II. Read the following passage and do the tasks below. (1.25 pts)

Two of the most dangerous storms which affect America are hurricanes and tornadoes.
They are very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction.
Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives are lost. Most people who
live near the coast are forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the
storm passes. Floods are caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm tide that
is considerably above normal water level. The high winds, coastal flooding and heavy rains
associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage.
Hurricanes usually develop between July and October. Once they hit land they carry
tremendous power with driving rain and wind.
Tornadoes are violent low - pressured storms. These storms occur most often during the
summer months and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain. The sky turns black
as dust is sucked up into the air. Tornadoes are capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the
ground. They can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such
as homes and railway cars.
Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and
property every year. Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they
cannot be stopped or ignored.

AI. Listen to the conversation. Decide if the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
Circle T or F. (1.0pt)
All living things need water, but water pollution has become a serious problem. Polluted
water is unsafe for drinking and for other uses. Water pollution happens when wastes and
toxic substances make the water unsafe. There are two sources of water pollution, man made
and natural. Man made substances pollute water when they flow into the water from factories
and homes. Natural pollution occurs when rainwater with toxic chemicals flows into rivers or
lakes. These rivers and lakes are a source of drinking water for humans. Water pollution has
a harmful effect on our lives. But there are ways we can reduce water pollution. The first
thing we can do is to treat water from factories and households. We should also stop littering,
especially dumping waste into rivers and lakes. Finally, we can reduce water pollution by
using green products and avoiding single use products like plastic bags.
