When we were in English last year, I went fishing with my friend, Peter. Early in the
morning we were sitting quietly by the side of a lake when we had an unpleasant surprise.
We saw a duck coming along with three ducklings paddling cheerfully behind her. As we
watched them, there was a sudden swirl in the water. We caught a glimpse of the vicious
jaws of a pike- a fish which is rather like a freshwater shark- and one of the ducklings was
dragged below the surface.

Page 42

The incident made Peter furious. He vowed to catch the pike. On three successive
mornings, we returned to the vicinity and used different kinds of bait. On the third day
Peter was lucky. Using an artificial frog as bait, he managed to hook the monster. There
was a desperate fight, but Peter was determined to capture the pike. And he succeeded.
When he got it ashore and killed it, he weighed the fish and found that it scaled nearly
thirty- a record for that district.

VI.Read the passage then choose the correct answer to each of the questions:
ROUTINES
Think about your daily life. Do you follow the same work every day? Do you sit in the
same place in class? When you get dressed, do you always put the same leg or arm in first?
You probably do, because we all have routines in our lives.
Routines save time and energy because you do them without thinking, that's why they
are so important in the morning when your brain isn't active. Here's Jo talking about her
morning routine: “Oh yes. I always do exactly the same things. I wake up at seven o'clock
every morning, but I don't get up till quarter past seven. I switch on the radio and listen to
the news. Then I go to the loo and I brush my teeth. I have a shower and dry my hair. Then
I choose my clothes and I get dressed. I don't eat anything for breakfast. I just have a cup of
coffee. Then I go to work. Yes, it's always the same.'
Routines are very useful, but they also make you uncreative. So sometimes it's a good
idea to break your routines. Get out of bed on the opposite side. Listen to a different radio
station. Take a different route to work. Eat something different for breakfast. Change your
routine. You never know, it could change your life.
26. According to the passage, routines are useful because____________.
A. they save time and energy B. they make a habit of never thinking
C. we can do them in the morning D. we all have them in our lives
27. The word 'loo' in the second paragraph can best be replaced with____________.
A. sink B. bedroom C. balcony D. toilet
28. What is the main disadvantage of routines?
A. Routines make us unable to create things or to have new ideas.
B. Routines may change our life.
C. Routines make a habit of never thinking before doing.
D. Routines make us do the same things day after day.
29. Which of the sentences is true?

In the last 100 years, technology has completely changed the way we live. At the touch

electricity, aero planes, television and we have ever been to the moon. So what sort of
inventions will there be in the 21st century? Indeed, is there anything important still left to
invent?
It seems that there is. Scientists all over the world are looking into Nanotechnology with
a great deal of interest. This is the science of building small machines - and when we say
small, we mean very small. To give you an idea of the size scientists are talking about, these
machines would be about a million billion times smaller than the smallest bit of dust.
Nanotechnology will bring about enormous changes. Doctors, for example, will be able
to cure any illness. The environment will be improved because it will be possible to take the
polluted air we breathe and make it clean again. But perhaps the most exciting thought of all
is that we won't have to wait a thousand years for Nanotechnology - many people believe
there is a good chance it will come in our lifetime.
