Texting is a new way of exchanging information, and it is becoming more and more popular among the young. In fact, texting is clearly affecting language. There are no rules for it. We are creating a new aspect of vocabulary and opening up a new kind of playful and direct communication. Naturally, texting is fun and that’s fine, but some people are worried about the effects it might have on a child’s ability to read and write. But not everyone is so worried. An expert says, “Every time a new medium comes along it has an effect on language … But this doesn’t destroy the existing language, it adds to it.” In text messages, many words come from shorthand created in email, such as CUS (See you soon) and so on. Someone says, “Mostly they are original, but sometimes you get a clash of meanings. For example, LOL can mean both Laugh Out Loud and Lots of Love. That could lead to some misunderstandings.”

Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question.

Volcanoes have been erupting on the earth for millions of years. More than five hundred of them still erupt today. These are called active volcanoes. Volcanoes are located in belts or chains. They are found where the earth’s crust is weak. The weak spots let the hot rock escape when the volcano erupts.

Many volcano belts are mountain ranges along the edges of continents. One belt runs along the western coast of South America up through the western part of the United States. Other volcanoes are found in ocean basins.

About three-fifths of all active volcanoes in the world are in the Pacific Ocean. Many of these volcanoes erupt under the water. The Hawaiian Islands were built by volcanoes that began erupting under water and finally reached the surface of the ocean.

Read the paragraph and answer the below questions.

Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that doesn't cause pollution or waste natural resource? Look no further than solar energy from the Sun.

At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal and gas, oil 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 laced on the roofs of a house and the Sun's energy is used to heat water. The energy can be stored a number of days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy, too.
