Tourism
Tourism means people travelling to places outside of their usual home. A tourist is anyone traveling for fun, business or visiting relatives. A tourist must stay at least 24 hours but for less than one year.
There are different types of tourists. First, a domestic tourist is a person who spends at least one night away from their normal home but still within their own country. Some people call this a ‘staycation’.
Then, there are regional tourists. This is a tourist who travels within a certain region. For example, a Barbadian visiting Jamaica.
Suppose you really wanted to visit New York and see the Statue of Liberty. Then you would be an international tourist. An international tourist is someone who travels across international borders. For example, travelling from Barbados to the United States.
Tourism is great because it creates many jobs for people who work in hotels. It also allows us to see many places all around the world.

Sallysat at the window hoping that the king would stop by their home.
The sound of the trumpets drew closer.
Young Sally quickly grabbed her
comb and combed her hair before tying it with a string. Sally walked briskly
into her yard and sat on a rock near a mango tree. She was joined by her
pet lamb. ‘Ouch! You stepped on my thumb.’ Sally shouted.
Sally was pleasantly surprised when she noticed the king was issuing persons with long
yellow envelopes.
She went a little closer and pulled a limb from the mango
tree that was in her path. In clear view, Sally smiled as she saw her parents
jumped and hugged each other. She knew at that very moment that her
parents would be able to pay their bills. She felt numb. Sally and her
parents were so excited that they sang their favourite song as they went
back into their home.

Read this passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Many students enjoy reading a good book. They understand that reading provides many benefits.
However, there are a few students who do not appreciate books at all! “Why read?” they ask, “when
there is so much to watch on television?” For them the television is more interesting than any book.
The screen flickers and changes often, the characters move and speak and the colours add appeal.
Books on the other hand, may not even have pictures. You have to use your imagination, which they
say “is hard work!”
However, reading offers several advantages over television. First, you can take a
book with you anywhere you want. Anywhere means anywhere: on the bus, to the kitchen, in
the street, to church, on vacation and even to the bathroom! It would not be so easy to take
a television set with you everywhere you go.
Secondly, a book requires no electricity or batteries to provide it with power. There
are no plugs, no switches to turn off or on, nothing to be recharged. You will never be stranded
if the electricity goes or if you don’t have money to buy batteries. Your book will work as soon as
you open it.
Finally, books allow you to use your imagination. You don’t need to depend on the ideas
of a movie or television show producer. You can generate your own movie or television show in your head based on the words in your book.
You can hear the splash and crash of the Essequibo River in Guyana, touch lions in Africa and
smell the market place in Mexico. So what are you waiting for? Pick up a book today, you can take
it anywhere with you, it needs no power and best of all you can create your own ideas.

The serpent succeeded in capturing the eagle. The serpent wrapped himself around the eagle's neck. The eagle tried to use his beak and claws to struggle to freedom, but nothing worked. He even lifted his wings to soar into the sky, trying to shake off his enemy, but the serpent's hold only tightened. Slowly, the eagle sank back to earth, gasping for breath.
A hunter witnessed the unequal combat. In pity for the noble eagle, he rushed up and soon loosened the coiling serpent. The eagle was free at last.
The serpent was furious. He had no chance to bite the watchful hunter. Instead, he struck at the drinking horn, hanging at the hunter's belt and into it released the poison of his fangs.
The hunter now, unaware of what the serpent had done, continued on his way. No sooner had the hunter gone a short distance than he became very thirsty and stopped to fill his horn at a spring. As he was about to drink, there was a sudden rush of great wings. Sweeping down, the eagle seized the poisoned horn from his savior's hands and flew away to hide it where it would never be found.

An adult human has about 206 bones. As people grow, the bones in their bodies are very much alive. Bones are constantly growing and changing along with the person. One way they change is that bones in a young child are very soft, but as people get older, their bones gradually harden. Bones are fully grown and have reached their maturity when someone reaches the age of 25. Bones’ most important functions are to provide support and protection for the body. Bones give the body its shape and also protect sensitive organs like the heart, lungs, and brain. Human bones are very strong, but, no matter how strong bones are, sometimes they break.
A broken bone is called a fracture, which can be painful. When people fracture a bone, they go to the doctor who will try to fix the fracture. The first thing a doctor will do is to take an x-ray to see where the break is. An x-ray is a picture, taken by a special machine, of the inside of your body. Once the doctor has an x-ray, he can see what a person’s bones look like. If it is a complex fracture, the doctor might have to operate to put the pieces back together before putting on a cast. If it is a simple fracture, many times the doctor can use the cast to keep the bones in the right place so they can heal. A cast is made of wet bandages put around the part of your body with the break, and the bandages harden so the bones cannot move.
The human body is very good at fixing itself when a part of it is injured. When there is a fracture, the body sends lots of blood to the area to bring nutrients to the injury. The bones will then use those nutrients and start to grow. The bones will eventually mend together. Once the bones heal, the cast is removed. A special saw is used to remove the cast. The process of removing the cast does not hurt. Although breaking a bone can be scary, it is good to know doctors can help.
78. What are the two most important functions of bones in the human body?
______________________________________________________________________
79. What does the word complex mean as it is used in the passage?

80. How many bones are in the adult human body?

81. According to paragraph 1, why are bones described as “alive”?

82. What must a doctor do first when fixing a fracture?
______________________________________________________________________
83. What is the purpose of an x-ray?
______________________________________________________________________
84. What part of speech is “wet” (paragraph 2)?
______________________________________________________________________
85. Why is blood sent to the area of the body that has been fractured?
