1. All spiders spin webs. That's because webs help spiders. Webs help spiders do three things. Webs help spiders
hold eggs. Webs help spiders hide. And webs help spiders catch food.
Webs help spiders hold eggs. Many spiders like to lay their eggs in their webs. The webs help keep the eggs
together. Webs help spiders keep their eggs safe.
Webs help spiders hide. Most spiders are dark. They are brown, grey, or black. But spider webs are light. They
are white and cloudy. When spiders hide in their webs, they are harder to see.
Webs help spiders catch food. Spider webs are sticky. When a bug flies into the web, it gets stuck. It moves
around. It tries to get out. But it can't. It is trapped! Spiders can tell that the bug is stuck. That's because spiders
feel the web move. And the spider is hungry. The spider goes to get the bug.
As you can see, webs help spiders hold eggs. Webs help spiders hide. And webs help spiders catch food.
Without webs, spiders would not be able to live like they do. Spiders need their webs to survive.

follows instructions. The instructions come from a computer. Because it is a machine, it does not make mistakes.
And it does not get tired. And it never complains. Unless you tell it to!
Robots are all around us. Some robots are used to make things. For example, robots can help make cars. Some
robots are used to explore dangerous places. For example, robots can help explore volcanoes. Some robots are
used to clean things. These robots can help vacuum your house. Some robots can even recognize words. They
can be used to help answer telephone calls. Some robots look like humans. But most robots do not. Most robots
just look like machines.
Long ago, people imagined robots. Over 2,000 years ago, a famous poet imagined robots. The poet’s name was
Homer. His robots were made of gold. They cleaned things and they made things. But they were not real. They
were imaginary. Nobody was able to make a real robot. The first real robot was made in 1961. It was called
Unimate. It was used to help make cars. It looked like a giant arm.

4. Aunt Casey
‘Hey, Addo‚ look what I found‚’ she said‚ pulling a key from one of her many pockets. I didn’t ask her where she
‘found’ it. It was better that I didn’t know. ‘Do you want to take out a rowing boat?’ she asked. But a question from
Aunt Casey was not a question: it was a suggestion that was always going to be enacted. She knew it‚ and so
did I. It was her enthusiasm that made her impossible to resist; it infected all those around her‚ especially me.‘I
know we are only supposed to be strolling along the river …’She had unlocked the shed and single-handedly
pulled a boat down to the sandy bank before she had finished her sentence ‘… but I thought it was high time my
favourite nephew and I had a bit of fun!’ ‘Are you sure? After last time ?” But my attempt to put the brakes on this
was purely token. I was already in the boat when I questioned her. There was nothing better than hanging out
with Aunt Casey‚ even if it always meant me putting my life in danger‚ perhaps because it meant me putting my
life in danger. ‘Shouldn’t we have life-jackets?’ But she had pushed us off. Jumping into the boat‚ the bottom of
her trousers sopping wet‚ she dismissed my arguments with a wave of her hand. She stood at the back of the
boat‚ feet apart‚ rocking from side to side. She wasn’t trying to scare me; she was trying to scare herself. My
emotions were secondary. ‘Let’s head for the other bank‚’she said throwing her arm in the direction of an old
twisted tree‚ her momentum almost tipping us out of the boat. ‘Be a darling and row for me. A strong‚ young lad
like you should be able to row there in no time.’It was at this point that I realised there were no oars in the
boat.And when I pointed this out to Aunt Casey‚ all she could do was laugh.
4.2. Why didn’t Addo ask Aunt Casey where she found the key?

Do you know how blueberries grow? They grow on bushes. Each blueberry is small and round. Many blueberries
can grow on one bush. At first, the blueberries are green. The green berries are not ready to eat yet. They need
a lot of sun and rain to help them become fat and sweet. When the berries turn blue, they are ripe and ready to
be picked. Some farmers grow blueberries in big fields. The people who live nearby can earn money by helping
to pick the blueberries. Each one takes a pail out to the field and fills it with blueberries. They work fast so that
they can fill many pails. They want to earn as much money as they can. When they are done picking, their
fingers are blue from the juice of the berries! After the blueberries are picked, they are put into boxes and sent to
stores. People buy the blueberries and take them home to eat. Some people like to wash the berries and eat

8. Outer Space
From far out in space, Earth looks like a blue ball. Since water covers three-fourths of the Earth’s surface, blue is
the color we see most. The continents look brown, like small islands floating in the huge, blue sea. White clouds
wrap around the Earth like a light blanket. The Earth is shaped like a sphere, or a ball. It is 25,000 miles around!
It would take more than a year to walk around the whole planet. A spaceship can fly around the widest part of the
sphere in only 90 minutes.
Even though spaceships have traveled to the Moon, people cannot visit the Moon without special suits. The
Moon has no air or water. Plants and animals can’t live there either. Astronauts first landed on the Moon in 1969.
After that, there were six more trips to the Moon. They brought back Moon rocks, which scientists are still
studying. There are holes, or craters, all over the Moon’s surface. Scientists believe that meteorites smashed
into the Moon millions of years ago and formed the craters.The Sun is the closest star to Earth. A star is a hot
ball of burning gas. The Sun looks very big because it is so close. But the Sun is just a medium-sized star.
Billions of far-away stars are much bigger than our Sun. The burning gases from the Sun are so hot that they
warm the Earth from 93 million miles away! Even though the Sun is always glowing, the night here on Earth is
dark. That’s because the Earth rotates, or turns around, every 24 hours. During the day, the Earth faces the Sun.
Then we see light. During the night, the Earth turns away from the Sun. Then it faces the darkness of space.
Each day we learn more about the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. Why is blue the color we see most when
looking at Earth from outer space?
A. Because most of

How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the Moon, some planets,
and thousands of sparkling stars.You can see even more with a telescope. You might see stars where before
you only saw dark space. You might see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars
that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in
the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail.But scientists believe there are some things in
the sky that we will never see. We won't see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of
the year. That's because they're invisible. They're the mysterious dead stars called black holes.You might find it
hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our Sun is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly,
giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn't seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die
after billions of years. As a star's gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star
stops burning and begins to die. As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star
squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a
black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until it's packed together tighter than anything in
the universe. Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. That's how tightly this dead
star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? It's the same force that
pulls you down when you jump — the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks
in everything — even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. That's why you see
nothing but blackness. So the next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: there's more in the sky than
meets the eye! Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes — the great mystery of space.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s world was a world of music from the moment he was born. His father, who was a

13. Ballet dancers were originally all men. Women only began to appear in performances in 1681, in Paris. The
encouragement of King Louis XIV of France is greatly responsible for the establishment of ballet as one of the
major arts forms it is seen as today. Many young girls begin ballet lessons at the age of 5 or so and train for
many years before they are good enough to perform. Most never do perform at all but the graceful movements
and control of the body acquired by anyone who has ballet training, encourages parents to obtain at least several
years of lessons for their young daughters.

Once in a certain village there was a chief who had many slaves. When he wanted something done, he just
ordered his slaves to do it. If he wanted a good and wise thing done, his advisors said to him, “Yes that is
good.” If he wanted something done which was not wise, these advisors said just the same, “That is good.” But
the chief’s lowest advisor never said yes or no. When the chief asked him about something, he always thought
for a while, and then replied, “All things are linked.” For example, the chief once asked him when the long dry
season would end, and he simply replied, “All things are linked.” Another time the chief asked why the corn crop
was so small and again he replied “All things are linked”.
One time it happened that the chief could not sleep because of the loud croaking of the frogs at night in the
marshes. For many nights he could not sleep, and he finally decided to kill all the frogs. He told his advisors
about his plan. As usual, they praised him and said, “Yes, that is good.” But the lowest advisor did not speak.
The next day the chief sent his slaves to kill the frogs in the marsh. The slaves killed frogs until no
frogs remained. The chief slept well that night. He was very pleased with his life.
But soon the mosquitoes began to multiply in the marsh because there were no frogs left to eat the young
mosquitoes. They entered the house of the chief and bit him. The chief’s life became miserable.
All the villagers suffered. So the chief sent his slaves to kill the mosquitoes. The slaves tried, but there were too
many mosquitoes.
Life in the village became impossible because of the many mosquitoes. People went away and left their fields
and houses. The old village was empty except for the chief’s family. Finally, the chief and his family also went
away.
And now there is a saying in that country: “’Yes , that is good’ caused a whole village to become empty.”

In the last 50 years there has been a revolution in the nature of packaging, particularly the wrapping of
foodstuffs, which constitutes over 60 % of packaging. There are many reasons for this growth-some economic,
some sociological. Goods are transported across the world, which means more packaging for transportation.
People go shopping less often because of considerable increases in car and fridge ownership, which means that
food can be bought in bulk. Seventy % of homes have freezers and 40% have microwaves, which has led to an
increase in frozen foods and ready prepared meals. Both of these have introduced specialized packaging.
Clearly some packaging is necessary. It protects food and should provide useful product information so we can
make right choice. It can also prolong the life of a product. However, there are other reasons for packaging that
are more for company profit than the interests of the customer.

Nobody knows how the world will look in the future. Some say that the progress in science and technology will
make life more comfortable. Machines will do the hard work for people. There will be special robots for
everybody. People will program them according to their needs. Mothers will use them in the kitchen for washing
dishes and clothes. Fathers will use them in the garage and the garden. Children will play different games with
them. This way people will have more free time. They will have enough time to do many social, cultural and
sporting activities. Or some will stay home and watch television.
Others say that the earth will be very crowded with about seven thousand million people. There will be big
metropolises. Scientists are certain that problems like population growth and urbanization will continue to annoy
people.
As a solution, maybe one day, people from our planet will have to live in space.
People are very interested in the future because they are sure that it will be very different from the past. For
thousands of years the lives of human beings did not change much. The ties among family members were so
strong that the son did the same job as the father. It was a family tradition. Now there are jobs which did not exist
in the past. Computer and nuclear engineering are only two among many new professions.
Today people are fed up with the problems of energy and pollution. They do not want to face the same problems
in the future. At the moment we use mainly coal fuel and electric energy to heat our houses, to transport people,
and to produce food. But we also know that their supply is very limited. And their waste products are poisoning
our atmosphere, rivers and oceans. So scientist should work out new projects related to the use of available
energy.
