At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for elephant ivory, which is used to make carvings, jewelry and other products although it is illegal to sell ivory since 1989 anywhere. "Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss to the illegal ivory trade," Ginette Hemley, Fund's vice president for species conservation, told The Washington Post in September. And so our message is, 'Don't buy it, and don't take that chance'." A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory items between 1995 and 2002. Each week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions; the report said. As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Tiger bones are used as a pain reliever in traditional medicine. Even tiger's whiskers are sold because some people in Asia think they are a goodluck charm like a rabbit's foot in the United States. "Part of our job is education," said Professor Dillon.

It is powered by thermonuclear reactions near its center that change hydrogen into helium. The sun has existed in its present state for about 4 billion, 600 million years and is thousands of time greater than the earth. By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the sun's life will be like. About 5 billion years from now, the core of the sun will become smaller and hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the centre will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the sun will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury. which is the closest planet to the sun. The sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the earth will become too hot for life to exist. Once the sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it becomes smaller to the size of the earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruption called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf. After billions of years as a white dwarf, the sun will have used up all its fi and will have lost its heat. 1. What is the primary purpose of this passage? A. To alert people to the dangers posed by the sun. B. To discuss conditions on earth in the far future. C. To present a theory about red giant stars. D. To describe changes that the sun will go through. 2. It can be inferred from the passage that the sun.......... A. is approximately halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf. B. has been in existence for ten billion years C. will continue as a yellow dwarf for another ten billion years. D. is rapidly changing in size and brightness 3. What will probably be the first stage of change as the sun becomes a red giant? A. Its core will cool off and use less fuel. B. Its surface will become hotter and shrink. C. Its sun will throw off huge amounts of gases. D. Its centre will grow smaller and hotter. 4. When the sun becomes a red giant, what will conditions be like on earth? A. Its atmosphere will freeze and become solid. B. It will be enveloped in the expanding surface of the sun. C. It will become too hot for life to exist. D. It will be destroyed in nova explosions. 5.

Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best answers the question about the passage: Scientists often divide resources into two groups: renewable and non– renewable. When a resource is used, it takes some times to replace it. If the resource can be replaced quickly and easily, it is called renewable. If it cannot be replaced quickly and easily, it is nonrenewable. All fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources. Solar energy, air, and water are usually called renewable because there is an unlimited supply. However, this definition may change if people are not careful with these resources. The amount of solar energy that reaches the earth depends on the atmosphere. If the atmosphere is polluted, the solar energy that reaches the earth may be dangerous. If humans continue to pollute the air, it will not contain the correct amounts of these gases. Many resources are limited and non renewable, and many are in danger of pollution. As a consequence, resources must be conserved and the environment protected. Conservation must become an important part of everyone’s life. 1.

Examples include collecting, creative and artistic pursuits, making, tinkering, sports and adult education. Engaging in a hobby can lead to acquiring substantial skill, knowledge, and experience. However, personal fulfilment is the aim. What are hobbies for some people are professions for others: a game tester may enjoy cooking as a hobby, while a professional chef might enjoy playing (and helping to debug) computer games. Generally speaking, the person who does something for fun, not remuneration, is called an amateur (or hobbyist), as distinct from professional. An important determinant of what is considered a hobby, as distinct from a profession (beyond the lack of remuneration), is probably how easy it is to make a living at the activity. Almost no one can make a living at cigarette card or stamp collecting, but many people find it enjoyable; so it is commonly regarded as a hobby. Amateur astronomers often make meaningful contributions to the professionals. It is not entirely uncommon for a hobbyist to be the first to discover a celestial body or event. In the UK, the pejorative noun anorak (similar to the Japanese 'otaku' meaning a geek or enthusiast) is often applied to people who obsessively pursue a particular hobby that is considered boring, such as train spotting or stamp collecting. 11
