Once upon a time, there were two close friends who were walking through the forest together. They knew
that anything dangerous can happen any time in the forest. So they promised each other that they would
always be together in any case of danger.
Suddenly, they saw a large bear getting closer toward them. One of them climbed a nearby tree at once.
But unfortunately the other one did not know how to climb up the tree. So being led by his common sense,
he lay down on the ground breathless and pretended to be a dead man.
The bear came near the one who was lying on the ground. It smelt in his ears, and slowly left the place
because the bears do not want to touch the dead creatures. After that, the friend on the tree came down and
asked his friend that was on the ground, “Friend, what did the bear whisper into your ears?” The other
friend replied, “Just now the bear advised me not to believe a false friend.”

The following test is for question 7 to 10.

Ant-eaters are perhaps the most curious looking animals.

Their long head and snout look like tubes, and they have no teeth at all. Their
front legs are very strong and armed with heavy curved claws with which they
break open the nets of ants and termites and then, when the insects rush out, use
their long, sticky tongues to lick them up at great speed.
True ant-eaters are found in the swamps and forests of central and South America.
Scaly ant-eaters, or pangolins, are found in Africa and tropical Asia.
Various other insect-eating animals are sometimes called ant-eaters, although they
really belong to other groups of animals. One of them is the ant-bear, which lives
on the plains of South and Central Africa. This has long, erect ears but short blunt
claws, an almost hairless tail, yellow brown in color. Unlike the true ant-eaters, it
has small teeth.

A cactus (plural: cacti) is any member of the plant family Cactaceae, native to the Americas. They are often
used as ornamental plants, but some are also crop plants. Cacti are grown for protection of property from wild
animals, as well as many other uses.
Cacti are part of the plant order Caryophyllales, which also include members like beets, gypsophila, spinach,
amaranth, tumbleweeds, carnations, rhubarb, buckwheat, plumbago, bougainvillea, chickweed and knotgrass.
Cacti are unusual and distinctive plants, which are adapted to extremely arid and hot environments, showing a
wide range of anatomical and physiological features which conserve water. Their stems have adapted to
become photosynthetic and succulent, while the leaves have become the spines for which cacti are well
known.
Cacti come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. The tallest is Pachycereus pringlei, with a maximum recorded height of
19.2 m, and the smallest is Blossfeldia liliputana, only about 1 cm in diameter at maturity. Cactus flowers are large, and
like the spines and branches arise from areoles. Many cactus species are night blooming, as they are pollinated by
nocturnal insects or small animals, principally moths and bats. Cacti range in size from small and globular to tall and
columnar.

The following test is for question 40

HOW TO COOK RICE

1. Bring the water to a boil: Bring the water to boil in a small saucepan. Rice expands as it cooks, so use a
saucepan large enough to accommodate. A 2-quart saucepan for one to two cups of uncooked rice is a good
size.
2. Measure the rice and water: For most rice, use a 1:2 ratio of one cup of rice to two cups of water. Measure a
half cup of uncooked rice per person and scale this ratio up or down depending on how much you’re making.
Some rice varieties will need a little less or a little more water as it cooks, so check the package for specific
instructions.
3. Remove the lid and fluff: Fluff the rice with a spoon or a fork, and let it sit for a few moments to “dry out” and
lose that wet, just-steamed texture
4. Rice is done when tender: Start checking the rice around 18 minutes for white rice and 30 minutes for brown
rice. When done, the rice will be firm but tender, and no longer crunchy. It is fine if it’s slightly sticky but
shouldn’t be gummy. If there is still water left in the pan when the rice is done, tilt the pan to drain it off.
5. Turn off the heat and let stand a few minutes, covered. This steams the rice just a little more.
6. Cover and cook: Cover the pot and turn the heat down to low. Don’t take off the lid while the rice is cooking
— this lets the steam out and affects the cooking time.
7. Add the rice: When the water has come to a boil, stir in the rice, salt, and butter (if using), and bring it back to
a gentle simmer
8. Serve the rice: Left over rice keeps well in the fridge for several days, so you can make extra ahead to serve
later.
9. Rinse your rice: It’s good practice to rinse your rice in a strainer before cooking. This isn’t strictly necessary,
but it will rinse off any dusty starch on the surface of the rice along with any leftover chaff or stray particles.
(Some rices have more starchy coating than others.)

40. Based on announcement above, which statements are true or false?

Statements True False

For most rice, use a 1:2 ratio of one cup of rice to two cups of
water
Start checking the rice around 18 minutes for white rice and
30 minutes for brown rice.
Cover the pot and turn the heat down to high
Start checking the rice around 35 minutes for white rice and
30 minutes for brown rice.
