The following text is for questions 22 to 25.

The ancient town of Luang Prabang situated in northern Laos, sits on a peninsular at the
confluence of two rivers, the Nam Khan and the famous, Mekong. Considered by many travellers
and writers as being the heart of Laotian culture, the tiny town is encircled by mountains and is
700 metres above the sea level.
Luang Prabang is Laos’ premier tourist destination and Southeast Asia’s most beautiful spot
and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.
Luang Prabang was the ancient royal capital of the LanXang Kingdom until King Phothisarat
moved the administrative seat to Vientiane in 1545. The town of Luang Prabang owes its present
name to the Pha Bang, a revered Buddha image (now in the Royal Palace Museum) which was
brought to the town in the early 1 500s.

ordered cab. After we arrived, I laid myself to my bed and got my rest as tomorrow I have to go to

Earthquake often happens around us. It brings great damages. Earthquake is hard to be
predicted and that makes a lot of victims. Actually there are three kinds of earthquake. The
diffrent kinds of earthquake are commonly based on the factor and geological area where the
earthquakes happen. These three kinds of earthquake are tectonic, volcanic and explosive.
Tectonic earthquake is the most common one. This kind of earthquake happens while earth’s
crust rocks break because of the geological strength created by moving of the earth’s plates.
Volcanic earthquakes happen exactly with volcanic activity. Volcanic earthquakes are when
the volcano produces acidic lava, which dries quickly. When it dries quickly it blocks the top of the
volcano. This makes no more magma can escape. Pressure starts to build up and eventually the
acidic lava can no longer stand the pressure. So, the volcano is free to explode. The pressure is
released so fast that an earthquake is caused. A volcanic earthquake is usually kept within 10—20
miles from the volcano.
Explosive earthquakes are the result of the collapse earthquakes where small earthquakes
occur in underground mines and caverns.

A. The most common of earthquake type.

The following text is for questions 48 to 50.

Turtles belong to reptiles characterised by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from
their ribs and acting as a shield. “Turtle” may refer to the order as a whole (American English) or
to fresh-water and sea-dwelling testudines (British English).
The testudines include both extant and extinct species. The earliest known members of this
group date from 157 million years ago, making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups and a more
ancient group than snakes or crocodilians. The 327 known species alive today, some are highly
endangered.
Turtles are ectotherms—their internal temperature varies according to the ambient
environment, commonly called cold-blooded. However, because of their high metabolic rate,
leatherback sea turtles have a body temperature that is noticeably higher than the surrounding
water.
Turtles are classified as amniotes, along with other reptiles, birds, and mammals. Like other
amniotes, turtles breathe air and do not lay eggs underwater, although many species live in or
around water.
