Read the passage and answer the questions. THE POSTAGE STAMP       Before the invention of the postage stamp, it was difficult to send a letter to another country. The sender paid for the letter to travel in his or her own country. Then the person in the other country paid for that part of the trip. If a letter crossed several countries, the problem was worse.       Rowland Hill, a British teacher, had the idea of the postage stamp with gum on the back. The British post office made the first stamps in 1840. They were the Penny Black and the Twopence Blue. A person bought a stamp and put it on a letter, the post office delivered the letter. When people received letters, they didn’t have to pay anything. The letters was prepaid.       Postage stamps became popular in Great Britain immediately. Other countries started making their own postage stamps very quickly.       There were still problems with international mail. Some countries did not want accept letter with stamps from another countries. Finally, in 1874, a German organized the Universal Postal System. Each country in the UPS agreed to accept letter with prepaid postage from the other members. Today the offices of the U PS are in Switzerland. Almost every country in the world is a member of this organization. It takes care of any international mail problems.       Today post offices in every country sell beautiful stamps. Collecting stamps is one of the most popular hobbies in the world, and every stamp collector knows about the Penny Black and the Twopence Blue.   Questions 1.   Why was it difficult to send a letter to another country before the invention of the postage stamp?       .....................................................................................................................................................       ..................................................................................................................................................... 2.   Why were the postage stamps popular?       .....................................................................................................................................................       ..................................................................................................................................................... 3.   How did other countries react with the postage stamps?       ..................................................................................................................................................... 4.   What does the Universal Postal System do today?       ..................................................................................................................................................... 5.   Why do stamp collectors know about the Penny Black?       .....................................................................................................................................................

Read the passage and complete the sentences.       One of the main sources for the spreading of news and events through out the world is the newspaper. The purpose of newspaper is to inform the public of political, social, economic and entertainment happenings, among other things. Generally, there are three types of newspapers. Daily newspapers publish at least one edition every weekday. Most dailies also have a weekend edition. Daily newspapers often have sections for news, sports, arts, and entertainment, business, and classified advertising. Weekly newspapers print once a week and cover news of interest to readers in a smaller area than that of a daily paper. They focus on local happenings rather than national or international events. Special-interest newspapers may publish daily, weekly, monthly, or even less frequently. They generally disseminate news of interest to a particular group of readers of feature news about a specific topic.       Thanks to the development of Internet, we can now get access to electronic newspapers.

Read the passage and answer the questions below. ENGLISH IS CONFUSING       “Good evening, everybody!” said the teacher, Donna. “Where is everybody?” That was sort of a daily joke by Donna. Usually the class started with only two or three students present, and then filled up as the minutes went by. It was summertime. Summer school was only eight weeks long. Class attendance was always smaller than during fall and spring semesters.       “I don’t know, teacher. Maybe they late or no come,” said one student. “Maybe watching TV football tonight.”       “Is there a soccer game tonight? It seems like there’s a soccer game every night. Oh, well. Let’s get started, okay? We’re on page 36 in the workbook. Tonight we’re studying participles as adjectives. Students are always confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we will practice this a lot. Tonight, we’re just going to practice the present participle.       “The present participle tells us what emotion or feeling the subject is causing. For example, ‘Grammar is boring’ means that the subject – grammar – causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, ‘The movie is interesting,’ we are saying that the movie causes a feeling of interest. If we say, ‘The roller coaster is exciting,’ we are saying that the roller coaster causes a feeling of excitement. Any questions so far? Am I confusing you? Is everyone confused?”       The classroom was quiet. Donna looked at blank faces. They were confused. She knew this would take a while. But eventually, the faster students would grasp it, and then they would help the slower students. By the end of the evening, most of the class would feel comfortable using the present participle.       Donna erased the board and put some new examples on it. She loved guiding her students through difficult topics like this one. She always felt a little bit thrilled when the look of understanding came to their faces. 1.   What was Donna’s daily joke?       ..................................................................................................... 2.   How many students were usually present when class started?       ..................................................................................................... 3.   Which season was it?       ..................................................................................................... 4.   How long did summer school last?       ..................................................................................................... 5.   What was always smaller in the summer?       ..................................................................................................... 6.   What were some absent students doing, perhaps?       ..................................................................................................... 7.   What was tonight’s subject?       .....................................................................................................

It stores food in its hump. The camel’s body changes the food into fat. Then it stores the fat in its hump. It cannot store the fat all over its body.
