Text 5. The following text is for questions 28-31
The first obvious advantage of air travel is that it is quick. You can fly from Europe to America in a
few hours, and with the introduction of supersonic planes, travelling time between continents is
getting shorter. It is very easy and comfortable to travel by plane; someone looks after your luggage
and all you have to do is to get on, sit down, relax and enjoy a meal or a film. Your comfortable seat
is reserved and there is excellent waitress service. Another point in favour of air travel is that it is
relatively cheap, especially for long-distance travel.
On the other hand, travelling by air has some disadvantages. Perhaps the most important is that (For
example) you fly directly to your destination and you have no feeling of travelling from one country
to another. Another disadvantage is that because air travel is so quick, people going long distances
non-stop often suffer from tiredness; so they save time travelling, but waste time recovering. It also
happens that passengers are often delayed by fog and other weather conditions.
Anyway, I think that the advantages of travelling by plane outweigh the disadvantages, mainly
when you have to travel long distances and want to save time.
28. It also happens that passengers are ....
In the sentence above, the underlined word can be omitted and correctly be replaced with....
A. Occured
B. Becomes
C. Takes place
D. Depends on
E. Suggests

29. What is the main idea of the text above?

A. Travelling by plane is the cheapest
B. Travelling by plane is often delayed by fog and unpredictable condition
C. The advantages of travelling by air are more than the disadvantages
D. An argument whether travelling by air is good or not for passengers
E. The advantages of travelling by air are less than the disadvantages

Making Organic Compost.
To grow beautiful flower or tasty vegetables, gardeners often put compost in their soil.
Compost is produced by allowing vegetable matter to decompose naturally.
How do you start?
First, the composts ingredients have to be collected. Any raw vegetable or plant material is
suitable, including leaves grass, vegetable peelings and fruit cores. To introduce helpful bacteria
into the compost, some garden soil is also mixed in.
Where do you put it?
Next, the compost mixture is put into a special composting bin, or piled up in the corner of
the garden. The compost is left alone for many months while nature does its work.
What turns it into compost?
Microbes, such as bacteria and fungi, soon begin to rot the vegetable material. As a side-effect,
natural warmth is produced in the compost. This, in turn, helps to speed up the process. Eventually,
natural decomposition transforms the waste vegetable material into soft brown compost.

The term lichen refers to any of over 20,000 species of thallophytic plants that (48) a symbiotic
association of algae and fungi, plural for alga and fungus. Previously, lichens were classified as
single organisms until scientists had the benefit of microscopes, at which time they discovered the
association between algae and fungi. Thus, the lichen itself is not an organism, but the
morphological and biochemical product of the association. (49) a fungus nor an alga alone can
produce a lichen. The intimate symbiotic relationship (50) these two living components of a lichen
is said to be mutualistic, meaning that both organisms benefit from the relationship. It is not certain
when fungi and algae came together to form lichens for the first time, but it certainly occurred after
the mature development of the separate components.
