The government published a report yesterday saying that we need to eat more healthily more fruits and vegetables, less fat and sugar. So, that means fewer burgers, chips and fried foods as well as cutting down on sweet things. We went into Central London yesterday at lunch time and asked people what they thought about it. "It's got nothing to do with what government eats," said Paul Keel, a building worker, and Dorothi Mattews, a teacher as they ate beef burgers and chips washed down with strawberry milkshakes. The Kennnor Team, however, welcome the advice. Then, we asked Simpson's restaurant manager about it. "I don't think people believe all of these reports anymore. What they say is good for you in June, then they say bad for you on July. People stopped taking notice. We serve what we've always served. Almost all of it is fattening "

2. What does the restaurant manager think of the report?

Whales are the largest animals on earth. Bigger than elephants, they may grow 95 feet long, and weigh 150 tons. A baby blue whale, just born, can be 23 feet long and weigh 3 tons.

Although whales live in the Oceans and Swims like a fish, they are not fish. They are mammals, like cows and elephants. Unlike fish they bear young alive, not as eggs. Their babies live on their mother's milk. They breathe through their lungs and hold their breath when they go under water. If they cannot come to the surface to breathe fresh air, they will be drowned. They are warm-blodded. Fish, however, lay eggs, breathe oxygenin the water, and are cold-blooded. Whales live in all the Oceans. In the winter, some of them go to the warm water to breed and in the summer, most of them go to the cold water to feed. There are two kinds of whales, whales with teeth (toothed whales) and whales without teeth (baleen whales). The toothed whales eat fish and squid, which they can catch with their teeth, even though they swallow their foods without chewing it. The baleen whales eat plankton (small animals and plants). When they find pankton, they open their mouths and swim into the plankton. When they close their mouth they squeeze out the water and swallow the plankton. Whales have few enemies. Only human beings and the killer whales that attack whales. And whales don't seem to fight among themselves. They usually live from 20-30 years.

5. Which of the following is TRUE about the whales?

Did you ride your bike to school when you were a kid? A generation ago most kids rode, walked or caught the bus to school; very few of us were dropped by our parents at the school gate. These days most of us have experienced the daily traffic jams around schools at drop-off and picked-up times, as parents drive their children to the school gate. While there is a national data on the number of children who walk or ride to school, a recent Victorian survey found nearly half of the children are driven to school every day. Parents choose to drop their kids at school for a number of reasons-mostly do with safely and convenience. But experts say chauffeuring your kids to school every day could mean they are missing out on much-needed exercise and other life skills. Researchers suggest at least a third of Australian children aged 9-16 years are not getting the amount of daily physical activity recommended by national guidelines. But this is not because children's participation in leisure activities has dropped off, says Dr. Jan Garrad. Participation in these activities has not been altered much over the years, Garrad says but what has changed is the level of incidental activity children do. "When you look at countries where children are just active as part of everyday life, they don't have to be sporty. All they have to do is get away around the way the community gets around by walking and cycling, and they get enough physical activity, "she says.

6. The author develops some ideas in paragraph 2 by....

The most familiar speleothems (from the Greek word spelaion for the cave and thema for deposit), the decorative dripstone features found in caves, are stalactites and stalagmites. Stalactites hang downward from the ceiling of the cave and are formed as drop after drop of water slowly trickles through crack on the cave roof. Stalagmites grow upward from the floor of the cave, generally as a result of water dripping from an overhead stalactite. A column forms when a stalactite and a stalagmite grow until they join. A “curtain” or “drapery” begins to form on an inclined ceiling when drops of water trickle along a slope.

7. Which speleothem grows upward from the floor?

We believe the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. At percent we are forced to look to other bodies in the solar system for hints as to what the early history of the Earth was like. Studies of our moon, Mercury, Mars, and the large satelites of Jupiter and Saturn have provided ample evidence that all these large celestial bodies had formed. This same bombardment must have affected Earth as well. The lunar record indicates that the rate of impacts decreased to its present low level about 4 billion years ago. On Earth, subsequent erosion and crustal motions have obliterated the craters that must have formed during this epoch.

Scientists estimate the Earth’s age by measuring the ratios of various radioactive elements in rocks. The oldest Earth’s rocks tested thus far are about 3 1/3 billion years old. But no one knows whether these are oldest rocks on Earth. Tests on rocks form the moon and on meteorites show that these are about 4.6 billion years old. Scientists believe that this is the true age of the solar system and probably the true age of the Earth.
