Read the following passage and answer the questions 6-10.   

Money is not only coins and banknotes, it is anything that people are willing to use in order to represent the value of other things for the purpose of exchanging goods and services. Money enables people to compare quickly and easily the value of different commodities (such as fish and shoes), to exchange one thing for another, and to store wealth conveniently. There have been many types of money. The most familiar is the coin, which is a standardizer piece of imprinted metal. Yet money existed long before the invention of coins, and cultures have prospered using other things as currency, such as cowries, cattle, skins, salt, grains, beads, cloth and promissory notes. In modern prisons, cigarettes have often served as money. Nowadays people do not have to carry money when they go for shopping, they can use debit or cash cards. These cards are also called plastic money.

Even a few years ago very few people had even heard of the word Internet. Now it would be difficult to find anyone who has not heard of it. Many of us use it on a regular basis, and most of us have access to it at our homes too. The 'net' in the Internet stands for network. A network is two or more computers connected together so that information can be shared or sent from one to the other. The Internet is a vast resource for all types of information. You may enjoy using it to do research, download your favourite song or communicate with family and friends. It is like a giant bulletin board for the whole world to see. Since anyone can put anything on the Internet, one must be very careful and use both judgement and common sense while accessing and using İnternet sources.

In Bangladesh folk music has great variety, with songs being composed on the culture, festivals, views of life, natural beauty, rivers and rural and riverine life. These songs are also about social inequality and poverty, about the material world and the supernatural. Mystical songs have been composed using the metaphors of river and boats.

Read the following passage and answer questions 11-15:  

An alloy is a substance that is formed by combining a metal with other metals, or nonmetals. For example, brass is an alloy of the metals copper and zinc, and steel is alloy of the metal iron with the nonmetal carbon. The special characteristics of metals, such as hardness, strength, flexibility, and weight are called its properties. By the process of alloying, it is possible to create materials with the exact combinations of properties for particular use.  

In the aircraft industry, there is a need for metals that are both strong and light. Steel is strong but too heavy, whereas aluminum is light but not strong. By mixing aluminum with copper and other metals, an alloy is created that is strong to withstand the stresses of flight, but light enough to reduce the cost of fuel to lift the aircraft. 

There is an important difference between the alloys created by us and the combination of metals that occur accidentally as impure metals. Both are mixtures, but alloys are mixtures that have been deliberately combined in specific proportions for definite purpose.

English Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow (1-5):  

The earth is about 4.5 billion years old, and during its life, the climate has changed quite often and the planet has experienced an Ice Age, warming, and everything in between. Scientists agree that the Earth's average temperature has increased by about 1.8°F over the past 200 years. It may not sound like a big change, but it will influence the earth. The earth is covered like a greenhouse, which is used by some farmers, florists, and others to grow plants. A greenhouse is a 'glass-covered building that absorbs the heat from the sun. It is usually very hot. Of course, the earth is not covered with glass, but the greenhouse effect refers to the retention of the sun's warmth in the earth's lower atmosphere by greenhouse gases. The greenhouse gases include mostly carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gases (instead of glass) act as a blanket for the earth, helping to keep the earth warm enough to support life, at an average temperature of about 59°F. An increase in the greenhouse gases causes the earth to become warmer. Think of it as a heavier blanket. The 'blanket' is created by the gases released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels-such as oil, coal, and natural gas – are burned.

The loss of environmental purity is the price that we pay for many of the benefits of modern technology. We now have cars and buses on our roads and highways, but we risk suffering from smoke and dust-induced diseases. We have to build factories and expand our cities, but in the process our forest lands are shrinking which is reducing our wildlife. Many countries use nuclear power, but there is always the risk of radiation. By increasing agricultural production with fertilizers, we pollute our water bodies. The highly developed nations of the world are not only the immediate beneficiaries of the good that technology brings: they are also the first victims of environmental diseases that technology breeds. In the past, the environmental effects which accompanied technological progress were limited to small areas, but in our time, the hazards are really widespread. Today's air new pollutions, for example, cover vast areas of the world and can cause health problems for millions.

Singapore ranked by the World Bank as the second most densely populated country of the world, imports more than 90 percent of its food. Singapore produced nearly 22,000 tons of vegetables in 2013, compared with a little more than 17,000 tons in 2004. Last year, it imported 514,574 tons of vegetables. While Singapore ranks fifth out of 109 countries in the Economist Intelligence Unit's global food security index, the government wants to diversify its food sources and become more self-reliant in producing eggs, fish and leafy vegetable. As part of its efforts, it has provided some funding and research support to local vertical farming company Sky Greens, which grows leafy vegetables: at its farm in three-storey high frames inside greenhouses.
