Read the passage, then answer the questions below (2.5pts)
Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that doesn't cause pollution or
waste natural resources? Look no further than solar energy from the Sun.
At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal and gas, oid or nuclear power.
This power could be provided by the Sun. One percent of the solar energy that reaches the
Earth is enough to provide power for the total population.
Many countries are already using solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the roofs of a
house and the Sun's energy is used to heat water. The energy can be stored for a number of
days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy, too.
Sweden has an advanced solar energy program. There, all buildings will be heated by solar
energy and cars will use solar power instead of gas by the year 2015.
Questions:
1. Is solar energy an efficient source of power?

2. Where are the solar panels placed?

3. How long can solar energy be stored?

4. When will cars use solar power instead of gas in Sweden?

5. Is solar energy used in Vietnam now?

electric light seems to be the most useful, it was not his only invention. He also invented the
record player, the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. About every two
weeks he created something new.
He worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he worked so intensely that his wife had
reminded him to sleep and eat.

Japanese people are famous for their well-balanced and healthy diet. That is the main
reason for their longevity.
A. Typically, a Japanese meal consists of rice, miso soup, the main dish(es) and pickles.
Rice is the staple and plays a central part in people's eating habits. Japanese rice is sticky
and nutritious, so when combined with the main dishes and the soup, they make a complete
meal. The portions of each dish are individually served.
B.The most important characteristic of their eating habits is they like raw food and do not use
sauces with a strong favour. Two typical examples are sashimi and sushi. The Japanese
make sashimi simply by cutting fresh fish. Then they serve it with a dipping sauce made from
soy sauce and spicy Japanese horseradish (wasabi). Sushi is similar. The cooked,
vinegared rice can be combined with raw fish, prawn, avocado, cucumber or egg. Sushi is
usually served with soy sauce and pickled ginger.
C. It is said that the Japanese eat with their eyes. Therefore, the arrangement of dishes is
another significant feature of their eating habits. If you join a Japanese meal, you may be
excited to see how the colourful dishes are arranged according to a traditional pattern. In
addition, there are plates and bowls of different sizes and designs. They are carefully
presented to match the food they carry.

Read the passage and answer the questions.

In 1761, an artificial waterway opened. It joined a coal-mining area with the port of
Manchester. This was England’s first man-made waterway, or ‘canal’. Soon the price of coal
in this part of the country went down, and the owner of the Bridgewater canal became rich.
In the late 18th century landowners and businessmen built many new canals to make
money. There was no canal plan for the country, but the canals completely changed the
transport of heavy goods in England. Prices of factory goods went down because transport
cost less than before. One horse could now pull 50 tons on a canal boat. Before, it could pull
less than one ton on a road cart. The canal network was a very important part of the
Industrial Revolution in Britain, but canals had only a short life. In the mid 19th century, the
new railways became the most modern form of transport.
The men who built the canals were called ‘navvies’. They moved around country in groups
from canal to canal. Ordinary people did not like the navvies, because they wore strange
clothes, had no real homes, and because they often drank too much beer.
The Nottingham and Beeston Canal had two parts. It opened in 1796 and was an important
six-mile link in the Trent Navigation - a system of canals and rivers which joined the Midlands
with the River Humber and the port of Hull. This carried goods from inland factories to the
sea. Now it is no longer a working canal. It is a place for people who like walking or fishing.
16. Why did the price of coal round Manchester decrease?
_______________________________________
17. Why didn’t people like the canal builders?
_______________________________________
18. What did the boats on this canal carry?
_______________________________________
19. Why was the waterway from Midland to Hull important?

20. Why did the network of canals become less important in a short time?
