Maybe you recycle cans, glass, paper and metal Did you know that nature recycles, too? One of the things nature recycles is water Water goes from the ocean, lakes and rivers into the air Water falls from the air as rain or snow Rain and snow eventually find their way back to the ocean Nature’s recycling process for water is called the water cycle The water cycle has four stages: storage, evaporation, precipitation and run-off Water on Earth gets stored in oceans, lakes, rivers, ice and even underground Water goes from storage into the atmosphere by a process called evaporation When water
evaporates, it changes from a liquid into a gas, called water vapor Water vapor goes up into the atmosphere Water returns to Earth as precipitation in rain or snow by changing into drops of water when the air gets cold enough Clouds are collections of water droplets Most precipitation falls into the oceans and goes right back into storage
Water that falls on land always flows from higher places to lower ones - This flow is called run-off Water from land flows into streams Streams join together to make rivers and eventually the water flows into storage in the ocean, then the water cycle starts all over again

V-Reading Read the following passages and answer to the questions: KETCHUP
The sauce that is today called ketchup ( or catsup) in Western cultures is a tomato_based sauce that is quite distinct from Eastern ancestors of this product A sauce called ke-tjap was in used in China at least as early as the 17th century, but the Chinese version of the sauce was made of picked fish, shellfish, and spices The popularity of this Chinese sauce spread to Singapore and Malaysia, where it was called kechap The Indonesian ketjab derives its name from the same source of the Malysian sauce but is made from very different ingredients The Indonesian ketjab is made by cooking black soy beans, fermenting them, placing them in a salt brine for at least a week , cooking the resulting solution further, and sweetening it heavily; this process results in a dark, thick and sweet variation of soy sauce
Early in the 18th century, sailors from the Bristish navy came across this exotic sauce on voyages to Malaysia and Singapore and brought samples of it back to England on return voyages English chefs tried to recreate the sauce but were unable to exactly because key ingredients were unknown or unavailable in England; chefs ended up substituting ingredients such as mushrooms and walnuts in an attempt to recreate the special taste of the original Asian sauce Variations of this sauce became quite the rage in the 18th century England, appearing in a number of recipe books and features as an exotic addition to menus from the period
(14)tomalt; however, early botanists had recognized that tomato was a member of the Solanecaea family, wich does include a number of poisonous plant The leaves of the tomato plant are poisonous, though of course the fruit is not
Thomas Jefferson, who cultivated the tomato in his gardens at Monticello and served dishes containing tomatoes at lavish feasts, often receive credit for changing the reputation of the tomato Soon after Jefferso had introduced the tomato to American society, recipes combining the new fashinonabe tomato with the equally fashionable and exotic sauce known as ketchap began to appear By the middle of the 19th century, both of the tomato and tomato ketchup were stables of the American kitchen
Tomato ketchup,popular though it was,was quite time-consuming to prepare In 1876,the first mass-produced tomato ketchup, a product of German-American Henry Heizn,went on sale and achieved immediate success From tomato ketchup, Heizn branched out into a number of other products, including various sauces, pickles, and relishes
