            The energy in wind comes from the sun. When the sun shines, some of its light reaches the earth’s surface. The earth near the equator receives more of the sun’s energy than the North and the South poles
            Some parts of the earth absorb more solar energy than others. Some part reflect more of the sun’s ray back into the air. Light-colored surface and water reflect more sunlight than dark surfaces. Snow and ice reflect sunlight, too.
            Some types of land absorb more solar energy than others. Dark forests absorb sunlight while light desert sands reflect it. Land areas usually absorb more energy than water in lakes and oceans.
            When the earth’s surface absorbs the sun’s energy, it turns the light into heat. This heat on the Earth’s surface warms the air above it. The air over equator gets warmer than the surface air near the poles. The air over the desert gets warmer than the air in the mountain.
            The air over the land usually gets warmer than the air over the water. As air warms, it expands. The warm air over the land becomes less dense than the cooler air and rises into the atmosphere. Cooler and denser air flows in to take its place. This moving air is what we call wind. It is caused by the uneven heating of Earth’s surface.
29. We know from the first paragraph that…….
            A. the amount of solar energy is not the same in every part of the earth
            B. the earth’s surface is always exposed to sun light
            C. the sun’s energy is very limited in the south pole
            D. the wind comes from the sun                     E. the equator is always sunny
30. The warm air over the land rises into atmosphere because it is……..
            A. thicker                                B. warmer                               C. denser
            D. cooler                                                                                 E. lighter
31. According to the text, snow and ice reflect sunlight because……..
            A. they do not contain sun energy                  B. they have light color
            C. they are basically water                              D. they absorb sunlight
            E. they are shiny
32. “……, it turns the light into heat”. (1st line in 4th paragraph). The underlined word is closed in meaning to …….
            A. brings                     B. takes                       C. changes

The Jacaranda Tree
            The Jacaranda tree is a beautiful flowering tree that is native to areas of the Caribbean, Mexico, South America and Central America; however, it is extremely popular across Australia, Israel, Africa and the southwestern portion of the United States. Depending on the species, it can range anywhere from a shrub of 6 feet (2m) tall to a picturesque tree of 45 feet (18m) tall. Its leaves resemble a feather and its flowers vary from purple to blue to white. In the autumn months, the leaves and the brilliant blossoms fall to the ground.
            Although the Jacaranda tree is clearly loved and valued for its aesthetics, it also has other important uses. One of the most popular varieties is the blue Jacaranda. Its flowers are a striking sight in any town or lining any street. It is perfect for cooling patios or other sunny spots, especially since it can grow to 60 feet (18m) wide. Other species of the Jacaranda have additional uses. For example, The Jacaranda Copaia is used for its timber and making of furniture, plywood, wood boxes, matchsticks and paper.
            In Grafton, Northern Rivers New South Wales, Australia, the Jacaranda Festival is held every year from the last weekend of October until the first weekend of November during the area’s spring season. It is a celebration of the generosity that the nature bestowed on the people of the region and is based on the marvelous sight provided by the many flowering Jacaranda trees in Grafton. Through the course of the festival many fun festivities take place, such as the crowning of the Jacaranda Princess and Queen and the Jacaranda ball.

Associated Press/Barcelona, Spain
            Christiano Ronaldo scored a hat trick to power Real Madrid to a 5-1 home win over Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday, as the defending champions strung together back-to back Spanish league victories for the first time this season.
            Madrid will head into next weekend’s “clasico” match at Camp Nou eight point behind leading Barcelona, but at least Jose Mourinho’s side is showing strong signs it has recovered its dominating form from the last campaign.
            Deportivo opened through Ivan “Riki” Sanches-Rico 16 minutes in, but Ronaldo equalized from the penalty spot in the 23rd and netted again just before half time after Angle Di Maria had extended to lead.
            Pepe added a headed goal in the 66th before Ronaldo capped the victory with a spot kick in the 83rd. “The most important thing about my three goals is that they helped the team to win”, said Ronaldo. “We know it will be tough against Barcelona. We are playing away from home. But we have to be focused and confident that we can play a good game and get the victory.
            Ronaldo’s 17th career hat trick lifted him even with Barcelona’s Lione Messi with 6 goals each through 6 rounds. Both trail Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falco by one goal.
            Until now, Madrid had been unable to reproduce the same attacking verve that had led it to convincing victories over Manchester City in the Champion League and Barcelona in Spanish Super Cup
            But after shaking off “Deportivo’s early goal, it quickly took care of business at Santiago Bernabeu Stadiun on a night it could ill afford another slip up.
            “We started without a lot of energy, but we woke up after the 1-0” said Ronaldo. It was an important win because we knew we couldn’t drop any more points.

New robotic system can transmit sense of touch.
Asia News Network (The Yomiuri Shimbun) Thu, 07/12/2012 10:42 a.m. Sci-Tech
Japanese researchers have developed a robotic system that can convey the sense of touch-including temperature, hardness and texture-from a robot to human hand. The system was developed by Susumu Tachi, special professor at Keio University, and his development staff.
            The users wear a helmet with a monitor display, a vest and gloves that can receive the “sense of touch” of fabric and objects grasped by the robot. The vest transmits information about the wearer’s position and posture, while the gloves recreate the sense of touch and temperature of the object.
            As the robot has a number of sensors on its fingertips, the user can even feel the vibration of marbles in a glass container and detect differences in the feel of fabrics.
23. What is the topic of the text?
            A. News of new developing of robotic system
            B. An explanation of how a robot transmits sense of touch
            C. News of how Susumu Tachi develops a new robot
            D. A robot that was developed at Keiko University
            E. A development of sensors on robotic system
24. The user can feel the vibration of marbles in glass container because….
            A. the user wears a helmet with a monitor display
            B. the robot has a number of sensor on its fingertip
            C. the robot can detect differences in the feel of fabric
            D. the vast transmit information about the wearer’s position
            E. the vest and gloves can receive the “sense of touch” of marbles
Speech Production
            The components of speech system are the lungs, trachea (windpipe), larynx (organ of speech production), pharyngeal cavity (throat), oral or buccal cavity (mouth), and nasal cavity (nose).
            In technical discussions, the pharyngeal and oral cavities are usually grouped into one unit referred to as the vocal tract. The vocal track begins at the output of the larynx (vocal cord or glottis) and terminates at the input to the lips. The nasal tack begins at the velum and end at the nostrils. When the velum (a trap-door-like mechanism at the back of the oral cavity) is lowered, the nasal track is acoustically coupled to the vocal tract to produce the nasal sounds of speech.
            Meanwhile, air enters the lungs via the normal breathing mechanism. As air is expelled from the lungs through the trachea, the tensed vocal cords within the larynx are caused to vibrate by air flow. The airflow is chopped into quasi-periodic pulses, which later are modulated in frequency in passing through the throat, the oral cavity, and possibly the nasal cavity. Depending on the position of various articulators (i.e., jaw, tongue, velum, lips and mouth), different sound are produced.
29. The vocal track ends in the …..
            A. nose                        B. mouth                     C. lips
            D. trachea                    E. larynx

            A. the glottis                                       B. the vocal track        C. the various articulators
            D. the air flows into the lungs            E. the air flows from the lungs
