Silkworms
Silkworms live for only two or three days
after laying eggs. About 36,000 to 50,000 eggs are laid, and these are
carefully stored at the silkworm farm until they are ready to hatch. The eggs
hatch into caterpillars, which feed on mulberry leaves. Soon, the caterpillars
are ready to spin their cocoons. Not all caterpillars can spin silk cocoons.
Only the caterpillars of a silkworm moth known as ‘Bombyx mari’ can do such
spinning. This caterpillar has special glands which secrete liquid silk through
its lower lip. The liquid produced later hardens to form tine strands.
The caterpillar makes its cocoons using these strands. The threads on the
outside of the cocoon are rough, while those inside are soft and smooth.
Some fully-spun cocoons are heated. This kills the pupa inside. The cocoons are
then put into hot water to loosen the fine threads. Finally, these threads are
reeled off the cocoons.
The length of unbroken thread produced by a single cocoon measures about
one-and-a-half kilometers. Being twisted together several of these threads make
single woven materials.

Chocolate
Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we'll
enter the amazing world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you're
eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in
equatorial regions, especially in places such as South America, Africa, and
Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pine
apple. Inside the fruit are the tree's seeds, also known as cocoa beans.
The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to
the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring
out the flavour. Different beans from different places have different qualities
and flavor, so they are often sorted and blended to produce a
distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing removes the
meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The
blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate
liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat, and cacao beans
are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground
nibs form liquid. It's pure bitter chocolate.

Song
by: Jason Mraz
All day
I’ve been inside
And I’ve got the feeling
I’m trapped between the walls
And underneath the ceiling
I feel a bit off track
And I’m trying to get back
Back in the cool, cool air where the sun is shining
Nothing’s going to stop me
It’s all in the timing
It’s finally again my turn
It’s time to return
‘Cause I won’t stay inside no more
No more
I can’t wait to go
Outdoors
Well open up your door and be like me
Open up your door and then breathe free
And look at all the beauty you’ll feel
Loved, loved, loved, loved
Listen to the music of the wind and the brides sing
We’re just one big family
And all of nature deserves to be
Loved, loved, loved, loved,
Loved
So, I
won’t stay inside no more
No more
It can’t wait, I’m sure
There’s need to run and hide
Let’s go explore
It feels so great let’s go outdoors
(Don’t cha
do)
Everyone come on
come on out there
where the air is fresh and clear
So, I
won’t stay inside no more
No more
It cannot wait
Let’s go out doors
Well, open
up your door and be like me
Open up your door and then breathe free
And look
at all the beauty and you’ll find
The earth and the sky is yours
So please go, there’s no need,
There’s no need to hide inside
Let’s go explore
This will, this will feel so great
Let’s go outdoors

A geyser is the result of underground water under the
combined conditions of high temperatures and increased pressure beneath the
surface of the earth. Since temperature rises approximately 1 F for every sixty
feet under the earth's surface, and pressure increases with depth, the water
that seeps down in crack and fissures until it reaches very hot rock in the
earth interior becomes heated to temperature in excess of 290 F. Because of the
greater pressure, the water shoots out of the surface in the form of steam and
hot water. The result is a geyser. In order to function, then a geyser must
have a source of heat, reservoir where water can be stored until the temperature
rises to an unstable point, an opening through which the hot water and steam
can escape, and underground channels for resupplying water after an eruption.
Favorable conditions for geyser exist in some regions of the world
including New Zealand, Iceland, and the Yellowstone National Park area of the
United States. The most famous geyser in the world is Old Faithfull in Yellow
Park. Old Faithfull erupts almost every hour, rising to a height of 125 to 170
feet and expelling more than ten thousand gallons during each eruption.
40.
How geyser is
produced?
A.
By the rise of
temperature pressure functioning hot steam.
B.
From a huge tension

In autumn, the color of the leaves changes into beautiful yellow,
red, and brown. Do you know how this happens? To answer the questions, first we
have to understand about leaves.
Leaves are the food factories of plants. Plants take water from the
ground through their roots and they take carbon dioxide from the air. Plants
need glucose for energy and for their growth.
The plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into
glucose. The process is called photosynthesis and substances process. The trees
will rest, and use the food that they have stored during summer. The trees
begin to close their food factories. The green chlorophyll substance disappears
from the leaves. As the leaves begin to lose their green color, they change
into beautiful yellow and orange.
In some trees, like maple tree, glucose is trapped in the leaves
after the photosynthesis process stops. Sunlight and cool rights turn the green
color of the leaves into red. Oak leaves become brown because of wastes that
are left in the leaves. This combination of red and brown makes the trees look
very beautiful in autumn.
43. The best title for
the text above is ….
A. How leaves change
B. The substances process
C. Photosynthesis
D. The food factories
E. Leaves color in
autumn
Viva Forever
Song by: Spice Girls
Do you still remember
How we used to be

My love has said to me

Young love in the sun
Felt like my savior, my spirit I gave ya
We’d only just begun

Viva forever, I’ll be waiting
Everlasting, like the sun
Live forever,
For the moment
Ever searching for the one

Every whispered word
The touch of your skin, giving life from within
Like a love song that I’d heard
Slipping through out fingers,
Like the sands of time
Promise made, every memory saved
Has reflections in my mind
Hasta Manana,
Always be mine

I've been reading
books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spider-Man's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list
Chorus
But she said,
where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not lookin' for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairy-tale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
Bridge
I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
I want something
just like this
I've been reading
books of old
The legends and the myths
The testaments they told
The moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls
A suit before he lifts
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits
She said, where'd
you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not lookin' for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairy-tale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can miss
I want something
just like this
I want something just like this
