VIII. Read the passage and then answer questions 61-70

Excursions are part of education. One day we had a pleasant surprise when our teacher told us that we were going on an excursion to the islands around Singapore. The coming Sunday was chosen and we were asked to be at school around 6.30 a.m. We were very happy and waited eagerly for the day. In the meantime, we planned the program for the trip.

On that day, everyone was present at as early as 6 o’clock. A bus had been arranged to take us to the World Trade Centre pier to take the launch for the islands. There was a big crowd of holiday makers buying tickets. But our tickets had been arranged and one launch had already been reserved for us. We all rushed in. My friends and I took seats so that we can have a better view. My teachers cautioned us about the danger of leaning on the boat’s rail and looking over the sea. The boat left the pier around 8 a.m. and we enjoyed scenes of huge ships anchored at the harbour.

The boat moved faster into the sea where it was rough. The boat started to swing from side to side. The early morning breeze was so cool and very soon the boat anchored at Kusu island, which is known for its Chinese temple. We then had our breakfast and snacks and we wasted no time exploring the beach.

We left the island in an hour’s time and our next stop was St. John islands. The sea was crystal clear and even at that time we saw many swimmers and some were resting under the tree. Some holiday makers were watching us and some were annoyed by our mischief. We finished our lunch there and our next stops were Pulau Pinane, Sentosa and other islands. Our boat merely passed by the island and we were not allowed to visit it because of the time.We returned to the World Trade Centre pier around 5 p.m. and quickly the bus took us home.

VIII. Read the passage and then answer questions 61-70

Excursions are part of education. One day we had a pleasant surprise when our teacher told us that we were going on an excursion to the islands around Singapore. The coming Sunday was chosen and we were asked to be at school around 6.30 a.m. We were very happy and waited eagerly for the day. In the meantime, we planned the program for the trip.

On that day, everyone was present at as early as 6 o’clock. A bus had been arranged to take us to the World Trade Centre pier to take the launch for the islands. There was a big crowd of holiday makers buying tickets. But our tickets had been arranged and one launch had already been reserved for us. We all rushed in. My friends and I took seats so that we can have a better view. My teachers cautioned us about the danger of leaning on the boat’s rail and looking over the sea. The boat left the pier around 8 a.m. and we enjoyed scenes of huge ships anchored at the harbour.

The boat moved faster into the sea where it was rough. The boat started to swing from side to side. The early morning breeze was so cool and very soon the boat anchored at Kusu island, which is known for its Chinese temple. We then had our breakfast and snacks and we wasted no time exploring the beach.

We left the island in an hour’s time and our next stop was St. John islands. The sea was crystal clear and even at that time we saw many swimmers and some were resting under the tree. Some holiday makers were watching us and some were annoyed by our mischief. We finished our lunch there and our next stops were Pulau Pinane, Sentosa and other islands. Our boat merely passed by the island and we were not allowed to visit it because of the time.We returned to the World Trade Centre pier around 5 p.m. and quickly the bus took us home.

Ex3: Read the passage and choose the best answer
JURASSIC PARK
Danny Mellor visits an island where most of the occupants are meat-eating monsters – and he learns that you should take them seriously, very seriously
When I heard that there was an island where the local inhabitants are almost all dragons, I didn’t believe it. But it’s true. Komodo dragons live on four islands in Indonesia, including the island of Komodo. It isn’t easy to get there. You have to go to an island called Sumbawa and then take a seven-hour boat ride.
The Komodo dragon is the world’s largest lizard. They’re big (they can be more than 12 feet long) and they’re ugly! Komodo dragons are carnivorous, eating insects, birds, deer, horses, and even young Komodo dragons. They young can sometimes escape by climbing trees, because the heavier adults can’t climb very well. Komodo dragons are good swimmers, however, and often hunt in the surf for fish and birds. Komodo dragons are such deadly predators that even one bite can be lethal. The bacteria in the dragon’s saliva is so dangerous that wounds don’t usually heal. If a victim gets away, it often dies from infection within days. Their reputation as human killers is well deserved, too. They are responsible for attacking and killing both locals and tourists.
But there are fewer than 6.000 Komodo dragons, so you won’t find them easily. They don’t like coming out when they hear people. In fact, you can’t even look for them without an experienced guide. If a dragon runs towards you, the guide quickly puts a stick across its neck. For some reason, with a stick holding its head on the ground, a Komodo dragon lives very quite and still. But without it, look out! You might be lunch!

Task 1: Match each word with a word that has a similar meaning. Write your answers in the box
21. occupant
22. carnivorous
23. deadly
24. predator
25. human
26. visitors

A. meat-eating
B. tourists
C. people
D. inhabitant
E. lethal
F. killer

Task 2: Choose the correct answer:
27. When Danny first heard about Komodo Island, he _______________
A. was sure it existed
B. wasn’t sure it existed
C. didn’t want to go there
D. really wanted to go there

28. Komodo Island is_____________
A. an island in Malaysia
B. one place dragons live
C. the only place dragons live
D. the home of Dragons

Ex3: Read the passage and choose the best answer
JURASSIC PARK
Danny Mellor visits an island where most of the occupants are meat-eating monsters – and he learns that you should take them seriously, very seriously
When I heard that there was an island where the local inhabitants are almost all dragons, I didn’t believe it. But it’s true. Komodo dragons live on four islands in Indonesia, including the island of Komodo. It isn’t easy to get there. You have to go to an island called Sumbawa and then take a seven-hour boat ride.
The Komodo dragon is the world’s largest lizard. They’re big (they can be more than 12 feet long) and they’re ugly! Komodo dragons are carnivorous, eating insects, birds, deer, horses, and even young Komodo dragons. They young can sometimes escape by climbing trees, because the heavier adults can’t climb very well. Komodo dragons are good swimmers, however, and often hunt in the surf for fish and birds. Komodo dragons are such deadly predators that even one bite can be lethal. The bacteria in the dragon’s saliva is so dangerous that wounds don’t usually heal. If a victim gets away, it often dies from infection within days. Their reputation as human killers is well deserved, too. They are responsible for attacking and killing both locals and tourists.
But there are fewer than 6.000 Komodo dragons, so you won’t find them easily. They don’t like coming out when they hear people. In fact, you can’t even look for them without an experienced guide. If a dragon runs towards you, the guide quickly puts a stick across its neck. For some reason, with a stick holding its head on the ground, a Komodo dragon lives very quite and still. But without it, look out! You might be lunch!

ex3: Read the passage and choose the best answer
jurassic park
danny mellor visits an island where most of the occupants are meat-eating monsters – and he learns that you should take them seriously, very seriously
when i heard that there was an island where the local inhabitants are almost all dragons, i didn’t believe it. But it’s true. Komodo dragons live on four islands in indonesia, including the island of komodo. It isn’t easy to get there. You have to go to an island called sumbawa and then take a seven-hour boat ride.
The komodo dragon is the world’s largest lizard. They’re big (they can be more than 12 feet long) and they’re ugly! Komodo dragons are carnivorous, eating insects, birds, deer, horses, and even young komodo dragons. They young can sometimes escape by climbing trees, because the heavier adults can’t climb very well. Komodo dragons are good swimmers, however, and often hunt in the surf for fish and birds. Komodo dragons are such deadly predators that even one bite can be lethal. The bacteria in the dragon’s saliva is so dangerous that wounds don’t usually heal. If a victim gets away, it often dies from infection within days. Their reputation as human killers is well deserved, too. They are responsible for attacking and killing both locals and tourists.
But there are fewer than 6.000 komodo dragons, so you won’t find them easily. They don’t like coming out when they hear people. In fact, you can’t even look for them without an experienced guide. If a dragon runs towards you, the guide quickly puts a stick across its neck. For some reason, with a stick holding its head on the ground, a komodo dragon lives very quite and still. But without it, look out! You might be lunch!
