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.

1. How geyser is produced?            

A. By the rise of temperature pressure functioning hot steam.  

B. From a huge tension of heated water that coming out from the earth crack.  

C. From the heated temperature in earth crack that absorbing water.    

D. From the temperature and absorbed water that occurs on earth surface.       

E. By the hot water and temperature of hot rock that occurs on earth surface

2. Steam and hot water shoot out of the surface because of ….     

A. hot rock and water   

B. temperature and pressure    

C. greater pressure        

D. high temperature and increased pressure     

E. underground temperature and increased pressure

3. “… and expelling more than ten thousand gallons during each eruption.” (Paragraph 2). The word “expelling” is closest in meaning to ….               

A. Heating          

B. Melting          

C. Wasting          

D. Supplying      

E. Discharging

Globalization has been around for a long time in one shape or another. Trade routes have been operating between different part of the world since ancient times. Now, globalization has extended into other sectors. 

However, people view its merits differently. The followers of globalization believe that productivity grows in countries that open up their markets and integrate with outside economies as they gain access to wealthy economies where they can sell their goods and services. 

Next, lesser developed nations benefit from the increase in investment from foreign countries both financially and through jobs. Finally, through globalization, countries can specialize more in what they produce and what they do best. The opponents of globalization have their views, first, wages and working conditions everywhere are pushed downwards as companies gravitate towards countries where the wages are the lowest and the workers’ rights are the worst. In addition, the environment suffers, as production moves to places where they have less strict rules and regulations about controlling pollution and deforestation. Most seriously, globalization undermines national sovereignties and national governments as individual countries become increasingly at the mercy of international markets, and multinational corporations grow more powerful and influential.

4. How can globalization potentially damage environment?

A. Production of good pays little attention to natural balances

B. Foreign investment tends to put heavy economic benefit

C. Lands of developing countries are excessively cultivated

D. Irresponsibly mutational factories dump the sewage

E. Industries tend to occupy areas with weak laws

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.

5. The first way to make chocolate is ?

A. Burned chocolate

B. Make the Chocolate to brings out flavour

C. roasting the beans to bring out the flavor

D. Roasting the Chocolate bread

E. Roasting all of the Flavour
