Water is the most essential element in our life. We cannot think of life without water. We need water to

drink, to wash our bodies and clothes, to cook our food and to grow crops, vegetables and fruits. Water is also

essential for animals, birds, insects etc. We need huge resources of water to generate electricity on a large and

commercial scale. Nearly 70 percent of our body is water. No living being can exist for long without water, the

most valuable liquid. We use oceans, seas, rivers and lakes as waterways to carry goods, passengers, etc. Lack

of rain causes droughts. Thus, water is very important to our life and our planet.

A dictionary is a book which explains the meanings of words and expressions. You can find words easily because dictionaries put them in alphabetical order. The word “ dictionary ” comes from the Latin ’dicto’ ( ‘saying’ ) . There are several types of dictionaries. Dictionaries which explain words and how they are used; dictionaries which translate word from language to another; dictionaries of biography which tell about famous people; and technical dictionaries which explain the meaning of technical words.

Dictionaries which explain what words mean give a clear ’definition’ of them . A good dictionary also gives more information about words. For instance, it explains how they are pronounced. Usually the International Phonetic Alphabet ( IPA ) is used for this purpose. There are also dictionaries which translate words into other languages. Very often one volume translates both ways;

For example, half of the book is from English to Persian and the other half from Persian to English. When using a dictionary to find out how to say something in another language, one has to be careful to choose the right meaning. A word like “ right “ has several meanings in English , for example, “ correct” and “ the opposite of left” . A word like “ present” may be used as an adjective, meaning “ not absent” , as a noun, meaning “ gift” or as a verb, meaning “ give” . Words with different meanings exist in other languages, too. A good dictionary lists all the meanings of words to help people find the meaning that they look for. A complete dictionary also tells you about the origin of words and the story behind them. For example, the words like pajamas, bazaar and paradise entered English from Persian language.

1. What is the origin of the word ‘dictionary’?

2. In which paragraph the definition of the word ‘dictionary’ is mentioned? Write it.

3. According to the passage the word ‘combination’ appears before the word ‘commemorate’ in a

dictionary. ( true - false )

4. According to the last paragraph, the word “paradise” is English , originally. ( true - false )

5. According to the passage, ----------------- is not considered to be a kind of dictionary.

a) bilingual dictionary b) dictionary of biography c) alphabetical dictionary d) technical dictionary

6. The word “which” in the first line refers to ---------------- .

a) dictionary b) book c) meaning d) word

Energy is the power derived by using chemical or physical resources, and it is the strength and vitality required for

sustained mental or physical activity. People and animals get energy from eating food. The plants receive their energy

from the Sun, and in turn people eat the plants and animals that have also eaten plants-all made possible by the food

chain.

Non-renewable energy sources are those that take millions of years to form and will

run out some day. It is energy that comes from fossil fuels such as coal, crude oil, and

natural gas. Fossil fuels are mainly made up of carbon and were formed millions of

years ago. However, renewable energy sources will never run out, are better for the

environment and do not cause pollution. They can sometimes cost a little more

money. Renewable energy sources include the Sun, wind, water, heat from the earth,

and biomass (plants).

Renewable energy is often called green energy because it is a natural energy, always available and does not have to be

formed like nonrenewable energy. The green energy is always there. For example, the Sun consistently shines, water is

abundant, and the winds blow throughout the year. The five types include solar, energy from the Sun; geothermal,

energy from heat within the Earth; hydroelectric, energy from moving water; biomass, energy from dead plants and

microorganisms and finally, energy from the wind.

For solar, the energy from the sun is captured in one of two ways. Active uses special technology and equipment to use

the energy and focus the sunlight in a specific spot, generating electricity. Passive uses no equipment, uses the sunlight

as it naturally changes throughout the day.

1) Which is better Renewable energy or Non-renewable energy? Why?

2) Renewable energy is often called which of the following?

A: Blue energy

B: Green energy

C: Red energy

3) All the following are fossil fuels EXCEPT?

4) Energy from moving water is called?
