Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions. 
 	Although bear-like, koalas are not bears. They are mammals, so feed their young milk and are marsupials, which means that their babies are born immature and they develop further in the safety of a pouch. They are tree-dwelling, herbivorous marsupials, which average about 9kg in weight and live on gum leaves. Their fur is thick and usually ash grey with a tinge of brown in places. Koalas in the southern parts of Australia are considerably larger and have thicker fur than those in the north. This is thought to be an adaptation to keep them warm in the colder southern winters.
Younger breeding females usually give birth to one joey each year, depending on a range of factors. The joey stays in its mother’s pouch for about 6 or 7 months, drinking only milk. After venturing out of the pouch, the joey rides on its mother’s abdomen or back, although it continues to return to her pouch for milk until it is too big to fit inside. The joey leaves its mother’s home range between 1 and 3 years old, depending on when the mother has her next joey.
Koalas are mostly nocturnal. They sleep for part of the night and also sometimes move about in the daytime. They often sleep for up to 18-20 hours each day. There is a myth that koalas sleep a lot because they ‘get drunk’ on gum leaves. However, most of their time is spent sleeping because it requires a lot of energy to digest their toxic, fibrous, low-nutrition diet and sleeping is the best way to conserve energy.
The koala gets its name from an ancient Aboriginal word meaning “no drink” because it receives over 90% of its hydration from the eucalyptus leaves (also known as gum leaves) it eats, and only drinks when ill or times when there is not enough moisture in the leaves i.e. during droughts, etc.
Question 39. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
	A. The Origin Of The Koala’s Name	B. Koalas Are Mammals, Not Bears
	C. The Real Story About Koalas	D. Koalas’ Breeding
Question 40. According to paragraph 2, how do younger mother koalas usually breed?
	A. They don’t give birth until the females reach 6 or 7 months.
	B. They give birth to one offspring annually.
	C. They give birth to one joey biannually.
	D. They don’t breed during the day.
Question 41. The word it in the passage refers to ______.
	A. back	B. a pouch	C. a joey	D. a mother
Question 42. The word nocturnal in the passage is ______.
	A. active at night	B. sleepy at night 	C. awake at daytime	D. sleepy all day and night
Question 43. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
	A. Koalas spend up to twenty hours sleeping each day.
	B. Koalas do not drink water normally.
	C. Koalas are herbivorous and tree-dwelling.
	D. Koalas drink a lot of water during the meals in order to digest gum leaves.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions. 
It is not surprising that the birthplace of cola was the hot and humid American South. This region had long specialized in creating delicious soft drinks. A druggist in Atlanta, Georgia named John Pemberton created the most well-known drink brand in the world in the 1880s. However, it seems clear that he had no idea how big it would become. 
Like many American pharmacists of the day, Pemberton was opposed to the drinking of alcohol and wanted to produce a stimulating soft drink. First, he made "the French Wine of Coca," made from the coca leaf. Then he began to experiment with the cola nut. Eventually, he managed to make a combination of the two that he thought was sweet, but not too sweet. Deciding that "the two C's would look well in advertising," he named it Coca-Cola. 
Pemberton's invention caught on fairly quickly. By 1905, "Coke" was being advertised all over the country as "The Great Natural Temperance Drink." The drink enjoyed additional success since there was a large and popular temperance movement in the US at that time. In the 1920s, alcohol was outlawed, and sales of Coke rose significantly. However, they continued to rise even after the law was repeated. 
Another reason for Coke's popularity was good business sense. A year after he invented it, Pemberton had sold Coca-Cola to Asa Griggs Candler for only $283.26! Candler was a marketing genius, and by the time he sold the Coca-Cola Company in 1919, it was worth $25 million.
