The elephant is the heaviest animal to walk on Earth. An elephant could bear loading of 1200 pounds. They consume
300 pounds of food a day. An elephant infant could weigh 200 pounds at birth. Elephants could live up to 70 years. Elephants
can be coached to bear logs with their trunks, and have been habituated in the forestry industry for numerous years. Elephants
also use their trunks for water intake, bathing, food consumption and communication. Newly it was ascertained that elephants
can intercommunicate over an outdistance of numerous miles applying unhearable sounds to humans. Elephants apply their
ears as a cooling down arrangement. Blood courses through veins in the ears and as the elephant wave his ears, the blood cools
off and courses through the body to cool off other parts. Elephant feet are bombastic and round in shape. They administer the

Indian elephant matures up to 9 feet tall and weighs up to 8000 pounds. It’s lighter to describe because of its little ears. Most
circus elephants are Indian elephants. A different name for the Indian elephant is the Asian elephant. Regrettably, there is an

A marathon is a popular long distance road race, which requires a lot of effort to complete. Marathon runners cover a
very long distance-26 miles and 385 yards-more than 42 kilometres! The word marathon has its roots in ancient history, as it
gets its name from a coastal town in Greece.
On the 12th September, 490 BC, an important battle took place at Marathon between the Athenian Army and Persian
invaders. The invading army were defeated, and an Athenian general sent a Greek runner to Athens to announce the news of
the victory.
The town was about forty kilometers away from Athens. The man ran to Athens as fast as his legs could carry him. He
passed on the message, before collapsing with exhaustion and dropping to the ground, dead.
A men's marathon of around forty kilometers was included in the first modern Olympic Games, which was held in
1896 in Athens, Greece, although a women's marathon event was not officially included in the program until the Los Angeles
Olympics in 1984.
The marathon continues to be a very popular sport and over five hundred marathons take place every year, worldwide.
Half-marathons of around twenty-two kilometers are also very popular, as are mini-marathons (sometimes known as “fun-
runs") which typically cover a much shorter distance.
( ) 14. The words marathon gets its name from .
(A) a place (B) a famous person (C) an ancient festival (D) a modern city
( ) 15. Both amateur and professional compete in fun-runs.
(A) true (B) false (C) we don’t know (D) none of the above
( ) 16. Thousands of marathon races take place annualy around the world.
(A) true (B) false (C) we don’t know (D) none of the above
( ) 17. Mini marathons are more popular than half marathons.
(A) true (B) false (C) we don’t know (D) none of the above
( ) 18. Women competed in the first modern Olympic games.
(A) true (B) false (C) we don’t know (D) none of the above

Everyone has a favorite attraction at an amusement park, and I am no different. However, unlike most people who seem
to prefer rollercoasters, my favorite ride is a little more gentle. Every time I go to Coney Island, Navy Pier, or the Santa Monica
Pier, I absolutely have to ride the Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel is simple and yet also quite complex. That is, riding it is easy,
but how it works is complicated. A series of carts are attached to a wheel, which is attached to a rim. That rim rotates vertically
around an axis, and gravity keeps the carts upright. As simple as the ride seems, only advanced engineers can make safe and fun
Ferris wheels. What It Lacks in Thrills… While the Ferris wheel is not as thrilling as a rollercoaster, it is still very exciting. The
fact of being high in the air makes it so much more entertaining than a lot of rides. I mean, how often do you hang from that high
up in daily life? Nevertheless, I have to admit, I don’t seek Ferris wheels out because of their excitement. Rather, I find them
very relaxing. At the top of the Ferris wheel, you get beautiful sights of the park. You also get a sense of calm that you don’t get
in the hustle and bustle of the park below. Additionally, Ferris wheels are also gorgeous to look at when they are lit up at night.
In fact, the original Ferris wheel was designed as much to be seen as to be ridden. It Happened at the World’s Fair The first Ferris
wheel was made by and named after George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. He designed it for the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. It
was the tallest attraction there, standing 264 feet high. However, visitors to the fair were impressed by the size of the ride as well
as the mechanics of it. In 1893, anything that was not turned by hand was considered a sight to see. And the wheel, which was a
machine, was truly incredible to see. Further, as one visitor put it, the wheel was amazing because it seemed to be missing support.

That is, it did not look like it could stand on its own. And yet it did and even rotated! They Keep Reaching Higher and Higher
Ferris wheel technology has only improved since then. Most of today’s Ferris wheels are much larger than that first one. The
largest in the world is the "Singapore Flyer," which stands slightly taller than twice what Ferris’s did! Today, the Ferris wheel is
the most common amusement park ride. But that does not mean you should take them for granted. Instead, be thankful for Ferris’
invention. The next time you’re at an amusement park, don’t just look up at the impressive wheel in the sky on your way to a
newer attraction. Take it for a spin!
( ) 19. As used in paragraph 1, the word attraction most nearly means
(A) sense (B) park (C) ride (D) vision

(A) the impressive engineering and beauty of them

( ) 23. According to the passage, the Ferris wheel was originally designed for
