2. Did more smokers start smoking before they were
16 years old or between the ages of 16-17?


3. How many of every 100 smokers started smoking
between the ages of 18 and 20?


4. How many of every 100 smokers started smoking

X Read the text and answer the questions below - T if they are true or F if they are false.

Sunbathing
Most of us love being outside in the summertime. Sunshine not only makes everything look
better, it makes us feel good too. But ultraviolet (UV) rays in the sunlight can damage the
cells in your body. You should do everything you can to avoid getting burnt by the sun. This is
because over time small amounts of sunburn damage can build up, which may lead to the
development of skin cancer.

Tanning and your skin
Tanning is a natural process. Your skin creates the brown-coloured pigment called melanin to
protect it against the harmful UV rays in sunlight. This means even the lightest suntan is
evidence of skin damage. While a tan is your body's way of protecting itself against UV rays, if
the damaged skin cells can't repair themselves, they can become cancerous. You should be
particularly careful in spring when your skin is pale. A tan doesn't guarantee that you will
avoid skin cancer later on in life. Sun exposure is a key factor in skin cancer, and the number
of cases has doubled over the last few decades.

How can you avoid sun damage?
Small children usually love the sun and want to stay outside far longer than adults. But they
are very sensitive to the sun's rays. Keep kids out of the sun for the hottest parts of the day
and protect them with a high SPF (30+). You can protect your skin by following a few basic
rules for your skin type. For example, if your skin always burns and never tans, avoid
sunbathing and make sure you cover arms and legs with long shirts etc when out in the
summer sun. If your skin gets tanned easily, it does not mean that you are safe from getting
skin cancer. Therefore use SPF of 15 or more. All skin types should stay out of the sun at the
hottest times of the day (11am to 3pm).


T or F

1. Ultraviolet rays in the sunlight can not damage the cells in your body.

2. You should do everything you can to avoid getting burnt by the sun.

3. Over time, small amounts of sunburn damage can build up and cause skin cancer.

4. Your skin creates the coloured pigment called browning.

5. A tan is your body's way of protecting itself against UV rays.

6. Dark tan guarantees that you will avoid skin cancer later on in life.

7. The damaged skin cells can't repair themselves and can become cancerous.

8. All skin types should stay out of the sun in the morning.

I woke up and went to the bathroom. The mirror was dirty so I breathed on it. It went all
misty and I rubbed it clean.
I looked out of the window. It had been raining and there were puddles
everywhere but the sun was now out and they were drying up .
I went downstairs, filled the kettle and plugged it in. Soon the water
was bubbling away and I noticed that the kitchen windows were getting
steamed up .
I had breakfast, got dressed and went to work at the caf. My first job was to put some
chocolate icing on a cake. I had to heat up some chocolate to make it go runny . I did not
use all the runny chocolate and I left some of it in the bowl. When I came back a
little while later it had gone hard .
Next, I had to make some of our home-made ice-lollies using real fruit juice. I
poured the juice into moulds and put them in the freezer to go hard .
I walked back home with a friend. It was a cold evening and we laughed at the way our breath

XXVIII Circle the correct answer.
In old westerns, cowboys often put their ear to a railway track to hear if a train is coming.
This is because the speed of sound waves depends upon the material through which they are
travelling. Sound travels 15 times faster through the metal railway tracks than through air,
giving the cowboy an early warning of the train's arrival. Sound travels fastest in solids
because the molecules are close together, which makes it easier for the vibrations to pass
from one molecule to the next.

sonic boom. This is a very loud booming sound wave that can be heard for miles. It is very
similar to the wake made behind a fast-moving boat.
Have you ever been swimming in the sea when a boat goes past a long way off? You can hear
the motor sooner and much more clearly underwater than above the water. Thats because
the sound travels faster through the water.
A common way to measure the speed of sound is to set up two microphones that are both
attached to an electronic timer. A loud noise is made near the first microphone and the timer
starts. The sound wave then travels towards the second microphone. When the wave reaches
the second microphone, the timer stops. If you know the distance between the two
microphones you can work out the speed of sound.

1. Look at the table to find which of these materials
does sound travel fastest in?
A Air
B Metal
C A vacuum
2. How much faster does the sound travel through metal
than through water?
A 15
B 330
C 5000
3. Why does the sound travel faster through solids?
A Because the molecules are softer.
B Because the molecules are closer.
C Because the molecules are vibrating.
4. When do the planes create a sonic boom?
A When they travel at the speed of the sound.
B When they travel slower than the speed of the sound.
C When they travel faster than the speed of the sound.
5. Look again at the experiment in which two microphones are used. Which of these
methods would not give a more accurate measurement of the speed of sound?
A Repeat the measurement 10 times and find the average speed.
B Move the microphones further apart.
C Make a louder sound.
