One of the reasons why human beings become such a successful and dominant species in the world is because of the ability we have to cooperate with each other, to work in groups. Groups may form a wide variety of purposes, some informal, such as a gathering of friends, others formal, such as a committee.

Formal groups often develop strict rules about procedure. A committee may appoint a chairperson, a secretary, and a treasurer. The group will have rules about how a meeting is to be conducted. After the meeting, a formal record of what happened will be made and distributed to members. Some groups of this sort, such as a commercial company, will have an order in which communication conforms to rule, a person may be given orders by someone above, and then pass orders down to someone below. People will communicate with those above them in the grading, those below them, and those on the same level as themselves.

Even in an informal group, communication is always more complicated than it is between two individuals. Some people feel every nervous when they are in a group; they might either keep quiet and say nothing at all, or else they may start speaking and never want to stop. To work well in a group, you have to learn to listen as well as to speak, and you must be prepared to change your mind, or to agree to cooperation with other people present. No group works well if its members are selfish and stubborn.

Even when are asleep the body needs energy. The more active a person is, the more energy the body uses. The energy comes from the chemical “burning” of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and certain substances such as alcohol.

The energy values of different foods can be measured by burning them in a special small oven called a calorimeter. Energy in food is often measured in calories. One kilocalorie, usually written as kcal or Calorie (with a capital C), is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by 1ºCelsius. In fact, the Calorie is a unit of heat, not energy. In the modern system of measurements, energy is measured in joules. (1 calorie equals 4.2 kilojoules.) You can find the calorie content of almost any food by looking in a slimming magazine or book.

An adult needs, on average, a little under 3000 Calories a day. A manual worker would need 4000 or more, because of the energy used up in physical activity. Children, who are growing and also very active, need extra Calories as well. As people become older they need fewer Calories, partly because they are physically less active and partly because some of their body tissues become chemically less active.

 

1. The best title for the passage is ……………..

a. Carbohydrates          b. Energy and Food

c. Fats an Proteins         d. Chemical Burning

 

2. According to the passage, the energy values of foods can be measured by…………….

a. chemicals           b. the use of boiling water       

c. the activity of the person       d. burning them in a calorimeter

 

3. The passage points out that Calorie is actually a unit of  …………….

a. heat               b. joules         c. energy        d. Celsius

 

4. Which of the following is likely to need fewer Calories?

a. Adults        b. Manual workers           c. Women        d. Old people

 

5. 12.6 kilojoules equal ………………calories.

a. 1         b. 2         c. 3       d. 4

Answers:

1. d. Chemical Burning

2. a. chemicals          

3. a. heat

John Milton (1608-74) is usually thought of as the greatest of all English poets after Shakespeare. His most magnificent poem is Paradise Lost (1667), which tells the story of God’s dealing with mankind, from the creation of the world, as told in Bible.

Milton was born in London and went to St. Paul’s school, where he was so eager to learn that, he said, “From the twelfth year of my age I scarce ever went to bed before midnight”. At 16 he went to Christ’s College, Cambridge, and when he left after more than seven years he settled down to continue studying in a Buckinghamshire village called Horton. Already he knew that he wanted to write a great poem and he believed that to do this he must be not only a learned man but also a good one.

Although he was ready yet to begin his great task, Milton did write other poems while he lived at Horton. Among them were L’Allegro and II Penseroso (both 1631-32). L’Allegro described the things that a cheerful man likes and II Penseroso the things a serious man likes. Also written at Horton were Cpmus (1634), a masque in praise of purity, and Lycidas (1637), a beautiful, sad poem lamentin the death of Edward king, a fellow-student who had been drowned.

Archaeology is the name given to one of the sciences through which people can find out about their past. It derives from two Greek words which mean “the study of old things”. Through archaeology it is possible to learn about human beings who lived before any history was written to tell us about them. An archaeologist looks at the things people made and left behind them, and tries to understand from them what the people were like and how they lived.

Many archaeological discoveries are made by digging up the ground in places where people are believed to have lived. The remains of their cities are nearly always below ground, because when one city was destroyed a new one was often built on top of it, burying the old one underneath. Gradually layers of soil and rubbish were piled up over the old remains.

Prehistoric archaeology in the study of human being before history began to be written. It is carried out by very careful excavation (digging). There may also be traces of the activities of prehistoric people visible on the ground, such as earthworks and marks of filled-in holes. Something may also be learned from objects such as flint tools picked up from the surface.

 

1. Which is the best definition for archaeology?

a. It is the written materials of past events.        

b. It is the history of people who lived in Greece.

c. It is the science of learning about what people made in the past.

The relation between the science of physics and the practical things that come from it is an interesting subject. Sometimes, the knowledge of the scientific basis foe an invention comes after the invention has been made and improved. When James Watt built his steam engine in 1769, nothing was known about how heat was changed into mechanical energy. The great practical importance of Watt’s engine, however, encouraged scientists to look into this matter, with the result that the new science of thermodynamics was formed.

After the basic laws of thermodynamics were discovered, great improvement in the steam became possible, as such later developments as the steam turbine, the gasoline engine, the diesel engine, and the jet engine. Most of the great advances in the understanding of nature and properties of sound waves came after Edison had invented the phonograph and Bell had invented the telephone. As a result, the modern phonograph and the telephone are not very much like the original models. So we see how science leads new inventions and these new inventions encourage scientists to explore the bases for them.

 

1. According to the passage, sometimes a new device is invented …………….

a. after it is improved

b. without any need for it

c. by someone who has no knowledge

d. when there is not enough scientific basis for it

 

2. James Watt’s invention of the steam engine encouraged scientists ……….

a. to improve the steam engine            

b. to build trains and airplanes        

c. to explore how heat was changed into energy        

d. to learn more about the old science of thermodynamics

 

3. According to the passage, all of the following were affected because of the science of thermodynamics EXCEPT   …………….…

a. the gasoline engine

a. the relation between science 

b. how the gasoline engine works

c. How new inventions encourage scientific exploration

d. a basic and widely used principle of thermodynamics

In all societies, a section of the population is labeled as “old”. What is different from place to place is the age at which people are considered old, and the way old people are regarded. In modern industrialized societies, old age begins at 65 or 70; in contrast, in the 19th century old age began at 55. in many poor counties, where people’s life expectations are much lower, someone as young as 40 may be an old person.

In some societies elderly people are thought of as wise and experienced, and they may even be the leaders of the community. But in Western societies, the elderly are sometimes disregarded. Having reached a certain age, somewhere between 60 and 70, they may be expected to retire from their jobs, even if they are still able to work efficiently. Gradually their ties with community are released, and in many cases they live in communities made up entirely of old people.

The rapid ageing of the populations of the industrialized countries is due not only to people living longer, but also to a sharp decline from the 1970s onwards in the number of babies being born. Women tend to live longer than men, so that in 1985 for every 100 women over the age of 70, there were only 63 men. It s also true that the better-off members of the society can expect to live longer than poorer, since they are generally better fed and have superior medical care.

 

1. According to the passage,  …………….

a. people are considered old depending on their countries

b. 200 years age, an old person was at most 55

c. someone as young as 40 is usually called an old person

d. people in modern industrialized societies die sometimes between 65 and 70

 

2. The phrase “retire from” in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to ……….

a. do          b. leave         c. transfer         d. experience

 

3. According to the passage, the rapid ageing of the populations is   …………….…

a. more related to women           

b. observed in industrialized societies       

c. common in poor societies       

d. specially observed in all Western societies

 

4. Which sentence is NOT true according to the passage?

a. Women may live longer than men. 

b. Sometimes between 60 and 70, some people stop working.

c. Very young populations are decreasing in poor societies.

d. The better-off members of the society can expect to live longer than the others.

The Korean language, also a member of the Altaic language family, is spoken by about 57 million people, 39 in South Korea ( the Republic of Korea ) and 18 in North Korea ( Democratic People’s Republic ). There are some differences between the language of the North and of the South.

Some Korean words come from Chinese. These words are written in Chinese characters, KANJE. But unlike Japanese, words of Korean origin are never written in Kanje. During the 15th century, a local phonetic script called En-mum (today known as Hangul) was invented. It was not based on Chinese models like the Japanese script, but on Sanskrit, the phonetic alphabet of ancient India. For a long time, the script was used only by the common people. The royal court and most important writers continued to use Chinese characters until the late 19th century. Today, however, Hangul is used by everyone in North Korea. In the south, the use of borrowed Chinese characters as well as Hangul is discouraged but nevertheless still accepted.

When the Japanese took over control of Korea in 1919, they ended the use and teaching of Korean. But after the end of the world war II, Hangul was revived, although Chinese writing is still taught in schools in South Korea.

One of the great problems that the world faces is overpopulation. Experts tell us that unless it is brought under control, population growth will produce a serious problem in the world’s food supply in a few years. Increase in population will also consume the space for living on the Earth. Many of the world’s people are not aware of the problem. Also people who have used lands to produce food find the problem difficult to understand. World leaders who must always think about public reaction find the problem hard to deal with.
