A geyser is the result of underground water under the combined conditions of high temperatures and increased pressure beneath the surface of the each. Since temperatue rises approximately one degree F for every sixty feet under the earth’s surface, and pressure increases with depth, water that seeps down in crachs and fissures until it reaches very hot rocks in the earth’s interior becomes heated to a temperatue in excess of 290 degrees F. Because of the gressure, it shoots out of the surface in the form of steam and hot water. The result is a geyser.For the most part, geysers are located in three regions of the world : New Zealand, Iceland, and the Yellowstone National Park area of the United States. The most famous geyser in the world is Old Faithful in Yellowstone Park. Old Faithful erupts almost every hour, rising to a height of 125 to 170 feet and expelling more then ten thousand gallons during each eruption1.
1. In order for a geyser to erupt,.................
.A. Hot rocks must rise to the sufface of the earth
B. water must flow underground
C. it must be a warm day
D. the earth must not be rugged or broken
2. Old Faithful is located in.....................
A. New Zeland
B. Iceland
C. the united States
D.England
3. Old Faithful erupts......................
A. every 10 minutes
B. every 60 minutes
C. every 125 minutes
D. every 170 minutes
4. A geyser is...................
A. hot water and steam
B. cracks and fissures
C. hot rocks
D. great pressure
5. As depth increases,......................
.A. pressure increases but temperature does not
B. temperature increases but pressure does not
C. both pressure and temperature increase
D. neither pressure nor temperature increases

Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each of the questions.
Aging is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an illness or accident does not kill it prematurely. The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people, such as the graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin. Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include lass of playfulness and energy, a decline in hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat. Plants age too, but the signs are much harder to detect.
Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood. They reach their peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood. After that, they begin to decline. Bones, for example, gradually become lighter and more brittle. In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more inflexible. This can make moving very painful.
All the major organs of the body show signs of aging. The brain , for example, works less efficiently, and even gets smaller in size. Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down. Old people often have trouble in remembering recent events.
One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead from the heart. They become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow the rest of body. This condition accounts, directly or indirectly, for many of the diseases of the aged. It may, for example, result in heart attack.
Aging is not a uniform process. Different parts of the body wear out at different rates. There are great differences among people in their rate of aging. Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age. The majority of cells are capable of reproducing themselves may times during the course of a lifetime. Nerve cells and muscle fibers can never be replace once they wear out.
Gerontologists- scientists who study the process of aging- believe this wearing out of the body is controlled by a built- in biological time clock. They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow down the process. This could give man a longer life and a great number of productive years.

Read the passage and fill in each of the blanks with ONE suitable word.
True relaxation is most certainly not a matter of flopping down in front of the television with a welcome drink. Nor is it about drifting (1) into an exhausted sleep. Useful though these responses to tension and over-tiredness (2) can be, we should distinguish between them and conscious relaxation in (3) terms of quality and effect. (4) regardless of the level of tiredness, real relaxation is a state of alert yet at the same time passive awareness, in which our bodies are (5) at rest while our minds are awake.
Moreover, it is as natural for a healthy person to be relaxed when moving as resting. (6) Being relaxed in action means we bring the appropriate energy to everything we do, so as to have a feeling of healthy tiredness by the end of the day, (7) rather than one of exhaustion. Unfortunately, as a result of living in today’s competitive world, we are under constant strain and have difficulty in coping, (8) let alone nurturing our body’s abilities. What needs to be rediscovered is conscious relaxation. With (9) that in mind we must apply ourselves to understanding stress and the nature of its causes (10) how deep-seated.
The passage below contains TEN mistakes. Underline them and write the correct forms in the numbered boxes.
Large animals inhabit \(\Rightarrow\) inhabiting the desert have evolved adaptations for reducing the effects of extreme hot \(\Rightarrow\) heat. One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect the Sun's rays. Desert mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of maintaining a constantly \(\Rightarrow\) constant body temperature. Instead of try \(\Rightarrow\) trying to keep down the body temperature inside the body, what \(\Rightarrow\) which would involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert mammals allow their temperatures rise \(\Rightarrow\) to rise to what would normally be fever height, and temperatures as high as 46 degree \(\Rightarrow\) degrees Celsius have been measured in Grant's gazelles. The overheated body cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the temperature may fall unusual \(\Rightarrow\)unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel. This is a \(\Rightarrow\) an advantage since the heat of the first few hours of daylight absorb \(\Rightarrow\) absorbed in warming up the body.
