Field hockey and ice hockey have many similarities. They are both played on a rectangular area. There are goals with nets at the ends of each playing area. Players carry wooden hockey sticks for both sports. Each team attempts to get the scoring device across the goal line. There are also many important differences between the two sports. Field hockey began in England, while ice hockey originated in Canada. Field hockey is played on a grassy field, while ice hockey is played on an ice rink. Eleven field hockey players run across the field wearing shoes and shin guards, trying to hit a ball into the goal. Conversely, ice hockey players glide across the rink wearing skates, helmets, and a lot of protective padding. There are six players from each team on the ice at one time, trying to hit a puck into the goal.

Read the following paragraph:

Millions of people around the world have trouble getting to sleep at night. In fact, one in three people report having this problem. If you are one of these people, there are things you can do to get a good night’s sleep. First, doctors recommend that you go to bed and get up at the same time every night, including weekends. Keep the same routine every night at bedtime. Another solution is to avoid eating or drinking foods with caffeine. Coffee, tea, soda, and chocolate are often high in caffeine and should be avoided. Also, do not exercise within three hours of bedtime. Try to do something relaxing before heading to bed. Avoid watching scary or intense television programs, and do not think about stressful events. These are just a few ideas that can help you get a complete night of sleep.

1. Read the following paragraph:

Which one is it- an alligator or a crocodile? These two animals look almost the same because they are both reptiles with similar body parts and body structures. However, if you look closely, you will see some small differences. Crocodiles have long, narrow snouts shaped like a 'V', while alligators have wider snouts shaped like a 'U'. Unlike the alligator, you can see both the upper and lower teeth on a crocodile, and they are exposed in an interlocking pattern when the mouth is closed. However, you can only see an alligator’s upper teeth when its mouth is closed. Another slight difference is their color. A crocodile has an olive-brown color, while alligators are usually darker, almost black.

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals.

The word depict is closest in meaning to _______.

• show

• count
