The White House, the official home of the United States

president, was not constructed in time for George Washington
to live in it. It was begun in 1792 and was ready for its first
inhabitants, President and Mrs. John Adams, who moved in on
November 1, 1800. When the Adams family moved in, the
White House was not yet complete, and the Adams family
suffered many inconveniences; for example, the main staircase
was incomplete, which hindered movement from floor to floor,
and the future laundry yard was merely a pool of mud, so wet
laundry was hung in the unfinished East Room to dry. Thomas
Jefferson, the third president, improved the comfort of the White
House in many respects and added new architectural features,
such as the terraces on the east and west ends. When the
British forces burned the White House in 1814, President
Madison was forced to leave. All that remained after the fire
was the exterior walls; the interior was completely destroyed. It
was not until December of 1817 that the following president,
James Monroe, was able to move into a reconstructed
residence. Since then, the White House has continued to be
modified but has been continuously occupied by each
succeeding USA president.

Feng Shui, which literally translates from Chinese as "wind and
water", is a 4000-year-old system of analyzing and altering the
flow of energy in any environment to produce desired change.
The principle behind Feng Shui is that every physical object in
our surroundings has an influence on our lives. By simply
altering how energy, or "chi", flows around and through these
surroundings, we can promote happiness, prosperity and good
health, and feel more energetic, positive and passionate about
life. Because in its basic definition Feng Shui is the "Art of
Placement", Feng Shui practitioners believe that by arranging
your furnishings and decor in a way that aligns with nature, you
invite positive energy (chi) to aid you in drawing harmony and
good health into your life. According to Feng Shui practitioners,
the easiest way to begin, without hiring a trained Feng Shui
consultant or totally transforming your home or work place, is to
include some strategically placed Feng Shui enhancers in your
environment. Numerous objects have long been recognized as
having the ability to enhance the flow of energy and stimulate
positive changes within the mind. If you add a few of these
simple objects by following some basic Feng Shui placement
guidelines, your space will look more attractive and you will
reap the many benefits of a more favourable life.

Right now about one billion people suffer from chronic hunger.
The world's farmers grow enough food to feed them, but it is not
properly distributed and, even if it were, many cannot afford it,
because prices are considerably escalating. However, here
arises another challenge; by 2050, the world's population will
have increased by two billion or three billion, which will likely
double the demand for food, according to several studies.
Demand will also rise, because many more people will have
higher incomes, which means they will eat more, especially
meat. Increasing use of cropland for biofuel will put additional
demands on our farms. Therefore, even if we solve today's
problems of poverty and access, which is a daunting task, we
will also have to produce twice as much to guarantee adequate
supply worldwide. By clearing tropical forests, farming marginal
lands, and boosting industrial farming in sensitive landscapes,
humankind has made modern agriculture the planet's dominant
environmental threat. Agriculture already consumes a large
percentage of the earth's land surface and is destroying habitat,
using up freshwater, polluting rivers and oceans, and emitting
greenhouse gases more extensively than almost any other
human activity. To guarantee the globe's long-term health, we
must dramatically reduce agriculture's adverse impacts.

C) has become the primary danger to the environment, as it

D) can fulfill the challenging task of producing more biofuel and
clearing greenhouse gases from atmosphere in the future

Texting or checking social media or responding to email or
reading the news or checking the weather or watching a video
while walking is a popular phenomenon. It is so common that it
no longer causes the annoyance it once did. We have all been
captivated by the notification icons on our phones, so virtually
no one is paying attention to where they are going. Our mobile
devices are heavily integrated into our lives. It is one of the first
things we reach for in the morning, and when we get out, the
phone is often in our hands as we walk through the parking lot
to the store we visit. The distraction actually makes us a
vulnerable target or put us in front of a moving vehicle.
However, the text-walkers are less awkward than we might
think. Why don't they fall down or walk into other people?
Research suggests that these text-walkers adopt protective
measures to minimize the risk of accidents when walking. They
are less likely to trip, because they shorten their step length,
reduce step frequency, lengthen the time during which both feet
are in contact with the ground, and increase obstacle clearance
height. Taken together this creates an exaggerated image of
walking, but it apparently slows the walker enough so that he
can register some of what is happening around him and can
compensate for it.

Yasuni National Park in Ecuador is considered by many

scientists to be the single most biodiverse spot on the planet,
but one in danger of being lost. Oil companies have found rich
deposits beneath the parks trees and rivers worth billions of
dollars. Ecuador is a small country in which a third of the
population lives below the poverty line and petroleum already
makes up more than half of its export revenue. It badly needs
the money that oil companies will be happy to provide if further
drilling is allowed to go forward. If Ecuador follows the usual
path of development, this is exactly what will happen, with
disastrous consequences for the park. However, there may be
another way. Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa told the
international community that his country would be willing to
cease drilling and leave Yasuni intact in exchange for donations
equal to $3.6 billion over 13 years, or about half the expected
market value of the parks oil deposits. The Yasuni Plan, while
conserving the parks unique biodiversity, would be a first for
global environmental policy, recognizing that the international
community has a financial responsibility to help developing
nations preserve nature.

Jake: During exercise, most of us will sweat more than 1
litre per hour.

65.
Steve: The scale of global warming tells us that something
must be done as soon as possible.

Susan:
----

Betty: So, precautions seem mandatory.

Jake: You can suffer seizure and heart failure once youve
lost much of the water in your body.
Susan: I guess its a good idea to keep a bottle of water at
hand during exercise.

Student: Sir, what do we know about the very first ways that
humans measured the time?
64.
Tom: I'm planning to buy an expensive camera and take up
photography to produce high quality pictures of nature.

Professor: At the most basic level, there were sundials,

water clocks and hourglasses that appeared first.

Michael: That's really interesting, but just buying an

expensive camera is not the only answer to photography.

Student:
----

Tom: Why do you say so?

precisely rather than just thinking "The Sun's up, so let's go out
and work"?

E) You also need to be careful about choosing the right type of

memory card for your camera.

69. There has never been an adult scientist who has been
half as curious as any child between the ages of four
months and four years. ----. However, the truth is that
children begin to learn at birth, and by the time they begin
formal schooling at the age of 5 or 6, they have already

70. Some people associate migration mainly with birds.

Birds do travel vast distances, but mammals also migrate.
For example, the wild reindeer graze on the grassy slopes
of northern Canada. When the weather turns cold, these
animals travel south until spring. Their tracks are so well
worn that they are clearly visible from the air. Another
example is the Alaskan fur seal. These seals breed only in
the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea. ----. Together they
swim down the Pacific Coast of North America. The
females and young seals travel as far as southern
California. The males do not journey so far; they swim only
to the Gulf of Alaska.
A) Whales are among the greatest migrators of all; the blue
whales migrate each year from the polar seas to the tropics.
B) In winter, seals eat huge quantities of tiny plants and
animals.

the strategic locations along the Niagara River.

D) The young are born in June and by September are strong

enough to go with their mothers on a journey of more than
3,000 miles.

the United States is immune to natural disasters. ----. For
example, "Designing for Disaster" at the National Building
Museum in Washington, D.C. showcases how scientists,
engineers and government officials work together to guard
the country's infrastructures against disasters. On entering
the exhibit, visitors are immediately confronted with
tangible reminders of the destruction that natural disasters
can inflict.
A) Most of the disasterresistant structures rest on large blocks
that can slide independently of each other.
B) While no one can prevent these hazards, people can
adequately prepare for them.

smoking than those smoking cigarettes, which has been
demonstrated in new research by the Cambridge University.
B) As an illustration of the health risks associated with smoking,
Cambridge University researchers have proved that secondhand tobacco consumption is highly damaging to smokers.
