Something called a lock is used. It is a giant tank. The
tank is big enough to hold a long
boat. The boat floats into the tank, and the doors behind it are closed to lock the boat in there. Then
more water is let into the tank. When the tank is full of water, the tank door in front of the boat is
opened and the boat floats out. The boat floats higher and higher as the water rises. It floats either
out into a higher part of the canal or into another tank or lock, which will lift it still higher.
To go down the hill on the other side, the boat enters a lock that is full of water. As the water
is let out of the lock, the boat will float lower and lower. So locks make it possible for boats or ships
to move from one water level to another.

The Three Sheiks and Queen of Arabia
Maura, who liked to be thought of as the most beautiful and
powerful queen of Arabia, had many suitors. One by one she discarded
them, until her list was reduced to just three sheiks, all equally young and
handsome, rich and strong. It was very hard to decide who would be the
best of them.
One evening, Maura disguised herself and went to the camp of the
three sheiks, as they were about to have a dinner, and asked them for
something to eat.
The first gave her some leftover food; the second gave her some unappetizing camel’s tail;
the third sheik, who was called Hakim, offered her some of the most tender and tasty meat. After
dinner, the disguised queen left the sheik’s camp.
The following day the queen invited the three sheiks to dinner at her palace. She ordered her
servants to give each one exactly what they had given her the evening before.
Hakim, who received a plate of delicious meat, refused to eat it if the other two could not
share it with him, and this act finally convinced Queen Maura that he was the man for her.
“Without question, Hakim is the most generous of you’” she announced her choice to the
sheiks, “So it is Hakim I will marry.”

Petroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosene, home heating oil, residual fuel oil and
lubricating oils, come from one source. Crude oil is found below the earth surface, as well as under
large bodies of water, from a few hundred feet below the surface to as deep as 25.000 feet into the
earth interior. Crude oil is obtained by drilling a hole through the earth, but sometimes more dry
holes are drilled than those producing oil. Pressure at the source, or pumping, forces the crude oil to
the surface.
Crude oil wells flows at varying rates, from ten to thousands of barrel per hour. Petroleum
products vary greatly in physical appearance: thin, thick, transparent, or opaque. Their chemical
compositions are made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which form compounds
called hydrocarbons. Other chemical elements found in the union with the hydrocarbons are few
and are classified as impurities. Trace elements are also found, but these are of such minute
quantities that they are disregarded.
The various petroleum products are refined from the crude oil by heating and condensing the
vapors of crude oil. These products are called light oils such as gasoline, kerosene and distillate oil.

Mangrove Trees
A mangrove is a tropical marine tree or shrub of the genus Rhizhopora. Mangroves have
special aerial roots and salt-filtering tap roots that enable them to thrive in brackish water (brackish
water is salty, but not as salty as sea water).
There are several species of mangrove trees found all over the world. Some prefer more
salinity, while others like to be very close to a large fresh water source (such as a river). Some
prefer areas that are sheltered from waves. Some species have their roots covered with sea water
everyday during high tide. Other species grow on dry land, but are still part of the ecosystem.
Mangroves need to keep their trunk and leaves above the surface of the water. Yet they also
need to be firmly attached to the ground so they are not moved by waves. There are three types of
mangrove roots that play an important role for it:
(1) support roots which directly pierce the soil.
(2) level-growing roots which twist upwards and downwards, eith the upward twists emerging on
the water surface.
(3) level-growing roots whose downward twist (sub-roots) appear on the water surface.
Any part of a root that appears above the water flows oxygen to the plant under water
surface. As the soil begins to build up, these roots produce additional roots that become embedded
in the soil.

Is it important to know what your kids are watching? Of course yes. Television can expose
things you have tried to protect them from, especially violence, pornography, consumerism, etc.
A study demonstrated that spending too much time on watching TV during the day or at
bedtime often causes bedtime disruption, stress, and short of sleep duration.
Another research found that there is a significant relationship between the amount of time
spent for watching television during adolescence and early adulthood, and the possibility of being
aggressive.
Meanwhile, many studies have identified a relationship between kids who watch TV a lot
and being inactive and overweight.
Considering some facts mentioned above, protect your children with the following tips:
1. Limit television viewing to 1 – 2 hours each day.
2. Do not allow your children to have a TV set in their bedrooms.
3. Review the rating of TV shows that your children watch.
4. Watch television with your children and discuss what is happening in the show.

Nuclear power is generated by using uranium, which is a metal mined in various parts of the
world. The first large-scale nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria, England,
in 1956.
Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engines. Nuclear power
produces around 11% of the world’s energy needed, and produces huge amounts of energy. It
causes no pollution as you’d get when burning fossil fuels.
The advantages of nuclear is as follows:
(1) It costs about the same as coal, so it’s not expensive to make.
(2) It doesn’t produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it doesn’t contribute to the greenhouse effect.
(3) It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount uranium.
(4) It produces small amounts of waste.
(5) It is reliable.
On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried
for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore, although it is reliable, a lot of
money has to be spent on safety because if it does go wrong, a nuclear accident can be a major
disaster.
People are increasingly concerned about this. In the 1990’s nuclear power was the fastest
growing source of power in many parts of the world. In 2005, it was the 2nd slowest-growing.

Breaking and Entering is an unusual film. Will and Sandy are two architects working on a
major urban renewal project in the King’s Cross section in London. The area is unsafe and ready for
such a project. Will and Sandy move their offices into a nearby vacant warehouse.
Will has to deal with constant burglaries at his new office. One night, he saw Miro trying to
break into the building. He chased Miro to his run down apartment block and watched him return to
his mother, Amira, a Bosnian immigrant who makes a living tailoring clothes. Soon, Will ‘meet’
Amira and they begin an affair. And Amira learns that Will holds the key of her son’s future. How
far will this mother go to protect her son? Breaking and Entering is a very enteristing film, but it is
almost entirely character driven. This is not a bad thing although in the film we are exposed to a
story or action driven.
Anthony Minghella, the director, creates some of the most believable, interesting characters
these actors have ever played. It is almost painful to watch them on their journey. Each of
characters makes decisions affecting how their lives will play out, or change and these decisions
and actions affect the story. The characters aren’t reacting to the story. They are changing it.

PHILIPPINES : At least nine people were killed and dozens were injured when the
Philippines security forces clashed with dozens of slum dwellers who resisted the tearing down of
their homes in the northern province, a police commander said Tuesday.
Raul Gonzales, the police chief in the northern Cordillera area, said, that the soldiers and
police officers traded gunfire with dozens of people who are illegally occupying the private land in
Kalinga province.
“Our team was ambushed on their way to the community to be demolished,” said Gonzales.

police officers traded gunfire with dozens of people who are illegally occupying the private land in

Last week I took my five-year old son, Willy, to a musical instrument store in my
hometown. I wanted to buy him a set of junior drum because his drum teacher advised me to buy
him one. Willy likes listening to music very much. He also likes asking me everything he wants to
know. Even his questions sometimes seem precocious for a boy of his age. He is very inquisitive.
We went there by car. On the way, we saw a policeman standing near a traffic light
regulating the passing cars and other vehicles. He blew his whistle now and then.
Seeing the policeman blowing his whistle, Willy asked me at once, “Dad, why is the
policeman using a whistle, not a drum?”
Hearing his unexpected question I answered reluctantly, “Because he is not Phil Collins!”

The Incas used to be a large empire of 990 000 km2 in Peru of South America. Their
city was high up in the Andes Mountains. They were well-known for their great wealth,
especially gold. This great empire was unfortunately destroyed in an attack by the
Spaniards who were searching for famed gold. Although this empire existed way back in
1493, it was not backward but complex and well-organized.
The empire was ruled by the Sapa Inca, Lord of the World, Son of the Sun. he
owned everything in the empire – the land, soil, gold and even the people. The people,
therefore, had no freedom.
Boys and girls were to live a life of obedience and tradition. They began working in
their ayllu or family group. The rule was Ama sua, ama llulla, ama sheklla, which means,
“Do not steal, do not lie, do not be lazy.”
Despite this difficult way of life, the Incas were very skilful. They constructed
drainage system and underground water reservoirs. Their buildings were made from huge
stones. These were cut to fit perfectly together so that no mortar was needed. Their rope
bridges were so strong that even a horse could gallop across them!
The Incas had no written language Information was recorded on knotted strings
called quipus. These were also used as calculators. Strong and healthy young boys were
chosen as chasquis or couriers to carry messages from one place to another.

The following text is for questions 42 to 44.
Higher Education for women
In this modern era still some parents who are reluctant about sending their
daughters to college. The narrow attitude shown to women’s education is largely due to
the traditional role of women in society. A woman is expected to be a wife and a mother.
Most parents believe that if their daughter gets married and chooses to be a housewife,
then the higher education will be a waste. However, an educated woman is not only a
better wife but also contributes something to the society.
Nowadays, more and more women are successfully combining their career and
marriage. Educated women are richer both emotionally and financially. They are able to
find an outlet fot their monotonous drudgery of their housekeeping. They bring more
satisfaction and contentment to their lives.
Depriving girls of higher education is crass discrimination. Times have changed;
modern society needs the talents of its people regardless of gender. Today, women work
alongside men. In fact, in the last few decades, women have made outstanding
contributions to society.
Women should be given the freedom to be educated whether or not they get
married or go to work after finishing their education, because it is only through education
that a woman will find herself useful and discover what she wants in life. A woman who
works is not an insult to her husband. Conversely, her husband should feel proud of her
achievements since marriage is actually an equal partnership.
Therefore, parents should not think that girls should receive less education just
because they will get married one day.

Text 4
The following text is for questions 28 to 32.
There are a lot of discussions as to whether children should be given homework or
not.
Some people claim that children do enough work in school already. They also argue
that children have hobbies that they want to do after school, such, as sports or music. A
further point they make is that a lot of homework is pointless and doesn’t help the child
learn at all.
However, there are also strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and
teachers argue that it is important to find out whether children can work on their own
without the support from the teacher. They say that the evening is a good time for children
to sit down and think about what they have learned in school.
Furthermore they claim that the school day is too short to get anything done that
needs doing and it makes sense to send home tasks like independent reading or further
writing tasks that don’t need teacher’s support.
On balance, I think that some homework is a good idea but that it should only given
at the weekend when children have more time.
