Hummingbirds are among the smallest of birds and
are native to America. They can move their wings very
quickly- 12-90 times per second. They can also fly
backwards, and are the only birds able to do so. Their
English name derives from the characteristic hum
made by their rapid wing beats. Hummingbirds feed
on the nectar of plants and are important pollen
carriers like bees. As nectar is a poor source of
nutrients, hummingbirds meet their needs for protein,
vitamins, minerals, etc. by eating insects and spiders.
Hummingbirds, like most organisms with very rapid
metabolisms, have short life-spans and many die
during their first year. Those that do survive their first
year have an average life span of 3 to 4 years.
Are air conditioners healthy devices? The

C)
D)
E)
At the cooling mode, the refrigerant gas is
evaporated
If we stay in the way of the air blown out, we
may catch a cold
The piping system is made of copper to make
heat transfer easy
Carpets and rugs should be cleaned regularly
to prevent bacteria accumulation

83.-85. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya gore cevaplayınız.
Most children behave aggressively from time to time.
Expressing aggression may vary from child to child.
Some children could experience nervous breakdowns
and may cry, shout or prefer not to talk. On the other
hand, some may demonstrate aggressive behaviour.
Though dealing with aggression of the children is
difficult for parents, doctors indicate that it’s perfectly
natural for children to have such tendencies. Doctors
state that these children shouldn’t be forced to
behave themselves. Instead, parents should talk to
these children and try to understand the reasons for
this kind of behaviour. Unless these reasons are
determined and eliminated, misbehaviour will
continue.
Those of us who avoid junk food may still be eating it
from time to time. The introduction of corn as a cheap
universal feed, for chickens, cows, even for fish; has
the consumption of starch nearly unescapable in the
past thirty years. This means that is impossible to
avoid getting extra calories from our daily food intake.
One solution to avoid this can be consuming
naturally-raised animals, however, it is more
expensive than most people can afford. There are
regulations about the amount of starch in farm
animals, however, very few food companies really
care about this.

The prediction of earthquakes is a very difficult
process. Actually, some scientists consider it
impossible. However, recent research is challenging
this. A group of scientists designed a system which
gathers clues from the nature, animals and the
movements of land. Watch stations in different places
gather data and send them to a headquarters. There,
scientists study the data gathered. They can predict
an earthquake several hours before it takes place if
there is strange animal behaviour which is
accompanied by odd natural phonemenon such as
spring water’s getting extremely hot.
For the last four decades, international migration has
been a one-way journey. Year after year, millions of
people leave poorer countries for wealthier ones and
rural areas for cities. Today, 200 million people are
immigrants, people who have risked their lives and
livelihoods to escape a dead end and pursue a dream.
But now, as one of the most dramatic effects of the
global economic crisis, the humantide is slowing and
is even starting to reverse itself.

Life in cities is getting more and more difficult. The
number of problems city dwellers have to cope with is
increasing. Ever since the industrial revolution, air
and water pollution in cities is getting more severe.
Pollution is about to reach alarming levels and this is
threatening human health. Besides, noise levels and
traffic jams are becoming more and more common.
Thus, people have to cope with much stress in daily
life. They may not realise, but their mental health is
also in danger.
Do we care about the poor and homeless people as
much as we care about animals? This question is
keeping the minds of many people busy. Some
volunteers are picking street animals and offering
them nice places to live. On the other hand, there are
homeless people who have to sleep on the streets.
Some people support that animals shouldn’t be
looked after while there are still homeless people
around. Others emphasize the inadequacy of service
and state that humans should be helped before
animals. This is the issue that needs to be dealt with –
If we care about animals, the same amount of care
should be provided for the homeless.

helped at all
the money spent on helping animals should be

A)
B)
city life is harmful for human health
industrial activity makes all residents in cities
sick
