Passage Five
If you had been alive 200 years ago
and perhaps had stolen only a few loaves of bread
you would have been sent to prison.
If you had killed someone
something far worse would have happened to you.
You would have been hanged in public.
Life was hard and often brutal
So was the law.
Perhaps it had to be.
If you had lived in a large city like London
and if you had walked through the streets at night
someone might have killed you only in order to get your money.
Prisons have of course gotten much better in the last 200 years.
But conditions are still far from perfect.
If you were in a prison in many countries
you would probably be living in a small cell.
You would probably be sharing it with at least two other people.
Many people say
"Why should criminals have any better condition?
They shouldn't have broken the law in the first place."
14. What was life like 200 years ago?
15. What was the law like 200 years ago?
16. What does the author think of the conditions of prisons in the last 200 years?
Passage Six
If we didn't eat,we couldn't keep our bodies alive.
We couldn't grow
we couldn't have energic
and various parts of our body couldn't function as they must.
Modern scientists have been able to find out which substances in food our bodies need
and how much of these substances we need to be healthy.
In other words,it isn't enough just to eat
we must take in enough of each type of food substance for a specific purpose.
Protein food such as milk,eggs,cheese
meat and fish contain large quantities of the kind of material the body needs to build cell
The body cann't make new cells without proteic.
Carbohydrates are foods which have a large quantity of starch or sugar
such as potatoes,flour,rice,and sugar.
They are important to the body because they keep it warm and give it energic .
Almost all foods also have some fat
and fat is the most concentrated energy-giving food the body needs.
17. What should we do if we want to keep our bodies alive?
18. What is necessary for the body to make new cells?
19. What kind of food does flour belong to?
20. Why are carbohydrates important to the body?
