Question 55. . If she (want) __wants__ to follow the traditional recipe,
she should not put curry powder in that dish.

Read the following passage and do the tasks below:

Alaska is the largest and the least populated state of the USA. It was
sold to the United States by Russia in 1867 for 7.2 million dollars, but it
didn’t actually become a state until 1959. Alaska is famous for its
breathtaking landscapes, wooded mountains and enormous lakes.
Alaska is home to some fascinating wildlife, from the humpback whale
to the grizzly bear.
It is the humpback whales which attract many eco-tourists, who can
take whale-watching tours along the Alaskan coast. While the best way
to see and experience these enormous creatures is to take a whale-
watching boat tour, they sometimes can be seen from shore locations,
ferries and from cruise ships. All it takes is a little luck and good
eyesight!
Hiking is also a very popular tourist activity, but hikers must be aware
of the potential dangers they might encounter along the walking
trails. Grizzly bears are one of these. Ideally, bears should be avoided.
If you do come across one, you shouldn’t try and run away, as you will
be chased. Instead, let the bear know you are human. Talk to the bear
in a normal voice and wave your arms to help it recognise you. If the
bear stands up on its back legs, it is usually just curious, not
threatening. In fact, more people have been killed by dogs in the last
80 years than by bears.
