in a Kansas tornado and lands in the imaginary land of Oz. This story has been dramatized on
stage and film. You might have seen the movie version, which stars Judy Garland as Dorothy.
Tornadoes are storms with rapidly rotating winds that form a funnel cloud. Also known as
“twisters”, they extend downward from the huge clouds of a serve thunderstorm. The winds
that rotate within a tornado usually reach a speed of almost 300 miles per hour! A tornado
often sweeps through an area quickly, but it can cause considerable destruction. There have
been a number of remarkable reports of tornadoes. In one instance, a schoolhouse was
demolished while the 85 students originally inside it were carried more than 400 feet with none
killed. There was also a case of five railway coaches, each weighing 70 tons, lifted from their
tracks.

VI. Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are True or False.
Our oceans are becoming extremely polluted. Most of this pollution comes from the land
which means comes from people. First there is raw sewage, which is pumped directly into the
sea. Many countries both developed and developing are guilty of doing this. Secondly, ships

ships. A ship has an accident and oil leaks from the vessel. This not only pollutes the water but
it also kills the marine life. Next, there are waste materials from factories. Without proper
regulations, factory owners let the waste run directly into the rivers, which then leads to the
sea. And finally, oil is washed from land. This can be the result of carelessness or a deliberate
dumpling of waste.

With the invention of the microcomputer, a computer can now be purchased for as little as
a few hundred dollars. Taking advantage of this situation, quite a few secondary schools, even
kindergartens, have already begun to use computers. Many other schools, however, are
hesitating to introduce computer science onto the school curriculum. They wonder if students,

students?” they ask. Will computers make learning even more difficult for them? Then again,
will learning with a computer be boring?
Schools that are actually using computers are discovering answer to these questions.

The Problem of Garbage
Every one of us produces garbage of one kind or another. Some of the garbage is thrown
into the sea. Some is burnt or buried under the ground. Every year we need to find about
800,000 cubic meters of empty land just to bury the garbage. This is the same as filling one
football stadium with garbage up to 20 meters high!
This garbage damages the environment. Although a lot of garbage is buried in the ground,
some of it gets blown about in the wind. Also, when garbage is burnt, poisonous gases are
given off into the air. The garbage thrown into the sea will pollute the water.
What can we do about these problems? Well, one very easy answer is to produce less
garbage. We can recycle things made from glass and paper as well as tin cans. People can
refuse to take the plastic bags from the shops and supermarkets by bringing with them their
own bags or baskets when they go shopping.
The government should tell people about the dangers of the pollution caused by garbage.
Education is perhaps the most important factor for keeping our environment healthy for the
future.
23. Poisonous gases are given off when we burn rubbish. ___
24. We should use plastic bags whenever doing the shopping in supermarkets. ___
25. Educate people is probably the most important way to protect the environment. ___

garbage. ___
27. Which of these don’t we usually do with our garbage?
A. Bury it in football stadium. B. Throw it into the sea.
C. Burn it. D. Bury it in the ground.
28. Which of these can’t be recycled?

In Western countries, electricity, gas and water are not luxuries but necessities. In
developing countries, people even try to reduce using electricity, gas and water. Producers
realize that products must not only work effectively but also save money. In a household,
lighting often accounts for 10 percent to 15 percent of electricity bills. That is why some
inventors from the Phillips and Company in Holland invented energy saving bulbs called
compact bulbs. They are a good replacement for the 100-watt light bulbs which are often used.
These new products use only a quarter of the electricity of standard bulbs and last eight times
longer. Ultimately, the innovation like compact bulbs will save money as well as conserve the
Earth’s resources.
23. In developed countries, electricity, gas, and water are necessities. ___

There is too much carbon dioxide in the air. When oil, gas and coal are burnt, they create
a large amount of carbon dioxide. We send around five million tons of carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere every year. This amount will double in fifty years. This carbon dioxide lets sunlight
enter the Earth’s atmosphere and heat the Earth. However, it doesn’t let much heat leave the
atmosphere and enter space. It is like a blanket. That is, the heat can pass from the sun
through blanket to warm the Earth, but the heat stays there and cannot escape through the
blanket again. Scientist call this the greenhouse effect.

The more waste we produce, the more disposal trucks, labor and dump space are needed.
All these cost money. That’s why we must learn to use less, and to reuse and recycle so that
less waste is produced. Recyclable wastes include paper, glass, plastic and metals. When you
go shopping, do not buy over-packaged products. If you have to buy heavily packaged
products, do not throw away the packaging, use it for another purpose. For example, paper
bags can be used for carrying other things, or for making displays. If the packaging cannot be
reused, try to sell it for recycling. The more paper we use; the more trees have to be cut down.
That’s why we should reduce and recycle paper to save forests.
23. If we reuse and recycle things, we can save more money. ___

The environment is everything around us, both natural and man-made. A major problem in
the world today is the destruction of the natural environment.
This is complicated problem. We burn fuels, and this causes air pollution. We throw away
many kinds of plastic things such as plastic bags, toys and even tables and chairs. These stay in
the environment, they are not like paper or wood that slowly disappear. We have also made
thousands of new chemicals. Factories that make or use chemicals always have chemical
wastes. These are often poisonous, and they also stay in the environment. Since 1945 several
countries have been testing nuclear bombs in the air and underground. The explosions in the
air cause nuclear fallout. The fallout causes cancer and kills animals and people. Humans seem
to be good at poisoning themselves.

Switzerland is a small country in central Europe. The total land area of this tiny country is
only 15,941 square miles (41,288 square kilometers). The estimated population of this European
nation in 1984 was 6,392,000.
Because this nation is so small, you might think that there is only one nation language.
However, you would be incorrect because there are three official languages. They are German,
French and Italian. As a result, Switzerland has three official names: Schweiz (in German),
Suisse (in French), and Svizzera (in Italian). All national laws are published in these languages.
The three official languages plus Romansch are the four national languages spoken in
Switzerland. If you look on Swiss coins or postage stamps, you will not find the name for this
country in any of the national languages. Instead, you will find the word “Helvetia”, the Latin
name for this country.
23. German, French and Italian are three official languages in Switzerland. ___ _

Nowadays, with the help of Communication Technology, it is much easier for us to study or
improve our knowledge. One way to do that is online learning in which people from one
country can attend a college or university in another. Online learning is very convenient and
cheap because we just stay at home and use a computer. Many universities in the world have
been offering online classes for a number of years, and many students who have taken online
classes say that they like them so much. Only reason is because they do not have to travel to a
building at a busy timetable to listen to a professor. In addition, learning online programs is
also diverse, so learners can receive programs for all levels from a distance education. Some
online programs are very good and believable. They provide students with all information they
need to finish their course. However, you should not send money to any schools that say you
can get a college degree without doing any work. These online courses might be illegal
organizations. So, thinking carefully is necessary before getting an education online. Be alert!

Today almost everyone walking down the street has at least one mobile phone in their
pocket. That is because many mobile phones are upgraded every year around the world, and
most people are interested in changing their old mobile phone for a new one. There has been
an estimated number of 90 million unwanted mobile phones in the UK alone! This mountain
weighs around 12,000 tones, but only 5% of it is recycled. What makes us worried most is that
mobile phones contain harmful chemicals which are released into the environment when
phones begin to degrade and, in addition, large amounts of carbon dioxide are also produced
during the manufacture of phones. It seems that the more modern mobile phones become, the
worse our environment gets.

The country is more beautiful than a town and more pleasant to live in. Many people think so,

Some have a cottage built in a village so that they can go there whenever they can find the
time.
English villages are not all like, but in some ways they are not very different from one
another. Almost every village has a church, the round or square tower of which can be seen for

People in Beijing cannot see the sun because the air is full of smog (a mixture of smoke and
fog). The smog is so thick that it blocks the sun all day. People really miss seeing the sun.
Beijing’s leaders decided to put giant LED screens across the city. People stand in front of the
digital screens and watch the sunrise. The screen in Tiananmen Square also had a special
message on it. It was a public announcement that read: “Protecting the atmosphere and
environment is everyone’s responsibility.” The live, digital sunrise is really a hit with tourists.
One from Mexico said: “It looks like science fiction. It’s kind of cool, but it’s also worrying.” The
air quality in China’s cities often becomes bad in winter. People burn more coal for heating in
the winter months. This causes more pollution. Many workers wore face masks on their way to
work. They did not want to breathe the poisonous air. One man told reporters: “I couldn’t see
the tall buildings across the street this morning. The smog has become worse in the last two to
three years. I often cough and my nose is always running.”

In July 1945, a tomato fight started in the market square of Buňol, near Valencia in Spain.
Two young men began to argue and, because they were standing next to a fruit stall, they
picked up tomatoes and threw them at each other. Other people joined in but the police soon
stopped the fight. The young men had to pay for all the tomatoes that they threw. The
following year young people in the town met again at the market square and started another
tomato fight. Again, the police stopped the fight, but a tradition began: la tomatina. A few
years later the local government banned the tomato fight, but the people continued the
tradition illegally.
In 1995, the fight became legal again, but the participants had to follow two simple rules:
they couldn’t start throwing tomatoes until a special signal, and they had to stop exactly an
hour later. Today, la tomatina is a big tourist attraction. It takes place every year on the last
Wednesday in August. About 40,000 people join in the fight and throw over 100 tones of
tomatoes at each other. After the fight everyone gathers in the square and eats and drinks until
late in the evening.

Most people think of computers as very modern inventions, products of our new
technological age. But actually, the idea for a computer was invented out over two centuries
ago by a man called Charles Babbage.
Babbage was born in 1791 and grew up to be a brilliant mathematician. He drew up plans
for several calculating machines which he called "engines". But despite the fact that he started
building some of these, he never finished any of them. Over the years people have argued
whether his machines would ever work. Recently, however, the Science Museum in London has
finished building an engine that depends on one of Babbage's designs.
It has taken six years to complete and more than four thousand parts have been specially
made. Whether it works or not, the machine will be on show at a special exhibition in the
Science Museum to remind people of Babbage's work.

We can develop alternative sources of energy, and unless we try we’ll never succeed.
Instead of burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economic uses of
electricity, because electricity can be produced from any sources of energy.
If we didn’t waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. We can save more
energy by conservation than we can produce for the same money. Unless we do research on
solar energy, wind power, tidal power, hydroelectric plants... our fossil fuels will run out and
we’ll all freeze or starve to death.
Many countries are spending much more time and money on research because the energy
from the sun, the waves, and the winds last forever. We really won’t survive unless we start
working on cleaner and safer sources of energy.
23. However we try, we’ll never succeed in developing alternative sources of energy. ____
24. Electricity can be produced only from burning fossil fuels. ____
25. We’ll all freeze or starve to death if we don’t try to develop alternative sources of energy.___

Our environment is in trouble. People and industries are polluting the air, rivers, lakes and
seas. There are many things you can do to help the environment. Here are a few.
Firstly, the burning of petroleum is one of the biggest sources of carbon monoxide (CO)
that causes global warming. CO thins the ozone layer, which protects us from the sun’s ray. So
try to walk, cycle or use public transportation.
Secondly, the biggest use of home energy is for heating and cooling homes. It not only
consumes much energy but also costs a lot of money. So turn the heat down, especially at
night. Replace ordinary light bulbs with energy-saving light bulbs, which use less energy.
Finally, showers use a lot of water. Buying a special “low-flow” shower head or taking
shorter showers can cut this use in half.
23. We can do nothing to help the environment. ____________
24. Carbon monoxide comes from burning of petroleum. ____________
25. The more petroleum we burn the better the environment is. ____________

Today almost everyone walking down the street has at least one mobile phone in their
pocket. That is because many mobile phones are upgraded every year around the world, and
most people are interested in changing their old mobile phone for a new one. There has been
an estimated number of 90 million unwanted mobile phones in the UK alone! This mountain
weighs around 12,000 tonnes, but only about 5% of it is recycled. What makes us worried most
is that mobile phones contain harmful chemicals which are released into the environment
when phones begin to degrade and, in addition, large amounts of carbon dioxide are also
produced during the manufacture of phones. It seems that the more modern mobile phones
become, the worse our environment gets.
23. Mobile phones are modernized every year around the world. ________________

Many parents may feel that social networking sites are a waste of their children’s time.
However, new research claims that the communication opportunities provided by social
networking encourage young people to explore their interests, develop technical skills, and
work on new forms of self- expression. The three-year study carried out by a University of
California research team that interviewed over 800 teens and conducted over 2000 hours of
online observations. It found that social networking helps teenagers learn the social and
technical skills they need to be knowledgeable citizens in the digital age.
The study concludes that social networking contributes to young people’s extended
friendships and interests. While the majority of teens use social networking sites to “hang out”
with people they already know in real life, some use them to find like- minded people. Those
interested in chess or international politics, for example, can expand their circle with others
who share the same interests and can find information that goes beyond that they have access
to at school. They can also publicize and distribute their music, art work, or writing to online
audiences, and gain visibility and enhance their reputations. The researchers said teens usually
respect one another’s authority online, and they are often more motivated to learn one
another than from their parents or other adults.
23. Teens spend an average of 2000 hours online annually. __________
24. Most teenagers are said to use social networking sites for interacting with existing friends.
___
25. The author mentions international politics to give an example of a shared interest. _____

Are you an Internet addict?
Experts say that millions of people around the world are one click away from ‘online’
addiction.
The Internet is where we spend more and more of our time. But for a growing number of
people, it’s an out-of-control habit that interferes (17)__________ normal living and causes
severe stress on family, friends, loved ones and work.
Kimberly Young, clinical director of the Centre for Internet Addiction
Recovery and author of the book Caught in the Net, says that about 5% to
10% of Americans – 15 to 30 million people – may (18)__________ from
Internet addiction and the problem may be even greater in countries like
China, Korea and Taiwan, where the Internet is even more popular than in
the US. It’s a global problem.
Coleen Moore, coordinator of resource development at the Illinois Institute for Addiction
Recovery, says she has clients from college age to early adulthood who spend 14 to 18 hours a
day online. But Young notes that it’s not just how long people spend using a computer; it’s
what they’re doing online.
To help people with their diagnosis, Young developed a test that uses a 20-question survey
to (19)__________ levels of Internet addiction. “There are no real drugs for this yet,” she says.
“It’s not about medication, it’s more about therapy.” The estimated recovery time varies. At the
Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery, some patients need 30 to 90 days of in-patient
treatment, followed by a continuing care program. But Internet addiction (20)__________, like
any other addiction, requires lifelong treatment, experts say.
Online gaming is the form of Internet addiction most (21)__________ growing among young
people. “Initially we primarily had people addicted to surfing the Web, chat rooms, virtual
communities and things like that. Now we are looking more to gaming,” Moore says. “Gaming is
certainly one of the things that could get people addicted to the Internet (22)__________ it has
such compelling content. But I don’t think games are any more likely to cause Internet addiction
than any of the other forms of entertainment”.

With so many factories that make disposable toothbrushes, pens, cans, bottles and
wrappings, garbage is a very big problem in our world today. You may think that garbage is
everywhere. Well, you’re right. It is everywhere! A good (and scary) example of this is the
‘Great Pacific Garbage Patch’. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch was first discovered by scientists
in the 1980s. It is an area of floating garbage in the Pacific
Ocean that is about the same size as Texas. There are many kinds of garbage in the
Garbage Patch, but plastic bottles and bags, and other things made of plastic cause the biggest
Page 114
problem. ‘What’s the problem?’ you may ask. First, plastic bottles and bags may take hundreds
or maybe even thousands of years to break down. Second, plastic is made from chemicals. As
the plastics break down over time, chemicals enter the water - and enter the fish that live in the
water. These chemicals can make the fish sick, and they can also make the people who eat the
fish sick. So … what can we do? There are many things we can do! We can clean up our oceans,
we can stop making so many things from plastic, and we can recycle8 more. The important
thing is to do something!
