friend can prevent us from developing serious psychological problems such as depression and

friends with people who share common interests – at school or through hobbies, for example.

A Friend of Liberality

same way I did about her. I was continually saying unpleasant things to her, making fun of her,
snubbing her.
One day as I was going home from school, the girl caught up with me and told me that our
teacher wanted me to come back for a while. I did not believe her and walked on down the street,
leaving the girl standing alone.
The next day when I got to school, our teacher asked me: “Why didn’t you come back to the
school as I asked you to ?” I said: “I didn’t know you wanted me ?”. The teacher sent for the girl
and asked her: “ Did you tell Rose to come back ?” The girl answered, “I’m sorry, but I didn’t tell
her. I couldn’t catch up with her”. I was surprised and suddenly realized how pretty she was. I felt
I ought to be ashamed of myself and I found out all my fault in comparison with her liberality.

Different regions have different rates of population growth, but in the 20th century, the
world saw the biggest increase in its population in human history due to medical advances and
massive increase in agricultural productivity made by the Green Revolution.
In 2000, the United Nation estimated that the world’s population was then growing at the
rate of 1.14% (or about 75 million people) per year. According to data from the CIA’s 2005 –
2006 World Fact books, the world human population currently increases by 203,800 people every
day. The 2007 CIA fact book increased this to 211,090 people every day.
Globally, the population growth rate has been steadily declining from its peak of 2.19% in
1963, but growth remains high in the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa.
In some countries there is negative population growth, especially in Central and Eastern
Europe (mainly due to low fertility rates) and Southern Africa (due to the high number of HIV –
related deaths). Within the next decade, Japan and some countries in Western Europe are also
expected to encounter negative population growth due to sub – replacement fertility rates.
Population growth which exceeds the carrying capacity of an area or environment results in
overpopulation. Conversely, such areas may be considered “under-populated” if the population is
not large enough to maintain an economic system.

Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In

many of them died. But in the following summer Native Americans showed them what foods

thank God and the Native Americans for the fact that they had survived.
Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part
of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal
includes turkey, sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of
sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own
special recipe. Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie.
On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. In New York there

VII. Read the passage and choose the correct answers:
The scarcity of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious. They are
endangered because poachers hunt them in order to sell tiger pelts and elephant ivory.
At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for 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 good-luck charm – like a rabbit’s foot in the United States. “ Part of our job is
education,” said Professor Dillon. “ The other part is law enforcement. So we have more than one
strategy.”

Read the passage and choose the correct answers:
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 non-renewable. All
fossil fuels are non-renewable 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.
