The Sumatran elephants habitat is in Sumatra, Indonesia. The average male elephant
reaches eight feet high and weighs up to six tons. A baby elephant can weigh up to one ton.
The males are always larger than the females. They are massive creatures.
Elephants have a trunk, two tusks, two eyes, two ears and two lumps on their head. They are
known to be clever animals. When an elephant is hot, they fan themselves by flapping their
ears back and forth. When an elephant herd wants to move they use their ears as a guide.
Their hearing range is very large. Elephants hear some noises that cannot be heard by a
human ear.
Sumatran elephants have enough strength to knock down a tree. They can also pick up
a log using just their trunk and their tusks. Their trunk is their nose. They also use it like a
hand. Just below their trunk they have their tusks. Only male Sumatran elephants have tusks.

Making an Omelette
This is the way an omelette should be made. It is important that the frying-pan
should be proportionate to the number of eggs; in other word, to the size of the omelette. The
frying-pan must be made of iron not of aluminium, tin or enamel. And here I fell I must stress
a point, essential to what might be called the background of omelette-making, namely that the
frying-pan must never be washed with water but rubbed, when hot, with salt and tissue paper,
as this is the only way to prevent sticking.
For three papers, we take six eggs, break them into a bowl, season them with salt
and freshly ground pepper, and add a good teaspoonful of water. We beat this lightly with a
fork or the wire-broom, not the whisk, until large bubbles from on the top. This takes half a
minute; it is fatal to beat too long. Meanwhile, our frying-pan is getting heat, not too hot, and
we drop in an ounce and a half of butter and best lard, over quick flame for a minute or two,
until it gives no more froth and has turned light golden. We give our egg-mixture another stir
and pour it into the fat, letting it spread evenly over the frying-pan.
All this is a swift business, and we may well feel a few extra hearts-beats and a little
breathlessness at that moment. The flame is now turned down a little. With a fork or palette-
knife (a fork seems to work particularly well) we loosen the edges of the omelette all round
and, once or twice, in the middle, letting the liquid flow into the empty spaces, taking care
always to move towards the middle.
This takes about two minutes. Then, keeping as calm as we possibly can, we fold it.
This is easiest if we fold over and pin down with two or three fork-pricks about an inch and-
a-half of the omelette along one side. Then it is quite easy to roll it into shape. Our omelette
should be golden brown outside and wet inside: because, as is the classical French term. It is
then slid on to a hot plate and its surface made shiny with a little butter. This last touch makes
all the difference.

18. What is important about the frying-pan?

a. It should be the same size as the eggs.
b. It should never be a small one.
c. It should never be too small to hold the eggs.
d. It should never be a very flat one.
e. It should be a big one.

19. Which of the following frying-pans is among those mentioned by the writer?
a. One made of aluminium.
b. One made of aluminium and enamel.
c. One made of iron.
d. One made of gold.
e. One made of paper.

20. What is the only way to prevent sticking?

a. Rubbing with hot salt and tissue-paper.
b. Rubbing with hot water.
c. Rubbing with salt and paper.
d. Washing with salt and paper.
e. Washing with water.

21. Where the empty spaces we let the liquid flow into?
a. all round the edged of the omelet
b. At some edges of the omelet
