There are many signs of this. _1_ front flippers, used for steering and stability, are traces of feet.Immense strength is built into the great body of the big whales, and in fact most of a whales body is one gigantic muscle. The blue whales pulling _2_ has been estimated at 400 horsepower. One specimen was reported to have _3_ a whaling vessel for seven hours at the _4_ of eight knots.An enraged whale will attack a ship. A famous _5_ of this was the fate of whaler Essex, which was sunk _6_ South America early in the last century. More recently, steel ships have had their plates buckled in the same way. Sperm whales were known to _7_ the old-time whaleboats in their jaws and crush them.The greatest mystery of whales is their diving ability. The sperm whale _8_ the bottom for his favourite food, the octopus. _9_ he is known to go as far down as 3,200 feet, where the pressure is 1,400 pounds, to the square inch. Doing _10_ he will remain submerged as long as one hour. Two feats are involved in this : storing up enough _11_(all whales are air-breathed) and withstanding the great change in pressure. Just _12_ he dose it scientists have not determined. It is believed that some of the oxygen is stored in a special system of blood vessels, rather than just held in the lungs. And _13_ that a special kind of oil in his head is some sort of compensating mechanism that automatically adjusts the internal pressure of his body. But _14_ you cant bring a live whale into the laboratory for study, no one _15_ just how these things work.EXERCISE:1. A)Their B)His C)Theirs D)Its2. A)strength B)width C)height D)length3.

There are countries _1_ the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by _2_ fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be _3_ men, get up and calmly argue _4_ violence- -as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you _5_ despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress _6_. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the _7_ history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that violence never _8_ a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed and the suffering _9_ nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder _10_ hit us.The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions _11_ are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own _12_ because they advocate such apparently outrageous things _13_ law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were _14_, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living- standards and providing education and employment _15_ all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution.EXERCISE:1.

The largest group of religious schools in America _2_ by the Roman Catholic Church. While religious schools tend to be_3_ expensive than private schools, there are usually some fees.When there is free education available to all children in the Unite States, why do people _4_ money on private schools? Americans offer_5_ great variety of reasons for doing so, including the desire of some parents to _6_ their children to schools _7_ classes tend to be smaller, or where religious instruction is included as part of the educational program, or because, _8_ their opinion, the public schools in their area are not _9_ high enough quality to meet their needs. Private schools in the Unite States _10_ widely in size, quality, and in the kind of program that are offered to meet _11_ of certain students.The degree _12_ American parents are active in their childrens schools is often _13_ to people of other countries. Most schools have organizations _14_ of both parents and teachers, usually called P.T.A for Parent-Teacher-Association. They meet together to _15_ various matters concerning the school. Parents often give their time to help with classroom or after school activities.1.A) go B) attend C) take part in D) enroll2.

The only way we can resolve our problem is to make choices. After looking at our resources, we must examine our list of _2_ and identify the things we need immediately, those we can postpone, and _3_ we cannot afford. As individuals, we face the central problem involved in economics-deciding just how to allocate our limited our limited resources to provide _4_ with the greatest satisfaction of our wants.Nations face the same problem. As a countrys population _5_, the need for more goods and services grows correspondingly. Resources necessary to production may increase, but there _6_ are enough resources to satisfy the total desires of a nation. Whether the budget meeting is taking place in the family living room, in the conference room of the corporation _7_ of directors, or in the chamber of the House of Representatives in Washington, the basic problem still exists. We need to find _8_ of allocating limited resources in order to satisfy unlimited wants.A short time ago economists divided goods into two categories, free and economic. The former, like air and water, were in _9_ abundance that economists had no concern for them. After all, economics is the _10_ of scarcity and what to do about it. Today many of these free goods are _11_ very expensive to use. Pollution has made clean air and water expensive for producers extra costs, and _12_ taxpayers who pay for the governments involvement in cleaning the environment.In the 1990s, almost all goods are _13_. Only by effort and money _14_ obtained in the form people wish.Meeting needs of people and the demands from resource available _15_ the basic activity of production. In trying to meet unlimited wants from limited economic goods, production leads to new problems in economics.EXERCISE:1. A) limited B) unlimited C) scarcity D) abundant2.

A report is simply _1_ of something that has happened. The commonest are _2_. We get them in newspapers, over radio and _3_ television. Sometimes cinemas also show us newsreels.The main purpose of a newspaper _4_ provide news. If you _5_ a newspaper closely, you will find that there are all types of news: accidents, floods, fires, wars, sports, books, etc. The news _6_ everything that happens to people and their surroundings. Sometimes there are news items which are very _7_.The big _8_ bold words above the news items are called headlines. Their purpose is to _9_ attention so that people will buy the newspaper because they want to read _10_ of the news.A news report is usually very short, _11_ when it is about something very important, but it _12_ a lot of information. It is also written in short paragraphs. The first paragraph is in _13_ a summary of the news item. It gives all the necessary information: what, when, where, how, why. The other paragraphs give _14_ of the subject. There may also be interviews _15_ peop
