Read the passage carefully, then decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F). The Earth has mountains on every continent. Most mountains are parts of groups. A mountain group is “a mountain range” There are many high mountains, but the highest mountains are the Himalayas in Asia. Next are the Andes in South America. In North America, the high mountains are the Rockies and the Sierras Africa has the Atlas Mountains in the North Europe has the Alps. Australia has some mountains too, but they are small. The South Pacific has mountains too, but these mountains are islands. The ocean in the South Pacific is very deep. Only the tops of the mountains are above water.

Read the passage, and then do the exercises below Busy roads Drivers in the UK are very angry at the moment! This is because they are soon going to have to pay more to use the roads In the UK, as in many countries, there are more cars on the roads every day and this is causing problems. People want to live in the country and travel to work in the towns and cities but the result is busier roads and more traffic jams. One way to help the problem is for drivers to pay for the different roads they drive on. For example, a driver on a motorway will pay more than a driver on a country lane. But drivers are not happy. One driver, Harry Smith, says, ‘We have to use these roads to get to work. The trains and buses aren’t very good so we don’t have a choice. We have to drive. We already pay a lot for petrol. The government just wants more!’ Busy roads are definitely a problem but drivers certainly don’t think that this idea is the answer A. True (T) or False (F): Cars are going to be more expensive. _ More people are using country roads. _ A lot of people travel a long way to work. _ Drivers think paying to use roads is a good idea. _ B. Answer the questions: Where are there more cars on the roads every day? Who will pay more, a driver on a country lane or a driver on a motorway? C. About you Are you lonesome? Why / Why not?
