How Planes Fly
A plane needs air pressure under their wings to stay up in the air. As they move forward, the
higher air pressure underneath their wings pushes them upward and gives them lift.
The smooth, streamline shape of the plane allows to flow easily over its surface. This help to
reduce the drag caused by the air pushing against the plane and allows it to move rapidly through the
air.
Planes move forward using engines. This movements is called thrust. Moving forward keeps
a stream of moving air passing over the wings, which allows the plane to stay up in the air. If the
engines fail, the plane will begin to descend very quickly.
The air above the wing moves faster so it is at a lower pressure than the air under the wing.
The air under the wing moves more slowly and is slightly squashed so it is at a higher
pressure than the air above the wing.

Text 2.
Della and Jim Young, newly married, were poor. Jims wage was enough to rent only a very
small apartment. But there were two things of which each was extremely proud: Della had the
longest and most beautiful hair in all New York, and Jim possessed a magnificent gold pocket watch,
given by his father.
Christmas was drawing near, and Jim and Della began to think what presents they could
afford to give each other. Della always noticed sadly, that when Jim looked at his watch (which he did
when ever he had an excuse to), it was fixed to the button-hole of his coat by a common old leather
strap. He really needed a gold chain. And Jim often thought , as he looked at Della doing her long
hair, how nice it would look if only he could buy her a jeweled comb to hold it in place. But a gold
watch-chain or a jeweled hair comb would have cost far more money than either of them possessed.
 Now it was Christmas Eve. With tearful eyes Della had counted for the tenth time. Just 87
cents. If only I knew she thought. Then suddenly she had a wonderful idea! Hurriedly putting
on her old hat and coat, she ran down the street to the shop with the notice Hair bought. She went
in-and an hour later walked out of the shop richer by 15 dollars, but without her hair ! On the way
home she stopped at every watch markers shop until at last she found exactly the right chain to
suit Jims watch. ..

IN THE CITY
Living in a city has both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, it is often easier to find
work, and there is usually a choice of public transport, so you don't need to own a car. Also, there are
a lot of interesting things to do and places to see, For example, you can eat in good restaurants, visit
museums and go to the theatre and to concerts. What is more, when you want to relax, you can
usually find a park where you can feed the ducks or just sit on a park bench and read a book. All in all,
city life is full of' bustle and variety and you need never feel bored.

However, for every plus there is a minus. For one thing, you might have a job, but unless it is very
well-paid, you will not be able to afford many of the things that there are to do, because living in a city
is often very expensive. It is particularly difficult to find good, cheap accommodation. What is more,
public transport is sometimes crowded and dirty, particularly in the rush hour, and even in the parks
can become very crowded, especially on Sundays when it seems that every city - dweller is looking
for some open space and green grass. Last of all, despite all the crowds, it is still possible to feel very
lonely in a city.

In conclusion, I think that city life can be particularly appealing to young people, who like the
excitement of the city and don't mind the noise and pollution. However, many people, when they get
older, and particularly When they have young children, often prefer the peace and fresh air of the
countryside.

12. Which statement is true according to the text ?

a. Public transport is very crowded on Sundays
b. Despite all the crowd, rich people feel very lonely in a city
c. Finding good, cheap accommodation is not easy in a city
d. Older people who like the excitement of the city prefer living in a city
e. Young people who have young children dont mind the noise and
pollution

13. Why wont you be able to afford many of the things in a city ?
a. since living in a city is often very dear
b. Because you dont have a good job.
c. Since you might have a very well paid job
d. Because city life is full of bustle and variety.
e. Because it is particularly difficult to find good, cheap accommodation.

14. It is particularly difficult to find good, cheap accommodation.

Accommodation has about the same meaning as .
a. a city park
b. food and drink
c. a well paid job
d. interesting places
e. rooms for living in

Nearly all energy is derived from the sun, either indirectly, in the form of heat rays and light
rays.
Electrical energy is derived from the sun indirectly. It can be derived from the power of water
falling down a mountainside. The water falls as rain, which is is formed by the evaporation of the
water on earths surface, by means of the suns heat. This water vapour rises, condenses on cooling,
and falls as rain.
The light and heat energy from coal is also derived indirectly from the sun. coal was formed by
the pressure of the rocks on vegetation which died millions of years ago. That vegetation grew with
the aid of sunlight, from which carbohydrates were formed, thus converting solar energy into chemical
 energy. When coal is burnt some of this energy is released. thus the sun can be said to the source of
nearly all energy, and in the absence of the suns heat and light, no life coult exist on earth.
