Question 2
Read the text on rabbit and transfer the information.

Rabbits have been pets since the 18th century. Rabbits are fairly popular pets in Malaysia because
they are relatively easy to take care for and of course, because they are so cute.
If you are planning to get a rabbit as a pet, here are some things to consider. Get a proper hutch and
avoid wire-bottom cages as these can cause foot problems. If you want to let your rabbit run free
around the house, you will need to rabbit-proof your house. To rabbit-proof your house, keep all
your wires, plants and anything else it is likely to chew inaccessible. Remember, a rabbits teeth
grow throughout its life so it will likely to chew many things.
A rabbit, like any other pet, needs exercise too. Allowing it to hop around the house about four
hours a day is recommended. Keep your rabbit happy by keeping it busy. A simple toy such as a
cardboard carton, plastic toys, even some old towels, will keep it happy.
You can also train your rabbit to use a litterbox. Find out which spot your rabbit usually uses as its
toilet and out a litterbox there. Line it with a newspaper and fill it with grass hay or pelleted
sawdust litter.
Feed your rabbit grass hay or dark green leafy daily. Rabbit pellets can be given but in small
quantities only. And always remember to give it fresh water. If your rabbit stops eating or going to
the toilet for 12 hours or more, take it to a vet immediately.
Your rabbit will give you many hours of joy so look after it well.

Question 4
Read the text below.

Tea Therapy

Tea was considered a superfood long before the word was coined. The ancient Chinese and
Japanese documented its health benefits and today modern health journals continue to lend credence
to these claims.

One of the worlds most popular beverages owes many of its benefits to powerful
antioxidants called flavonoids. These free-radical fighters sweep up unstable molecules that damage
cells, proteins and DNA. Some teas may help forestall premature ageing, while reducing the risk of
heart disease and cancer.

The most widely consumed tea in the world, the black tea also has the highest caffeine
content and is an excellent substitute. As it is typically fermented, dried and crushed, it is also
slightly bitter and works well in sweet and citrusy blends, studies have shown that it may also help
to lower cholesterol levels and the risk of stroke.

Green tea has a more subtle and crisp bouquet. To preserve its natural aroma, BOH practices
a 900-year-old traditional Japanese process which involves expertly steaming, rolling and drying
leaves. These high-quality green tea leaves have a more delicate flavour and lower caffeine content
than black tea. On the health front, this multi-tasker is also linked to better cardiovascular and brain
health, weight loss and even reduced belly fat.
