Tropical rain forests are found in Amazon region of South America, central
America, Africa, South and South east Asia. Rain forests are very important to the
world’s climate. The Amazon rain forests alone receive about 30 to 40 percent of the
total rainfall on the earth and produce about the same percentage of the world’s
oxigen. Some scientists believe that the decrease size of rain forests will affect the
climate on the earth, making it uncomfortable or even dangerous for life. Saving our
rain forests is an international problem. One country, or even a few countries can not
solve the problem alone. The nations of the world must work together to find a
solution before it is too late.

In the USA, people celebrate Mother’s day and Fathers day. Mother’s day is
celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On this occasion, mother usually receives
greeting cards and gifts from her husband and children. The best gifts of all
American Mom are a day of leisure. The majority of American mothers have outside
jobs as well as housework, so their working days are often very hard. Flower is an
important part of Mother’s day. Mothers are often given a plant for the occasion,
particularly if they are elderly.
Father’s day is celebrated throughout the USA and Canada on the third Sunday in
June. The holiday customs are similar to Mother’s day. Dad also receives greeting
cards and gifts from his family and enjoys a day of leisure.

I often hear or read about “natural disasters” – the eruption of Mount St.
Helen, a volcano in the state of Washington; Hurricane Andrew in Florida; the floods
in the American Midwest; terrible all over the world; huge fires; and so on and so on.
But I’ll never forget my first personal experience with the strangeness of nature –
“the London Killer Fog” of 1952. it began on Thursday, December 4, when a high –
pressure system (warm air) covered southern England. With the freezing – cold air
below, heavy fog formed. Pollution from factories, cars, and coal stoves mixed with
the fog. The humidity was terrible high, there was no breeze at all. Traffic (cars,
trains, and boats) stopped. People couldn’t see, and some walked onto the railroad
tracks or into the river. It was hard to breath, and many people got sick. Finally, on
Tuesday, December 9, the wind came and the fog went away. But after that, even
more people got sick. Many of them died.

Many years ago, people used to buy what they needed from stores and
markets. Now where would you go if you wanted to buy all these goods at one
time? Ask anybody, and he would probably say "you'd better go to the
supermarket". A supermarket is a special kind of market. It is usually much
larger than an ordinary store. In a supermarket, you can buy all kinds of food,
household, products and daily necessities. In a store, a customer is served by a
storekeeper but in a supermarket, the goods are arranged on rows of shelves
along the aisles. The prices are printed on small labels on the goods. A
customer gets goods he needs from the shelves. This is known as self-service.
Of course, you can always ask for help from the supermarket shop assistants.
When you enter a supermarket, you take a basket to carry the goods
you will buy. If you want to buy a lot of things, you will need a trolley. A
trolley is like a large basket on wheels. You can push it along the aisles,
choose what you want from the shelves and put it into your trolley. A
supermarket often provides a more comfortable environment for shopping than
a market that is usually wet and dirty. As a result, many people usually buy
more goods than they need when they visit a supermarket.
1.Many years ago, people used to buy what they need from supermarkets.
2.We go to a supermarket if we want to buy different kinds of goods at one time.
3.Now people buy all they need only from stores and markets.
4.An assistant in a supermarket will serve you if you ask for help.

60. read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question.
A UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) is any object flying in the sky which
cannot be identified by the person who sees it. Sometimes the object is investigated.
If people can still not figure out what the object is after an investigation, it is called a
UFO. If they figure out what the object is, it can no longer be called a UFO because it
has been identified.
Even though UFOs can be anything, people often use the word UFO when
they are talking about alien spacecraft. Flying saucer is another word that is often
used to describe an unidentified flying object.
Studies estimate that 50%-90% of all reported UFO sightings are identified
later. Usually 10%-20% are never identified. Studies also show that very few UFO
sightings are hoaxes (people trying to trick other people). Most UFOs are actually
natural or man-made objects that looked strange. *)%-90% UFOs are identified as
one of three different things:
astronomical causes (for example: planets, stars, or meteors); aircraft; balloons

The telescopes were made. And men saw that the moon was really another
world. They wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there.

moon. Their names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men

footprints where they walked. Those were the first marks a living thing had ever
made on the moon. And they could stay there for years and years. There is no wind
or rain to wipe them off.
The two men walked on the moo for hours. They picked up rocks to bring
back to earth for study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find
out things people wanted to know. Then they climbed back into their moon landing
craft.
Next day the landing craft roared as the men took off the moon. They joined
Michael Collins in the spaceship that wait for them above the moon. Then they were
off on their long trip back to earth.
Behind them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left
