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.
"After a stint with Nacional da liha da Madeira, he signed with Sporting Portugal in 2001."

Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain microbes. Antibiotics destroy other microbes that
damage human tissues. They are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, including gonorrhea, tonsillitis
and tuberculosis. Antibiotics are sometimes called ‘wonder drugs' because they can cure diseases such
as meningitis, pneumonia and scarlet fever. But when the antibiotics are overused, or misused, these
drugs make a person sensitive being attacked by a superbug.
Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous microbes. If a drug
destroys too many harmless micro-organism, the pathogenic ones -the dangerous microbes- will have a
greater chance to multiply. This situation often leads to the development of a new infection called
superinfection. Extensive use of some antibiotics may damage organs and tissues. For example,
streptomycin, which is used to treat tuberculosis, has caused kidney damage and deafness.
Resistance to antibiotics may be acquired by pathogenic microbes. The resistant microbes
transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes and cause them to become resistant. During
antibiotic treatment, non-resistant microbes are destroyed, but resistant types survive and multiply.
To avoid the side effect of antibiotics, you'd better not urge your doctor to prescribe antibiotics.
Keep in mind that antibiotics are only useful for bacterial infections and have no effect on viruses, so
they cannot be used for children pox, measles, and other viral diseases.
Choose one from the following which is not the effect of using antibiotics improperly?
a. Pathogenic microbes become non-resistant.
b. Organs and tissues are damaged.
c. The pathogenic microbes multiply.
d. Harmless micro-organism are destroyed.
e. New infection which is called superinfection develops.
A kangaroo is an animal found only in Australia. It has a smaller relative, called a wallaby,
which lives on the Australian island of Tasmania and in New Guinea.
Kangaroos eat grass and plants.They have short front legs, but very long and strong back legs and a tail.
These are used for sitting up and for jumping. Kangaroos have been known to make forward jumps of
over eight metres, and leap across fences more than three metres high. They can also run at speeds of
over 45 kilometres per hour.
The largest kangaroos are the Great grey kangaroo and the Red Kangaroo. Adult grows to a
length of 1.60 metres and weighs over 90 kilos.
Kangaroos are marsupials. This means that the female kangaroo has an external pouch on the front of
her body. A baby kangaroo is very tiny when it is born, and it crawls at once into this pouch where it
spends its first five months of life.
….. are used for sitting up and for jumping.

Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) - Astronomer and Scientist. Galileo developed a superior telescope
and made many significant discoveries in astronomy. He was sentenced to life imprisonment by the
inquisition for his support for the Copernican theory that the sun was at the centre of the solar system.
Galileo was born in Florence, Italy in 1564 to a poor but noble family His parents recognized their child's
innate intelligence and talents and so made sacrifices to have him educateD. At his father's insistence,
Galileo studied the profitable career of medicinE. But, at the University of Pisa, Galileo became
fascinated in a wide range of subjects. He was also critical of many of Aristotle's teaching which had
dominated education for the past 2,000 years.
Galileo was appointed to be a mathematics professor at the University of Pisa, but his strident
criticisms of Aristotle left him isolated among his contemporaries. After three years of persecution, he
resigned and went to the University of Padua, where he taught maths. His entertaining lectures
attracted a large following and he was able to spend the next 18 years pursuing his interests in
astronomy and mechanics.
From the fact that Galileo Galilei was imprisoned for supporting the Copernican theory, which later was
proven to be true, we know that Galileo Galilei was …
a. Reckless
b. Tenacious
c. Stubborn
d. Foolish
e. Arrogant

Whales are sea-living mammals. They therefore breathe air but cannot survive or land. Some
species are very large indeed and the blue whale, which can exceed 30 meter length, is the largest
animal which lives on earth. Superficially, the whale looks rather like a fish, but there are important
difference in its external structure; its tail consists of a pair of broad, flat horizontal paddles (the tail of a
fish is vertical) and it has a single nostril on top of its breadth, broad head. The skin is smooth and shiny
and beneath it lies a layer of flat (blubber). This is up to 30 meter in thickness and serves to conserve
heat and body fluids.

The polar bear is a bear native to the Arctic Ocean and its surrounding seas. An adult male
weighs about four hundred to six hundred and eighty kilograms, while an adult female is about half that
size. Although it is closely related to the brown bear, it has paws to occupy a narrow ecological niche
with many bony characteristics adapted to for cold temperatures, for moving across the snow, ice, open
water, and for hunting seals which make up most of its diets. Although most of polar bears are born on
land, it spends most of its time at sea, hence its name meaning maritime bear and can hunt consistently
only from sea ice. It spends much of the year on frozen sea.
Where did the animal live?
a. In the South Atlantic Ocean.
b. In the Indian Ocean.
c. In the North Atlantic Ocean.
d. In the Arctic Ocean
e. In the Pacific Ocean.
An elephant is the largest and strongest animals. It is a strange looking animal with its thick legs,
huge sides and backs, large hanging ears, a small tall, little eyes, long white tusks and above all it has a
long noise, the trunk.
The trunk is the elephant's peculiar feature, and it has various uses. The elephant draws up
water by its trunk and can squirt it all over its body like a shower bath. It can also lift leaves and puts
them into its mouth. In fact the trunk serves the elephant as a long am and hand. An elephant looks very
clumsy and heavy and yet it can move very quickly.
The elephant is a very intelligent animal. Its intelligence combined with its great strength makes
it a very useful servant to man and it can be trained to serve in various ways such as carry heavy loads,
hunt for tigers and even fight.

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards (the
scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes are not
slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to
reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are cold-blooded; they
need the sun's warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in tress, some live in water, but most
live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old logs.
A snake's diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, and mice and other snakes. The Anaconda can eat small
crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Some snakes are protected
by scaring their enemies away like the Cobra. The flying snakes glide away from danger. Their ribs
spread apart and the skin stretches out. Its technique is just like the sugar gliders.
Sice the snakes are cold-blooded, they…
a. live on the ground in deserted burrows
b. avoid sun-bathing to their skins
c. like sucking the cool blood
d. require the sun's warmth to heat their bodies
e. never sun bathe in the warm weather
Blueberries, cranberries, and huckleberries-like dark skinned bunch grapes-contain restorative, a

potential anticancer agent. That's a new finding from preliminary data from ARS collaborative studies
with Rutgers University-New Jersey and Ag Canada, Kent ville, Nova Scotti. Restorative protects dark-
skinned bunch grapes from fungal diseases and provides health benefits to consumers, including
protection from cardiovascular disease. The compound's anticancer potential warranted its examination
in other fruits.
Using gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric procedures, the scientists measured the
restorative content of 30 whole fruit samples of blueberry, cranberry, huckleberry, and related plants
representing 5 families and 10 species of Vaccination fruit. They found that several samples contained
varying amounts of the compound. Analysis of extracts of the skin, juice/pulp, and seed of muscadine
grapes showed that its concentration in fruit skin was highest. Levels in the juice/pulp were much lower
than in either skin or seeds. Researchers are continuing to analyze more Vaccination and muscadine
samples.
10. What does the second paragraph talk about?
a. Researchers plan to produce resveratrol in large scale.
b. Several samples contains various amount of resveratrol.
c. The experiment analyzes 30 fruit samples of blueberry, cranberry and huckleberry.
d. More Vacciniumand muscadine will be analyzed.
e. The experiment showed that resveratrol is mostly concentrated in the fruit skin.

For many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were the
chimpanzees. Now, however, there is a proof that dolphins may be even cleverer than
these big apes.
Although a dolphin lives in the sea, it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many ways,
therefore, like a human being.
Dolphins have a simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It may be
possible for man to learn how to talk to dolphins. But, this will not be easy because
dolphins cannot hear the kind of sounds man can make. If man wants to talk to
dolphins, therefore, he will have to make a third language which both he and the
dolphins can understand.
Dolphins are also very friendly toward man. They often follow ships. There are many
stories about dolphins guiding ships through difficult and dangerous waters.

Gold is a precious metal. Gold is used as ornaments or as money. Gold is found in

many places, but in a small supply. It is often found on the surface of the earth. Since
gold is a heavy substance, it is sometimes found loose on bottom of rivers. The gold is
found together with sand and rocks, and must be separated from them. It is simple to
search for this type of gold. It is not usually necessary to drill for gold, but when a layer
of gold is located deep below the surface of the earth, it is possible to drill a hole into the
ground. Engineers have developed modern process for removing gold from rocks. Since
gold is not very hard, it is sometimes melted and added to other substances for making
rings, coins, and art objects. It will be priced forever because it is beautiful, rare, and
useful.

Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain microbes. Antibiotics destroy other

microbes that damage human tissues. They are used to treat a wide variety of diseases,
including gonorrhea, tonsillitis and tuberculosis. Antibiotics are sometimes called
‘wonder drugs' because they can cure diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia and
scarlet fever. But when the antibiotics are overused, or misused, these drugs make a
person sensitive being attacked by a superbug.
Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous
microbes. If a drug destroys too many harmless micro-organism, the pathogenic ones -
the dangerous microbes- will have a greater chance to multiply. This situation often
leads to the development of a new infection called superinfection. Extensive use of
some antibiotics may damage organs and tissues. For example, streptomycin, which is
used to treat tuberculosis, has caused kidney damage and deafness.
Resistance to antibiotics may be acquired by pathogenic microbes. The
resistant microbes transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes and cause them
to become resistant. During antibiotic treatment, non-resistant microbes are destroyed,
but resistant types survive and multiply.
To avoid the side effect of antibiotics, you'd better not urge your doctor to
prescribe antibiotics. Keep in mind that antibiotics are only useful for bacterial infections
and have no effect on viruses, so they cannot be used for children pox, measles, and
other viral diseases.
What are discussed in paragraph two and four?
a.
Both paragraphs explain how antibiotics damage organs and tissue.
b.
Both paragraphs describe how antibiotics work.
c.
Both paragraphs tell about the effects of misusing antibiotics.
d.
Paragraph two tells what causes the pathogenic microbes multiply and paragraph four

microbes.

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards
(the scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along.
Snakes are not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin.
Their skin is hard and glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are cold-
blooded; they need the sun's warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in tress, some live in water,
but most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old
logs.
A snake's diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, and mice and other snakes. The
Anaconda can eat small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves
with their fangs. Some snakes are protected by scaring their enemies away like the
Cobra. The flying snakes glide away from danger. Their ribs spread apart and the skin
stretches out. Its technique is just like the sugar gliders.
