Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of thequestions.
Isn’t it amazing how much time we spend talking about food?, “Have you ever eaten......?”, “What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal, and that what other people eat is strange or silly.
In most part of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating, like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a large amount of beer, and the French drink wine every day.
The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. Newzelanders eat sheep meat, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don’t like eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy raw fish.
So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is little common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always been eating, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.

A tsunami is a natural disaster more devastating than earthquakes, tornadoes or any other disaster you can think of. Tsunami is a Japanese word that means harbor wave. A tsunami happens when huge waves are formed after something under the ocean occurs to make these large waves form. Erupting volcanoes can also cause tsunamis to occur. The waves start in one area but they move quickly in all different directions once the tsunami begins. Tsunamis begin as an under the water earthquake. The force of the earth moving causes the water to move and produce huge waves. Waves from tsunami cam travel through the water as fast as 500 miles per hour. As they approach the coast, they continue to grow in size before smashing down on the cities and towns along the coastline. These waves can often be as high as 100 feet, causing much destruction.

VI. Read the passage carefully, then decide whether the following statement are true (T) or false (F).
Mars, commonly referred to as "the red planet," is the fourth planet from the sun. Its reddish color comes from the high amounts of iron oxide on its surfaco. Mars has surface features similar to those found on the moon and on Earth. It has ranges, volcanic fields, valleys, ice caps, canyons and deserts. Mars is much smaller than the Earth. It has approximately half the radius of Earth. Mars orbits the Sun a little further than Earth. Mars takes 686 days to orbit Sun. In other words, the orbital period of Mars is almost twice as long as Earth's orbital period. Many spacecrafts have attempted to visit Mars, the most notable of which was NASA's Mariner 4, the first to.visit in a fly-by in 1965. In 1976, Viking 1 and 2 became the first spacecrafts to conduct successful and sustained landings on Mars. They provided the first color photographs of the "red planet."

33. The Earth is four times larger than Mars. F
34. It takes Mars much longer to orbit the Sun than it does Earth. T

One of the most lethal poisons on Earth, ten thousand times more deadly than cyanide, is tetrodotoxin, more concisely known as TTX. Its potency is well known in East Asia, where it regularly kills (26. DINE) ___diners___ who have braved the capricious (27. DELICATE) __delicacy____ known as puffer fish. This toxin has a (28.
