8 Tattoo and Piercings

Tattoo and body-piercing are very popular in several countries. For example, in Korea,
body-piercing is done by popular singers and artists. They do that because they want to look
different and exceptional. But, tattooing for young people should be banned because tattoos
can affect their health and skin.
Many countries, including the U.S.A., urge that underage youngsters should not be
allowed to get piercings and tattoos. People feel differently about tattooing and piercing
because criminal groups, like gangsters, usually have tattoos. Some gangs indicate that they
are members of a group by getting a specially-shaped tattoo, so youth might be apt to join bad
circles.
From the facts above, it can be concluded that young people should not get piercings
and tattoos. They can’t get them without parental consent.

15 Totto-chan TheLittle Girl at the Window is a celebration of a childhood, learning and caring. Each
story is only a page or two, each a delightful narrative of how Totto-chan views the world, and how
Mr. Kuroyanagi inspires the children to explore, learn, feel and have joy. There are several charcoal
drawings that capture the tenderness of the stories, making us feel a part of Totto-chan’s world.
One of our favorite vignettes is the story of her losing her hat in the septic tank at the school, and
proceeds to dig it out. The headmaster walks by, and after a few questions to satisfy his curiosity,
and hearing her earnest explanations, he lets her continue with sample instruction, “make sure you
put it all back!”
It is probably one of the most important books I’ve ever read. Not for its heavy philosophy,
practical instruction, or memorable quotes; but for its simple message of how wonderful life can
be when viewed through the eyes of an innocent child.
We’ve enjoyed reading one or two stories for bedtime off-and-on for a couple of years, and almost
don’t want to finish the book because it will mean there are no more stories. Totto-chan seems so
real and loveable, and her headmaster is role model for parents and teachers.

Dear Mr. Treble:

I am writing this letter to inform you of my decision to resign from my position as security
guard for Curtain Fall Security Services. In keeping with the terms of my contract, please
consider this as a two weeks’ notice of my intention to leave. June 3, 2015 will be my last

both of which I am finding quite difficult to do.
I find myself hoping that I have returned the favor somewhat. I will be in touch with you

anything that you would like me to do in order to help you train my replacement.

26 Each tree species grows a certain way, and that affects the way its wood looks and performs.
Foresters divide trees into two categories: hardwood and softwood species.
Hardwood trees such as oaks and maples have wood with very short fibers. Paper made from
these species is weaker than that made from softwoods, but its surface is smoother, and therefore
better to write and print on.
Softwood trees such as pine and spruce have wood with long fibers, and paper made from this
type of wood is much stronger. This paper is ideal for making products like shipping containers that
require superior strength. But the finish is rougher, and that’s not as good for writing, printing and many
other uses.
Happily, we can blend fiber from hardwoods and softwoods into a single paper, getting just the
combination of strength, whiteness, writing surface and other characteristics that we want.
And that’s just what we do! Most of the paper you see today is made from both hardwoods and
softwoods, a special blend for each purpose.
We make newsprint to be opaque (that means difficult to see through) - so you only see the
newspaper’s comics, not the stock market report on the other side!
We make grocery bag paper strong, tissue soft, fine writing paper smooth. Even within the same
 category, there’s quite a range. Among printing papers, for example, compare the thin sheets of a Bible
to the thick, tough pages of a kid’s picture book.
The basic recipe - wood, water and energy - is adjusted to make just the paper that’s needed.
First, workers harvest trees, mostly from special tree-growing areas called tree farms. After the trees
are removed, more trees are planted in their place. While they are growing, the young trees produce lots
of oxygen, and provide great habitat for deer, quail, turkeys and other wildlife.
The logs are transported to the paper company where they get a bath to rinse away dirt and other
impurities before being turned into small chips of wood. The chips are then sorted according to size, and
moved to the pulping operation, where they will be turned into pulp for making paper.
In the pulping stage, the individual wood fibers in the chips must be separated from one another.
This can be accomplished using one or more pulping techniques. The type of paper that’s being made
determines the pulping process that is used. The finished pulp looks like a mushy, watery solution. But if
you look at it under a microscope, you will see that the individual wood fibers have all been separated.
Now it’s time to make paper out of our pulp. That mainly means getting the water out of the wood-
fiber soup, since this papermaking stock is about 99% water. The first area in which this takes place is
called the wet end of the papermaking machine.
First, papermakers spray the stock onto a long, wide screen, called a wire. Immediately, water
begins to drain out the bottom of the wire. This water is collected so that it can be reused over and over
again. Meanwhile, the pulp fibers are caught on the top side of the wire, and begin to bond together in a
very thin mat. The fiber mat remaining on the wire is then squeezed between felt-covered press rollers to
absorb more of the water.
Even when this wet end work is over, the pulpy stuff on the wire is still about 60% water. But now it’s
time for the dry end.
In the dry end, huge metal cylinders are heated by filling them with steam. The wet paper, which can
be up to 30 feet wide, passes through these hot rollers - sometimes dozens of them, and often in three to
five groups. Heating and drying the wet sheet seals the fibers closer and closer together, turning them
gradually from pulp into paper.
When you look at a piece of paper, can you find any difference in thickness in that single sheet?
Probably not, thanks to a part of the paper machine called the calender - big, heavy cast iron rollers that
press the drying paper smooth and uniform in thickness.
Sometimes the paper is coated, often with fine clay, to make it glossier and easier to print on.
A bit more drying, then rolled onto a big spool or reel, the pulp - a miraculous mat of fibers from
trees - has become paper, ready for a thousand uses.

What is the passage about?________________

A. The description of paper making

C. The explanation of how to make paper

D. The discussion of correct paper making

E. The steps before and after making the paper

27 Each tree species grows a certain way, and that affects the way its wood looks and performs.
Foresters divide trees into two categories: hardwood and softwood species.
Hardwood trees such as oaks and maples have wood with very short fibers. Paper made from
these species is weaker than that made from softwoods, but its surface is smoother, and therefore
better to write and print on.
Softwood trees such as pine and spruce have wood with long fibers, and paper made from this
type of wood is much stronger. This paper is ideal for making products like shipping containers that
require superior strength. But the finish is rougher, and that’s not as good for writing, printing and many
other uses.
Happily, we can blend fiber from hardwoods and softwoods into a single paper, getting just the
combination of strength, whiteness, writing surface and other characteristics that we want.
And that’s just what we do! Most of the paper you see today is made from both hardwoods and
softwoods, a special blend for each purpose.

30 To many, it may seem that the lobster’s most natural habitat is on a large, oval plate between a
cup of drawn butter and a lemon wedge.
In fact, only a few of the hundreds of types of lobster are caught commercially. But those few
species are some of the most heavily harvested creatures in the sea, and generate a multi-billion-
dollar industry, with more than 200,000 tons (181,436 metric tons) of annual global catch.
The lobsters that most people know from their dinner plates are the American and European
clawed lobsters Homarus americanus and Homarus gammarus. These are cold water species that
live on either sides of the northern Atlantic Ocean. There are also tropical lobsters that are widely
consumed, but these are generally clawless varieties called spiny and slipper lobsters.
Lobsters are ten-legged crustaceans closely related to shrimp and crabs. These benthic, or
bottom-dwelling, creatures are found in all of the world’s oceans, as well as brackish environments
and even freshwater. They have poor eyesight but highly developed senses of taste and smell. They
feed primarily on fish and mollusks, but will consume algae and other plant life and even other
lobsters.
Female lobsters carry their eggs under their abdomens for up to a year before releasing them as
larvae into the water. The larvae go through several stages in the water column before settling on the
bottom, where they spend the rest of their lives. They generally prefer to live in self-dug burrows, in
rocky crevices, or hidden among sea grasses. Lobsters must shed their shells in order to grow, and
some species can live to be 50 years old or more, growing continually throughout their lives.
Lobsters have not always been considered chic eats. In 17th- and 18th- century America, they
were so abundant in the northeast that they were often used as fertilizer. Laws were even passed
forbidding people to feed servants lobster more than twice a week. However, improvements in U.S.
transportation infrastructure in the 19th and 20th century brought fresh lobster to distant urban areas,
and its reputation as a delicacy grew.
Populations of commercially important lobster species are thought to be declining, and
overfishing, particularly of clawed lobsters in Europe, is taking a toll. Additionally, pollution is causing
shell rot and other illnesses in normally disease-resistant species.

U.S.), American computer programmer who was cofounder and CEO (2004- ) of Facebook, a social
networking Web site.
O
After attending Phillips Exeter Academy, Zuckerberg enrolled at Harvard University in 2002. On
February 4, 2004, he launched thefacebook.com (renamed Facebook in 2005), a directory in which fellow
Harvard students entered their own information and photos into a template that he had devised. Within
two weeks half of the student body had signed up. Zuckerberg’s roommates, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris
Hughes, helped him add features and make the site available to other campuses across the country.
Facebook quickly became popular as registered users could create profiles, upload photos and other
media, and keep in touch with friends. It differed from other social networking sites, however, in its
emphasis on real names (and e-mail addresses), or “trusted connections.” It also laid particular emphasis
on networking, with information disseminated not only to each individual’s network of friends but also to
friends of friends—what Zuckerberg called the “social graph.”
In the summer of 2004 the trio moved their headquarters to Palo Alto, California, where
Zuckerberg talked venture capitalist Peter Thiel into giving them seed money. Zuckerberg dropped
out of Harvard to concentrate on the fledgling company, of which he became CEO and president. In
May 2005 Facebook received its first major infusion of venture capital ($12.7 million). Four months
later Facebook opened to registration by high-school students. Meanwhile, foreign colleges and
universities also began to sign up, and by September 2006 anyone with an e-mail address could join
a regional network based on where he or she lived. About that time Zuckerberg turned down a $1
billion buyout offer from Yahoo!, but in 2007 Facebook struck a deal with Microsoft in which the
software company paid $240 million for a 1.6 percent stake in Facebook; two years later Digital Sky
Technologies purchased a 1.96 percent share for $200 million. In 2008 Zuckerberg’s new worth was
estimated at about $1.5 billion. After Facebook’s initial public offering (IPO) of stock in 2012,
Zuckerberg’s net worth was estimated at more than $19 billion.

Hughes, helped him add features and make the site available to other campuses across the country.
Facebook quickly became popular as registered users could create profiles, upload photos and other
media, and keep in touch with friends. It differed from other social networking sites, however, in its
emphasis on real names (and e-mail addresses), or “trusted connections.” It also laid particular emphasis
on networking, with information disseminated not only to each individual’s network of friends but also to
friends of friends—what Zuckerberg called the “social graph.”
In the summer of 2004 the trio moved their headquarters to Palo Alto, California, where
Zuckerberg talked venture capitalist Peter Thiel into giving them seed money. Zuckerberg dropped
out of Harvard to concentrate on the fledgling company, of which he became CEO and president. In
May 2005 Facebook received its first major infusion of venture capital ($12.7 million). Four months
later Facebook opened to registration by high-school students. Meanwhile, foreign colleges and
universities also began to sign up, and by September 2006 anyone with an e-mail address could join
a regional network based on where he or she lived. About that time Zuckerberg turned down a $1
 billion buyout offer from Yahoo!, but in 2007 Facebook struck a deal with Microsoft in which the
software company paid $240 million for a 1.6 percent stake in Facebook; two years later Digital Sky
Technologies purchased a 1.96 percent share for $200 million. In 2008 Zuckerberg’s new worth was
estimated at about $1.5 billion. After Facebook’s initial public offering (IPO) of stock in 2012,
Zuckerberg’s net worth was estimated at more than $19 billion.
