green berries are not ready to eat yet. They need a lot of sun and rain to help them become
fat and sweet. When the berries turn blue, they are ripe and ready to be picked. Some
farmers grow blueberries in big fields. The people who live nearby can earn money by
helping to pick the blueberries. Each one takes a pail out to the field and fills it with
blueberries. They work fast so that they can fill many pails. They want to earn as much
money as they can. When they are done picking, their fingers are blue from the juice of the
berries! After the blueberries are picked, they are put into boxes and sent to stores. People

743. Outer Space
From far out in space, Earth looks like a blue ball. Since water covers three-fourths of
the Earth’s surface, blue is the color we see most. The continents look brown, like small
islands floating in the huge, blue sea. White clouds wrap around the Earth like a light
blanket. The Earth is shaped like a sphere, or a ball. It is 25,000 miles around! It would take
more than a year to walk around the whole planet. A spaceship can fly around the widest
part of the sphere in only 90 minutes. Even though spaceships have traveled to the Moon,
people cannot visit the Moon without special suits. The Moon has no air or water. Plants
and animals can’t live there either. Astronauts first landed on the Moon in 1969. After that,
there were six more trips to the Moon. They brought back Moon rocks, which scientists are

50
still studying. There are holes, or craters, all over the Moon’s surface. Scientists believe
that meteorites smashed into the Moon millions of years ago and formed the craters. The
Sun is the closest star to Earth. A star is a hot ball of burning gas. The Sun looks very big
because it is so close. But the Sun is just a medium-sized star. Billions of far-away stars
are much bigger than our Sun. The burning gases from the Sun are so hot that they warm
the Earth from 93 million miles away! Even though the Sun is always glowing, the night
here on Earth is dark. That’s because the Earth rotates, or turns around, every 24 hours.
During the day, the Earth faces the Sun. Then we see light. During the night, the Earth
turns away from the Sun. Then it faces the darkness of space.

744. Aunt Casey
‘Hey, Addo‚ look what I found‚’ she said‚ pulling a key from one of her many pockets. I
didn’t ask her where she ‘found’ it. It was better that I didn’t know. ‘Do you want to take out
a rowing boat?’ she asked. But a question from Aunt Casey was not a question: it was a
suggestion that was always going to be enacted. She knew it‚ and so did I. It was her
enthusiasm that made her impossible to resist; it infected all those around her‚ especially
me. ‘I know we are only supposed to be strolling along the river …’She had unlocked the
shed and single-handedly pulled a boat down to the sandy bank before she had finished
her sentence ‘… but I thought it was high time my favourite nephew and I had a bit of fun!’
‘Are you sure? After last time ?” But my attempt to put the brakes on this was purely token.
I was already in the boat when I questioned her. There was nothing better than hanging out
with Aunt Casey‚ even if it always meant me putting my life in danger‚ perhaps because it
meant me putting my life in danger. ‘Shouldn’t we have life-jackets?’ But she had pushed

51
us off. Jumping into the boat‚ the bottom of her trousers sopping wet‚ she dismissed my
arguments with a wave of her hand. She stood at the back of the boat‚ feet apart‚ rocking
from side to side. She wasn’t trying to scare me; she was trying to scare herself. My
emotions were secondary. ‘Let’s head for the other bank‚’ she said throwing her arm in the
direction of an old twisted tree‚ her momentum almost tipping us out of the boat. ‘Be a
darling and row for me. A strong‚ young lad like you should be able to row there in no time.
’It was at this point that I realised there were no oars in the boat. And when I pointed this
out to Aunt Casey‚ all she could do was laugh.
1. Which word best describes Aunt Casey’s attitude to life?
A. reckless B. intolerant C. thoughtful D. responsible
2. Why didn’t Addo ask Aunt Casey where she found the key?
A. He expected she might take too long to explain.
B. He knew if he asked he would sound ungrateful.
C. He realised she had done something mischievous.
D. He thought she would not answer him truthfully.
3. What is Addo most likely thinking at the end of the text?

B. This has turned into the best day ever.
C. I can’t wait to tell my parents about this.
D. I knew something like this would happen.

746. 15. Amazing black holes
How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see
the Moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars. You can see even more with a
telescope. You might see stars where before you only saw dark space. You might see that
many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars that look white are really
red or blue. With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the
sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail. But scientists believe there
are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won't see them with the biggest
telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year. That's because they're invisible.
They're the mysterious dead stars called black holes. You might find it hard to imagine that
stars die. After all, our Sun is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly,
giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn't seem to be getting old or weak. But stars
do burn out and die after billions of years. As a star's gases burn, they give off light and
heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die. As the star cools,
the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and
smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black
dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until it's packed together tighter
than anything in the universe. Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a
tiny marble. That's how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in
toward its center with such power? It's the same force that pulls you down when you jump
— the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in
everything — even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes.
That's why you see nothing but blackness. So the next time you stare up at the night sky,
remember: there's more in the sky than meets the eye! Scattered in the silent darkness are
black holes — the great mystery of space.
1. According to the article, what causes a star to die?
A. As its gases run out, it cools down. B. It collides with other stars.
C.It can only live for about a million years. D.As it gets hotter and hotter, it explodes.
2. Read this sentence from the story.
The Sun certainly doesn't seem to be getting old or weak.
What is an antonym for the word weak?

760. All things are linked
Once in a certain village there was a chief who had many slaves. When he wanted something
done, he just ordered his slaves to do it. If he wanted a good and wise thing done, his advisors said
to him, “Yes that is good.” If he wanted something done which was not wise, these advisors said just
the same, “That is good.” But the chief’s lowest advisor never said yes or no. When the chief asked
him about something, he always thought for a while, and then replied, “All things are
linked.” For example, the chief once asked him when the long dry season would end, and he simply
replied, “All things are linked.” Another time the chief asked why the corn crop was so small and
again he replied “All things are linked”. One time it happened that the chief could not sleep because
of the loud croaking of the frogs at night in the marshes. For many nights he could not sleep, and he
finally decided to kill all the frogs. He told his advisors about his plan. As usual, they praised him and
said, “Yes, that is good.” But the lowest advisor did not speak. The next day the chief sent his slaves
to kill the frogs in the marsh. The slaves killed frogs until no frogs remained. The chief slept well that
night. He was very pleased with his life. But soon the mosquitoes began to multiply in the marsh
because there were no frogs left to eat the young mosquitoes. They entered the house of the chief
and bit him. The chief’s life became miserable. All the villagers suffered. So the chief sent his slaves
to kill the mosquitoes. The slaves tried, but there were too many mosquitoes. Life in the village
became impossible because of the many mosquitoes. People went away and left their fields and
houses. The old village was empty except for the chief’s family. Finally, the chief and his family also
went away. And now there is a saying in that country: “Yes , that is good’ caused a whole village to
become empty.”

763. Packaging the environment
In the last 50 years there has been a revolution in the nature of packaging, particularly the
wrapping of foodstuffs, which constitutes over 60 % of packaging. There are many reasons for this
growth-some economic, some sociological. Goods are transported across the world, which means
more packaging for transportation. People go shopping less often because of considerable increases
in car and fridge ownership, which means that food can be bought in bulk. Seventy % of homes have
freezers and 40% have microwaves, which has led to an increase in frozen foods and ready prepared
meals. Both of these have introduced specialized packaging. Clearly some packaging is necessary.
It protects food and should provide useful product information so we can make right choice. It can
also prolong the life of a product. However, there are other reasons for packaging that are more for
company profit than the interests of the customer.
Select the correct word which is the same with the words in bold as used in the text.
1. Wrapping
A. Keep B. Make C. Take D. Fold

A. in a short time B. safely C. quickly D. in large quantities

764.The Future: What will it be like?
Nobody knows how the world will look in the future. Some say that the progress in science and
technology will make life more comfortable. Machines will do the hard work for people. There will be
special robots for everybody. People will program them according to their needs. Mothers will use
them in the kitchen for washing dishes and clothes. Fathers will use them in the garage and the
garden. Children will play different games with them. This way people will have more free time. They
will have enough time to do many social, cultural and sporting activities. Or some will stay home and
watch television. Others say that the earth will be very crowded with about seven thousand million
people. There will be big metropolises. Scientists are certain that problems like population growth
and urbanization will continue to annoy people. As a solution, maybe one day, people from our planet
will have to live in space. People are very interested in the future because they are sure that it will
be very different from the past. For thousands of years the lives of human beings did not change
much. The ties among family members were so strong that the son did the same job as the father.
It was a family tradition. Now there are jobs which did not exist in the past. Computer and nuclear
engineering are only two among many new professions. Today people are fed up with the problems
of energy and pollution. They do not want to face the same problems in the future. At the moment
we use mainly coal fuel and electric energy to heat our houses, to transport people, and to produce
food. But we also know that their supply is very limited. And their waste products are poisoning our
atmosphere, rivers and oceans. So scientist should work out new projects related to the use of
available energy.

765. April Fool’s day
April 1st, or April Fool’s Day, is the day when people play jokes with each other. April Fool’s Day
started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Year’s Day was celebrated on April
1st. Then a new calendar was introduced called the Gregorian calendar. January 1st became the
first day of the year, but many people did not know about it. So those who continued to celebrate
New Year’s Day on April 1st were called fools. Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For
example, someone might put salt in the sugar container so another person could “accidentally” put
it in their coffee. Or someone might change the time on another person’s alarm clock so that person
would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make
someone else shocked. After we play the trick, we say “April Fool”. It is generally done in the spirit
of fun and doesn’t cause any real harm to anyone. Do you have any great jokes to play on anyone
today? April fool’s day is celebrated many countries around the world. Try it out.

766. The population of an area is the total number of people who live there. For many years, the
world population has been growing rapidly. In 1981, the world population was about, 4,490,000,000
(four billion, four hundred and ninety million). The number of people have grown by about 79 million
since 1980. This was an increase of 1,8 percent. In the thirty seconds that you might have used to

evenly. No one lives in most of Antarctica or in parts of some deserts. In other parts of the world,
there are as many as four hundred persons per square kilometer. The average number of persons
living within an area is the population density. The greatest population density is in Europe and Asia.
