6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions. (7
marks)
Some animals in northern countries
have a way to adapt to long, cold winter weather. It is called
hibernation. Hibernation is like deep sleep. This allows the animals to save
their energy when there is no food. These animals’ bodies go through several
changes during their hibernation. For example, the bear is the largest animal
that hibernates. Its heart normally beats 40 to 50 times per minute. When
the bear is hibernating, its heart beats only 8 to 12 times per minute. Its
body temperature also drops.
Some animals hibernate all winter
without waking. Other animals wake up now and then to eat some of the food they
have stored for winter.
When the weather becomes colder in
the autumn, a substance called Hibernation Inducement Trigger (HIT) becomes
active in the blood of animals that hibernate. The HIT makes the animals start
to prepare for winter by either storing food or eating a lot to add more fat to
their bodies. This fat helps their bodies to keep warm and is a source of energy
during the animals’ hibernation.

questions. (7

Natural resources are materials found on the earth. They include air, water,
and land. They also include rocks, minerals, and soil. Even living things are
natural resources. Some of earth's resources can be used and replaced over and
over again. These are called renewable resources. Others cannot be replaced
quickly. These are called nonrenewable resources.
Examples of renewable resources are fresh air, water, trees, other living
things. People cut down trees to use their wood to build and make paper.
If a tree is cut, another can be planted in its place. As it grows, it helps
supply living things with oxygen, which is another important resource. Animals
are used for food by other living things and they can reproduce naturally.
Coal, oil, copper, silver, and gold are all examples of nonrenewable resources.
These substances and materials are available in limited amounts and cannot be
replaced quickly. Coal and oil deposits يترسب beneath the earth
formed millions of years ago. These resources are the result of the decay of
certain plants and animals. Natural resources are necessary for life on earth.
Someday these precious materials will run out. We need to protect them by reducing,
reusing, and recycling them.
