People are rapidly destroying the world's tropical forests. In 1950, tropical forests (23)......about
8,700.000 square miles of the earth or about three-fourths of Africa. Today less than half the
original extent of the earth's tropical forests remains. Few tropical forest species can adjust to

estimate (24)......tropical deforestation wipes out about 7,500 species per year. Commercial
logging and the expansion of agriculture have (25)......or wiped out wide areas of tropical
forests. Huge mining projects, the construction of hydro-electric dams have also narrowed forest
areas.

forests for short-term economic benefits. Brazil, Indonesia, and other nations have
(26)......tropical forests to create new settlements that allow people to move out of overcrowded
cities. Many conservation organizations are working with governments to conserve tropical
forests. Such efforts include establishing protected areas, (27)......intelligent management of
tropical forests and increasing awareness about the importance of tropical forests.
A recent investigation by scientists at the US Geological Survey shows that strange animal
behavior might help predict future earthquake.
Investigators found such occurrences in a ten-kilometer radius of the center of a fairly recent

days before the disaster.
In 1976 after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a terrible quake.
Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able
to evacuate millions of people and thus keep the death toll at a lower rate.

D. the ten-kilometer radius of an earthquake.

B. All birds and dogs in the ten-kilometer radius of an earthquake center become wild before

Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times.
Music may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to
the music. We are able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz,
then a jazz piece with a positive effect will probably not make him feel good. A happy song
might appear to make an angry person angrier, yet it is not the music itself that is creating the
anger; rather it is the positive effect of the music. The angry person does not want to accept the
song's happy feeling: it points out his already existing anger, and makes that anger come to the
surface. When a piece of music is played and we are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings
are being affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and Greece
understood the effects of music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a whole
science that concerned them. Because the musicians of these ancient cultures understood these
effects, they created music that was positive, uplifting, and beneficial. Once the effects of music
are better understood, the next step is to gain a better understanding of the music around us, and
what effect it is actually having.
28. The text is about_____.
A. The science of music
B. Understanding music
C. The effects of music on human feelings

Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material
more than 5000 years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago.
A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers used in
paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the
plant fiber, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different
colors; resin may add weight and texture.
Where do these fibers come from ? The majority of paper is made from the plant fiber that
comes from trees. Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be
also made from things like old rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made
and used, can be turned into recycled paper. This recycling process saves forest, energy and
reduces air and water pollution.

Smog is a combination of smoke and fog It occurs when gases from burnt fuel mix with fog on

People who live in the industrially advanced and affluent countries of the world take
telecommunication for granted. Computer data with text, graphics and even video clips
(15)......been added to the telephone. Fax, e-mail and modems have become integral parts of
office equipment for most businesses in the developed world. It is important to remember,
however, that although North America, Europe and Japan own about 85 percent of the world's
telephones; they have under a quarter of the world’s population.
Today, telecommunications are at the center of (17).....international economy. To participate in

this economy, countries need telecommunications to enable them to obtain information and
knowledge which they can use to attract industrial (19).....and find new markets. Businesses and
factories need the telephone and computer because producers and customers may be thousands
of kilometers apart. Regional and national borders are no (20).....barriers to trade. With the trend
towards a more cooperation between countries, global telecommunications increase in
importance. They are the key to development and progress.
The Beatles
In the 1960s, the Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since
then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is difficult
now to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the
north of England and none of them had any training in music. They started by performing and
recording songs by black Americans and they had some success with these songs. Then they
started writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular. The Beatles
changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from songs they had
written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own
songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split
up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous
for them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as
souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they first
came out. Throughout the world, many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you ask them.
28. The passage is mainly about
A. how the Beatles became more successful than other groups.
