The Mississippi is one of the world’s great continental rivers, like the Amazon in South America, the Congo
in Africa, or the Volga in Europe. Its waters are gathered from two-thirds of the US and, together with
the Missouri, which is its chief western branch, the Mississippi flows some
northern sources in the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of Mexico, which makes it one of the world’s longest
waterways. The Mississippi has been called the “father of waters”. Through all its lower course, it
wanders along, appearing lazy and harmless. But people who know the river are not deceived by its
benign appearance, for they have had many bitter struggles with its floods. They have had to learn that
nothing is to be gained by fighting against the rages of the mighty stream. To control it, Americans have
had to accept some of the river’s own terms and to undertake the patient work of conserving and
rebuilding soil, grasslands and forests, far back where the waters begin to gather.
It is clear from the passage that the sources of
the Mississippi’s waters ----.
A) are so limited that the river seldom causes
flooding along its banks
B) are not as many as those of other continental
rivers in the world
C) need to be conserved to protect the river from

D) are spread over a great part of the US
E) cannot be ascertained, since the Rocky
Mountains have not been explored fully

The idea that American Indians could have built something resembling a city was so foreign to European settlers that when they encountered the Cahokia Mounds in Illinois in Midwest America, they thought they must have been the work of a foreign civilization: either the Phoenicians or the Vikings. Even today the idea of an Indian city runs so contrary to American notions of Indian life that no Anglo-Saxon American can absorb it. The first person to write an account of the Cahokia Mounds, the earliest and finest city built by Indians, was Henry Bracken bridge in 1811.When he reported his discovery, likening it to Egyptian pyramids, newspapers widely ignored it. He complained of this to his friend, former president Thomas Jefferson, and the word of 'Cahokia' did eventually get around. Unfortunately, most Americans were not very interested. The United States was trying to get the Indians out of the way, not appreciate their history. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 which ordered the relocation of eastern Indians to lands west of the Mississippi was based on the assumption that Indians were nomadic savages with no ability to make good use of land. Evidence of an ancient city, close to the size of Washington, D.C. at that time, would have spoiled the story line.
It can be understood from the passage that during the 1800s —.
A) the general tendency in American society towards the historic cities built by the Indians was one of acceptance
B) eastern American Indians were forced to relocate to pi aces to the east of the Mississippi River
C) most Americans including journalists and presidents were not interested in hearing anything positive regarding American Indians
D) American Indians were unable to make good use of the land as they were nomads and considered to be savages
E) most Americans, journalists as well as
presidents saw American Indians as an obstacle
to urban land development

Borborygmi happens when your stomach walls squeeze together in an attempt to mix and digest food and there's no food there. Gases and digestive juices slosh around in your empty stomach and before you know it, borborygmi kicks in. However, hunger really has nothing to do with an empty stomach but, instead, is a product of certain nutrients missing in the blood. Our brains contain a hunger centre, which functions as an accelerator, or as a brake for our stomachs and intestines. Once necessary nutrients are lacking from the blood, the dinner bell is rung, and the stomach and intestines come rumbling. The now active stomach and intestine aren't picky as to what foods will satisfy them, and will grab anything they can. If ever in a situation where borborygmi kicks in, and there is no food in sight, remember to remain calm. The calmer you are, the more slowly your body will metabolize the protein it has stored.
It is stated that people experience borborygmi ----.
A) when the blood lacks some nutrients

C) after they eat fatty food
D) as soon as the dinner bell is rung
E) to stop the rumbling in the intestines

Why does sea water taste salty? It is a question that has been asked by countless people down the ages. And the answer seems straightforward: rain constantly erodes the surface of the Earth, washing a mix of natural chemicals into rivers and thence into the sea. The most water soluble and abundant of these just happen to taste salty. All very simple. Or is it? After all, erosion has been taking place for millions of years, dumping ever more of these salty compounds into the sea, yet the concentration is still far below the saturation level. So the real mystery is not why the sea tastes salty, but why it isn’t utterly packed with salt, and as lifeless as the Dead Sea. Here is another curious thing about our planet. Its atmosphere has existed for billions of years, and yet it still contains a mix of highly reactive gases like oxygen and methane. Why haven’t they settled down into a boring unreactive atmosphere like that of Mars or Venus?
According to the passage, the most important and fascinating question about salt and the sea is: -----?
A) why do certain natural elements taste salty?
B) how much salt is there in the sea
