Task 1
Directions: Read the following passage and the statements that follow. Choose the best
answer for each statement from the three choices marked A, B and C.

Most young people enjoy physical activities, walking, cycling, football, or mountaineering.
These who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with
astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take a risk on
high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering
and other forms of activities to which men give their leisure.
There are no man-made rules, as there are for such as golf and football. There are, of
course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from
man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb
mountains are free to their own methods.
If we contrast mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one
big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team work”. However, it is only our
misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when
climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, obviously, there is
teamwork.

Task 2
Directions: After reading the passage you are required to complete the statements that
follow the questions within 3 words.
If you want to be a firefighter in your future, you have to know the ways of putting out a
fire.
You may have seen people put out burning cigarettes bystepping on them. Stepping on a
burning cigarette shuts off the air and puts out the fire.
Many fires are put out with water; water cools the material that is burning. It helps
smother a fire, too. Some of the water is changed into steam when it strikes the hot fire. The steam
shuts off air from the fire and helps put it out.
Some fires cannot be put out with water. They have to be smothered with sand or with
chemicals of some kind, such as those used in some fire extinguishers. Suppose a tank full of
gasoline is on fire. Gasoline is lighter than water. If you poured water into the tank of gasoline, the
water would sink to the bottom of the tank. The gasoline would float on top of the water and
would keep on burning. If you keep on putting water on the fire, the gasoline would flow over
the edge of the tank. Then the fire would spread.
1. What are the major materials for putting out fires as mentioned in the passage?
They are water,_______________________________.
2. Why can water put out a fire?

Water _________________on fire and the steam shuts off air.
3. What can’t be used to put out gasoline fires?
___________________________________.
4. What will happen if you put water into the tank of gasoline?
The water will sink___________________.
5. What is the best title of the passage?
How to ______________a Fire.
