THE BIRDS, THE BEASTS, AND THE BATS

Once upon the time, somewhere in the deep of the jungle, The Birds and the Beasts declared war against each other. No compromise was possible, and so they went at it tooth and claw. It is said the quarrel grew out of the persecution the race of Geese suffered at the teeth of the Fox family. The Beasts, too, had cause for fight. The Eagle was constantly pouncing on the Hare, and the Owl dined daily on Mice. It was a terrible battle. Many a Hare and many a Mouse died. Chickens and Geese fell by the score—and the victor always stopped for a feast. Meanwhile the Bat family had not openly joined either side. They were a very politic race. So when they saw the Birds getting the better of it, they were Birds for all there was in it. But when the tide of battle turned, they immediately sided with the Beasts. When the battle was over, the conduct of the Bats was discussed at the peace conference. Such deceit was unpardonable, and Birds and Beasts made common cause to drive out the Bats. And since then the Bat family hides in dark towers and deserted ruins, flying out only in the night.

Text for questions number 23 to 26.

Last week my friend and I were bored after three weeks of holidays, so we rode our bikes to Smith Beach, which is only five kilometers from where I live. When we arrived at the beach, we were surprised to see there was hardly anyone there.

After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was really cold, we realized one reason there were not many people there. It was also quite windy. After we bought some hot chips at the take away store nearby, we rode our bikes down the beach for a while, on the hard, damp part of the sand. We had the wind behind us and, before we knew it, we were many miles down the beach.

Before we made the long trip back, we decided to paddle our feet in the water for a while, and then sit down for a rest. While we were sitting on the beach, just chatting, it suddenly dawned on us that all the way back, we would be riding into the strong wind.

How to Operate a Washing Machine

You need to follow these instructions to wash your clothes:

1.   Add your dirty clothes and detergent to the drum of the machine.

2.   Fill the drum with water at the temperature you require, but first consult the machine’s instructions, because these will tell you how much water to add.

3.   Perform the ‘Wash’ cycle – bear in mind a large load will need more time to wash than a smaller one.

4.   Once the ‘Wash’ cycle has finished, drain the dirty water using the hose. Refill the drum with fresh water.  Switch on the ‘Rinse’ cycle.

5.   After the ‘Rinse’ cycle your clothes should be completely clean. You now need to get the clothes as dry as possible by spinning them. Now you need to transfer your clothes from the washing drum into the other drum – the size of the load will determine how long you need to spin them for.

            Lightning is a sudden, violent flash of electricity between a cloud and the ground, or from cloud to cloud.

            A lightning flash, or bolt, can be several miles long. It is so hot, with an average temperature of 34,000° Centigrade that makes the air around it suddenly expand with a loud blast. This is the thunder we hear. Lightning occurs in hot, wet storms. Moist air is driven up to great height. It forms a type of cloud called cumolo nimbus. When the cloud rises high enough, the moisture freezes. And then ice crystals and snowflakes are formed. These begin to fall, turning to rain on the way down. This rain meets more moist air rising, and it is the friction between them which produces static electricity. When a cloud is fully charged with this electricity, it discharges as a lighting flash.
