As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine Tiger bones are used as a pain reliever in traditional medicine Even tiger’s whiskers are sold because some people in Asia think they are a good-luck charm – like a rabbit’s foot in the United States “ Part of our job is education,” said Professor Dillon “ The other part is law enforcement So we have more than one strategy.”

Read the passage and choose the correct answers:

Scientists often divide resources into two groups: renewable and non– renewable When a resource is used, it takes some times to replace it If the resource can be replaced quickly and easily, it is called renewable If it cannot be replaced quickly and easily, it is renewable All fossil fuels are non-renewable resources Solar energy, air, and water are usually called non-renewable because there is an unlimited supply

However, this definition may change if people are not careful with these resources The amount of solar energy that reaches the earth depends on the atmosphere If the atmosphere is polluted, the solar energy that reaches the earth may be dangerous If humans continue to pollute the air, it will not contain the correct amounts of these gases

Many resources are limited and non- renewable, and many are in danger of pollution As a consequence, resources must be conserved and the environment protected Conservation must become an important part of everyone’s life

46 How many kinds of resources are mentioned in the passage?

47 Non-renewable resources are those which _ A are unlimited

B can be replaced quickly and easily C take millions of the years to replace

On July 20, 1969, that dream came true Two American men landed on the moon Their names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin

The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust The dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walked Those were the first marks a living thing had ever made on the moon And they could stay there for years and years There is no wind or rain to wipe them off

The two men walked on the moon for hours They picked up rocks to bring back to earth for study They dug up dirt to bring back They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft

Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon They joined Michael Collins in the spaceship that waited for them above the moon Then they were off on their long trip back to earth Behind them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon They left the machines they had set up And they left footprints that may last forever

The Origins of the Olympic Games can be traced back to ancient Greece, to as far back as 776 B.C It was a Greek tradition to hold athletic competitions every four years in honor of their gods or dead heroes The prizes awarded to the winners of each event in those days were a crown of olive and a palm branch Although this may seem meaningless in modern times, the true prize lay in the honor of having won the event The winners were given places of honor on public occasions In some town they were even exempted from paying taxes

The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896 Since then, nations from around the world have been meeting every four years to compete against one another New Olympic records are set every time they meet The only exception to this quadrennial event was in 1944, when the Olympic Games were not held because of the Second World War
