A grlizzly bear killed a 57-year old man hiking in Yellowstone National Park with his wife Wednesday. It’s the

population is over 1.000. While the attack is the first fatal mauling in the park since 1986,it’s the third in the region

The following text is for questions 25 to 27.
BAYLESA STATE: The price f oil has risen than one hundred twenty dollars a barrel,some expert say the most
recent price increase is only the beginning,they have predicted that oil could reach two hundred dollars a barrel
Unrest oil producing countries has been partly to blame.Last weekend,a rebel group in Nigeria said it attacked
an oil center in Baylesa State. Nigeria is the eight biggest oil exporters in the world.
Also Iraq is slowly rebuilding its oil production ability. Iraq’s industry minister says the countries oil production
is currentky at about two million barrels of oil a day. He says that could increase to five million barrels a days in
three days depending on how much foreign help Iraq receives.
The Venezuelan Government’s efforts to control its oil industry have increased tensions with foreign oil
producers. And Russia,The world’s second largest exporter,has also sought to increase government control of its
energy recources. Nationalization of oil resources often forces out oreign investment that would normally seek to
increase supplies.
Another cause of high oil prices is the weak American dollar. Oil is traded in dollars. So a less valuable dollar
buys less oil. But experts have notes that the week dollar alone cannot explain the increase of about eight five
percent in the price of oil over the last year.
They organization of petroleum exporting countries is the world largest oil producing group. It says its member
nations not including Iraq, are investing one hundred twenty billion dollars in over one hundred new oil projects.
OPEC says its produces forty five percent of the words oil export.
In the post, non OPEC producer like Russia,Mexico,and Norway have increase production to meet demand. But
these nations have struggled to keep productions at the level of recent year. Norway’s production for example,has
decreased by twenty five percent since two thousand one.
The expanding economies of ASIA,especially China and India have increase pressure on world supplies.
Meeting demand appears to be harder than ever before.

yummy none. The branches of the trees that used to whisper and rustle had become bare,brown bones and the

Seasons come to us regularly. We have probably noticed that it gets warmer in summer or dry season while it
gets colder in the winter or wet season. However do we know how these seasons change?
Seasons happen and change every year. This happens because the earth tilts back and forth as it goes around
the sun. During the summer,the earth tilts toward the sun. It makes half of the earth hotter. This condition is what
we call summer. During the other half of the year,the earth tilts away from the suns. As a resut,it makes that half
of the earth cooler. This cool condition is then what we call winter.
The different parts of the world have the same season at different times. In the northern half of the world,winter
happens durng the months of December,January,February. The regions are such North America and Europe. In the
other hand, the southern half of the world have winter during months of June,July,August. The regions are like
South America and Australia. How does this difference happen? The same season happens at different times

The following text is for questions 38 to 40
Drug users are actually ill people who need to be helped. Rehabilitation is one of the ain things that they should
get. Instead of punishing and stacking them in prisons which are getting full,the government should provide
rehabilitation for them. Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the
drugs.Therefore,by rehabilitating them,we are actually helping them out of a trap,which they might accidentally
step on. They then,can start a normal life again.
Furthermore,if we only arrest drug users and send them to jail it doesn’t solve the problem because the drug
users will still be addicts unless being properly treated. Jaild will be filled up with drug users. Moreover, the users
will still be users after released from the prison. They then,will be arrested again.
By providing rehabilitating programmes for drug users and forcing them to participate on the programmes is
a better way tan only arresting them and do nothing on their illness.
Moreover,the prison will not be so full and packed up with users. Only drug dealers,traffickers,and
wholesalers should be imprisoned instead.

Working and going to school is challenging,it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight.
However,you’d better think a hundred times before you decde to take a part tie job. There are a lot of things that
should be considered to take a part time job.
Working and still maintaining a good grade at school is not an easy task. Having less time for schoolwok
becomes the main negative effect. Consequently,many students who work part time fail to perform at their best
both on schoolwork and on examinations. Moreover,a part-time job can eally interfere with the students’ free
time. It also cuts into their studies or social life.

valuable part of a student’s life. Students can derive a great deal from working. In most cases,they can acquire a
nice dose of discipline and a whole new set of skills and experiences. Another benefit of part time work is
opportunity to expand the resume. Ideally,a student should try to find a job that is related in some way to his or
her selected field of study. But if not, a student can still gain some work experience and develop his or her skills.
Working takes a lot of time and energy, so student need to make sure to be able to handle both employment
and their current commitments. Finally,if you are considering working part time,talk to your school counsellor to
discuss this move. Explaining your goals to someone else can help you make decisions and figure out your
priorities.
