can also be used.......
A. to produce electricity
B. to wash waste materials
C. as a dumping ground
D. as a sewage system

Question 8: The word 'flush' is closest in meaning to.......

B. empty waste
C. tidy up
D. clear up
Question 9: People treat the ocean as a dumping ground.......
A. so that the refuse will dissolve in the ocean
B. so that the fish can eat the refuse
C. so as to cut costs
D. because the ocean is vast and has no other uses

LOHRI, THE BONFIRE FESTIVAL
On January 13th, deep in the cold of midwinter, the people of northern India and especially the Punjab region, celebrate the
colourful winter fertility festival, Lohri. The origins and reasons for this bonfire festival have been lost in the mists of time,

but they are associated with a number of fables and folk legends. One of these is a Punjabi version of Robin Hood, about a
great warrior called Dulla Bhatti. Dulla Bhatti had rebelled against the king and he used to rob the rich and rescue poor girls
who had been kidnapped and were about to be sold in foreign slave markets. Dulla is a great heroin Punjabi tradition.
Another belief about the Lohri tradition is that it began as a celebration of the eve of the winter solstice, or the shortest day
of the year. This is despite the fact that the festival takes place three weeks after the official and scientifically accepted date of
the winter solstice on 21st December. But whatever the case may be. everyone agrees that Lohri celebrates the end of the long
cold dark winter months and the beginning of the new farming year and that it's a festival that brings everyone together,
irrespective of their religion.
On the day of Lohri, children go from door to door singing traditional songs. Many praise the great hero Dulla Bhatti and
others are humorous nonsense songs only sung for Lohri. In return for the entertainment, the children receive gifts known as
Lohri. These are collections of tasty treats made up of many ingredients such as sesame seeds, peanuts, sweets and other
goodies. Later on, during the evenirg's festivities, the children will give out some of the treats they hive received and share
their bounty with others. One of the reasons for this custom is that the Lohri festival is closely associated with the
approaching harvest of winter crops (rabi ơops) such as wheat, barley, peas and mustard. Apart from distributing treats to
children, people take a variety of foods to temples and other places of worship in order to ensure a good crop.
Later in the day, people dress up in their finest and most colourful clothes. The women in rich silk saris and the men in
delicately embroidered jackets. As dusk begins to fall, large bonfires are lit in the towns and vllages all over the territories of
northern India. Then people toss sweets and sesame seeds into the fire and sing songs as the men dance the lively Bhangra
dances around the fire. Some people also throw milk and water around the fire or perform prayers in honour of the sun god
and to ask for his protection in the coming farming year.
After the singing and dancing, when the ceremonies are over and the fire has died out, people take the embers from the
bonfire to light a new fire in their homes. They believe the embers will help keep them and their animals healthy and they will
also help to ensure a good harvest in the coming months. Then friends and relatives meet to exchange gifts and distribute the
goodies collected earlier in the day. A traditional dish of Indian curry with mustard leaves and spinach is prepared and is
served with a traditional type of bread made from a variety of different seeds. The fun and feasting usually continues late into
the night. The following day is believed to be a favourable day to take a holy bath in the river and practise charity, Lohri is
more than just a festival, it is a celebration of the gift of life.

LOHRI, THE BONFIRE FESTIVAL
On January 13th, deep in the cold of midwinter, the people of northern India and especially the Punjab region, celebrate the
colourful winter fertility festival, Lohri. The origins and reasons for this bonfire festival have been lost in the mists of time,
but they are associated with a number of fables and folk legends. One of these is a Punjabi version of Robin Hood, about a
great warrior called Dulla Bhatti. Dulla Bhatti had rebelled against the king and he used to rob the rich and rescue poor girls
who had been kidnapped and were about to be sold in foreign slave markets. Dulla is a great heroin Punjabi tradition.
Another belief about the Lohri tradition is that it began as a celebration of the eve of the winter solstice, or the shortest day

of the year. This is despite the fact that the festival takes place three weeks after the official and scientifically accepted date of
the winter solstice on 21st December. But whatever the case may be. everyone agrees that Lohri celebrates the end of the long
cold dark winter months and the beginning of the new farming year and that it's a festival that brings everyone together,
irrespective of their religion.


On the day of Lohri, children go from door to door singing traditional songs. Many praise the great hero Dulla Bhatti and
others are humorous nonsense songs only sung for Lohri. In return for the entertainment, the children receive gifts known as
Lohri. These are collections of tasty treats made up of many ingredients such as sesame seeds, peanuts, sweets and other
goodies. Later on, during the evenirg's festivities, the children will give out some of the treats they hive received and share
their bounty with others. One of the reasons for this custom is that the Lohri festival is closely associated with the
approaching harvest of winter crops (rabi ơops) such as wheat, barley, peas and mustard. Apart from distributing treats to
children, people take a variety of foods to temples and other places of worship in order to ensure a good crop.
Later in the day, people dress up in their finest and most colourful clothes. The women in rich silk saris and the men in
delicately embroidered jackets. As dusk begins to fall, large bonfires are lit in the towns and vllages all over the territories of
northern India. Then people toss sweets and sesame seeds into the fire and sing songs as the men dance the lively Bhangra
dances around the fire. Some people also throw milk and water around the fire or perform prayers in honour of the sun god
and to ask for his protection in the coming farming year.
After the singing and dancing, when the ceremonies are over and the fire has died out, people take the embers from the
bonfire to light a new fire in their homes. They believe the embers will help keep them and their animals healthy and they will
also help to ensure a good harvest in the coming months. Then friends and relatives meet to exchange gifts and distribute the
goodies collected earlier in the day. A traditional dish of Indian curry with mustard leaves and spinach is prepared and is
served with a traditional type of bread made from a variety of different seeds. The fun and feasting usually continues late into
the night. The following day is believed to be a favourable day to take a holy bath in the river and practise charity, Lohri is
more than just a festival, it is a celebration of the gift of life.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER
More than two-thirds of the Earth's surface is covered with water. Water is essential to life. Neither plants nor animals can


live without it.
Although we are surrounded by water, only less than three per cent of this water is fresh water, which is important to us. We
need fresh water to irrigate our crops, and plants and animals need it to survive.
Water has become one of the most important sources of energy. In the olden days, we used steam to move engines of ships
and trains. Then we discovered hydro-electricity. This meant that there was no need to burn fuel to produce electricity. Fastrunning water turned the turbo engine and this in turn produced energy like electricity. There was less pollution in the
process. Later, we built dams alorg rivers to ensure that there was fast-running water and we also made use of tidal waves.
Sad to say, man has polluted the water which he needs. For years, we have been polluting our water. We use water to flush
our waste and we use rivers as sewers to carry our wastes away. We dump rubbish into the lakes and oceans, thinking that it
will be safe. Not only that, many industries have dumped unwanted chemicals and toxic substances into the sea. This is
because it is cheaper than recycling.
Oil slicks are another major problem. The oil does not degenerate but floats on the surface and prevents oxygen from
entering the sea. Thousands of aquatic animals and birds have died because of this.
We must protect the water from further pollution, or we will be the ones to suffer for our ignorance.
Question 32: About.......of the earth's surface is approximately made up of land.
A. one whole
B. two-thirds
C. one-third
D. half
Question 33: Besides enabling our survival, water can also be used.......
A. to produce electricity

B. as a sewage system
C. as a dumping ground
D. to wash waste materials
Question 34: This passage may be found in.......
A. a scientist’s book
B. a magazine
C. an exam paper
D. a scientific report
Question 35: Water is precious though it is in abundance because.......
A. water turns bad easily
B. it is salt water and not fresh water that is in abundance
C. water can only be used once
D. water is very hard to produce
Question 36: The word 'flush' is closest in meaning to.......
A. clean up
B. clear up
C. empty waste
D. tidy up
Question 37: People treat the ocean as a dumping ground.......

THE IDEAL JOB
A government research agency recently carried out a survey in which 15,000 people in the UK were asked the question:
'What would be your ideal job?' Incredibly, around 60% of those who ...(43)... in the questionnaire gave the same answer. It
may ...(44)... as a surprise to anyone who actually works in the business, but these people all thought they would like to be
writers.

Although no data is available to ...(45)... their reasons for choosing this particular occupation, it seems that what ...(46)... to
these people is the lifestyle that they imagine a writer leading. Writing work is often done from home, with no ...(47)...
timetable and so can be combined with family commitments and other activities.
In reality, of course, the lifestyle isn't so very glamorous. Most writers work on a freelance ...(48)... and so have no regular
salary to rely on, challenging deadlines are the norm, and only the most successful of them can expect to make a living from

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER
More than two-thirds of the Earth's surface is covered with water. Water is essential to life. Neither plants nor animals can
live without it.
Although we are surrounded by water, only less than three per cent of this water is fresh water, which is important to us. We
need fresh water to irrigate our crops, and plants and animals need it to survive.
Water has become one of the most important sources of energy. In the olden days, we used steam to move engines of ships
and trains. Then we discovered hydro-electricity. This meant that there was no need to burn fuel to produce electricity. Fastrunning water turned the turbo engine and this in turn produced energy like electricity. There was less pollution in the
process. Later, we built dams alorg rivers to ensure that there was fast-running water and we also made use of tidal waves.
Sad to say, man has polluted the water which he needs. For years, we have been polluting our water. We use water to flush
our waste and we use rivers as sewers to carry our wastes away. We dump rubbish into the lakes and oceans, thinking that it
will be safe. Not only that, many industries have dumped unwanted chemicals and toxic substances into the sea. This is
because it is cheaper than recycling.
Oil slicks are another major problem. The oil does not degenerate but floats on the surface and prevents oxygen from
entering the sea. Thousands of aquatic animals and birds have died because of this.

We must protect the water from further pollution, or we will be the ones to suffer for our ignorance.
Question 12: About.......of the earth's surface is approximately made up of land.
A. one whole
B. two-thirds
C. half
D. one-third
Question 13: This passage may be found in.......
A. a scientist’s book
B. a magazine
C. an exam paper
D. a scientific report
Question 14: Besides enabling our survival, water can also be used.......
A. to produce electricity
B. to wash waste materials
C. as a dumping ground
D. as a sewage system
Question 15: People treat the ocean as a dumping ground.......


A. so as to cut costs
B. so that the refuse will dissolve in the ocean
C. so that the fish can eat the refuse
D. because the ocean is vast and has no other uses
Question 16: Water is precious though it is in abundance because.......
A. water can only be used once
B. it is salt water and not fresh water that is in abundance
C. water is very hard to produce
D. water turns bad easily
Question 17: The word 'flush' is closest in meaning to.......

LOHRI, THE BONFIRE FESTIVAL
On January 13th, deep in the cold of midwinter, the people of northern India and especially the Punjab region, celebrate the
colourful winter fertility festival, Lohri. The origins and reasons for this bonfire festival have been lost in the mists of time,
but they are associated with a number of fables and folk legends. One of these is a Punjabi version of Robin Hood, about a
great warrior called Dulla Bhatti. Dulla Bhatti had rebelled against the king and he used to rob the rich and rescue poor girls
who had been kidnapped and were about to be sold in foreign slave markets. Dulla is a great heroin Punjabi tradition.
Another belief about the Lohri tradition is that it began as a celebration of the eve of the winter solstice, or the shortest day
of the year. This is despite the fact that the festival takes place three weeks after the official and scientifically accepted date of
the winter solstice on 21st December. But whatever the case may be. everyone agrees that Lohri celebrates the end of the long
cold dark winter months and the beginning of the new farming year and that it's a festival that brings everyone together,
irrespective of their religion.
On the day of Lohri, children go from door to door singing traditional songs. Many praise the great hero Dulla Bhatti and
others are humorous nonsense songs only sung for Lohri. In return for the entertainment, the children receive gifts known as
Lohri. These are collections of tasty treats made up of many ingredients such as sesame seeds, peanuts, sweets and other
goodies. Later on, during the evenirg's festivities, the children will give out some of the treats they hive received and share
their bounty with others. One of the reasons for this custom is that the Lohri festival is closely associated with the

approaching harvest of winter crops (rabi ơops) such as wheat, barley, peas and mustard. Apart from distributing treats to
children, people take a variety of foods to temples and other places of worship in order to ensure a good crop.
Later in the day, people dress up in their finest and most colourful clothes. The women in rich silk saris and the men in
delicately embroidered jackets. As dusk begins to fall, large bonfires are lit in the towns and vllages all over the territories of
northern India. Then people toss sweets and sesame seeds into the fire and sing songs as the men dance the lively Bhangra
dances around the fire. Some people also throw milk and water around the fire or perform prayers in honour of the sun god
and to ask for his protection in the coming farming year.
After the singing and dancing, when the ceremonies are over and the fire has died out, people take the embers from the
bonfire to light a new fire in their homes. They believe the embers will help keep them and their animals healthy and they will
also help to ensure a good harvest in the coming months. Then friends and relatives meet to exchange gifts and distribute the
goodies collected earlier in the day. A traditional dish of Indian curry with mustard leaves and spinach is prepared and is
served with a traditional type of bread made from a variety of different seeds. The fun and feasting usually continues late into
the night. The following day is believed to be a favourable day to take a holy bath in the river and practise charity, Lohri is
more than just a festival, it is a celebration of the gift of life.
