Dear Fred,
It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill. For your
brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think. The illness was
very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt
sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much
of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself for your mother was
always very kind to me. I admired her a good and noble woman. Her death must be a terrible grief to
your father too. Please assure him of my sincere sympathy.

Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such sorrows we are
always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.

Your sincere friends,

Jack

21. How a Geyser Forms

A geyser field is usually located in an area where there has been recent volcanic activity. There can be
hundreds of geysers in a geyser field. Their positions depend on the system of channels underground.

Cold surface water seeps underground. It flows through cracks in nonporous rock (rock that does not
soak up water) and collects in channels of porous rock (rock that soaks up water). The water is heated by
hot rock, and it begins to expand and boil. Water at the top boils off or spills over. This reduces the
pressure and causes deeper water to boil much more violently, creating jets of steam and fountains of
hot water.

Tense that are used in the text above is .....

A. past tense

Ans: D

22. The water is heated by hot rock, and it begins to expand and boil.

Butterflies are insects undergo a complete methamorphosis during their life cyrcle. They are born as
eggs that hatch into larvae and then grow into pupas, before transforming into adults which are
butterflies.

Adult female butterflies lay many almost-invisible eggs simulataneously on plants. These plants, later,
will become a source food for the hatching eggs, called larvae. At the stage of larvae, the hatching eggs
do not look like butterflies. The larvae of butterflies are called caterpillars. The only thing caterpillars do
is eat. The food they eat will be stored and used when they become butterflies. During their growth
before turning into pupas called chrysalises, they shed skin 4 to 5 times. When they are fully grown, they
stop eating ant turn into pupas, hanging under branches, leaver or other hidden areas. Inside the pupas,
the cells of caterpillars turn into parts of butterflies’ bodies. When the caterpillars come out their pupas,
they have already transformed into butterflies. They have compound eyes and long antennae, and legs
and wings. At the final stage of their life cycle, the jobs of butterflies are mating, and laying eggs to
become the next caterpillars.

A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually causes
great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or died. Some people are
homeless and need medical care.

Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto the
surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a
brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat
and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain
cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.

In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring
destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to
surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring
swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.

When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were
invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human
chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to hand to be poured on
the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small village,
only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and
neighborhoods before being controlled.

Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells and replace
the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that can be carried
in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.

The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by
the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva contains digestive
juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.

From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here, the
food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the food enters
the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the
food onwards.

In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic branch
projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.

This short explanation on how a cell phone work is really wonderful. A cell phone or in long term
“cellular telephone’ works by transmitting signals of radio to towers of cellular.

The towers are networked to a central switching station. The connection usually uses wire, fiber optic-
cables, or microwave.

Then the central switching station which handles calls in certain given area is directed connected to the
wire-based telephone system. Cellulars are pick up by the towers and relayed to another cellular
telephone user or the user of wire-based telephone network. The towers vary in the capacity and
capability to receive signals. Some can receive the signal from short distance and the others can receive
more distance. However, there are usually more than one tower in certain given area so that the system
can handle the increasing telephone traffic
