Nowadays, people are more concerned about global warming. Global warming is the increase in
the Earth's temperature. Global warming harms many aspects of living.
First, the world sea levels rise. The polar ice, around Greenland, is melting. Many researchers
have predicted that the sea level will increase by 88cm in the 21 st century.

the northern part. This may cause a decrease in the floating ice in northern waters.

our Earth from global warming by saving energy in our homes, such as by turning off the light in
daytime and by replanting trees.

Once upon a time, there lived a shepherd boy who tended his master's sheep in a place far away
from the village. The pasture was surrounded by a dense and dark forest. He did not have much to
entertain himself with, except for playing with his dog. As a result, he got bored very quickly.
One day, he thought of something fun. He imagined if he ever had to encounter a wolf. He
remembered that he was taught to call for help from the villagers to drive the wolf away from the village.
Therefore his plan was to run to the village and shout for help even though he had not seen anything. He
kept shouting, "Wolf! There is a wolf!" while acting very scared. The villagers quickly gathered and ran
towards the pasture only to find the shepherd boy laughing, with no wolf in sight. Because his first try
was successful, he did it again, for the second time, in a few days. Again, the villagers got tricked and
laughed at by the shepherd boy.
A couple of days later, the boy saw a wolf appearing from the forest which attacked one of the
sheep. He ran straight to the village while shouting for help, "Wolf! Wolf!" with all his might. However,
the villagers did not want to help him, thinking it was just another prank.
They got back to work and ignored the boy. With no one to help, the shepherd boy lost a few
sheep as the wolf disappeared back into the forest.

The following text is for questions 39 to 42.

Many people live in dense, dirty areas where narrow, shallow rivers are located. There is a
potential risk of flooding, which might be caused by both humans and nature. Human bad habits are
some of the main causes of flooding. People throw garbage and trash in the river. The flow is blocked and
consequently, the water spills onto the land.
In addition, natural phenomena may result in dangerous floods. Naturally, floods happen when
rain is extremely heavy, over an unusually long period of time. In some cases, areas that experience a
great deal pf snow in winter are prone to springtime flooding when the snow and ice melt, especially if
the thaw is relatively sudden. Rainfall and melted snow can sometimes combine to cause floods.
A unique combination of factors sometimes also causes floods. For instance, whenever the ocean
is at high tide, a low-lying coastal area is at risk of flooding. Exceptionally high tides may be attributed to
storms, caused by a combination of factors, like low barometric pressure and high winds.
Finally, floods can occur regardless of the climate. Examples are volcanic heating and rapid
melting of a snow pack atop a volcanic mountain or under a glacier, or even failures of natural or man-
made dams, and tsunamis, seismic waves on the sea or large lakes that are caused by earthquakes.

The following text is for questions 43 to 45.

Digestion is the process by which food is digested into smaller particles or molecules for use in
the human body. Digestion starts from the mouth and stomach, but most takes place in the small
intestine. In these places, the food is mixed with substances called enzymes, which speed up chemical
reactions in the food. The fats, proteins, and carbohydrates (starches and sugar) in the food are made up
of very complex molecules and must be digested or broken down.

When digestion is completed, starches and complex sugar are changed into simple sugar, fats are
digested into fatty acids and glycerine, and proteins are digested into amino stream. Other foods such as
vitamins, minerals, and water do not need digestion. The rest of the food passes into the large intestine.
Water is taken back into the body. The remains, or faeces, go to the rectum.
