The cactus is a plant which grows in very hot, dry places. They do not have leaves. Instead,
they have spiny needles which stick out of their stems. There are many shapes of the cactus.
Some are small and round. Others are tall like columns or pillars. Some are shaped like tubes
or bells. Some are shaped like wheels. Some grow as trees or shrubs. Others grow as ground
cover. Cactus flowers are big, and some of them bloom at night. Their flowers come out at
night because they are pollinated by insects or small animals that come out at night. Insects and
small animals carry pollen from one cactus to another.
Most cacti live in North and South America. Others live in Africa, Madagascar, and Sri
Lanka.
Cacti do not have very large leaves because large leaves would allow the water to evaporate.
When water evaporates, it changes from a liquid to a gas. When it becomes a gas, it is light
enough to move through the air. That would be bad for the cactus because the cactus needs the
water to live.
Some cacti have waxy coatings on their stems, so that water will run down the stem to the
roots.
Cacti can absorb water from fog in the air, since it does not rain very much in the desert. Most
cacti have long roots which can spread out close to the surface so they can absorb a lot of water
on the occasions when it rains.

In the jungle, once there was a fierce lion who killed many animals. The survivors decided
that if they were not to suffer the same fate something must be done. The king of the jungle would
have to make do with one meal a day. In return to save him the effort of hunting, each days victim
would come to the lion of his own accord.

lion, gasping as if he has just run a long way.
On my way here, he said,I was attacked by a lion. If I can not run fast, I would never have
escaped.
Another lion? The king of the jungle roared angrily at very idea of a rival. Where is he?
At the pool. He is big and young, stronger and braver than you.
Well see about that. Take me to him.
So the lion followed the hare to the pool and there, as he leaned over the edge, he saw
another lion in the water below. He attacked it immediately. And that was how an old hare beated

When I was a boy, I liked swimming very much. One year my two brothers and I spent the
summer holidays with my uncle and aunt in their house by the sea. It was only twenty yards from
the water. Every day we put on our swimming-shorts before breakfast, ran down to sea across the
sand and jumped in. From then until late at night, we were in the sea or on the beach most of the
time. When my aunt rang a bell, we went back to the house for food, but we ate it in our
swimming-shorts and were soon back in the sea again.

rough.
Three times during our holidays we had strong winds. They blew the sand against our legs

A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone, cell phone and a hand phone) is a device
that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic
area. It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing
access to the public telephone network. By contrast, a cordless telephone is used only within the
short range of a single, private base station.
In addition to telephony, modern mobile phones also support a wide variety of other
services such as text messaging, MMS, email, internet access, short-range wireless communications
(infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, gaming and photography. Mobile phones that offer
these and more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.
The first hand-held mobile phone was demonstrated by John F. Mitchell and Dr Martin
Cooper of Motorola in 1973, using a handset weighing around 2.2 pounds (1 kg). In 1983, the
DynaTAC 8000x was the first to be commercially available. From 1990 to 2011, worldwide mobile
phone subscriptions grew from 12.4 million to over 6 billion, penetrating about 87% of the global
population and reaching the bottom of the economic pyramid.
