A. Choose the correct answer!

With the acceleration of industrial growth came acute urban crowding and
accompanying social stress conditions that began to approach disastrous proportions
when, in 1888, the first commercially successful electric traction line was developed.
Within a few years the horse - drawn trolleys were retired and electric streetcar
networks crisscrossed and connected every major urban area, fostering a wave of
suburbanization that transformed the compact industrial city into a dispersed
metropolis. This first phase of mass - scale suburbanization was reinforced by the
simultaneous emergence of the urban Middle class whose desires for homeownership
In neighborhoods far from the aging inner city were satisfied by the developers of
single-family housing tracts.

 What makes it rain? Rain falls from clouds for the same reason anything falls
to Earth. The Earth's gravity pulls it. But every cloud is made of water droplets or ice
crystals. Why doesn't rain or snow fall constantly from all clouds? The droplets or
ice crystals in clouds are exceedingly small. The effect of gravity on them is minute.
Air currents move and lift droplets so that the net downward displacement is zero,
even though the droplets are in constant motion.

Droplets and ice crystals behave somewhat like dust in the air made visible in
a shaft of sunlight. To the casual observer, dust seems to act in a totally random
fashion, moving about chaotically without fixed direction. But in fact dust particles
are much larger than water droplets and they finally fall. The cloud droplet of
average size is only 1/2500 inch in diameter. It is so small that it would take sixteen
hours to fall half a mile in perfectly still air, and it does not fall out of moving air at
alt. Only when the droplet grows to a diameter of 1/125 inch or larger can it fall from
the cloud. The average raindrop contains a million times as much water as a tiny
cloud droplet. The growth of a cloud droplet to a size large enough to fall out is the
cause of rain and other forms of precipitation. This important growth process is
called "coalescence."

6. What is the main topic of the passage?

A. The mechanics of rain B. The climate of North America
C. How gravity affects agriculture D. Types of clouds

7. The word "minute" in line 4 is closest in meaning to which of the following?

A. Second B. Tiny C. Slow D. Predictable

8. Why don' t all ice crystals in clouds immediately fall to earth?

A. They are balanced by the pressure of rain droplets.
B. The effect of gravity at high altitude is random.
C. They are kept aloft by air currents.
D. The heat from the sun' S rays melts them.

9. The word 'motion" in line 6 is closest in meaning to which of the following?

A. Wind B. Descent C. Movement D. Humidity

10. What can be inferred about drops of water larger than 1/125 inch in diameter?
A. They never occur.
B. They are not affected by the force of gravity.
C. In still air they would fall to earth.
D. In moving air they fall at a speed of thirty-two miles per hour.

Cristiano Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985, in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal.
Manchester United paid £12 million to sign him in 2003 - a record fee for a player of his
age. In the 2004 FA Cup Final, he scored Manchester's first three goals and helped them
capture the championship. In 2008, he set a franchise record for goals scored. In 2009,
Real Madrid paid a record $131 million for his service.
It was through his dad's work as an equipment manager at a boy's club that Ronaldo
was first introduced to the game of soccer. By the time he was 10 years old, he was already
recognized as a phenomenon - a kid who ate, slept and drank the game. "All he wanted to
do as a boy was playing football," his godfather, Fernao Sousa, recalled for British
reporters, adding, "He loved the game so much that he'd miss meals or escape out his
bedroom window with a ball when he was supposed to be doing his homework."
By his early teens, Ronaldo's talent and legend had grown considerably. After a stint
with Nacional da liha da Madeira, he signed with Sporting Portugal in 2001. That same
year, at the tender age of 16, Ronaldo turned heads with a impressing performance against
Manchester United, wowing even his opponents with his footwork and deft skill. He made
such an impression that a number of United players asked their manager to try and sign the
young player. It wasn't long before the club paid Ronaldo's team more than £12 million for
his services - a record fee for a player of his age.

What was Ronaldo action for MU in year 2004?

Signed new contract
Scored goals to Real Madrid
Won FA Cup Championship
Got payment of $131 million for his service
Paid $12 million

We can learn from paragraph 2 that...

Ronaldo was a talented football player
Ronaldo was a very energetic football player
Ronaldo gained his success by his early teens
Ronaldo was a legendary young football player
Ronaldo became the youngest player in Manchester

“After a stint with Nacional da liha da Madeira, he signed with Sporting Portugal in 2001.” (Paragraph 3) The underlined word can be r

Steven Paul Jobs was born on 24 February 1955 in San Francisco, California, to
Abdulfattah Jandali and Joanne who gave him up for adoption. He was taken in by Paul and Clara
Jobs, and grew up with them in Mountain View, California.
He attended Homestead High School in Cupertino California and went to Reed College in
Portland Oregon in 1972 but dropped out after only one semester, staying on to "drop in" on
courses that interested him.
He took a job with video game manufacturer Atari to raise enough money for a trip to
India and returned from there a Buddhist.
Back in Cupertino he returned to Atari where his old friend Steve Wozniak was still
working. Wozniak was building his own computer and in 1976 Jobs pre-sold 50 of the as-yet
 unmade computers to a local store and managed to buy the components on credit solely on the
strength of the order, enabling them to build the Apple I without any funding at all.
The Apple II followed in 1977 and the company Apple Computer was formed shortly
afterwards. By the time production of the Apple II ended in 1993 it had sold over 6 million units.
In 1985 Jobs was fired from Apple and immediately founded another computer company,
NeXT.
In the meantime, in 1986, Jobs bought The Computer Graphics Group from Lucasfilm.
The group was responsible for making high-end computer graphics hardware but under its new
name, Pixar, it began to produce innovative computer animations. Their first title under the Pixar
name, Luxo Jr. (1986) won critical and popular acclaim and in 1991 Pixar signed an agreement
with Disney, with whom it already had a relationship, to produce a series of feature films,
beginning with Toy Story (1995).
In 1996 Apple bought NeXT and Jobs returned to Apple, becoming its CEO. In 2003,
Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and underwent surgery in 2004. Despite the success of
this operation he became increasingly ill and received a liver transplant in 2009. He returned to
work after a six month break but eventually resigned his position in August 2011 after another
period of medical leave which began in January 2011. He died on 5 October 2011.
