Text for question 

           The Porcelain Tower of Nanjing is a pagoda built during the Ming Dynasty in the 15th century. The tower was designed by the Chinese Emperor Yong Le. It gets its name because it was built with porcelain bricks. The top three stories were destroyed by lightning in 1801 but it was soon restored. In the 1850s most of it was destroyed during the Taiping Rebellion. A Chinese businessman named Wang Jianlin donated the equivalent of $156 million U.S. to reconstruct the Porcelain Tower of Nanjing.

           When the tower was built it stood 260 feet tall. It was also one of the tallest buildings in China at the time it was built. It was also 97 feet wide at the base. It was nine stories tall and had an interior staircase that was 184 steps. The top of the tower was adorned with a golden sphere. Some descriptions compared it to a pineapple. The white porcelain bricks reflect the sun and keep the tower to stay cool. These bricks made up the main portion of the pagoda. Wood was also used to build other elements of the tower. At night the tower was lit with over 100 hanging lamps. The porcelain bricks were decorated with images of flowers, landscapes and animals with glazes and stoneware.

Text for questions 40 to 43

     A flock of geese flew down to a beach where a lonely crow was hopping around. The crow didn’t respect to them..
        "How awfully you fly!" he said to the swans. "All you know is how to flap your wings. Can you glide? Can you somersault in the air? No, you cannot do that. Let's have a flying competition. I'll show you what flying really is!" One of the swans, a young, strong male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to display his flying ability. He flew in circles, swooped down like an arrow, and performed a variety of acrobatics in the air. Then he flew down arrogantly.
          Now it was the swan's turn. He launched himself into the air and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making bad comments about his manner of flying. On and on they flew until finally the land could not be seen. Water stretched endlessly on all sides. The crow's comments became less and less frequent and finally, stopped altogether. He had begun to tire. Eventually he became so tired that he found it hard to stay in the air. He had to struggle to keep from falling into the water. The swan finally said, "Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another flying show?"
   "No," squawked the crow, the fight completely gone out of him. "I'm in trouble. I am sorry I have been so arrogant. Please help me!
The swan had pity on him and taking him on his shoulders flew back to the land.

For questions 44 to 46, choose the best answer to complete the text.

Lightning is a form of electricity that is set free during a storm. Energy is suddenly released in a cloud when charges are built up. Although lightning is most common in tropical and subtropical regions, it can happen wherever hot air mixes with cold air. Thunderstorms produce about 8 million lightning bolts a day.

          Water droplets and ice crystals in a cloud have electric charges, positive and negative ones. Lightning happens when too many negative charges build up in a cloud and positive charges develop on the ground. The particles want to meet and race towards each other. A flash of lightning is a sign of this meeting. Such a charge of light can be very hot, up to 20,000 degrees Celsius. It can be up to 5 km long.
            Lightning can do damage to buildings, cars or other objects when it hits.  It can also kill or injure human beings. During a thunderstorm people should stay away from doors, windows and electrical devices.  You should also stay away from phones and wires because lightning can travel through them. When you’re in the open do not try to protect yourself by hiding under a tree. You can protect your house or other buildings surrounding your home by installing a lightning rod on the roof. It attracts the lighting that would otherwise hit the building and leads it to the surface. Lightning can also have positive effects. It produces nitrates and other compounds when it is created in the air. These nutrients fall down to Earth and enrich the soil for good farming.

A.    where lighting usually happens and when it happens
