Passage 1.
It is a characteristic of human nature that people
like to get together and have fun, and people live during America's frontier
days were no exception. However, because life was hard and the necessities of
day-to-day living took up their time, it was common for recreation to be
combined with activities necessary for survival. One example of such a form of
recreation was logrolling. Many frontier areas were heavily wooded, and in
order to settle an area it was necessary to move the trees. A settler could cut
down the trees alone, but help was needed to move the cut trees. After a
settler had cut a bunch of trees, he would then invite is neighbours over for a
logrolling.
A logrolling is a community event where families got
together for a combination of work and fun. The women would bring food and have
a much needed and infrequent opportunity to relax and chat with friends, the
children would play together exuberantly, and the men would hold lively
competitions that involved rolling logs from place to place as quickly as
possible. This was a day of fun for everyone involved, but as its foundation
was the need to clear the land.

On February 3, 1956, Autherine Lucy became the first
African-American student to attend the University of Alabama, although the dean
of women refused to allow Autherine to live in a university dormitory. White
students rioted in protest of her admission, and the federal government had to
assume command of the Alabama National guard in order to protect her.
Nevertheless, on her first day in class, Autherine bravely took a seat in the
front row. She remembered being surprised that the professor of the class appeared
not to notice she was even in class. Later, she would appreciate his seeming
indifference, as he was one of only few professors to speak out in favour of
her right to attend the university. For protection, Autherine was taken in and
out of classroom buildings by the back door and driven from class to class by
an assistant to the university president. The students continued to riot, and
one day, the windshield of the car she was in was broken. University officials
suspended her, saying it was for her own safety. When her attorney issued a
statement in her name protesting her suspension, the university used it as
grounds for expelling her for insubordination. Although she never finished her

Passage 3.
Saving energy means saving money. Home owners and
renters know this basic fact, but they often don't know what kinds of
adjustments they can make in their homes and apartments that will result in
savings.
For those willing to spend some time and money to
reap long-term energy savings, an energy audit is the way to go. An energy
auditor will come into your home and assess its energy efficiency. The auditor
will pinpoint areas of your home that use the most energy and offer solutions
to lower your energy use and costs. Trained energy auditors know what to look
for and can locate a variety of flaws that may be resulting in energy
inefficiency, including inadequate insulation, construction flaws, and uneven
heat distribution.
There are quicker and less costly measures that can
be taken as well. One way to save money is to replace incandescent lights with
fluorescents. This can result in a savings of more than 50% on your monthly
lighting costs.
When it's time to replace old appliances, it's wise
to spend a bit more for an energy- efficient model, and be sure that you are
taking advantage of energy-saving settings already on your current
refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer.
Windows provide another opportunity to cut your
energy costs. Caulk old Windows that might be leaky to prevent drafts, and
choose double-paned windows if you're building an addition or replacing old
windows.
Most areas of your home or apartment offer
opportunities to save energy and money. The results are significant and are
well worth the effort.

Man is a land animal, but he also closely tied to the
sea. Throughout history, the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has
provided man with food an convenient way to travel to many parts of the world.
Today, nearly two thirds of the world's population live within 80 kilometres of
the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers
many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be
used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many man's needs. The
list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is
impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years.
Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor are ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce
large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill
practised in the past mainly by Oriental people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of
energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a
way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer
possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more
deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this
possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts
believe that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent us from exploiting
fully the food, minerals, and energy source of the sea will be largely solved.

Passage 5.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized
agency of the United Nations that acts as a coordinating authority on
international public health. Established on 7 April, 1948, and headquartered in
Geneva, Switzerland, the agency inherited the mandate and resources of its predecessor, the Health Organization.
The WHO's constitution, states that its objective is
"the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of
health." Its major task is to combat diseases, especially key infectious
diseases, and to promote the general health of the
people of the world. The WHO also sponsors programs to prevent and treat
serious epidemics such as SARS, malaria, and AIDS. The WHO supports the
development and distribution of safe and effective vaccines, pharmaceutical
diagnostics, and drugs. After over 2 decades of fighting smallpox, the WHO
declared in 1980 that the disease had been eradicated - the first disease in
history to be eliminated by human effort.
The WHO is nearing success in developing vaccines
against malaria and aims to eradicate polio within the next few years. The
organization has already endorsed the world's first official HIV/AIDS Tool kit
for Zimbabwe making it an international standard. In addition to its work in
eradicating disease, the WHO also carries out various health-related campaigns,
for example, to boost the consumption of fruits and vegetables worldwide and to
discourage tobacco use.
Experts met at the WHO headquarters in Geneva in
February, 2007, and reported that their work on pandemic influenza vaccine
development had achieved encouraging progress. More than 40 clinic trials have
been completed or are ongoing. Most have focused on healthy adults. Some
companies, after completing safety analyses in adults, have initiated clinical
trials in the elderly and in children. All vaccines so far appear to be safe
arid well-tolerated in all age groups tested.

Passage 6.
Nowadays we know a lot about the link between carbon
dioxide (C02) emissions and global
warming. However, we seem to be unaware of one very dangerous pollutant, soot,
also called black carbon.
Soot comes from the incomplete combustion of coal,
oil, wood and other fuels. In other words, diesel engines, vehicle exhaust
pipes, farming machines, construction equipment, or simply fires in grills,
fireplaces, and stoves are potential sources of soot. It appears in our daily
life and can easily affect everyone of us.
Soot like all black things absorbs sunlight and
heats up the atmosphere. According to recent research, it is the second most
damaging greenhouse gas after CO2,
and twice as
harmful to the climate. Although black carbon remains
in the atmosphere for no more than seven days, it is particularly damaging to
frozen areas. Soot emissions might be responsible for the quick melting of the
Arctic. Controlling black carbon can help to slow down global warming.
Soot does not only have an impact on global warming
and climate change, but is also unhealthy. A soot particle is very tiny -
smaller than dust and mould, and about 1/30 the width of a human hair. It can
easily go into our bloodstream and lungs via the nose and throat. As a
result, breathing in the tiny particles can cause asthma attacks, heart
disease, bronchitis and many other respiratory illnesses.
