Deviations from normal temperature patterns of the southern Pacific Ocean, between Australia and South America, result in the phenomenon called El Niño. Under normal conditions, eastern trade winds blows across the Pacific. These drive sun-warmed surface water from the central Pacific to the coast of northern Australia. When clouds form above this area of warm water and move over Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia, they bring rain with them. Every two to seven years, however, this pattern is interrupted by the El Niño event.

During El Niño, the Pacific Ocean of Australia does not warm as much as it normally does. Instead, it becomes warmer right up to the coast of Peru in South America. At the same time, the easterly trade winds that blow across the Pacific reverse their direction. This causes high-pressure systems to build up to the north of and across the Australian Continent, preventing moist tropical air reaching the continent. These conditions in turn result in storms, and in rain falling in the eastern Pacific Ocean and in South America instead of in Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia, which suffer drought conditions.

While the effects of El Niño are sometimesweak, at the other times they are verystrong. During a severe El Niño period,extreme drought conditions prevail,as in 1982 - 1983 and 1997-1998. In contrast,heavy rainfall and flooding occurredin parts of North and South America.In 1997, there were severe storms andAustralia, they bring rain with them.Every two to seven years, however,this pattern is interrupted by the ElNiño event. During El Niño, the PacificOcean of Australia does not warm asmuch as it normally does. Instead, itbecomes warmer right up to the coastof Peru in South America. At the sametime, the easterly trade winds thatblow across the Pacific reverse theirdirection. This causes high-pressuresystems to build up to the north offloods in Mexico and further northalong the west coast of the UnitedStates.

The converse of the El Niño effect is theLa Niña effect, which is an exaggerationof normal conditions. This takes placewhen trade winds blow strongly andconsistently across the Pacific towardsAustralia. This pushes the warmwaters from the central Pacific, off thenorthern Australian coastto build upinto a mass that is bigger than normal.Thus, much more cloud develops thanusual, and this brings considerablymore rain to Australia and neighbouring countries.

26. What is the main idea the second paragraph?A. El Nino is in United States.B. The effect of El Nino is weak.C. The effect of El Nino can be very dangerous.D. The effect of El Nino can be extremely strong.E. La Nina is the contrast of El Nino phenomenon.

27. This statement is not correct according to paragraph 1 ….A. El Nino occurs every 2 – 7 yearsB. El Nino causes Papua New Guinea suffers droughtC. the coast of Peru becomes warmer because of El NinoD. El Nino causes the moist tropical air reach Australian continentE. El Nino causes high – pressure system builds up across Australian continent

Smoking in restaurants is just not on. It must not be allowed because it is rude, harmful to others and dangerous for the smokers.

The levels of advertising are just too much these days. You cannot walk down the street, ride on a bus, watch television or read your email without seeing advertisements.

Advertising has a positive role to play in modern society, helping us choose between competing goods. Many adverts are drawing our attention to products with new features, for example more powerful computers, telephones which are also cameras and music players, or foods with added vitamins. Other adverts try to compete on price, helping us seek out thecheapest or best value products. In most cases advertising does not make us go shopping – we would be planning to buy food, clothes, gifts and entertainment anyway. What advertising does is to help us make better decisions about how to spend our money, by giving us more information about the choices available.

On the other hand, advertising leads to many people being overwhelmed by the endless need to decide between competing demands on their attention – this is known as the tyranny of choice or choice overload. Recent research suggests that people are on average less happy than they were 30 years ago - despite being better off and having much more choice of things to spendtheir money on. The claims of adverts crowd in on people, raising expectations about a product and leading to inevitable disappointment after it is bought. Shoppers feel that a poor purchase is their fault for not choosing more wisely, and regret not choosing something else instead. Some people are so overwhelmed that they cannot choose at all.

A. The role of advertising in modern society.B. The two different view about advertising in

When author Nicholas Sparks sat down to write The Notebook, a tender love story inspired by the enduring relationship of his wife Cathy's grandparents, he wanted his readers to walk away with a renewed spirit of hope.

"I'll never forget watching those two people flirt," he recalls. "I mean, you don't see that very often. They’d been married 67 years, and yet they still loved each other. I wanted to write a book about that kind of love. I wanted people to know that unconditional love does exist."

So Sparks created The Notebook, the simple story of Noah Calhoun, a soft spoken North Carolina outdoorsman who carried his love for the willowy Allie Nelson with him long after their youthful romance had ended. He paralleled Noah's silent passions with Allie's haunting thoughts—feelings she could not escape even after she became engaged to another man. He asked his readers to consider what it might mean if these relatively happy, middle-aged people found their destinies once again overlapped.

He presented a question all but universal in appeal: What would happen if two people were given a second chance at the love of a lifetime?

Sparks deftly answers that question. But it's the inspiration drawn from his real life grandparents that makes The Notebook more than just a novel of flames reignited. The novel opens and closes with an elderly Noah Calhoun reading aloud from his personal journals and "notebooks." And as he shares the delicate details, the good with the bad, it's clear he is as enchanted with Allie in old age as he was on the day they met.

"And that’s the legacy of The Notebook," according to Nicholas Sparks. "When love is real, it doesn't matter what turns the road takes. When love is real, the joys and possibilities are endless." — Reviewed by Kelly Milner Halls

35. The text mainly tells about ….A. The NotebookB. the writer of The NotebookC. the review of The Notebook D. the reviewer of The NotebookE. the main characters of The Notebook

36. The following statement is true about the novel ….A. the Notebook was written by Kelly MilnerB. the Notebook was reviewed by Nicholas SparkC. the author got his inspiration from his wife’s experienceD. Kelly Milner Halls was the main woman character of the novelE. Noah Calhoun and Ally Nelson were the main character of the novel
