Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells and replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.

The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva contains digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here, the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the food onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.

What is the text about?

• The digestive system

• 13. The digestive juice

• 13. The method of the digestive system

• The process of intestine work

From the text, we imply that ….

• no one concerned with the process of digestive system for their health

• A good process of digestive system will help our body becoming healthier

• the digestive system is needed if we are eating the food instantly

• every body must conduct the processes of digestive system well

A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes, but are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, whose narrow end touches the Earth and is often encircled by a cloud of debris and dust.

What is the main idea of the text?

• Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes

• Tornadoes are a type of ocean current

• Tornadoes are a rapidly rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud

• Tornadoes are caused by the moon's gravitational pull

Tsunami is a series of ocean waves with very long wavelengths (typically several hundred kilometers) caused by large-scale disturbances of the ocean, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides. The waves can travel across entire ocean basins and can cause significant damage when they hit coastlines.

3. What is the main idea of the text?

• 3. Tsunamis are caused by the moon's gravitational pull

• 3. Tsunamis can cause significant damage when they hit coastlines

• 3. Tsunamis are caused by the rotation of the earth

• 3. Tsunamis are a type of ocean current

Global warming, a significant environmental issue, refers to the sustained increase in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system. This phenomenon has garnered widespread attention due to its potential impact on the planet and its inhabitants.

The primary cause of global warming is the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere due to human activities. These gases, including carbon dioxide, trap heat from the sun, leading to a gradual rise in the Earth's temperature. The burning of fossil fuels, industrial processes, and deforestation are among the key human activities that contribute to the accumulation of these gases in the atmosphere. As a result, the natural balance of the Earth's climate system is disrupted, leading to long-term changes in global temperatures and weather patterns.

In conclusion, the evidence overwhelmingly supports the fact that human activities, particularly the release of greenhouse gases, are the primary drivers of global warming. Addressing this issue requires collective and urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to sustainable energy sources, and implement measures to mitigate the impact of climate change. The consequences of inaction are far-reaching and underscore the need for proactive measures to combat global warming and its associated effects.

What is global warming known as?

• 4. A sustained increase in the average temperature of the Earth's climatic system since the industrial revolution

• 4. An increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere caused by changes in natural events

• 4. An increase in the average temperature of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere

• 4. An increase in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere

What causes global warming?

• Development of advanced technology by humans

• Changes in natural events, such as changes in sunlight intensity and volcanic eruptions

• Human use of non-renewable resources

• Melting of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, into an atmosphere by human activities
