The extremely hot and humid weather that occurs in the United Slates in July and August
is commonly called the dog days of summer. This name comes from the star Sirius, which is
known as the Dog Star. Sirius is the brightest visible star, and in the hot summer months it rises in
the east at approximately the same time as the Sun. As ancient people saw this star rising with the
Sun when the weather was at its hottest, they believed that Sirius was the cause of the additional

BRAVE SAILORS
Several hundred years before the voyages of Columbus, America was visited by men called
Vikings. These brave warriors came from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and iceland. Many of them
were good sailors and made long voyages. They learned to make strong boats that could travel
long distances over the seas. These small ships, which usually measured about seventy feet long
and sixteen feet -wide, had oars and single sails.
In many countries the Vikings were greatly feared. Sweeping down upon towns and villages,
they would loot and burn them and then would return to their ships. Sometimes, however, the
Vikings would settle in a place and quickly learn the ways of the people.
It is believed that the Vikings established small settlements in North America. These
settlements, however, were so far from their homes that they could not be maintained. Because of

AN IMPORTANT FUEL
One of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century was a method of using
natural gas for cooking and heating. Large amounts of natural gas are found in the United States,
usually several thousand feet below the surface of the earth . Natural gas in most often found in
places where petroleum, the oil from which gasoline is made, is found. Often the natural gas must
be removed before oil itself can be reached.
103

For many years after natural gas was first discovered. It was thought to have no value.
Finally, however, people began to understand its uses and to find ways of storing it and of moving
it from place to place.
Today natural gas is stored in large tanks and used for lighting, cooking and heating. In many
ways natural gas is one of our finest fuels. It can be used for cooking without making the room
hot. It is cheap and can be moved easily from one place to another through long pipelines, some

Many of our great men were poor boys. As boys, these men had small means of obtaining an
education. Improving their use of time when they were young and in school helped them to gain
their standing.

young. After he became President of the United States, he was able to guide and direct a growing
nation. Many people have said that time is the most valuable thing we have.

Passage 17:
RING AROUND THE MOON
Have you ever noticed a coloured ring around the moon? According to an old superstition,
this ring always means that rain will follow. Another superstition holds that the number of stars
within the ring indicates the number of days it will rain.
Actually, the coloured ring means hat clouds containing moisture in the form of tiny ice
crystals have formed several miles up. As rays of light from the moon pass through these ice
crystals, the rays are bent. Such bent light rays produce the coloured ring.
However, such a ring can be seen only when enough moisture has formed in the air. When other
weather conditions also exist, these may combine with the moisture to cause rain. The belief, then,
is partly correct. The facts show that a ring around the moon means rain is probable. The number
of stars within the ring, however, has nothing to do with how long the rain will last.

Passage 18:
A LARGE PLANT
The banana plant is one of the largest plants in the world. It sometimes attains a height of
thirty feet and may be more than a foot in diameter. Because of its unusual size, it is sometimes
called a banana tree. The stem of this plant, however, consists of leaves extending one over
another. Because it contains no wood or bark, the banana plant is not really a tree.
Each banana plant produces only one bunch of bananas. The bunch is made up of a number
of clusters, called hands. When the bananas reach the right size, these hands may be cut off and
packed
for
shipping.
As a food, bananas are very valuable. They may be eaten in place of potatoes or bread. If eaten
before they are fully ripe, however, bananas are hard to digest. When ripe, the skin of the most
common type of banana is yellow with small spots of brown. Care should be taken to choose only
ripe bananas for eating.

Passage 19:
MEASURING HEAT
A meter is a measuring device. Just as the speedometer in automobile tells how fast the car is
going, a thermometer records how warm or how cold something is.
Thermometers measure heat in degrees. For example, for comfort indoors the temperature in
a room should be about 2 1C. A simple room thermometer can tell us how near to this the
temperature in a room is. Other kinds of thermometers are also usd. One is used to measure the
heat of an oven. It shows heat from 38C to 316C. Another may be used on an air-conditioner
The thermometers used to measure body heat record temperatures from 33C to 42C. Other
thermometers can be used to show us that water freezes at 0C. The thermometer used to tell
temperature outdoors often records from far below 18C to about 49C.

A GOOD BUY
Alaska, which became the forty-ninth state of the United States in 1959, was bought from
Russia in 1867. The price paid to the Russian government for this huge piece of land was
$7,200,000. Secretary of State Seward arranged the treaty and the purchase. Because people in the
United States at that time knew little about Alaska, many of them did not approve of purchasing it.
Some jokingly called Alaska Sewards Folly.
However, Alaska proved to be a wonderful buy. Over $450,000,000 in gold has been taken
from Alaska since it was bought. Alaska streams and rivers are rich in fish, and so many salmon
are caught each year in Alaska that it has developed the largest salmon canning industry in the
world. Alaskan hills have thousands of acres of valuable timber. In addition, the area has many

MIDSUMMER IN FINLAND
0
Midsummer, the celebration of the turning of the sun, has been being,
the
00 highlight of the northern summer for centuries - an event full of
symbolism,
1 customs, magic and superstitions. In Finland, Midsummer night is so short
2 as that evening dusk flows into morning dawn almost unnoticed. Even in
3 southern Finland, midnight is the best described as strong twilight .
4 Midsummer night was the most of all, the celeberation of greenery and
5 fruit. Nature is in a full bloom then and the day is never - ending. It was
6 customary throughout Finland to bring branches and greenery to indoors
on
7 Midsummer Eve. Houses were so thoroughly cleaned and decorated with
8 birch branches and flower garlands. This indoor forest was complete when
9 leaves on the scrubbed floor gave out a fresh forest aroma. Midsummer is
10 still the Finn most important one summer celebration. They gather
together
11 around the bonfire to make dance, play and be with family and friends
12 themselves. In some areas Midsummer poles decorated with flower
garlands and
13 leaves are erected for the festivities. Although some of the old
ceremonies are
14 now performed only for fun, Midsummer right as bathed in the strange
15 white light of the North, is still mysterious.

III. Reading
Louis Braille
Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. His father had a small business. He made shoes
and other things from leather. Suddenly the knife slipped and hit him in the eye. Louis soon
became completely blind.
When he was 10 years old, he entered the national Institute for the Blind in Paris. Once
day his class went to visit special exhibit by a captain in the army. One thing in the exhibit was
113

very interesting for Louis. It showed massage in code. Armies sent massage in secret codes so no
one else can read them. The captain wrote this code in raised letters on very thick paper.
Louis thought a lot about this code. Then he decided to write in the same way so blind people
could read with their fingers. It is very difficult to feel the difference between raised letters.
.Instead of letters, Louis used a "cell of six dots. He arranged the dots with two dots across and
three down.
There are 63possible arrangements of the dots in the Braille system. Each arrangement stand for
one letter, Punctuation mark, or number. He also used his system to write music. Louis Braille
invented this system when he was only fifteen years old.
Blind people can also write Braille. They used a special kind of pen to make the dots.
Today there are Braille books in all written languages in the world. However, these books are
large and expensive to make. They must be on a special paper. Someone who can see must learn
the Braille alphabet and make the raised dots in the paper by hand or with a special typewriter.
Now there is an easier way for the blind to read. Talking books are complete books or
magazines on cassette tapes or phonograph records. Blind people listen to the book. Blind people
can also write using a typewriter or a computer.
Louis Braille invented a way for blind people to communicate. He invented it before the
time of phonographs, tape recorders, typewriters, and computers. When he died in1852, he was
buried in the Pantheon in Paris. This is where the national heroes of France are buried, and Louis
Braille was a national hero.
