News report one

A NASA satellite orbiting over Portugal took photographs that reveal the

effects of pollution from ships. One of the photos shows a thin film of clouds

above the brilliant blue of the north Atlantic, cut by white lines of thicker clouds

that look like scars. (1) NASA officials explained those thicker clouds are signs of

ship traffic below when ships power their way through the ocean, they pump

exhaust into the atmosphere. Just as cars do.

And those massive amounts of particles can cause clouds to form, get enough

of those particles in one place as from the exhaust of a ship. And they can lead to

the creation of new clouds easily visible from space. These clouds can be huge.

Some of them stretch hundreds of kilometers from end to end. (2) NASA officials

said it's likely that these sorts of clouds are having some effect on the global

climate, according to NASA officials.

But scientists aren't yet sure what effect it has. questions one and two are

based on the news report you have just heard.

Question 1 What has caused the thick clouds in the photos taken by a NASA

satellite?

Question 2 What do NASA officials think about the thick clouds?

News report two

Staff at a suburban supermarket in Melbourne say they feel unsafe at work

after security guards were removed. This came after a series of physical attacks and

verbal abuse by customers. (3) More than 50 workers at the store have signed a

letter calling for a permanent security guard following a series of incidents,

including a customer threatening to attack a supervisor with a knife. A security

worker had guard at the storm each night from seven pm until 12 am.

But that had stopped suddenly on Monday, employees said. One worker said

an angry customer had thrown a chicken at his head after complaining about how

long she had waited to be served. Another worker said the lack of protection at the

storm made her feel uncomfortable at work. (4) However, the spokesman of the

supermarket said the store had taken strong action in response to incidents. We

have found very few instances of bad customer behavior at our store in the past

year. In the rare cases, we have seen bad behavior. We have taken strong action in

response, including banning a customer from the store.

Question 3 For what purpose did this staff at a supermarket in Melbourne sign

a letter?

Question 4 What did the spokesman of the supermarkets say regarding the

employees demand?

New report three

(5) Drivers on their way to the polish capital of Warsaw on Wednesday

morning found the road blocked by an unusual obstacle. Tons of liquid chocolate

that spilled onto the motorway. A truck carrying the sweet load hit a road barrier

and overturned, blocking two lanes. (6) The cracked tank spilled a pool of a rapidly

hardening chocolate, which quickly covered the width of the road, while the driver

was taken to hospital with a broken arm, firefighters struggled to remove a

reported 12 tons of solid chocolate from the road. (7) A representative for the

firefighters told the local TV that removing the chocolate was worse than dealing

with snow. After contacting the chocolate manufacturer, the firefighters resorted

to spraying hot, pressurized water to get rid of the sticky substance. The local TV

also noted that the cleanup spanned more than a Mile because drivers simply

drove through the chocolate after the crash, leaving a long chocolate trail. But

despite the sticky situation, firefighters and police attending to the cleanup were

reportedly cheerful about the long task ahead. After all, who could be mad about

12 tons of chocolate?
