The following text is for questions number 5 to 8
Smog is a mixture of fog and other ingredients and is considered a form of air pollution.
There are two types of smog. One includes high concentrations of smoke from burning
substances. The other type is caused by a chemical reaction that occurs when certain substances in the
air come in contact with sunlight. Both types of smog generally develop during a condition known as a
temperature inversion. This occurs when a layer of cool air near the ground is trapped by a layer of
warm air above it, and winds are too light to move the layers of air. This condition prevents air from
mixing vertically and keeps the smog concentrated near the ground.
Anything that pollutes the air can contribute to smog. This includes gasses and other
substances produced by burning, coal, wood, gasoline and other fuels; gasses produced during
manufacturing processes; gasses and ash emitted by volcanoes; and even natural gasses and
substances that occur in nature.

Eagle
Eagles are large birds of prey which are members of the bird family Accipitridae, and belong to
several general which are not necessarily closely related to each other. Most of the more than 60
species occur in Eurasia and Africa. Outside this area, just two species (the Bald and Golden Eagles) can
be found in the USA and Canada =, nine more in Central and South America and three in Australia.
Eagles are different from many other birds of prey mainly by their larger size, more powerful
build and heavier head and beak. Even the smallest eagles, like Booted Eagles (which is comparable in
size to a common buzzard or Red-tailed Hawk), have relatively longer and more evenly broad wings, and
more direct, faster flight.
Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large powerful hooked beaks for tearing flesh from their
prey, strong muscular legs and powerful talons. They also have extremely keen eyesight which enables
them to spot potential prey from a very long distance. This keen eyesight is primarily contributed by
their extremely large pupils which ensure minimal diffraction (scattering) of the incoming light.
Eagles build their nests, called eyries, in tall trees or on high cliffs. Many species lay two eggs,
but the older, larger chick frequently kills its younger sibling once it has hatched. The dominant chick
tends to be female, as they are bigger than the male. The parents take no action to stop killing.

Cacti are American plants that are covered in sharp spines and have thick, bulbous green
stems and no leaves.
Most cacti grow in hot, dry regions but a few grow in rainforests and in cold places such as
mountain tops. Cacti in deserts have a thick, waxy skin so as to cut water loss to the bare minimum.
The fat stems of cacti hold a lot of water so they can survive in hot, dry deserts. Because of
their moist stems, cacti are called succulents.
Cacti have spines to protect themselves from animals which will eat any kind of moist
vegetation.

The following text is for questions number 21 to 24
Reptiles are scaly-skinned animals which live in many different habitats mainly in warm
regions. They include crocodiles, lizards, snakes and tortoises.
Reptiles are cold blooded, but this does not mean their blood is cold. A reptile’s body cannot
keep its blood warm, and it has to control its temperature by moving between hot and cool places.
Reptiles bask in the sun gain energy to hunt, and are often less active at cooler times of year.
A reptile’s skin looks slimy, but it is quite dry. It keeps in moisture so well that reptiles can
survive in deserts. The skin often turns darker to absorb the sun’s heat.

Water is a chemical. Chemists say water is compound, a combination of different materials.
It is combination of one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen. An atom is tiny bit of matter.
The three atoms make the tiniest possible drop of water, called a molecule.
Water can be a liquid, a solid or a gas. Liquid water flows. Solid water is ice. Water in the
form of a gas is called water vapor. Nature recycles water all the time. Water in oceans, lakes and
rivers evaporates, or turns into a gas and rises into the air. The water vapor eventually turns back
into a liquid and falls as rain.
The water cycle keeps the total amount of water on earth the same. But most of this water
is salt water in the ocean. People need fresh water for drinking and for growing food on farms.
Ocean water is too salty to drink. It is too salty for watering plants.

The following text is for questions number 36 to 39
The earth receives heat from the sun and reflects some of this heat into space. Carbon
dioxide and other gases in the air act as a blanket to hold onto some of this reflected heat. As a
result, the earth is warm. This is called greenhouse effect.
The cutting down of forests and the burning of fuels cause the air to contain more of the
gases that cause the greenhouse effect. When this happens, the greenhouse effect increases. There
is a rise in temperature all over the world, which is called global warming.
With increased global warming, the ice in the North Pole and South Pole will melt. This will
cause the sea-levels to rise. Plants and animals that are unable to adapt to the higher temperature
will become extinct.

Bees are insects. There are about 20.000 species or kinds of bees. They live everywhere in
the world except on high mountains, in the arctic and Antarctic, and on some small island in the
ocean.
Some bees are as small as 0.08 inch (2 millimeters). However, some bees are as big as 1.6
inches (4 centimeters). Bees come in many colors; black, gray, yellow, red, green or blue. Most bees
live alone. They are called solitary bees. Meanwhile, some bees live in groups called colonies. They
are social bees.
Bees have three pairs of legs and four wings. Like all insects, they have mouthparts and a
tongue for collecting nectar. They carry the nectar in an organ called a honey stomach.
Moreover, bees have special wings that let them fly like a helicopter. They can fly backward,
forward, sideways, or stay in one place in the air. In addition, bees have three regular eyes and two
compound eyes have many lenses. Furthermore, bees can see colors and patterns. This helps them
find flowers.
