WATER CYCLE
Transpiration is the passage of water through a plant from the roots through to the atmosphere.
Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in rivers, lakes or the ocean and turns it into vapour
or steam. Water vapour in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds. This is
called condensation. Precipitation occurs when so much water has condensed that the air
cannot hold it anymore. The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of
rain. When water falls back to earth as precipitation, it will collect in the oceans, lakes or rivers
or it may end up on land.

Questions 16-25
Read the following descriptions and answer the questions that follow.
Aerobic Exercise
A
e
Regular aerobic exercise can help you live longer and healthier. Healthy adults
should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous
aerobic activity a week. That does not have to be all at one time, though. Aerobic exercise
can even be done in 10-minute increments. So what are you waiting for?
For many obese people, walking is a great choice. In fact, walking is one of the most
natural forms of exercise. It is safe and simple and all it takes to get started is a good pair
of walking shoes and your commitment to do it.You will be surprised how much you can
easily shed some kilos from your body weight.
Boost up your stamina by enrolling yourself in an aerobic dance class. It may make
you tired in the short term but slowly it will reduce fatigue. More importantly for beginners,
try jogging around your neighbourhood area. As you jog, the heart pumps blood more
efficiently, which improves blood flow to all parts of your body. Thus, you would not suffer
from cardiovascular diseases. For patients who suffer arthritis, doctors would advise
swimming as a therapy as it may ease the pain without stressing their joints.
Stay active and independent as you age. Traditional aerobic exercise like Tai-chi
also keeps your mind sharp and can remove the gloominess of depression. Thus, it brings
relaxation to your mind and mood. Studies show that people who participate in any regular
aerobic exercise live longer than those who do not exercise regularly
So, are you ready to get more active? Great! Just remember to start with small steps
and it is advisable to get your doctor's approval first. Do it slowly first, then steadily and
regularly.

Questions 26 -31 are based on the following passage.
1
Shangri-La, a place surrounded by snow-capped mountains and where the people live
peacefully to over a hundred years. The air is pure and flowers are everywhere. People are
happy, helpful and healthy. This is what Kathmandu should be. Not so when I went there.
The town was dusty, many of the people had hard life written on their faces and petty
traders were trying to make a quick dollar from tourists. Out-dated motor vehicles were 5
spewing white smoke from inefficient engines. I had to wrap my towel round my face to feel
comfortable, breathing. I was there on my way to the base camp of Annapurna, a mountain
in Nepal.
The next day, I proceeded to Pokara, the starting point of the trek. I had the choice of
flying there or going by bus through narrow roads and ravines. I decided to fly as I was 10
advised that the bus ride was dangerous coward that I was. The start of the trek was behind
some shacks at the side of a shallow ravine. There were some Tibetan ladies selling trinkets
to tourists and some locals drinking tea as if they had nothing to do in the world. But once
the trekking started, it was a dream come true. The air was pure because there were no
motor vehicles of any kind there except helicopters which flew overhead. Later we had to 15
cross suspension bridges like the ones in Indiana Jones movies except that these had metal
wires.
The trek was uphill all the time with little respite. Now and then we came to broad flat
ledges but after that, it was climbing up and up again. I took my time and admired the snowcapped mountains, the rustic villages I passed through (two or three houses actually) and all 20
the time I was conscious of the fresh air I was breathing in. It was invigorating, mostly
because this has always been my dream: to trek in the foothills of the Himalayas.
I had chosen the right season (October) because the rains had stopped and the
rhododendrons which grew in bushes and trees were in full bloom. Walking through a forest
of these flowers was more like the Shangri-La I dreamed of. Moss hung down from the 25
branches of these century-old trees.
My pack which contained my camera, raincoat and water bottle was beginning to feel
heavy. And as I sat down to appreciate the vista which spread before me, I heard the porter
whistling as he carried my heavy bag past me. He was wearing slippers while I was in
trekking boots I bought at great cost back in Kuala Lumpur.
30
Nights were spent in little huts along the trek. It was cold and bathing was a problem
except in rest lodges which had hot water. They use solar power and since the sun was
hardly out when I was there, hot water was in short supply. Food was interesting. It was
mainly western food apple pie and pizzas were common. At Chomron, I had to wake up at
4 a.m. and walk up Poon Hill in the dark. I arrived at the summit just as the sun was rising. 35
If there had been music, it would have been my idea of heaven clean clear air, cold breeze
and the changing colours of the mountain ranges which surrounded the summit.

The panoramic view was astounding as the sun rose and showed more clearly each peak
with each passing minute. There were almost a hundred trekkers there but conversation was
quiet. Somehow sound didnt carry well in the chilly rarefied air. But all too soon, the sun 40
became too hot and I had to descend. I rested in Chomron for another night and ordered
chicken curry for dinner. It cost me RM20 for the chicken because their staple meal was
dalbat (lots of rice with lentil curry, potatoes and some vegetables). It must very good
because the porters who survived on this were extremely strong, with fabulous stamina.
When I made my final walk to the base camp at Annapurna, I met some trekkers who had 45
to stay the night at a lodge at the entrance. Some were suffering from mountain sickness
headache with nausea due to the height of the place. As I walked, snow began to fall. I
crossed small glaciers where a slip meant sliding down to the valley below. Since no one
seemed to bother about walking on the narrow ledges, I also plucked up my courage and
picked my way across. Soon, I was trudging on snow and ice. Breathing became laboured. It 50
wasnt much fun now but since the experience was novel, I was motivated.
The base camp loomed through the falling snow about one kilometre in front but now the
climb was steep. It took more than an hour to reach it. What a feeling of success I had when
I took the final step into the lodge of the base camp. That was until I met a thinly clad
Sherpa who said he was 70 years old and had been climbing up here every year. He was 55
sipping a cup of cocoa a trekker bought him and obviously he didnt think getting there was
a big deal. And here I was, raising my arms in jubilation as I made the final step.
