SCOTLAND
A lot of people think that Scotland is
a part of England but this is untrue. Scotland is, in fact, a part of Great
Britain. It is governed from London but in many ways it is a separate nation.
It has its own capital city, Edinburgh, its own laws and its own stamps. It
even has its own language, Gaelic, spoken now by only a few people on the
islands.
There are only about five million
Scots, and most of them live in the southern half of country called ‘Lowlands’,
where the major cities are situated.
But most holiday visitors to Scotland
go to the Highlands because of the high mountains and deep valleys, clean
rivers and cold ‘lochs’. The Highlands are home to many rare birds and animals,
like the golden eagle and the wildcat, which are found nowhere else in Britain.
It is a lonely, wild and empty land. Only two per cent of the British population
live there and the population is getting smaller all the time. There is very
little work so most of the young people who are born there have to move south
to find a job. Perhaps the Highlands of Scotland will become the last great
wilderness of Europe.
19. The text tells us about … .
a. Scotland as a nation
b. Highlanders in Scotland
c. Rare animals in Scotland
d. The population in Scotland
20. Why is the Highland going to be the
last of the great wilderness of Europe?
a. It’s a favorite place in Scotland.
b. It’s home to rare birds and animals.
c. It’s a lonely, wild, and empty land.
d. It ‘s high mountain and deep valley.
21. “… and deep valleys, clean rivers and
cold lochs.” What
does the underlined word mean?
a. Lake
b. River
c. Valley
d. Island
22. “…the young people who are born there
have to move south to find a job.” The word underlined refers to … .

THE SMARTEST PARROT
One day, after he had been trying so many times to make the bird say Catano, the man really got very angry. He could not bear it. He picked the parrot and threw it into the chicken house. There were four old chickens for next dinner “You are as stupid as the chickens. Just stay with them” Said the man angrily. Then he continued to humble; “You know, I will cut the chicken for my meal. Next it will be your turn, I will eat you too, stupid parrot”. After that he left the chicken house.

First of all, melt the wax. All wax has a flash point, so to prevent it bursting into flames; you must melt it in a double boiler, with water in the bottom of the pan.
Then, prepare the mould with the wick. Thread the wick through the mould and make sure that you leave a good few centimeters sticking out of the hole in the bottom.
After that, add the scent. If you want a scented candle, add a few drops of essential oil to the melted wax. You can use any essential oil you like, as long as it doesn't contain water.
Next step, pour the wax into the mould. Try and tip the wax into the mould quickly, all in one go, to minimize spillage and air bubbles.
Then, release the bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air bubbles will eventually make the candle sink, so you will need to top it up with more melted wax.
Finally, remove it from the mould. After four or five hours, the candle can be taken out of its mould.

THE SMARTEST PARROT
Once upon time, a man had a wonderful
parrot. There was no other parrot like it. The parrot could say every word,
except one word. The parrot would not say the name of the place where it was
born. The name of the place was Catano.

The next day, the man came back to the
chicken house. He opened the door and was very surprised. He could not believe

A cactus (plural: cacti)
is any member of the plant family Cactaceae,
native to the Americas. They are often used as ornamental plants, but some are also crop plants. Cacti are grown for protection of property from wild
animals, as well as many other uses.
Cacti are part of the plant
order Caryophyllales, which also include members like beets, gypsophila, spinach, amaranth, tumbleweeds, carnations, rhubarb, buckwheat,
plumbago, bougainvillea, chickweed and knotgrass.
Cacti are unusual and distinctive plants, which are adapted to extremely arid and hot environments, showing a wide range of anatomical and physiological features which conserve water. Their stems have adapted to become
photosynthetic and succulent, while the leaves have become the spines for which cacti are well
known.
Cacti come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. The tallest is Pachycereus pringlei, with a maximum recorded height of 19.2 m, and the smallest is Blossfeldia
liliputiana, only about 1 cm in diameter at
maturity. Cactus flowers are large, and like the spines and branches arise from areoles. Many cactus species are night blooming, as they are pollinated by nocturnal insects or small animals, principally moths and bats. Cacti range in size from small and globular to tall and

MAKING CANDLES
Making coloured and scented candles is
really quick and simple. What's more, you'll save so much money. If making candle
is easy, why do you ever buy one from a shop? What you need in making
candle are wax, moulds, wick, dye discs, essential oils, and a double boiler. All these materials are
available from craft shops. Or if you do not want to buy them, you can
improvise with an old saucepan, Pyrex jug, or even a sturdy can, in a pot of
water. After providing the materials, follow this procedure
or instruction
in making candles!
First of all, melt the wax. All wax has a flash point, so to prevent it bursting into flames; you must melt it in a double boiler, with water in the bottom of the pan.
Then, prepare the mould with the wick. Thread the wick through the mould and make sure that you leave a good few centimeters sticking out of the hole in the bottom.
After that, add the scent. If you want a scented candle, add a few drops of essential oil to the melted wax. You can use any essential oil you like, as long as it doesn't contain water.
Next step, pour the wax into the mould. Try and tip the wax into the mould quickly, all in one go, to minimize spillage and air bubbles.
Then, release the bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air bubbles will eventually make the candle sink, so you will need to top it up with more melted wax.
Finally, remove it from the mould. After four or five hours, the candle can be taken out of its mould.
Your candle is now ready for display.
Remember, you must always leave it for a day before lighting it.
