Diving for White Gold
Ted Becks is happy when golfers have a bad game. Every year, golfers in the USA lose more
than 2.5 billion golf balls. Many of these balls fall into ponds and lakes on golf courses.
This is good news for Ted 1. .
On weekdays, Ted arrives at the golf course at about 10 a.m. Many golfers play early in the
morning before they go to work, so he waits for them to leave. First, he puts on his diving suit
and oxygen tank. Then he jumps into a pond and dives to the bottom. Ted moves around
slowly on his hands and knees 2. .
The job is not easy. The water is very dirty, 3.
,and he usually cannot see anything.
He finds the balls by carefully touching the ground with his hands. There can also be
dangerous animals in some golf-course ponds in the USA. For example, there may be
poisonous snakes and crocodiles. Ted must stay calm and be very brave to do this job.
However, he knows how to work safely and does not let fear stop him.
Ted usually works for five hours a day. During this time, he can collect about 2,500 balls.
The company pays him ten cents for each ball, 4.
. Golf balls are not the only things Ted
finds. Sometimes he discovers computers, washing machines, and even cars in the ponds!
Diving in a dirty golf-course pond is very different 5.
. However, it is still a way for divers to
earn money. Besides, the work is interesting and can bring some surprising facts.
So, the next time your golf ball falls into a pond, do not be too angry. A diver like Ted may find
it later.
6. Ted starts his working day early, before the golfers arrive.
TRUE
FALSE
7. Ted finds the balls with his hands because he can’t see anything in the dark water.
TRUE
FALSE
8. Some ponds on golf courses have dangerous animals.
TRUE
FALSE
9. Ted gets 10 dollars for every ball he collects.
TRUE
FALSE
10. Only golf balls can be found at the bottom of the ponds.

Life in the Savannah
There are many different types of animals that live in the vast and open savannah. The
species found in savannahs vary greatly by the geographic location of the biome.
Animals that are native to African savannahs include African elephants, zebras, horses, and
tall giraffes. Many animals in the savannah are herbivores, which means they eat plants, and
there is plenty of grass in the savannah for them to feed on. During the rainy months, animals
thrive in the savannah because there is abundant food and water everywhere, but the rainy
season is only half the year.
During the dry season, surface water from the rain is quickly absorbed into the ground by
thirsty soils. The competition for water during the dry season is so intense that most birds and
many of the large mammals migrate elsewhere in search of water. Depending on the severity
of the drought, the migration may be to a place nearby, or far away across the landscape.
The dry season is often associated with dangerous fires that sweep across the grasslands.
Many insects with short life spans die in these fires, but the birds and larger animals are
usually able to fly or run to safety.
Although small burrowing animals probably can’t outrun the flames, they often survive the
fire by burying themselves deep into the ground and remaining there until the flames are
gone.
Some birds, such as the Fork-tailed drongos, don’t flee the fires; they actually fly toward the
fires. For these clever birds, fire means dinner. They eat the fleeing or flame-roasted insects
that escape from the burning grass.
1. What determines which animals live in the savannah?
How long the rainy season lasts.
The number of plants growing there.
Where in the world the savannah is.
2. What do we Learn about herbivores in the savannah?
They have enough food because grass grows there.
They are the only animals native to Africa.
They eat both plants and small insects.
3. Why is the rainy season a good time for savannah animals?
All birds return from migration.
food and water are easy to find.
There are no fires during the rain.
4. How long does the rainy season last?
Only a Few weeks
Most of the year
About six months
5. What happens to rainwater when the dry season begins?
It goes into the dry ground very fast.
It stays in small lakes on the surface.
Animals drink all of it in a few days.
6. Why do many birds and large animals leave the savannah?
The grass becomes too dry to eat.
It is too difficult to find water.
They are afraid of the fires.
7. What factor decides how far the animals migrate?
The direction of the fires.
How serious the drought is.
The size of the animal group.
8. Which animals usually die in the savannah fires?
Birds that cannot fly fast enough.
Small animals that live underground.
Insects that do not live very long.
9. How do burrowing animals stay safe from fire?
They hide under the ground until the fire ends.
They run away faster than the flames.
They jump into rivers and lakes.
10. Why do Fork-tailed drongos fly towards a fire?
They want to protect their nests from the flames.
They like the warm air above the burning grass.
They can catch insects that are running from the fire.

A life of Studying Fish
I am Edie and I am a fish expert and a scientist. I travel to other parts of the world for work.
More importantly, I always collaborate with people who live there.
They provide us with a lot of local knowledge and information. In return, we share
knowledge of how we carry out scientific fieldwork. Fishing is a common language; everyone
is an expert. Everywhere I go, I meet people who are natural ichthyologists. They know
everything about the fish in their environment. Every village knows who these people are.
After I’m there for a day or two, they hear about me, and show up. People have phenomenal
knowledge.
Nothing compares to waking up in a tent, in the middle of nowhere, three days from the
nearest town, surrounded by nature. I walk through rice paddies and beaches. I get really
muddy, and I’m always wet. I catch a lot of fish to study. Back in my car I need to come up with
ways to keep my specimens alive. I don’t want them to die because I want to be able to
observe their behaviour back in the lab. I enjoy all the challenges, solving all the problems.
Before I go somewhere new, I do my homework. I read up on all the fish that have been
recorded there. I look closely at pictures of them, so that when I get there, I know what to
look for. As time goes by, I get more experienced in identifying fish. When I see something
completely different, I can feel confident that it might be something that hasn’t been
described yet by any other scientist.
1. What does Edie think is the most important aspect of her trips?
Collecting as many fish as possible
Travelling to faraway countries
Working together with local people
2. What do local people get from Edie?
Knowledge about scientific work
Money for their information
New fishing equipment
3. Why does Edie call fishing “a common language”?
Because she teaches English in every village she visits.
Because all fishermen speak the same language.
Because everyone she meets knows a lot about fish.
4. How do local fish experts find out about Edie?
She visits their houses one by one.
She sends them letters before she arrives.
News of her visit spreads after she arrives.
5. What does Edie say about sleeping in a tent far from towns?
She does it only when there are no hotels.
It is the best experience for her.
It is the most difficult part of the job.
6. Why does Edie want to keep the fish alive?
She wants to sell them to other scientists.
She wants to return them to the river later.
She wants to watch how they behave in the lab.
7. How does Edie feel about the problems she faces during fieldwork?
She asks local people to solve them.
She likes dealing with them.
She tries to avoid them.
2. rr Ween
8. What does Edie mean by ‘I do my homework’?
She prepares information before a trip.
She writes reports after every trip.
She studies at the university in the evenings.
9. Why does Edie look at pictures of fish before travelling?
To put them in her scientific articles
To show them to local fishermen
To recognize the fish when she arrives
10. When might Edie feel sure she has found a potentially new species?
When it looks different from fish she knows thanks to her experience.
When local people say they have never seen it.
When she cannot find it in any pictures on the Internet.

Lifeboat Volunteers
When storms hit the coast boats can get into trouble and swimmers are sometimes pulled out
to sea by strong currents. When this happens, lifeboat volunteers rush to help. They are
ordinary people 1. .
One volunteer is Tim Becker, a baker from a small coastal town. During the week he bakes
bread for the local shop. At weekends, or whenever his pager beeps, 2.
ve
When the station receives a call, the volunteers gather fast. First, they check the weather and
the size of the waves. Then they put on waterproof suits 3.
.Sometimes they sail for hours through
rain, wind or thick fog. At night they use powerful lights to search the dark water for those
who need help. The team also helps swimmers who feel tired or frightened. If a person cannot
swim to safety, the volunteers pull them into the boat 4.
. In serious situations a helicopter may
arrive and take an injured person to hospital.
Lifeboat work can be tiring and frightening. Volunteers must stay calm and make quick
decisions. They need to work well as a team 5.
.for this reason they train often and
learn to use the equipment safely.
Tim does not receive money for this work. He gives his free time because he wants to help
others. The best moment is when the team finds someone and brings them safely home. Tim
says the rescued person often shakes his hand and says thank you. These simple words make
every hard hour worthwhile. Lifeboat volunteers do not wear superhero capes and their job is
not always exciting. Much of it involves training and waiting for a call. Still, when someone is
in danger at sea, they are ready to forget about their own problems and help.

Controlling the Mother Nature
We humans have come a long way in gaining our independence from the whims of Mother
Nature. We’ve learned how to build strong shelters and clothe ourselves against the
elements. Through advanced agriculture and irrigation, we can control our own food supply.
We’ve built schools, hospitals, computers, automobiles, airplanes and even space shuttles.
We have created a modern world where we feel safe and comfortable. So, what’s the big deal
if a bunch of plants, animals and simple organisms die out? It might seem like we don’t need
nature anymore.
Here’s the problem with the loss of biodiversity: the Earth functions like an incredibly
complex machine, and there don’t appear to be any unnecessary parts. Think of it like a giant
clock; if you remove a tiny gear, the whole thing stops working. Each species, from the
lowliest microbe to humans, plays a vital part in keeping the planet running smoothly. In this
sense, each part is deeply related to the others. If a lot of those parts suddenly vanish, then
the machine that is Earth can’t function properly.
For example, the crops that we grow through our clever use of agriculture are enabled by the
nitrogen present in the soil. This nitrogen feeds and strengthens our crops. But where does it
come from? Worms, bacteria and other life found within the soil love to decompose
vegetation. When they eat, these organisms produce nitrogen as waste, which crops really
love. This is also how nutrient-rich compost is made. If these bacteria species were killed off,
then our crops would not grow properly, and our entire food system could collapse.
1. How do humans control their food supply?
By building hospitals and schools
By using agriculture and irrigation
By studying plants and animals
2. What have humans built to feel safe and comfortable?
Schools, hospitals and computers
Forests and rivers
Farms and gardens
3. What does the author compare the Earth to?
A human body
A large farm
A complex machine
4. What does the author say about the parts of the Earth machine?
There are no unnecessary parts.
Some parts are more important than others.
Humans are the most important part.
5. What happens if you remove a small gear from a clock?
It stops working.
It works more slowly.
It works in the same way.
6. What do worms and bacteria in the soil like to do?
Drink water.
Eat crops.
Break down dead plants.
7. What does nitrogen do for crops?
It keeps them dry.
It makes them grow well.
It protects them from insects.
8. How is nitrogen made in the soil?
Organisms produce it when they eat.
It comes from rain.
Farmers add it to the soil.
9. What could happen if soil bacteria died out?
The food system could collapse.
Crops would grow better.
New bacteria would appear.
10. According to the text, which living organisms are important for keeping the Earth running?
Only bacteria and worms
Only large animals and plants
Every species, from the microbes to humans
