Read the passage and complete the sentences.

      One of the main sources for the spreading of news and events through out the world is the newspaper. The purpose of newspaper is to inform the public of political, social, economic and entertainment happenings, among other things. Generally, there are three types of newspapers. Daily newspapers publish at least one edition every weekday. Most dailies also have a weekend edition. Daily newspapers often have sections for news, sports, arts, and entertainment, business, and classified advertising. Weekly newspapers print once a week and cover news of interest to readers in a smaller area than that of a daily paper. They focus on local happenings rather than national or international events. Special-interest newspapers may publish daily, weekly, monthly, or even less frequently. They generally disseminate news of interest to a particular group of readers of feature news about a specific topic.

      Thanks to the development of Internet, we can now get access to electronic newspapers. To some extent, e-newspapers are cheap, up-to-date, and convenient for most readers in the world.

THE POSTAGE STAMP

      Before the invention of the postage stamp, it was difficult to send a letter to another country. The sender paid for the letter to travel in his or her own country. Then the person in the other country paid for that part of the trip. If a letter crossed several countries, the problem was worse.

      Rowland Hill, a British teacher, had the idea of the postage stamp with gum on the back. The British post office made the first stamps in 1840. They were the Penny Black and the Twopence Blue. A person bought a stamp and put it on a letter, the post office delivered the letter. When people received letters, they didn’t have to pay anything. The letters was prepaid.

      Postage stamps became popular in Great Britain immediately. Other countries started making their own postage stamps very quickly.

      There were still problems with international mail. Some countries did not want accept letter with stamps from another countries. Finally, in 1874, a German organized the Universal Postal System. Each country in the UPS agreed to accept letter with prepaid postage from the other members. Today the offices of the U PS are in Switzerland. Almost every country in the world is a member of this organization. It takes care of any international mail problems.

      Today post offices in every country sell beautiful stamps. Collecting stamps is one of the most popular hobbies in the world, and every stamp collector knows about the Penny Black and the Twopence Blue.

On the other hand, celebrities have no private, that make they are constantly judged. They are judged for the clothes they wear, their bodies, make-up, personalities and cars that they drive. Newspapers, magazines, blogs and social networks you can always find the rude, nasty, insulting, and derogatory and lies about celebrity’s daily routine. It’s like we forget that they’re human beings.

Fame carries also worry about your own safety and the safety of your family. There is always a danger that a crazy fan may try to kidnap or kill you or your children, so it is necessary to employ bodyguards.

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.

1. What does the word “it” in line 2 refer to?

A. aging B. a living thing C. an illness D. an accident

2. All the followings may be the outward signs of aging EXCEPT ­________.

A. the graying of the hair B. the wrinkling of the skin

C. the decline in hearing and eyesight. D. the loss of appetite

3. When does the human body begin to lose vigor and the ability to function efficiency?

A. Soon after reaching adulthood B. During childhood

C. Early adulthood D. Past middle age

4. What happens to memorization when the brain begins to age?

A. It works less B. It becomes forgetful

C. It declines D. It slows down

5. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. All living things grow old.

B. Aging is unavoidable in any livings things.

C. Plants show less signs of aging than any other living things.

D. Most body parts wear out during the courses of a lifetime.
