PART D. READING 
I. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer for each question.
Most people think of deserts as dry, flat areas with little vegetation and little or no rainfall, but this is hardly true. Many deserts have varied geographical formations ranging from soft, rolling hills to stark, jagged cliffs, and most deserts have a permanent source of water. Although deserts do not receive a high amount of rainfall- to be classified as a desert, an area must get less than twenty-five centimeters of rainfall per year- there are many plants that thrive on only small amounts of water, and deserts are often full of such plant life.
Desert plants have a variety of mechanisms for obtaining the water needed for survival. Some plants, such as cactus, are able to store large amounts of water in their leaves or stems; after a rainfall, these plants absorb a large supply of water to last until the next rainfall. Other plants, such as the mesquite, have extraordinarily deep root systems that allow them to obtain water from far below the desert’s arid surface.

2. The passage describes the geography of deserts as _________.

A. suffer	B. grow well	C. minimally survive	 D. decay
5. Which of the following statement is TRUE about cacti?
A. They have deep root systems.	
B. They retain water from one rainfall to the next.
C. They survive in the desert because they do not need water.
D. They get water from deep below the surface of the desert.

II. Read the text and the questions below. Choose the correct answer A, B, C or D.
During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often seem to dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school. This is a normal development at this age, though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school work and future plant but should not push them to talk if they don't want to. Parents should also watch for the danger signs: some young people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol, or smoking. Parents need to watch for any signs of unusual behavior which may be connected with these and get help if necessary.
