    The document contains a 10 question English reading comprehension test. The test passage is about the water cycle, describing its three states of water (solid, liquid, gas) and how heat drives the phase changes. It explains how the sun warms water in oceans and rivers, causing evaporation and rising of water vapor into the air where it cools to form clouds, which release precipitation that is absorbed into the ground, oceans, lakes and rivers, completing the cycle. The questions that follow test understanding of details and main ideas from the passage.

    The Water Cycle You can’t see it, but the water cycle is always in motion on the earth.
    This series of events goes round and round, again and again, providing clean, fresh water for
    the land and seas. As water goes through this cycle, it is sometimes solid ice, sometimes
    liquid water, and sometimes a gas called water vapor.

    The energy that drives the water cycle is heat. When heat is added to ice, the ice melts into
    water. When heat is added to water, it evaporates, turning from liquid into gas. When heat is
    taken away from water vapor, it condenses, turning from gas into liquid. When heat is taken
    away from water, it freezes, turning from liquid to solid.

    The heat from the sun warms the water in oceans and rivers. The water changes into water
    vapor that rises into the air. High above the earth, the water vapor cools and becomes tiny
    particles of water that create clouds. As the clouds gather more and more particles of water,
    the water falls as rain or snow, which are two forms of precipitation. This precipitation is
    absorbed in the ground or is added to the water in oceans, lakes, and rivers. The cycle is
    always, constantly, in process, everywhere in the world.

    Questions 6 - 10: Choose the correct answer based on the passage below.1918 Pandmic! -
    TheSpanish Flu - One Minute History
    These days there are pills for just about everything. If you can't sleep, take a pill. If you're
    sad, take a pill. If you're in pain, take a pill. But what about people who are overweight or lack
    fitness? The best solution for these people is to exercise, but many people don't want to exercise
    or are unable to exercise. In the 1990s, scientists working for one of these companies found a
    new drug that gave mice some of the same benefits as exercise. Newspapers began reporting on
    this new drug, calling it the "fitness pill" or "exercise pill". They said it could "build muscle,
    increase stamina, and even burn fat."

    The reports said that mice with no previous fitness training could run much longer distances after
    being given the drug. They said there was evidence that the drug could also help humans by
    improving fitness and building up muscles. Researchers found that mice had an increased
    chance of developing cancer after taking it.

    Medical researchers are still looking for a drug similar to the one found in the 90s. They're trying
    to find a new drug with the same benefits that doesn't also cause cancer. They believe such a
    drug would have many medical uses. It could benefit people who can't get out of bed due to ill
    health. It could also benefit people with diabetes. Medical researchers also believe such a drug
    could benefit the average adult as well. For these people, a so-called fitness pill or exercise pill
    could be the best solution. But others might say they're cheating by taking a pill instead of
    exercising.

    Many people in the world of sports are concerned about a pill like this. They fear that some
    athletes might use it as a performance-enhancing drug. Even though the drug discovered in the
    90s was never approved for human use, some athletes may have used it to cheat. Some people
    think top athletes who pass drug tests might still be cheating, and in some cases this has been
    shown to be true.
    STATEMENTS TRUE /FALSE

    6. Researchers are still trying to develop the exact same pill from the
    90’s. FALSE

    7. This pill helps in improving fitness and health TRUE.

    8. The company stopped developing the drug because it was


    considered cheating for the athletes. FALSE

    9. This pill is a substitute for exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle. TRUE


    10. This pill can be used as performance-enhancing drug. TRUE
