Scientists make biodegradable plastic Plastic has been a blight on the landscape and a deadly threat to wildlife for decades. Environmentalists have issued many pleas for us to reduce the amount of plastic we use or switch to biodegradable alternatives. One solution to this problem may be at hand. Scientists have developed a form of biodegradable plastic. This means that the billions of plastic bags, cups, straws and utensils that we dispose of each day could be "compostable" - they could decompose and break down as naturally as organic waste. The scientists are from the University of California, Berkeley. They say they have invented a plastic that could break down within a few weeks, rather than centuries, using just heat and water. The new, biodegradable product involves embedding polyester-eating enzymes into the plastic during the production process. When these enzymes are exposed to heat and water, they eat away at the plastic and reduce it to lactic acid. This provides nutrients for the soil when composted. Professor Ting Xu said up to 98 per cent of the plastic her team made degraded into small molecules. She said: "We are basically saying that we are on the right track. We can solve this continuing problem of single-use plastics." She added: "Look at all the wasted stuff we throw away - clothing, shoes, electronics like cellphones and computers. We are taking things from the earth at a faster rate than we can return them."

On sentence is extra. Liquid Life Did you know that, right now, about 75% of your body is made up of a chemical compound called dihydrogren monoxide? 1 ___ Water is essential to human life because it does so much for our bodies. On the inside, it’s responsible for lots of processes, from transporting nutrients and oxygen to regulating temperature and blood pressure. On the outside, we can help cool off our skin on a hot day, bring down swelling from an injury or soothe a nasty burn by taking a bath in cold water. You need to drink between 2 and 3 litres of water a day to stay healthy. That’s because we lose water through our skin when it evaporates and through waste cleans our bodies of dangerous toxins. Never wait until you’re thirsty to get a drink; by the time you start to feel like you need some water, you’re already dehydrated. 2 ____ So drinking enough water will help you feel healthy inside and out. Drinking water can help you lose weight, too, because it increases the body’s metabolism. Metabolism is a series of chemical reactions that happen in the cells of our body. 3 ___ A fast metabolism burns more calories than a slow metabolism, so if you’re trying to lose weight, make sure you drink plenty of water. Around 80% of your brain is made up of water. Water is especially important for the brain because the cells of the brain are so complex. 4 ____ So if you’re having trouble paying attention in class, maybe all you need is a glass of water. Last but not least, let’s not forget what water does for your smile. When you don’t drink enough water, your mouth gets dry. 5 ____ | However, when you drink plenty of water, your mouth produces lots of saliva. Saliva is what keeps your mouth clean and healthy. So drink your water and let everyone enjoy your beautiful white smile! A This is the way in the body converts food into energy. B This can cause cavities and decay in your teeth. C Other signs of dehydration include dry skin, a dry mouth and feeling tired. D Here are a few examples of the way metabolism happens in the human body. E It s not a dangerous chemical though, it's just H2O - plain water. F Not drinking enough water can make it hard to concentrate. 1____ 2_____ 3_____ 4______ 5______ [5] II.Writing Your school has a website, but not many people visit it.

British Science Week usually takes place in March and lasts for around 10 days. During this time exciting and fun science events are held around the country. There are also fascinating science documentaries on television and lots of museums hold exciting science exhibitions. British Science Week has different theme each year, so that people can learn about different areas of science. For instance, in 2017 the theme was ‘change’ and in 2018 ‘ exploration and discovery’. Even the UK’s postal service, Royal Mail, prints the British Science Week logo onto all of the envelopes they deliver to remind everyone about this special event. There is a lot to see and do during British Science Week. In addition to the TV shows and museum exhibits, the British Science Association holds annual poster and photography competitions for young people so that they can get involved with their friends and families. Most primary and secondary schools also arrange a variety of activities for their students to do in school, for example preparing tasks for them to do in their lessons or inviting scientists to speak to them. Some schools have a ‘Demo Day’ where teachers can show the students some amazing science demonstrations and other schools hold creative competitions for their students. These might include fancy dress competitions where students dress up as their favourite scientists or baking competitions that ask students to bake science –themed cakes and biscuits. In the UK, British Science Week is something that students all over the country look forward to each year . It’s a great way to get young people interested in science and to recognize the amazing advances that science makes and the impact it has on us. 1.

[6] II.Reading Search for Supernova Sometimes a star explodes. The explosion is called a supernova. Supernovas are the biggest explosions that happen in space. They are one of the most powerful events in the universe. Usually, changes to planets and stars happen very, very slowly. For example, it took millions of years for our solar system to form. That is a very long time. A supernova, however, happens very quickly. The explosion lasts only about 15 seconds. In Galaxies Far, Far Away A galaxy is a system of millions of stars and the planets that circle them. Our solar system is in the Milky Way galaxy. In galaxies like ours, there are two or three supernovas every hundred years. There are many, many galaxies in the universe. Scientists can usually observe a few hundred supernovas every year. Ingredients for Planets Supernovas are important for shooting elements into the universe. Everything in the Universe is made of matter, and matter is made of elements. Huge stars are kind of like factories. The burningcore of a star cooks up the elements needed to make everything else in the universe. When a star explodes, it shoots the elements into space. Eventually, the elements form new stars and new planets. These become solar systems, which make up galaxies. The elements are ingredients for making planets, moons, and even us! Task. Read the questions and choose the best option A, B, C or D. 1. Which question is answered in the section "Search for Supernovas"? [1] A. What causes supernovas? B. Who can discover supernovas? C. Where do supernovas happen? D. Why do scientists study supernovas? 2. What information do you get from the section "Ingredients for Planets"? [1] A. details about what kinds of stars can eventually become supernovas B. facts about how long most supernovas last C. details about what causes supernovas to happen D. facts about how supernovas help make other things in the universe 3.

Transcript Teacher: So you've got a few minutes to discuss with your partner. Student 1: So, as far as I know, the main similarity between Mars and Earth is that they can both support human life. Student 2: Yeah, but do we know that's actually true? I mean, Mars is much colder than Earth, isn't it? It says here it's about minus 55 degrees most of the time, whereas on Earth only places like Antarctica get that cold. Student 1: True. Well then, I suppose you could say both planets are a similar distance from the Sun? Student 2: No way! Mars is much further away! It says here it's about 228 million kilometres, while Earth is about 150 million. Student 1: Yes, but in space that's not that far. Jupiter is, like, almost 780 million kilometres. That's why we use astronomical units when we talk about distances in space. Earth is 1 astronomical unit from the Sun and Mars is 1.3. The difference doesn't sound so big when you look at it that way. Student 2: I see what you mean. Jupiter is 5.2 astronomical units so I guess you're right. What other similarities are there between the two planets? Student 1: Let's see … not the colour, obviously! Student 2: Yeah! Earth is called the blue planet and Mars is called the red planet for pretty obvious reasons! Student 1: Their sizes are pretty different. Mars is about half the size of Earth. Student 2: What about this? It looks like the days on both planets are almost the same length. Earth's day is 24 hours but Mars's is about half an hour longer. Student 1: You're right. OK, any other things they both share? Student 2: I suppose you could say they have water in common. Student 1: Could you? How? Student 2: Well, Earth is 70 per cent water and Mars probably had huge oceans in the past. It's just that most of the water there now is probably frozen. Student 1: Ah, I see. I don't think we can say the air is the same, though. Most of Earth's air is nitrogen and oxygen, but Mars …? Student 2: Mars doesn't really have air, not compared with Earth. It's got about one per cent as much air as Earth. Student 1: Right, and it's mostly carbon dioxide. Student 2: Gravity is another difference. I didn't know this, but Mars has higher gravity than the Moon. But it's much less than on Earth, of course. Student 1: Oh, yes. It says Mars has about 38 per cent of Earth's gravity. Teacher: OK, let's see what you've found … |
