TORNADOES

Have you ever seen the movie The Wizard of Oz? A tornado sweeps up Dorothy
and Toto, sending them to a new world where there are witches and talking
lions! That entire story is fiction, but tornadoes are real and they are serious
business. In fact, they can be the most dangerous storms of all.

Tornadoes are sometimes referred to as twisters or cyclones. They are shaped

like a cylinder. They are born in thunderclouds. The winds inside a tornado swirl
around and around and can be more than 300 miles per hour (mph). The winds
are so strong that tornadoes can lift animals, cars and even houses.

The United States has more tornadoes than any other country in the world.
States such as Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska are hit hard by
tornadoes. This part of the country is known as “Tornado Alley”. Tornado season
is during the springtime and summer. If the conditions are right, a tornado can
happen any time of year.

Scotland: The Land of Legends

If we travel all over Scotland, we can see that it consists of three main parts:
Lowlands, Uplands and Highlands with their Grampian Mountains, where the
tallest mountain peak, Ben Nevis, is located.

You are sure to enjoy the beauty of the Scottish varied landscape: the hills
covered with purple heather, its beautiful lakes (here they are called lochs), its
green and narrow valleys.

The biggest and the most beautiful lake in Scotland is Loch Lomond, but the
most famous one is Loch Ness with its mysterious monster Nessie. Nessie
sometimes appears to scare the tourists but only in fine weather!

But what can be more curious and attractive for tourists than a man in the kilt,
playing the bagpipes? The Celts of Scotland made the chequered pattern of
tartan - the national dress of the country. The earliest Scots formed themselves
into clans (family groups) and the tartan became a symbol of the sense of
kinship. There are about 300 different clans in Scotland, and each has its own
color and pattern of tartan together with the motto.

Scotland is a land of many famous people: writers and poets, scientists and
philosophers, such as Robert Burns, Arthur Conan Doyle, Alexander Graham
Hell, or Alexander Fleming.

Saving the Environment: One Home at a Time

Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes.
It comes from household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the
waste people produce and throw away. What can be done to stop this pollution?
Surprisingly, a person can help save the environment by doing simple things.

First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again.
Recycling can also reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper
products. It takes very little effort. It is not hard to place plastic and glass bottles,
aluminum cans and paper in a bin. Anyone can do it.

Second, we need to watch the amount of water used in the home. It can be
conserved by taking short showers instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets,
using the dishwasher or washing machine only when fully loaded, or simply
turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth.

Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever possible, but

should also try to use this waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and
food scraps can be made into compost for plants. The average person produces
4.3 pounds of waste every day, but we can reduce that amount by recycling and
reusing.

If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep the planet from becoming
more polluted.

26. Pollution can be caused from the following sources except_____________.

A. house chemicals B. water from household

C. wastes D. water in rivers

A. never cut down trees B. use products again and again

C. place garbage bins easily D. produce more paper products

28. In order to save water, we can do all of the following things except________.

A. take short showers instead of baths

B. repair leaky faucets

C. fully use the washing machine

B. a person can do it in his home

C. waste can be recycled and reused

D. an average man produces compost for plants
