Passage 1: People have smoked cigarettes for a long time now The tobacco, which is

used to make cigarettes, was first grown in what is now part of the United States.Christopher Columbus, who discovered America, saw the Indians smoking Soon the driedleaves were transported to Europe where smoking began to catch on In the late 1800s, theTurks made cigarettes popular

Cigarettes smoke contains at least two harmful substances, tar, and nicotine Tar, whichforms as the tobacco burns, damages the lungs, and therefore affects breathing Nicotine,which is found in the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases the breathingrate Smoking cigarettes is dangerous The US Public Health Service states that cigarettesmoking is the cause of lung cancer and several other deadly diseases The USgovernment now requires that each package of cigarettes bears a special warning aboutthe dangers of smoking

1 Who was the first to smoke?

Passage two: It is almost impossible to write of the Arts in Australia without mentioning

the building that first put Australia firmly on the world cultural map - the Sydney OperaHouse Completed in 1973 after 14 years of much heated discussion and at a cost of over

$85 million, it is not only the most well-known Australian building in the world butperhaps the most famous design of any modern building anywhere

The Opera House was designed not by an Australian but by a celebrated Danish architect,Jorn Utzon, whose design won an international competition in the late 1950s However, itwas not, in fact, completed to its original specifications Plans for much of the intendedinterior design of the building have only recently been discovered Sadly, the State

Government of the day interfered with Utzon’s plans because of the concerns about theescalating cost, though this was hardly surprising - the building was originally expected tocost only $8 million Utzon left the country before completing the project and in a fit ofanger vowed never to return The project was eventually paid for by a state-run lottery.

1 When did the Opera House first appear in design?

Passage three: The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health Although

science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, at the same time, mademany foods unfit to eat Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of allhuman illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet aswell, especially cancer of the colon Different cultures are more prone to contract certainillnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures That food is related toillness is not a new discovery In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates andnitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, causedcancer Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes moredifficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food arehelpful or harmful The additives which we eat are not all so direct Farmers often givepenicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk oftreated cows Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicalpurposes, but for financial reasons The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals inorder to obtain a higher price on the market Although the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue

Passage I: There are many ways of communication without using words Signals, signs,

symbols and gestures may be found in every culture The basic function of a signal is toattract attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit Signs containmore meaning in and of themselves A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaningquickly and conveniently Symbols are more difficult than either signals or signs because

of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions Gestures such aswaving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages.

1 What is the basic function of a signal?

Passage 2: Sir Winston Churchill (1871-1965) was the greatest British statesman of

modern times During his long, colorful public career, he was a Member of Parliament for

63 years He also held almost every government post And most important of all, he ledhis country to victory in World War II He also wrote many important books and was atalented painter

In May 1940, he became Prime Minister Throughout the war, Churchill showed greatstrength and energy He worked for a long period with little sleep and traveled manythousands of miles By courage and determination expressed in his speech, he inspired thepeople of Britain to keep on fighting In the general election at the end of the war, theConservative Party, of which he was the leader, was defeated But he became PrimeMinister again in 1951 He resigned as Prime Minister in 1955

1 When did Churchill first become Prime Minister?

Passage 3: Mystery surrounds the early history of the North American continent The

original settlers, the Indians, are believed to have migrated from Northern Asia to Alaska,and from there down into warmer climates The physical appearance of the AmericanIndians, with their black hair, copper tint and high cheekbones, suggests their Orientalorigin More credence is lent this theory by scientists estimates that some 20,000 years

ago, during the most recent glacial period, North America and Asia were linked at theBering Strait.

1 Who were the original settlers of the Northern American continent?

Passage 4: Earnest Hemingway began his career as an ambitious, young American

newspaperman in Paris after the First World War His early books, including “The SunAlso Rises” were published in Europe before they were released in the United States.Hemingway always wrote from experience rather than from imagination In “Farewell ToArms”, published in 1929, he recounted his adventures as an ambulance driver in Italyduring the war In “For whom The Bell Tolls”, published in 1940, he retold his memories

of the Spanish Civil War

1 When did Earnest Hemingway start his writing career?

Passage 5: Are we at the beginning of another Age of Exploration? Perhaps even more

important, are we at the beginning of another Age of Colonization? As the population ofthe world increases toward the point where the earth can no longer support all the peoplecrowded on it, the second question has become urgent Will we discover a new world, asColumbus did, on which human life will be possible? At this point in the space age, no onecan really answer these questions We can say, however, that we will not see tomorrowthe kinds of space travel that science fiction and the movies have shown It will be a longtime before we have flights that run regularly to human colonies on the moon or one of

the planets We are not even going to be able to take immediate advantage of theminerals that we may find on the planets in our own solar system.

1 What periods may we be at the beginning of?

Passage 6: Great problems must be solved before we can send colonists out into space.

The distances that must be covered and the length of time it takes to cover them canhardly be imagined There are also dangers that we still do not really understand - fromradiation, for example, or from pieces of matter out in space, or from contamination fromforms of life that might exist there There is also the need for humans to take their ownenvironment into space with them So far no “island” has been discovered in space onwhich people can exist without systems that support life, and these systems mustaccompany any future space travelers Finally, on the most practical level, there is theenormous expense involved in space exploration The U.S and Russian governmentshave already spent billions of dollars for projects from which they can receive a returnonly in knowledge and not in money

1 What is one problem about travel in space?
