1. Shanghai is the largest Chinese city by population. It is one of the four direct-controlled
municipalities of China and has a population of more than 24 million as of 2014. It is a
global financial center, and transport hub containing the world's busiest container
port.
2. Shanghai is located in the Yangtze River Delta in East China, and borders the provinces
of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the north, south and west, and is bounded to the east by
the East China Sea.
3. For centuries it was a major administrative, shipping, and trading town, and grew in
importance in the 19th century due to its location and economic potential. The city
was one of five forced open to foreign trade following the British victory over China in
the First Opium War. After some time the city then flourished as a center of commerce
between east and west. After the Communist Party takeover of the mainland in 1949,
trade focused on socialist countries, and the city's global influence declined. In the
1990s, Deng Xiaoping started economic reforms which led to re-development of the
city, and foreign investment to the city.
4. Shanghai is a popular tourist destination renowned because of its historical landmarks

such as the Bund, City God Temple and Yu Garden. Other sites include major museums
such as the Shanghai Museum and the China Art Museum. From these examples, it can
be understood that it has been described as the "showpiece" of the booming economy
of mainland China.

1. Tartan is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple

colours. Tartan is usually associated with Scotland. Scottish kilts, or garments wrapped
around men's waists, almost always have tartan patterns.
2. Tartans originated in woven wool, but now they are made using different materials. It
is made with alternating bands of coloured threads woven as both warp and weft at
right angles to each other. The patterns are simply different checked-cloth patterns,
chosen by the wearer's preference. It was not until the mid-nineteenth century that
many patterns were created and artificially associated with Scottish clans, families, or
institutions who were (or wished to be seen as) associated in some way with a Scottish
heritage.
3. In Scotland, the Dress Act of 1746 attempted to bring the warrior clans under
government control by banning the tartan and other aspects of Gaelic culture. When
the law was taken away in 1782, it was no longer ordinary Highland dress, but was
instead used as the symbolic national dress of Scotland.
4. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, the highland tartans were only associated
with either regions or districts, rather than any specific Scottish clan. This was because
tartan designs were produced by local weavers and would usually only use the natural
dyes available in that area.
5. It is generally believed that the most popular tartans today are the Black Watch (also
known as Old Campbell, Grant Hunting, Universal, Government), and the Royal
Stewart.
6. Today tartan is no longer limited to textiles, but is used on non-woven mediums, such
as paper, plastics, packaging, and wall coverings.

SIBERIAN HUSKY
1. The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized working dog. It is very quick and graceful. They
have a compact (thick) and furry body. Their ears are pointed, and they have a bushy
tail. Their coats are usually a mix of white, black and grey.
2. Huskies show a balance of power, speed, and endurance, which means they can run
for a very long time. Males are usually thicker than the females. This means they are
used to traveling across snow and ice in places, such as Alaska and Russia. There are
even competitions featuring Husky races.
3. Siberian huskies are usually friendly and gentle. They love going outside and can stay
alert for long periods of time. They like to explore different places and are not
aggressive like other dogs. These qualities, with their intelligence, make Huskies a
popular pet.
4. Huskies are often used in TV, books and film. For example, because of the story of the
"Great Race of Mercy", dogs Balto and Togo became famous. They usually appear in
movies and cartoons featuring trips to icy and snowy places. An example includes the
beginning of the Simpsons movie.

MINING
1. Mining is the removal of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth
from an area. The product taken from the mines is called Ore. Ores recovered by
mining include metals, coal, oil shale, gemstones, limestone, dimension stone, rock
salt, potash, gravel, and clay.
2. Mining is needed to get any material that cannot be grown or created in a laboratory
or factory. Mining in a wider sense includes extraction of any non-renewable resource
such as petroleum, natural gas, or even water.
3. Mining of stones and metal has been a human activity since pre-historic times.
Modern mining processes involve studying areas to find out how much ore there is
available, and final use of the land after the mine is closed.
4. Mining operations usually create a negative environmental impact, both during the
mining activity and after the mine has closed. Therefore, most of the world's nations
have passed laws to decrease the impact. Worker safety has long been a concern as
well, and modern practices have significantly improved safety in mines.
5. Levels of metals recycling are generally low. Unless future recycling rates are
increased, some rare metals may become unavailable for consumer products. Due to
the low recycling rates, some landfills now contain higher concentrations of metal than
mines themselves.

3. Bengal tigers live in a jungle called the Sundarbans in Bangladesh and West Bengal in
India. They are also found in other south-east Asian countries.
4. They have orange fur with black stripes, and a white belly. The black stripes usually

meat a day. Tigers kill their prey by holding down on the prey’s throat. This means that
the prey cannot breathe.
7. Tigers are becoming very rare because people hunt them for their skin. There are only
3,500 Bengal tigers in the wild, and there are only 20 or 30 South-Chinese tigers
remaining.

1. The Arctic ocean is the ocean around the North Pole. During the winter it is covered in
ice and snow, and this remains during most of the summer.
2. The Ocean is about 14.056 million km2, which makes it the world’s smallest ocean. The
middle or central surface is covered by about 3 meters of ice. It also has around 45,389
kilometres of coastline(the areas which touch land). The average depth of the ocean is
1,038 feet, while the deepest point is 5,450 m at the Eurasian Basin.

can enter and move across it. An icebreaker or a nuclear-powered submarine can use
the Arctic Ocean to traverse the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
4. The Arctic Ocean has a polar climate. This means that the nights are cold, weather is
stable and the skies are usually clear. The average temperature is just above the
freezing point of sea water at -1.8 C. However recently, the temperature has risen
causing the ice to melt.
5. There are many animals which live in this region. Endangered animals include the
walrus and whales. In contrast, there are very few plant species including
Phytoplankon, which is very important to ocean life.

He received honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine and philosophy from
many European and American universities.
5. Near the beginning of World War II, he warned President Franklin D. Roosevelt that
Germany might be developing an atomic weapon. He recommended that the U.S.
begin nuclear weapons research. That research, begun by a newly established
Manhattan Project, resulted in the U.S. becoming the first and only country to have
nuclear weapons during the war.

MAKING A SPLASH
1. Today “aqua fitness”, as it is known, has seen exercising in the swimming pool
progressing from merely being an activity for the recovery of an injury. Aqua fitness
has become a valuable training aid even for professional athletes who use it to reduce
the risk of overtraining. However, that’s not to say that exercising in water isn’t ideal
for the rest of us too, from the young to the old, from the fit to those who do suffer
from complaints such as arthritis.
2. Exercising in water raises the heart rate less than land aerobics. Lydia Campbell, a
fitness expert, says there are no conclusive studies on why it has a less drastic effect
on your heart, but there are some factors that partly explain it. Lydia says, “Water is
supportive, as we all know, and with blood flowing more easily, there is less stress on
the heart”.
3. There are other benefits to working out in water such as the fact that your muscles are
less likely to ache the following day, the water has a massaging effect on the body, and
of course, there is always the possibility of getting a bit slimmer. It is generally
thought that an aqua fitness workout can use from 450 to 700 calories an hour. And
don’t forget, water is fun – exercising to music in water is a unique experience!
4. The reassuring element of exercising in water is that, apart from doing you good, it is
relatively difficult to do anything that is going to harm you.
5. As far as modesty is concerned, if you miss a step, carry a little more excess weight
than you feel comfortable with or just feel embarrased because you haven’t exercised
before, there is no need to be anxious as everything is hidden beneath the water level!
6. Getting used to moving in water takes a little time because of the gravity changes on
the body. Running in water will be easier if your body has lots of muscle, but don’t
worry about this not being the case, as the exercising in water will strengthen muscles
anayway. Soon you will be able to move more strongly through the pool.
7. Classes usually start with a warm-up aimed at stimulating and raising the body
temperature. Using the properties of water in an aqua workout can create an effective
training programme that might change some previous ideas about how easy exercising
in water is. Try running in shallow knee-deep water. It’s easy, but try running in thigh-
deep water and things suddenly get more difficult – chest-deep water is even harder,
as the water resistance increases.
A. You are unlikely to cause yourself an injury in water.

B. It is not as easy as it looks.
C. Aqua fitness can do more than simply help heal injuries.
D. You can lose weight ad enjoy yourself at the sametime.
E. You can strengthen your heart and muscles by training every day.
F. Your body will adapt to exercising in water.
G. Don’t worry about what you look like.
H. Exercise in water puts less pressure on the heart.
