Is Pluto a Planet?
‘Dwarf’ is a very little star
Many people are saying that Pluto is no longer a planet. National Geographic News says that,
according to the International Astronomical Union, a full planet is an object that orbits the sun
and is large enough to have become round due to the force of its own gravity. Because Pluto
doesn't meet these standards, the International Astronomical Union classifies Pluto as a dwarf
planet. Not everyone agrees that this is a good way to decide, though. Andy Cheng, a planetary
scientist at Johns Hopkins University, says that the new rules aren't clear enough and asks the
question “how round is round?” “...I'll still continue to maintain that Pluto is a planet," he said.

Reading
Task 1. Read the text and mark the sentences True or False.
Haiti in Ruins After Huge Earthquake
Television pictures are slowly beginning to show how great the damage is in Haiti
following the huge earthquake on Tuesday. A magnitude 7.3 quake, just 16km from the capital,
hit the Caribbean nation as people were going home after work. Much of the country has been
devastated. Many major buildings in the capital Port-au-Prince have collapsed, including the
Presidential Palace and the UN headquarters. Haiti's President Rene Preval described the scene in
the capital as "unimaginable". The Red Cross says up to 3 million people have been affected. Mr.
Preval fears "well over 100,000 people" may have died.
Haiti's ambassador to the USA, Raymond Joseph, said there was "no way of estimating"
how many casualties there were. Countries around the world are acting quickly to send whatever
help they can to Haiti. Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world. More than half of its
people live below the poverty line on less than two dollars a day. It is one of the poorestequipped
countries on Earth to deal with such a catastrophe. The nation was still trying to recover from
being hit by four deadly hurricanes in 30 days in 2008. Its economy is in ruins and it has a long
history of corruption and coups.
Example: The earthquake that hit Haiti was a magnitude 16 in strength. False
1. Most Haitians were having their breakfast when the earthquake hit. _______
2. The President’s palace was in ruins after the earthquake. _______
3. The article says Haiti’s president believes 3 million people are suffering. _______
4. Haiti’s ambassador to the US has a good idea of casualty figures. _______

At school we always wear a uniform. Girls wear white shirts, blue skirts and red sweaters
with the school emblem. Boys wear white shirts with blue ties and blue trousers. Their sweaters
are red, too. All of our shoes are black. We don’t like our school uniform. After school my first
thing to do is putting off my uniform. I hate skirts and dresses! I like wearing casual clothes. I
often go skateboarding, so my favourite pieces of clothes are very comfortable. I like trousers,
jeans, shorts, T-shirts, jackets, trainers and I have lots of baseball caps. I never wear dresses and
