LEVEL 2 The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of waste. Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oilwhale and coal tars. But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also being tested. Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from strems and rivers. Fifty years ago hydroelectric power providedone third of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only four percent. The oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean currents, tides and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy. 1. Which is the best title for the passage? (a) The use of water products for energy (b) The search for alternative sources of energy (c) Efficient ways of disposing of waste (d) New discoveries on geothermal power 2. 50 years ago one third of the electricity in the United States was provided by (a) wind (b) waste products (c) water (d) oil 3.
In 2nd paragraph, the phrase “synthetic fuels” could best be replaced by which of the following (a) Biological fuels (b) Low burning fuels (c) Fast burning fuels (d) Artificially made fuels

LEVEL 3 Every word on a label desribing a food, a drug, a cosmetic, or a medical device is important in protecting you and family from buying an inferior product, from misusing a good one, from being tricked by dangerous quackerly, or from unknowingly possessing an item harmful to health. First of all, the label on a can or package of food must be completely truthful. If a loaf of bread is made with soy flour, the loaf cannot be labeled as white bread. A label must not be misleading. This restriction is somewhat vague and therefore cannot prevent all violations. Although the government tries to eliminate all misleading labels, the consumer must nevertheless be always on guard. Just because a can of sardines has a fancy-sounding foreign name, don’t take for granted that the fish were imported. It is the law, too, that manufacturers must list their names and places of business on their labels. Manufacturers must use common names in identifying their products so that anyone can readily understand what he is buying. Synthetic foods must be prominently labeled as artificial. Foods composed of two or more ingredients must bear labels listing all ingredients in the order of predominance. 1. According to the article, the main purpose of a label is to…. (a) attract the consumer (b) protect the consumer (c) list the ingredients (d) protect the manufacturer 2. Careful reading of the label will prevent….. (a) misuse of a product (b) buying an inferior product (c) buying a harmful substance (d) a,b and c 3. The author suggests that….. (a) some labels are misleading in sprite of government inspection (b) all labels are misleading (c) most labels are vague (d) the government does nothing about misleading labels 4. A foreign name on a label………. (a) is never misleading (b) always indicates that product is an import (c) may lead one to believe that the product is an import (d) is never completely truthful 5. The most important ingredient in a product must be listed…. (a) First (b) Last (c) In the middle (d) As artificial
