The Return of Dracula
There were two little boys who loved horror movies
very much. They said, ”scary movies give us a lot of excitement and pleasure.”
One
night both of them watched The Return of Dracula on cable TV at their
grandmother’s house. Their grand mother asked, “Aren’t you frightened by horror
movies?”
“No!
We have grown up. All those wolves and Dracula are a bluff and don’t scare us
anymore, Grandma,” both replied.
Throughout
the movie, Dracula appeared as an ugly bloodthirsty vampire, who always preyed
upon lonely men, women and children. Watching Dracula, the children felt the
same fear as what the victims in the movie really felt.
When
the movie came to an end, one of the boys wanted to go to the bathroom. They
decided to go there together. When they open the bathroom door, they were
shocked to see some one sitting on the toilet seat. Affected by the movie they
had just seen, the two boys believed that they had seen a Dracula. When the
“Dracula” give abroad grin, the two boys realized suddenly that they were
frightened and ran towards their grandmother’s room.
The
two little boys got into the bed, then cuddled up together under the blanket. A
few minutes later, their grandmother awoke because she felt the bed shaking
violently. It turned out that the two little boys were trembling with fear. The
grandmother asked, “What wrong?”
“We
wanted to go to the bathroom, but we saw Dracula sitting on the toilet seat,”
the boys replied.
“Boys!
I thought you have grown up. That was your grandpa, not Dracula,” their
grandmother laughed hysterically.
Ever
since that night, the boys chose their program wisely. They only watched
programs that were suitable for their age.

How Bread is Made
Almost everyone eats bread daily, especially for
breakfast. Bread making is not a complicated task. You only need flour, water,
yeast, sugar, salt, oil, butter and an oven.
Choosing
good flour is the first step in making bread. There are two kinds of flour,
soft and hard. Hard flour, made of winter wheat, is a better choice for making bread because it
produces bread that has a better texture and taste.
Then,
lukewarm water, yeast, sugar and salt are mixed with the flour to make dough.
Yeast is microscopic organism that is capable of producing carbon dioxide. It
can make the dough rise or expand. Both sugar and salt give flavor to the bread
so that it tastes nice. They however, have different effects on yeast. After
that, oil (such as olive oil, corn oil, peanut oil) and butter are added
because they are essential to make the bread tender. After mixing all the
ingredients, the dough is sent to the oven.

Pandemic
There
are differences of opinion on the avian flu. Some say this could claim 150
million deaths, but others believe the current alarm on avian flu to be
unwarranted as there is no proof it can spread between human.
According
to the chief of the United Nations, 150 million people could die from the
disease if a pandemic strikes. One of the most frightening aspects of a human
flu pandemic arising from avian influenza would be its unpredictability. It’s
difficult to estimate the death toll should the H5N1 virus mutate into a form
that could be easily transmitted between humans. It is not possible to predict
whether a pandemic would occur once, or if it would repeat. However,
epidemiologists recommend that governments take every possible precaution
against the threat of bird flu seriously.
Contrary
to all the dire predictions about an avian flu pandemic, some ecologists
dismiss the current panic unsubstantiated guess work. One ecologist contends
that H5N1 virus still remains a bird virus and no scientific evidence yet exist
human-to-human transmission. There are billions of people across Asia, and only 118 of them have been infected by avian
flu. So, how do they know that 150 million or more people could die because of
avian flu? The global panic, according to the ecologist, is the result of
“scare tactic” created by politicians, medical officers and the media.
It’s premature to predict the outcome of avian flu until health scientists confirm the possibility of human-to-human transmission. The advice is to keep cool and not panic because if you do, you will weaken your resistance and reduce your immune system.
24. What does “Pandemic” means?
- A disease that only spreads among birds.
- An illness which is caused by animal.
- A disease which is globally widespread.
- A flu which affects only Asia
e.
A disease that
kills birds.
25. If pandemic broke out, how many people would be killed
globally?
- 118 people.
- 500,000 people.
- About 150,000 people.
- About 150 million people.
e.
Half of the world population.
26. What is the best precaution against avian
flu?
- Evacuate people to other countries
- Stay at home, close all doors and windows.
- Kill all the chickens and birds.
- Keep cool and don’t panic.
e.
Don’t eat any
chickens and birds.
27. What does
the ecologist say about H5N1?
- Million of people will perish because of H5N1.
- It is a highly contagious disease.
- There is no scientific proof of human-to-human transmission.
- H5N1 is a human virus
e.
H5N1 is a
pandemic.
28. Which of
the statements below is true?
- H5N1 is a human virus.
- A pandemic is not a contagious disease.
- An epidemiologist is a doctor who specializes in birds.
- Avian flu is not curable.
e.
H5N1 is only a
bird virus.
