Gelatin is a protein substance that comes from the skins and bones of animals. Most people know
it as the substance used to make a jellylike salad or dessert. Not only is it useful in making these foods,
but it is also beneficial to the consumer because of its high protein content. Gelatin is also commonly
used in the photographic industry and in making medicinal capsules.
The process for producing gelatin is a long and complex one. In the processing of gelatin made from
bones, which varies slightly from that of gelatin make from skin, the grease first must be eliminated. Then,
the bones are soaked in a solution of hydrochloric acid in order to rid them of minerals and are washed
several ties in water. Next, the bones are placed in distilled water, heated to over 90oF for a few hours,
placed in fresh distilled water, and then heated again at a little over 100oF. A fluid forms from this heating,
and it is concentrated, chilled, and sliced. Finally, it is dried and ground. In its final form, gelatin is white,
tasteless, and odorless.

Text 4. The following text is for questions no 16 – 20

In autumn, the colour of the leaves changes into beautiful yellow, red, and brown. Do you know how this happens? To answer that
question, first we have to understand about leaves.
Leaves are the food factories of plants. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and they take carbon dioxide from the
air. Plants need glucose for energy and for their growth.
The plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose. The process is called photosynthesis and the substance that
helps this photosynthesis process is called chlorophyll. This chlorophyll makes plants look green.
As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. The trees "know" that they have to be ready for winter.
During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water for the photosynthesis process. The trees will rest, and use the food that they
have stored during summer. The trees begin to close their food factories. The green chlorophyll substance disappears from the
leaves. As the leaves begin to lose their green colour, they change into beautiful yellow and orange.
In some trees, like maple tree, glucose is trapped in the leaves after the photosynthesis process stops. Sunlight and cool rights turn
the green colour of the leaves into red. Oak leaves become brown because of wastes that are left in the leaves. This combination of
red and brown makes the trees look very beautiful in autumn.

16. What is the best title for the text above?

A. Tree
B. Seasons
C. Photosynthesis
D. The changes of leaves
E. Beautiful Autumn

17. A part of trees which is used to take water from the ground is...
A. branch D. fruit
B. root E. stem
C. leave
18. When do the trees produce their food?
A. in winter D. in summer
B. in spring E. in fall
C. in autumn
19. “The plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose” (paragraph 3). The underlined word “turn” has the same
meaning as …
A. change B. absorb C. dry D. take E. preserve
20. What makes the trees look beautiful in autumn?
A. Because their leaves are doing photosynthesis.
B. Because the trees will rest and use their food.
C. Because they have stored their food.
D. Because sunlight and cool nights turn the color of leaves in maple tree.
E. Because the leaves color of trees change into beautiful combination of colours.

Text 6. The following text is for questions no 25 – 33

It has long been known that when exposed to light under suitable conditions of temperature and moisture, the green parts of plants
use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen to it. These exchanges are the opposite of those that occur in
respiration. The process is called photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water
by the chloroplasts of plant cells in the presence of light. In most plants, the water used in photosynthesis is absorbed
from the soil by the roots and trans- located through the xylem of the root and stem to the leaves. Except for the usually small
percentage used in respiration, the oxygen released in the process diffuses out of the leaf into the atmosphere through the stomata.
Oxygen is the product of the reaction. For each molecule of carbon dioxide used, one molecule of oxygen is released. A
summary chemical equation for photosynthesis is:
As a result of this process, radiant energy from the sun is stored as chemical energy. In turn the chemical energy is used to
decompose carbon dioxide and water. The products of their decomposition are recombined into a new compound, which is
successively built up into more and more complex substances.
After many intermediate steps, sugar is produced. At the same time, a balance of gases is preserved in the atmosphere.

Dear Sabrina,
Please let me express my deepest sympathies to you and the children. I was shocked and shattered when I heard about Frank's
horrific accident. I can't even imagine what you have been going through for the past ten days.
As you know, Frank and I have been colleagues and friends for the past eight years. His tragic loss leaves a terrible void in our
office. He was so well-liked and respected by everyone who came into contact with him, both colleagues and clients alike. He had
tremendous people skills, and as such, was a role model in our company and the industry at large.
Sabrina, please feel free to contact me if I can help in any way while you go through this very difficult period. I will support you in
any way that I can should you reach out to me. Also, please tell the children how terribly devastated all of us are here at the company
due to their Father's tragic passing.
Sincere sympathy,
Darlene Francis
