"Look out!" --- "Oh, no! I'm hit!" Bright red liquid is running down your shirt. You're dead.

This is paintball, an exciting "kill or be killed" action game. Paintguns were originally used by US forest workers to mark trees. When in the 1980s a few foresters shot the guns at each other for fun, the game of paintball was born.

Soon rules were made, and paintball developed into a team game. In an area, such as a field or a wood, two teams try to capture each other's flag, without getting shot. A player firing a paintgun hopes the small paint "bullet" will hit his enemy. If it does, the bullet bursts like a small balloon, leaving a red paint splash mark. The hit player is then "dead," and is out of the match. It's a little like "hide and seek," but with shooting skills required. Players must wear protective goggles over their eyes and ear-covers, to prevent injury to these areas.

Because the game develops teamwork and shooting skills, professionals such as the police and the army now train using special kinds of paintball games. For example, one team may be terrorists in a building, and the other may be policemen on the street.

Paintball has now reached Taiwan. So if anyone asks you for a game of paintball, have fun, but be sure to wear the protective gear. Oh---and watch your back!

CPR is a way of bringing people back to life when their hearts stop. In an emergency, it can keep them alive before they are sent to hospital. To perform CPR, you breathe into the patient's mouth to make his or her lungs work. Then, you push on the heart with your hands to make it start beating again.

CPR is very helpful, especially in three kinds of circumstances. The first is when people are having a heart attack. The second is when people are drowning.

The most famous Egyptian pharaoh is the "boy king" Tutankhamun, who died, aged 17 66 or 18, over 3300 years ago. Although he wasn't as powerful as other pharaohs, his fame is due to three reasons. The first is that when his tomb was discovered in 1922, it was filled with treasures, including Tutankhamun's famous gold ‘funeral mask.’

The second reason is the mysterious curse Tutankhamun is said to have put on anyone entering his tomb. Several of the people who first entered Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 died soon afterwards. A lot of people still believe the deaths were because of the curse of Tutankhamun.

The final reason is that archaeologists still aren't sure how Tutankhamun died. With modern techniques, new work has been done to try to discover the cause. Originally, scientists discovered injuries to the back of his head, which might have been caused by an accidental blow. It might also have been murder. One theory suggests that the king's successor, Ay, may have been responsible for killing him.

But in March 2005, Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass found no evidence of a blow to the back of Tutankhamun’s head. Instead, he found a break in the pharaoh's left leg. Hawass suggests that a broken leg that became diseased was the cause of Tutankhamun's early death.

As the debate continues over how Tutankhamun died, there's one thing we know for sure: because of the treasures found in his tomb, the memory of this young king will stay alive forever.

(   ) 49. This passage is most likely taken from a _____.

(A) fairy tale                    (B) geography textbook (C) book critic                                         (D) travel magazine

(   ) 50. Which of the following statements about Tutankhamun is NOT true?

(A) He died young.                                                  (B) He was an Egyptian pharaoh.

(C) He was born with a broken leg.                        (D) He became king when he was still a boy.

(   ) 51. According to the passage, one of the reasons why Tutankhamun is well known is that _____.

(A) he was buried with a lot of precious jewels

(B) he died of a mysterious curse

(C) he was murdered by his followers

(D) he is the most powerful pharaoh in the Egypt history

(   ) 52. Which of the following about the passage is NOT mentioned?

(A) That many died soon after they had entered Tutankhamun's tomb.

(B) That an archeologist finally proved that Tutankhamun died of a disease.

(C) That Tutankhamun's tomb was not discovered until the early 20th century.

With tigers to butterflies finding shelter beneath the tall rainforest trees, tropical rainforests are home to a vast number of creatures. Most of the world’s tropical rainforests are found in South and Central America, Africa, and South and Southeast Asia. Rainforest trees are huge, often 45 meters high, and have layers of branches that form the rainforest canopy. There are several levels of canopy in a rainforest, and the temperature and humidity within one level can often be quite different from the next level.

Animals living in the rainforest's highest level can travel large distances without ever climbing down to the ground. Instead they move about on paths made in the branches of trees. Even tiny ants have been observed using paths only 3 mm wide.

Sadly, these interesting environments are in danger of being destroyed by humans. About 80,000 square kilometers of rainforest are cut down every year, often for fuel or to make grasslands for cattle. Many trees are also cut down for construction industry, and sometimes thousands of trees are combined to construct a large modern building.

The rainforests are essential as part of the world's eco-system. They provide a home for many creatures, and help keep our Earth cool and watered. Once the rainforest is gone, the soil left behind will become too poor and dry to farm with. Animals get endangered and plants extinct. It is important that people value the rainforests before they are all destroyed.

(   ) 53. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?

(A) The value of rainforests.                                 (B) The system of canopy.

(C) The biological diversity of the rainforests.     (D) The danger of deforestation.

(   ) 54. Which of the following is NOT the reason human beings cut down trees in rainforests?

(A) They need the wood for construction.            (B) They use trees for fuel.

(C) They want the land to raise cattle.                   (D) They want the soil for farming.

(   ) 55. Which of the following about "canopy" in rainforests is NOT true?

(A) Each level of canopy is different in humidity.

(B) Canopy is formed by tree branches.

(C) The highest level of canopy has the shortest travel distance.

(D) Animals living there use branches as traveling paths.

(   ) 56. The rainforests are important to our world's eco-system because _____.

(A) many human beings are sheltered there

(B) they help the soil remain wet for farming

(C) they protect animals from danger

(D) they provide resources for our construction industry
