Influenza is contagious disease, primarily of the respiratory tract. Influenza is
sometimes referred to as grippe. Influenza is caused by a virus transmitted from one
person to another in droplets coughed or sneezed into the air. It is characterized by
cold like symptoms plus chills, fever, headaches, muscle aches, and fatigue.
Influenza viruses pass from person to person mainly in droplets expelled during
sneezes and coughs. When a person breathes in virus-laden droplets, the
hemagglutinin on the surface of the virus binds to enzymes in the mucous membranes
that line the respiratory tract. The enzymes, known as proteases, cut the
hemagglutinin in two, which enables the virus to gain entry into cells and begin to
multiply. These proteases are common in the respiratory and digestive tracts but not
elsewhere, which is why the flu causes primarily a respiratory illness with occasional
gastrointestinal symptoms. In the 1990s scientists discovered that some flu strains also
can use the enzyme plasmin to cut hemagglutinin. Plasmin is common throughout the
body, enabling the flu strains to infect a variety of tissues.

A hurricane is a powerful storm with pouring rains and strong winds. Hurricanes
can do a lot of damage. They cause floods. They blow down trees. Windows break and
roofs fly off of houses.
Hurricanes start over the ocean. They form over warm water near the equator.
The equator is an imaginary line that goes around the middle of the planet.
Hurricanes move across the water. They grow stronger if they stay over warm water.
Some hurricanes head for land. Hurricanes can do a lot of damage if they come up on
land. But hurricanes grow weaker the farther inland they go. They also grow weaker
over cold water.
In the past, hurricanes often hit land without being detected beforehand. Today,
weather satellites ensure that this never happens. As a storm begins to threaten land,
forecasters call on military or civilian aircraft for detailed storm data that satellites
cannot supply. When a storm comes within about 160 km (100 m) of land, weather
radar images also become available. Forecasters use several computer models, which
combine observational data from all around the world and mathematical equations, to
make
1
forecasts. But since forecasts from different models often disagree, they are
merely tools to help humans make predictions.
During a hurricane, everyone should stay indoors and away from doors and
windows, even if they have protective covers. If debris begins striking the house, those
inside should seek refuge in an interior bathroom, closet, or under a stairwell. People
should not go outdoors when the wind dies down because the storm’s eye could be
passing over and winds could quickly begin blowing again at full speed. Wait until radio
announcements say that the hurricane has passed before going outside.

Corrosion happens when the atoms on the surface of an object undergo a chemical
reaction with atoms from the environment. The chemical reaction produces new
substances that change the material's color or texture. These might not bind to the
material very tightly, so the material's surface might start to become rough or weak
and is more easily worn away by wind or rain.
Corrosion is a common problem with many metals. One of the metals that it affects
most often is iron. When iron corrodes, it combines with water and oxygen molecules
from the air to form a new substance called iron oxide, which is reddish-brown in color.
It is rust.

Glacier is an enduring accumulation of ice, snow, water, rock, and sediment that
moves under the influence of gravity. Glaciers form where the temperature is low
enough to allow falling snow to accumulate and slowly transform into ice. This
accumulation is most common in the Polar Regions, but can also occur at high altitudes
on mountains even near the equator. Glaciers are complex systems that grow and
shrink in response to climate.
Glaciers wax and wane not only with long-term climate change but also on a seasonal
basis. Snow falls in winter, accumulates, and slowly turns to ice when it is compressed
by additional snow loads. In summer the upper snow layers thaw and melt water runs
off; this loss is called ablation. The glacier’s mass balance or budget then turns from
positive to negative as it loses mass. The balance is neutral or in equilibrium from year
to year if the glacier does not experience any mass loss or gain. A complex series of
processes determines the glacier’s health.

A. The condition of glacier in summer
B. The glacier’s health
C. The condition of glacier in winter
D. The effect of climate on glacier
E. The definition of glacier

Iceberg is a mass of freshwater ice that is calved, or broken off, from a glacier or
an ice shelf (a huge slab of permanent ice that floats on water near the edges of polar
land masses) and that floats in the ocean or in a lake. Ice floats because it is less
dense than water.
As ice in coastal glaciers slides toward sea level, it eventually breaks off and falls
into the ocean in various-sized pieces. The smallest pieces, which are football-size to
table-size chunks less than 2 m (7
3
ft) in diameter, are called brash ice. Larger pieces that float low in the water are
called growlers because waves washing over them produce a growling sound. Bergy
bits are ice pieces between 2 and 5 m (7 and 16 ft) in diameter. All larger bodies of ice
are called icebergs. Glaciers feeding into an icecap or ice sheet push the ice shelf out
to sea. Ice shelves float on the ocean and can be 200 to 300 m (650 to 980 ft) thick.
The pieces that eventually break off from ice shelves can form icebergs hundreds of
kilometers long and tens of kilometers wide. These icebergs may weigh billions or even
trillions of tons. Icebergs that break off from ice shelves are called tabular icebergs
because their flat upper surface resembles a flat tabletop.

Inflation is simply a rise in the average price of goods and services in the macro
economy. Which particular goods and services depends on the measure we are
examining. Consumer price inflation is the one usually in the news, and it takes a
weighted average of various items purchased by the typical household (the list being
determined by survey and then updated periodically). The average can rise while some
prices have actually fallen, and how much it reflects your personal situation is a
function of how closely the basket of goods and services in the index matches your
buying patterns. But, the bottom line is that we say that inflation has occurred when
the average price of those goods and services has increased.
Demand-pull inflation is caused by increases in aggregate demand due to
increased private and government spending, etc. Demand inflation is constructive to a
faster rate of economic growth since the excess demand and favorable market
conditions will stimulate investment and expansion.
Cost-push inflation, also called "supply shock inflation," is caused by a drop in
aggregate supply (potential output). This may be due to natural disasters, or increased
prices of inputs. For example, a sudden decrease in the supply of oil, leading to
increased oil prices, can cause cost-push inflation. Producers for whom oil is a part of
their costs could then pass this on to consumers in the form of increased prices.
Built-in inflation is induced by adaptive expectations, and is often linked to the
"price/wage spiral". It involves workers trying to keep their wages up with prices
(above the rate of inflation), and firms passing these higher labor costs on to their
customers as higher prices, leading to a 'vicious circle'. Built-in inflation reflects
events in the past, and so might be seen as hangover inflation.

A monopoly is a market condition in which a single seller controls the entire output
of a particular good or service. A firm is a monopoly if it is the sole seller of its product
and if its product has no close substitutes.
The first and simplest way for a monopoly to come about is for a single firm to
own a key resource. For example, if a small town had many working wells owned by
different firms, no firm would have a monopoly on water. If, however, there were only
one working well in town, the firm owning that well would be considered a monopoly.
Although exclusive ownership of a key resource is one way for a monopoly to arise,
monopolies rarely come about for this reason.
In many cases, monopolies have arisen because the government has given a firm
the exclusive right to sell a particular good or service. For example, when a
pharmaceutical company discovers a new drug, it can apply to the government for a
patent. If the patent is granted, the firm has the exclusive right to produce and sell the
drug for a set number of years. The effects of such a government created monopoly
are easy to see. In the case of the pharmaceutical company, the firm is able to charge
higher prices for its patented product and, in turn, earn higher profits.
A natural monopoly occurs when a single firm can supply a good or service to an
entire market at a lesser cost than could two or more firms. An example of a natural
monopoly is the distribution of water in a community. To provide water to residents, a
firm must first put into place a network of pipes throughout the community. If two or
more firms were to compete in providing the water distribution, each would have to
pay the fixed cost of building a network. In this case, the average total cost of water is
lowest when one firm serves the entire market.

For many people, immigrating from one country to another will often be a very
difficult and stressful process, and can include a lot of upheaval and changes both in
lifestyle and in the work that they do, but the motivating factors for immigration can
often be just as important as making the move.
One of the main reasons for immigration is poverty. This leads to higher category
that is for economic reasons, especially in industries where some countries can be
much more advanced and highly paid than others, and especially in industries that are
highly paid this is a big motivating factor. It will end to be skilled workers who will use
this as their reason for immigration, and when it comes to people moving because of
their skills and trade, this will often be a more welcome form of immigration, especially
when these people already have work in place before they move.
An important factor in the choice of many people to move will also be for personal
or health reasons. There are many conditions such as arthritis where living in a cold
climate can make it especially painful, but by moving to a country with a warmer
climate, then they will often be able to get a great deal of relief. Others will simply
want to move because they feel they have gone as far as they can in their current
surroundings, and are looking for a fresh start. Whatever the reason behind the move,
there are plenty of articles and helpful guides here on thecivil society.info that help
people with their big move.
25. “…and can include a lot of upheaval and changes both in lifestyle and in the
work that they do,..” (par 1) The underlined word has the same meaning with…
A. advancement
B. trouble

The following text is for question number 28-30!
Acid Rain is a form of air pollution in which airborne acids produced by electric
utility plants and other sources fall to Earth in distant regions. The corrosive nature of
acid rain causes widespread damage to the environment. The problem begins with the
production of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from the burning of fossil fuels, such
as coal, natural gas, and oil, and from certain kinds of manufacturing. These acid
pollutants reach high into the atmosphere, travel with the wind for hundreds of miles,
and eventually return to the ground by way of rain, snow, or fog, and as invisible “dry”
forms.
The process that leads to acid rain begins with the burning of fossil fuels. Burning,
or combustion, is a chemical reaction in which oxygen from the air combines with
carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and other elements in the substance being burned. The new
compounds formed are gases called oxides. When sulfur and nitrogen are present in
the fuel, their reaction with oxygen yields sulfur dioxide and various nitrogen oxide
compounds. Once in the atmosphere, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides undergo
complex reactions with water vapor and other chemicals to yield sulfuric acid, nitric
acid, and other pollutants called nitrates and sulfates. The acid compounds are carried
by air currents and the wind, sometimes over long distances. When clouds or fog form
in acid-laden air, they too are acidic, and so is the rain or snow that falls from them.
28. What is the text about?
A. Acid rain
B. The effect of acid rain
C. The formation of acid rain
D. The elements of acid rain
E. The danger of acid rain

A. The definition of acid rain
B. The substances in acid rain
C. The danger of acid rain
D. How acid pollutes the soil
E. The process of acid rain formation
30. Acid rain will rarely happen in:
