A tornado is a tube of spinning air that touches the ground. Wind inside the tornado, spinning very fast, makes tornadoes very dangerous.

Tornadoes mostly happen during very strong thunderstorms. They cause a lot of damage to anything they touch. People die every year from tornadoes.

Tornadoes are ranked on the Fujita scale, from F0 to F5. F0 has the lowest wind speed, and F5 has the highest wind speed.

The United States of America has the most tornadoes every year, but tornadoes can happen in any country. If a tornado is coming, the safest thing to do is to go to a basement or a bathroom with no windows. People should never be in a car or a mobile home when there is a tornado near.

Everyone wants to reduce pollution. But the pollution problem is as complicated as it is serious. It is complicated because of much pollution is caused by things that benefit people. For example, exhaust of automobiles causes a large percent of all air pollution. However, the automobile provides transportation for million of people. Factories discharge much of material that pollutes air and water, but factories give employment to the large number of people.

Thus, to end or great reduce pollution immediately, people would have to stop using many things that benefit them. Most the people do not want to do that, of course. Nevertheless, pollution can be gradual reduced in several ways. Scientists and engineers can work to find ways to less the way of pollution that such things like automobiles and factories cause. Governments can pass and enforce laws that request businesses and traffic to stop, or to cut down on certain polluting activities.

  1. Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D to the questions.

A pilot cannot fly by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of the radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging”. “Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms.

  1. What is the main topic of this passage?
  2. The nature of radar. B. History of radar.
  3. Alternatives to radar. D. Types of ranging.
  4. According to the passage, what can radar detect besides locations of objects?
  5. Shape                     B. Speed                       C. Size                            D. Weight
  6. Which type of waves does radar use?
  7. tidal B. heat                          C. sound                        D. radio
  8. The word tracking in the passage most closely means _______.
  9. sending B. repairing                  C. ranging                      D. searching for
  10. What might be inferred from the passage about radar?
  11. It has improved navigational safety.       B. It was developed from a study of sound waves. C. It takes the place of a radio.                               D. It gave birth to the invention of the airplane.

                                                BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

Few people can embody the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He lived through almost the whole of the eighteenth century, being born six years after, and dying ten years before it ended. In this time he saw the American colonies grow from tiny settlements into a nation, and he also contributed much to the development of the new state.

At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. He had already received some training as a printer’s apprentice, and this helped him seven years later, with his first publication, the Pennsylvania Gazette. He also received a contract to do government printing work, which helped him to rise from his poor background to become a successful entrepreneur. Some of his experience in business was shared in his famous Poor Richard’s Almanak, which established his reputation throughout the American colonies. In another of his works, the Autobiography, which was written toward the end of his life, he shows the same quiet common sense.

He was deeply interested in science and natural history, and his experiments with electricity and lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also interested in improving the conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of projects in his native Philadelphia, including the setting up of a library, a university, a philosophical society, and–because he was a pragmatic man–a fire prevention service. In 1753 he became Postmaster–General of the colonies. Through this experience he began to develop the idea that the colonies of North America should be a single nation. Later, he went to London to try to persuade the British government to change the conditions, especially the taxes, that later led the American colonists into rebellion.

Whatever Benjamin Franklin’s personal feelings about the rebellion of the American states, he worked hard to make it succeed. As ambassador to France, he encouraged the French to help George Washington. After the war he attended the American constitutional congress. This was his last contribution, for he died later that year. He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of the creators of the United States.

People have been playing with marbles for thousands of years. The first marbles were probably either river stones that happened to be naturally round enough to roll or, more likely, rounded globs of clay that were baked hardness. Such very old clay marbles have been found in both Greek and Roman ruins, and quartz spheres have been dated at around 6000 B.C. Harder and more durable marbles tend to inspire different kinds of games than soft clay marbles, which crack very easily. So with the advent of hand rounded and polished marbles made of agate or some other rugged, igneous rock, the ‘golden age’ of marbles and marble play flowered. Stone marbles began to appear in the early 1800s in what is now the southern part of Germany. Shortly after, handmade glass marbles appeared in the same part of Europe. For the next 120 years, marbles and marble playing-there were literally hundred of games – flourished in both Europe and America. Marble players developed their own vocabulary for different sizes and materials of marbles, as well as for the many kinds of games to be played and the way marbles were used in the games. For example, if you were going to play a game of Ring-Taw, one of the most popular and enduring marbles games, you would lag for the first shot, and then knuckle down from the baulk, trying your best to get a mib or two with your opponent’s immie.

As far back as 700 B.C, man has talked about children being cared for by wolves. Romulus and Remus, the legendary twin founders of Rome, were purported to have been cared for by wolves. It is believed that when a she-wolf loses her litter, she seeks a human child to take its place.

This seemingly preposterous idea did not become credible until the late nineteen century when a French doctor actually found a naked ten-year-old boy wandering in the woods. He did not walk erect, could not speak intelligibly, nor could he relate to people. He only growled and stared at them. Finally the doctor won the boy’s confidence and began to work with him. After many long years of devoted and patient instruction, the doctor was able to get the boy to clothe and feed himself, recognize and utter a number of words, as well a write letters and form words.

ADVENTURE IN PERU

I’ve just been to see a film is called Touching the Void. It’s

about two climbers who decided to go climbing in the mountains

in Peru. It took them two days to reach the mountain they

had been decided to climb because it was in such a remote place.

They left a companion and the most of their supplies at a base camp,

optimistically thinking about they would be back in a couple of

days. After a difficult climb, they reached at the top of

the mountain. It was then that everything started to go wrong.

Because of one climber had broken his leg, he had to be

lowered down the mountain by means of a rope. His leg it was so

much painful that he couldn’t stand on it. After a very exciting bit

of the film, which I won’t describe, he found by himself alone

at the bottom of a crevasse. He managed to climb out and eventually

crawl to safety. The cold was so intense that he got frostbite in his hands,

but he was carried on, dragging himself down a glacier and across rocks.

When he arrived at the base camp, his friends were too amazed to see him.

They couldn’t believe that in despite his broken leg, he had managed to reach the camp.

The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house. There are many museums devoted to the decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in the United States is a great collection displayed in a great country house. Passing through successive generations of a single family, Winterthur has been a private estate for more than a century. Even after the extensive renovations made to it between 1929 and 1931, the house remained a family residence. This fact is of importance to the atmosphere and effect of the museum. The impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitor: the rooms look as if they were vacated only a short while ago whether by the original owners of the furniture or the most recent residents of the house can be a matter of personal interpretation. Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of furniture and architectural elements has been assembled. Like an English country house, it is an organic structure; the house, as well as the collection and manner of displaying it to the visitor, has changed over the years. The changes have coincided with developing concepts of the American arts, increased knowledge on the part of collectors and students, and a progression toward the achievement of a historical effect in period-room displays. The rooms at Winterthur have followed this current, yet still retained the character of a private house.

The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over the years in an effort to present works of art in a context that would show them to greater effect and would give them more meaning for the viewer. Comparable to the habitat group in a natural history museum, the period room represents the decorative arts in a lively and interesting manner and provides an opportunity to assemble objects related by style, date, or place of manufacture.

We had left the house with plenty of time to spare, but

suddenly I realised we might have miss the plane. There had

been an accident on the motorway, and although that nobody

had been hurt, the traffic was at a complete standstill. By the

time when we started moving again, it was less than an hour

to take-off. When at last the taxi reached the terminal, we

had jumped out and ran quickly to the check-in, only to find

an enormous queue. Everyone had a luggage, and we only

had fifteen minutes before we left. Eventually we reached the

desk, and we gave the woman our tickets. I was very

worried by then and I asked to her if we were too late.

She smiled at, gave me our boarding cards and said, ‘Your

flight has been delayed by an hour’.

Making music

Getting into the music business isn’t easy. We asked four different musicians to tell us about their experiences.

A. Martin – Country and western singer – 17 years old

I always used to sing along to my granddad’s old country and western records, and when I got a guitar for my eighth birthday, they were the first tunes I played. My mates were all into Madonna and Michael Jackson so, of course, they thought I was a bit strange. At the age of ten I began writing songs and when I was 13, I started taking part in talent contests. Things didn’t go too well at first, partly because audiences didn’t know the words to the song I’d written, but mostly because of nerves. I gradually lost them, though, as I got used to being on stage, and so my playing and singing improved. I won my first contest when I was 15 and I’ve just signed a record deal.

   

B.     Natasha – Violinist – 34 years old

When I was just seven, I was accepted into a music conservatory in Moscow and had to spend four or five hours a day practising. That’s a long time for someone of that age to keep their mind on something as intense as that, and I didn’t always succeed. Friends and family tried to put me off becoming a professional musician because it’s such a hard life. They’re right of course but I’m glad I ignored them. Now, as I get older, I want to move away from performing and the constant tours, and start composing my own music. It’ll also be easier to start my own family if I have a more permanent home.

 

 C. Pete – Guitarist and singer – 50 years old 

When I was 16, I played the lead guitar in a band, doing versions of songs by The Beatles and The Stones. The other guys in the group seemed to think our chances of success were slim, but I took no notice. I was confident I’d make a name for myself one day, with or without the rest of the band. I left when I was 20 to become a session musician, which was a mistake, I realized afterward, as it took me away from the one place I wanted to be – the stage. Then my wife and I had two children and I decided to put them first and got a more stable job in a bank. Now they are both grown up, I’ve started performing again – songs I write myself, this time. I play the local pubs and clubs at weekends only, which is enough for me at my age!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

D.  Jake – Rap singer – 19 years old

I remembered when I was five and I sang a couple of songs on the karaoke machine at my uncle’s 30th birthday party. When I finished, everyone cheered and came up and gave me hugs and kisses. ‘This is good,’ I thought, ‘I could get used to this!’ Then at school, I performed in plays and musicals – always the lead part, of course – and once again, the audience’s reaction made me feel good. I think I knew at that stage I was going to be a star. It was just a question of time.

EXAM STRESS

  1. Symptoms of exam stress

According to Professor Turnbull, a neurologist, more than 25% of America teenagers feel stressed at least once a day. And nothing gets students down than exams. Nearly 90% of teenagers suffer from stress at least once. “They come down with migraines, and many have problems eating and sleeping.”

  1. Extra stress

Fear of failing exams is understandable. However, pressure from parents and teachers adds to the stress. “My parents expect me to be good at everything – academic subject, sport, and music! It’s ridiculous,” says Macy, 16, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

  1. Prepare your environment

“You should make a revision plan that is realistic and that gives you enough time to study,” recommends Prof Turnbull. “Students should eat healthy meals – oily fish and green vegetables contain chemicals that help you memory. The revision environment is important. Student ought to find a quiet place to revise. They mustn’t leave things on their desk that can distract them, such as a cell phone. And they should see their friends just a few times a week – and if possible, no testing and no emails.

  1. How to revise

“Make a list before you start revising each day. Study the most difficult things early in the day, when your memory is fresher. After you have finished revising, check the list – and then rest. Exam stress wears off when you read a magazine, listen to music, or do sports.”

  1. On the big day

“If you start to feel nervous, breathe deeply for a minute. Then skim all the exam questions. Read all the instruction carefully. How many questions do you have to answer? Are there any sections that you don’t have to answer? Be prepared – then you won’t get any nasty surprises halfway through the exam.”

  1. When it is all over

“Well done! You’ve done the best you could. Don’t look at the questions with your friends, as this can make you worry more. Concentrate on your next exam. But take a rest first.

People have been playing with marbles for thousands of years. The first marbles were probably either river stones that happened to be naturally round enough to roll or, more likely, rounded globs of clay that were baked hardness. Such very old clay marbles have been found in both Greek and Roman ruins, and quartz spheres have been dated at around 6000 B.C. Harder and more durable marbles tend to inspire different kinds of games than soft clay marbles, which crack very easily. So with the advent of hand rounded and polished marbles made of agate or some other rugged, igneous rock, the ‘golden age’ of marbles and marble play flowered. Stone marbles began to appear in the early 1800s in what is now the southern part of Germany. Shortly after, handmade glass marbles appeared in the same part of Europe. For the next 120 years, marbles and marble playing-there were literally hundreds of games – flourished in both Europe and America. Marble players developed their own vocabulary for different sizes and materials of marbles, as well as for the many kinds of games to be played and the way marbles were used in the games. For example, if you were going to play a game of Ring-Taw, one of the most popular and enduring marbles games, you would lag for the first shot, and then knuckle down from the baulk, trying your best to get a mib or two with your opponent’s immie.
