VI I- Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question from the four choices (A or B,C,D).
Sequoyah was a young Cherokee Indian, son of a white trader and an Indian squaw. At an early age, he
became fascinated by “the talking leaf” an expression that he used to describe the white man’s written records.
Although many believed this “talking leaf” to be a gift from the Great Spirit, Sequoyah refused to accept that
theory. Like other Indians of the period, he was illiterate, but his determination to remedy the situation led to the
invention of a unique eighty-six-character alphabet based on the sound patterns that he heard.
His family and friends thought him mad, but while recuperating from a hunting accident, he diligently and
independently set out to create a form of communication for his own people as well as for other Indians. In 1821,
after twelve years of work, he had successfully developed a written language that would enable thousands of
Indians to read and write.
Sequoyah’s desire to preserve words and events for later generations has caused him to be remembered
among the important inventors. The giant redwood trees of California, called “sequoias” in his honor, will further
imprint his name in history.

B. They thought he was crazy.
C. They decided to help him.
D. They asked him to teach them to read and write.
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Sequoyah’s Determination to Preserve the Cherokee Language
B. The Origin of the Cherokee Language
C. Sequoyah’s madness Leads to a New Language

H
I was right it was an incredible sight.
A Natural Wonder
When I was asked to visit and write about the Great Barrier Reef, I was thrilled.
I had heard reports of damage done by tourism and other industries, but felt that the
Reef would still be a wonderful place to see.
From the air, the Great Barrier Reef seems huge.
I wasn’t sure
how best to explore such a giant place, so after I had landed, I made enquiries and was
told the best way to see the Reef is to take a dive cruise. I booked a place on a threeday cruise, and, despite warnings about the state of some of these boats, the boat I was
on was comfortable and clean.
I was entitled to eight dives plus use of
wet suit, flippers and other equipment, three meals a day and two nights’
accommodation.
Although I have been diving before, I am not an experienced diver.
I
was nervous to begin with, but soon felt completely safe. We were divided into
groups according to our ability and each group was given an instructor. They had
very strict rules
.
With our guides, we saw some amazing sea life including small sharks, crabs
and thousands of colourful tropical fish swimming around in the coral. The other
divers were friendly and the evenings on board were very pleasant.
While I was at the Great Barrier Reef, it became perfectly clear from the
conservation programmes I came across, that the damage I had heard about had been
done.
Environmental groups have done much to stop this damage, but
sadly it continues.
Despite this, the Great Barrier Reef is a wonderful place to go. For me at least it
is one of the most significant natural wonders our earth has to offer.

III. Read the passage then answer the questions.
Christmas is almost here. Holiday music fills the air. Colorful lights shine brightly in windows. The stores
are crowded with people buying last-minute gifts. All these are christmas traditions. Another tradition is
snow. Christmas in the northern part of the world comes a few days after the start of winter. So, in many
places, a blanket of clean white snow covers the ground on christmas day. This is what is meant by a
white christmas.
Of course, many places do not get snow in December. In fact, they may be very warm at that time of
year. People who like snow- but live where it is warm-dream of having a white christmas. American
songwriter Irving Berlin captured these feelings in his song White Christmas. White christmas is one of
the most popular songs of all times. Hundreds of singers and musicians have recorded it. Erhaps the most
famous version was sung by Bing Crosby. Songwriter Irving Berlin was Jewish. He did not celebrate
christmas as a religion holiday. But in his christmas song, he shared a massage of peace and happiness
which all people can joy.
So from all of us-to all of you – we wish the happiest and most joyful holiday.
