In autumn, yhe color of the leaves changes into beautiful yellow, red, and brown. Do you know how this happens? To answer that question, first we have to understand about leaves.
The plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose. The processis called photsynthesis and the substance that helps this photosynthesis process is called chlorophyll. This chlorophyll makes plants look green.
As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter. The trees “ know” that they have to be ready for winter. During winter, there is not enought sunlight or water for the photosynthesis process. The trees will rest, and use the food that they have stored during summer. The trees begin to close their food factories. The green clorophyll substance disappears from the leaves. As the leaves begin to lose their green color, they change into beautifull yellow and orange.
In some trees, like maple tree, glucose is trapped in the leaves after the photosynthesis process stops. Sunlight and cool rights turn the green color of the leaves into red. Oak leaves become brown because of wastes that are left in the leaves. This combination of red and brown makes the trees look very beautiful in autumn.
1. What substance that helps sunlight tonturn water and carbon dioxide into glucose on plants? a. Photosynthesis
b. Cholorophyll c. Chloroplast d. Saltpetre e. Food
2. In autumn the leave color change into.... a. Brown, red, yellow

Oil deposits lie hidden deep beneath the surface of the earth. They have to be searched for. The oil production process involves several steps.
First, explanation teams are sent by the oil companies to several regions to search for oil deposits. If the exploration shows good results, the comany decides to drill a well. Thus, the production phase begins.
At the beginning of the production phase, gas presure causes the crude oil to gush out with great force. After some time, the gas pressure is less and a pumping station must be built to bring up the oil.
Then, crude oil has to be transported to a refinery where the crude oil is processed and refined into more useful petroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosene, diese fuel, lubricants and asphalt. Further processing gives aviation fuel, greases, fertilizers, insecticide, man-made fibers, and many other things.
The rising demand for oil product keep the oil companies busy exploring new oil field and drilling new wells.
1. What makes the oil companies busy exploring new oil fields and drilling new wells? 2. Explain the generic structure of this text briefly and clearly
