READING COMPREHENSION 1

Queen of the Sky

Next autumn the biggest passenger plane in the world - the Airbus A380 - is going to make its first public flight.



The plane is enormous - it's nearly 35 metres high and 75 metres long. To give you a better idea of its size, try imagining ten buses placed on top of each other for nearly an entire football field (a field measures 90 metres)! The wings on the Airbus are long enough to park 70 cars on! There are also 500 kilometres of cables.

When it is full, the Airbus will carry 853 passengers - that's over 300 more than today's jumbo jets. Inside the plane there's going to be lots of space for people to relax and travel in comfort. There are also going to be cinemas, bars, shops, and even a gym with showers!

The new super-plane has Rolls Royce engines, which are very quiet, so it isn't going to cause as much noise pollution as ordinary planes.

The Airbus A380 is going to take holidaymakers between London Heathrow and Changi airport in Singapore.

1. Read the text and answer the questions.

a) Is the Airbus A380 big or small?b) Is the plane going to be comfortable for passengers? Why/ why not?

2. Read the text again and decide if the sentences are true or false.

a) The Airbus flights started last autumn.b) There is a football field on the plane.c) There are parking spaces in the plane.d) Jumbo jets carry more passengers than the airbus.e) People can watch films on the plane.f) The engines don't make much noise.

3. Vocabulary. Find the opposites of these words in the text.

a) smallestb) lastc) very smalld) emptye) outsidef) noisy

4. WRITING. Describe one trip you have enjoyed a lot


CLOCKS

Clocks are used to measure time. Clocks are used to show the time. Clocks are used so that people can agree on the

time.



People use clocks to measure units of time that are shorter than natural units. Natural units are the day, the month, and

the year. The sun rises at the beginning of each day. The moon is new at the beginning of each month. The sun appears

at the same place in the sky at the beginning of each year.

The clock is a very old invention. Sundials were used in ancient times. Sundials work by measuring shadows that are cast

by the sun.

Candle clocks were used a very long time ago. Candle clocks work by measuring the time it takes for the wax to melt.

Hourglasses are similar to candle clocks because they also measure the time it takes for something to happen.

Hourglasses work by measuring the time it takes for sand to pour through a small opening into a glass.

Mechanical clocks appeared in the 13th century in Europe. They work with a system of moving gears. The gears always

move at the same speed.

Pendulum clocks work with a swinging weight. The swinging weight is called a pendulum. The pendulum makes the clock

parts move.

Now people typically use mechanical clocks or digital clocks. Digital clocks show numbers on a screen. The numbers

represent the time.

Some people use auditory clocks. Auditory clocks use language to tell the time aloud.

Computers also use clocks. Computers use internal clocks in order to work properly.

In today’s world, clocks are everywhere –– in homes, schools, offices, and public places. Many people live their lives

according to the clock. People go to work and return home according to the clock. School days start and end according

to the clock. Airplanes take off and land according to the clock. It is fun to imagine a world without clocks!

1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is/are true?

A) The clock is people’s oldest invention.

THE WHITE HOUSE

The White House is the home and office of the President of the United States.

The White House is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.



The first president to live in the White House was John Adams. He moved into the White House in 1800. Now President

Barack Obama lives in the White House.

An architect named James Hoban made the plans for the White House. Hoban won a design contest held by Pierre

Charles L’Enfant. L’Enfant was the main architect for the capital city of Washington, D.C.

The White House was built between 1792 and 1800. It was built of limestone and painted white. During the War of 1812,

the British Army set fire to the White House. President 10 James Madison moved out while the house was rebuilt. In

1817, James Monroe moved into the White House.

At first, people called the building the “President’s Palace.” However, because kings and queens live in palaces,

“President’s Palace” was not a good name for the house. President Theodore Roosevelt gave the building the name it

has today – The White House.
