No more books? For today‟s kids, the Internet has all the answers. Gadgets come and go and most of them don‟t have a very long life. The Internet, (46) , seems to be here to stay. The World Wide Web is now the largest information (47) in the world and teenagers can find more or less anything they want there. They can (48) music and films, watch TV, listen to the radio, send e-mails and even shop online. In the United States for example, more than 78% of kids go (49) , according to a recent study. A lot of them are just (50) the Web and instant messaging their friends. But 94% of those online said they also used it (51). schoolwork.

Festivals 56. Because of the skepticism surrounding science in parts of the country, Vietnamese philosophies for life generally rely on emotions or the words of their forefathers. For example, in their twelve-year lunar calendar many of the years are considered incompatible, meaning a traditional Vietnamese man could not marry a woman born in the wrong year because it would break the family ties with his parents and relatives. 57. This tradition was born of the constant need for defense against foreign invaders. Ironically, it was also heavily influenced by China during its ongoing occupation, but over time the Vietnamese have developed their own distinct styles. Traditional wrestling is also considered an ancient tradition and is practiced during Tet. 58. Vietnam owes much of its belief system to folk tales and in the traditional sense. Its people turn to the worship of gods, goddesses and ancestors for guidance, and are the only known collection of people to have a god of the kitchen. It is also believed that failing to conduct proper rituals upon death will create „hungry ghosts‟, so the spirit world is commonly considered to be of great importance. 59. Most Vietnamese celebrations involve offerings to the spirit world, celebrations of life or commemorations of the dead, and so weddings and funerals in Vietnam are both joyous occasions – you might not quite be sure which one you‟re watching! 60. A tight-fitting silk tunic is the Vietnamese national dress for women – it was briefly banned following the fall of Saigon, but is now made in white for schoolgirls and is designed to accentuate womanly curves whilst covering the whole body. Dresses are commonly made of silk or cotton and sandals are made of old tire rubber. IV. Read the tourist guide and decide if the statements are True, False, or Not Given. Indochina stretches across Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. It is a mosaic of Southeast Asia‟s most spectacular landscapes, captivating cities and diverse coastlines. Step back in time on a journey through all three of these enchanting countries on a holiday perfect for honeymooners, families and everyone in between. Stretching from north to south, Indochina‟s backbone is Vietnam, separating the rest of Southeast Asia from the Pacific Ocean. From the chaotic and colorful streets of Hanoi to the ancient charm of Hoi An, Vietnam‟s cities bookend this compelling country. Elsewhere, the floating markets of the Mekong Delta and limestone karsts of Halong Bay are amongst the country‟s highlights and easily accessible from one another. Lying to the west is Cambodia, a melting pot of majestic temples and idyllic beaches. Visiting the iconic time-etched temples of Angkor at sunrise, relaxing on its sun kissed beaches, discovering its floating villages and learning about its fascinating history sit top of the bill on a Cambodian adventure. Often forgotten on an Indochina itinerary is Laos, a true gem in Southeast Asia, offering unspoilt and authentic experiences in abundance. Its staggering natural beauty is a force to be reckoned with, whilst its pace of life is slow. The bustling city of Vientiane is French colonial charm and colorful Buddhist temples whilst the lush verdant hills surrounding Luang Prabang are a patchwork 3
4. of green landscapes, saffron robes and gilded wats. Laos is a land of contrasts that awakens and excites the senses. 61. Three countries in Indochina are mentioned in the text. 62. Cambodia is in the west of the Indochina. 63. The floating market of the Mekong Delta is the most colorful in Vietnam. 64. There are no Buddhist temples in Vientiane 65. Visiting the temples of Angkor at sunrise wastes lots of time on a Cambodian adventure. V. Read then answer the questions. Did you ever see the movie The Wizard of Oz? A tornado sweeps up Dorothy and Toto, sending them to a new world where there are witches and talking lions! That entire story is fiction, but tornadoes are real and they are serious business. In fact, they can be the most dangerous storms of all. Tornadoes are sometimes referred to as twisters or cyclones. They are shaped like a cylinder. They are born in thunderclouds. The winds inside a tornado swirl around and around and can be more than 300 miles per hour. The winds are so strong that tornadoes can lift animals, cars, and even houses. The United States has more tornadoes than any other country in the world. States such as Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska are hit hard by tornadoes. This part of the country is known as “tornado alley”. Tornado season is during the spring and summer. If conditions are right, a tornado can happen any time of year. 66. Where do tornadoes begin? 67. What is the speed of the winds inside a tornado? 68. What are tornadoes shaped like? 69. Which nation has the largest number of tornadoes? 70. How many states mentioned form tornado alley? D.
