Air pollution is the source of many

materials thal may enter the human blood stream

Chemical known to be harmful, such as benzene, lead, and other heavy metals, carbon
monoxide, volatile nitrites, pesticides, and herbicides have been shown to produce harmful
effbcts on the blood, bone marrow, $plee$, and lymph nodes.
Blood cells are constantly undergoing turnover, with new blood cells entering the
ciroulation as mature cells are lost, making the. blood system especially wlnerable to
environmental poisoning. For example, lead interferes with normal red blood eetl fbrmation by
inhibiting important enzlmes. in addition, lead damages red blood cell n:embranes and
interferes with cell metabolism in a way that shortens the survival of each individual cell. Hach
of these harmful eff,ects can result in clinical anemia.

Techniquo of Teaching

'
;lhe

Siient Way is one of the effective language teaching techniques. It is pedagogical

approach to langr,rage tcaching baserl on the premise that the teacher should be as silent as
possible in the *l*r*roo* (about 90% of the time). The learners, thenn are encouraged to
produce as much language au possible. They have much tirne both to be exposed to the
language and to perf'orm prac.tice.
t6* learning hypothesis behind the Silent Way is that learning is facilitated if the
learners discover or create rather tha* remembers and repeats what is to be learned, Also,
stuclents iearn more effectively through problem solving involving the target language. It
viervs language lealning as a creative, problem-solving and discovering activity in rvhich the
learner is a principal actor rather than a bench*bound listener.
Basically, in learning tcachers prepare their students to have problem solving skill. And
the Silent Way c*n be clescribeil as a problem-solving apprcach to language learning, and is
summed up nicelf in Renjarnin Franklin's words:
"Tell me antl I frrrget,]'cach me and I remgnrber, Involve me and I learn"'
I conclude that the Siient Way is an appropriate language teaching technique.

A. Hxposing the su[":rject.
B. Creating the subjects.

Thc following text is for questions 44 to 48
There are a lot of discussions as to whether children should be given homework or not.
Some people clairn that children do enough work in school alrecdy. They also argue
that children have hobbies that they want to do after school, such as sports or music. A further
point they make is that a lot of homework is pointless and doesn't help the chilci learn at all.
I-Iou,ever, there are also strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and
teachers argue that it is imporlant to find out whether children can work on their own without
the support from the teacher. They say that the evening is a good time for children to sit down
and think about rarhat they have learned in school,
Frrthermore they claim that the school day is too shoft to get anything done that needs
doing and it makes sen$e to send home tasks like independent reading or further writing tasks
that don't need teacher's support.
On balance, I think that some homework is a good idea but that it should only given at
the weekenct
children have more tirne.

44. How do ws compare the seconcl and the tourth paragraph?
Botlr paragraphs argue that homework is necessary for students.

The second paragraph supports that students need homework, but the fourth paragraph

wiih a thick and woolly layer of fur. Its bill is detecting prey and stirring up mud.
Platypus' eyes and head are small. It has no ears but has ability to sense sound and light.
The male platypus has a hollow claw, or spur, on each hind leg. The spurs are
connected with poison glands. The platypus leg scratches and poisons its enemies with
the spurs.
Platypus lives in streams, rivers, and lakes. Female platypus usually digs burrows
in the streams or river banks. The bunows are blocked with soil to protect it from
intruders and flooding. On the other hand, male platypus does not need any burrow to
