About
a month ago, I was walking alone on the beach on a warm evening. I had
finished all my homework, and I wanted to relax.
Suddenly,
I saw two small children who were digging in the sand. They had found
something, and they were looking at it. It was big, reddish-brown and made
of metal. When I looked at it, I knew immediately that it was an old bomb!
First,
I told the children to move away from the bomb. Fortunately, I had my
mobile phone with me, so I called the police and told them what we had
found. Fifteen minutes later, the police arrived and I explained everything
to them. Then I went home again.
The
next day, I read the newspaper that the police had blown up the very high
explosive bomb. It had been in the sand on the beach for over sixty years.
It was from the Second World War, and it was very dangerous!

LITTLE BROTHER, LITTLE SISTER
Maltreated by
their stepmother who was a witch, a little brother and sister fled into the
woods. After running for a while, the brother said, “I’m thirsty. Let’s find a spring and have a
drink.”
However, as the young boy bent down to
drink, his sister heard a voice which said:”Who drinks from me will turn into a
fawn.” It was the witch! Too late, the sister tried to prevent her brother from
drinking.
The young boy changed at once into a
fawn. In tears, the little girl made a lead collar out of her belt, and led the
fawn off to the woods. There they found an abandoned cottage and lived
together, far from any danger.
One day, the King was hunting in the
woods, and he spied the fawn, which could not resist the urge to wander away from
the cottage. The King and his hunters chased the fawn all the way back home.
The King followed it into the cottage, where he found a young girl stroking the
frightened animal. She was so beautiful and gentle that the King fell in love
with her at once. He asked her to be his wife, and his words caused the maiden
to cry for joy. When her tears fell on the fawn, it changed back into her

lived happily with King ever after.

questions 39 to 42.
A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land, a
deluge. It is usually due to the volume of water within a body of water, such
as a river or lake, exceeding the total capacity of the body, and as a result
some of the water flows or sits outside the normal perimeter of the body. It
can also occur in rivers, when the strength of the river is so high that it
flows right out of the river channel, usually at corners or meanders. These, of
course, are not applicable in such instances as sea flooding.
A flood occurs when an area of land, usually
low-lying, is covered with water. The worst floods usually occur when a river
overflows its banks. Floods happen when soil and vegetation cannot absorb all
the water. The water then runs off the land in quantities that cannot be
carried in stream channels or kept in natural ponds or man-made reservoirs.
Periodic floods occur naturally on many
rivers, forming an area known as the flood plain. These river floods usually
result from heavy rain, sometimes combined with melting snow, which causes the
rivers to overflow their banks. A flood that rises and falls rapidly with
little or no advance warning is called a flash flood. Flash floods usually result
from intense rainfall over a relatively small area, as happened in 2007 with
the Sudan floods. Coastal areas are occasionally flooded by high tides caused
by severe winds on ocean surfaces, or by tsunami waves caused by undersea
earthquakes.
