Although the Arabian camel can go without drinking for a long while, its hump does not store water as is commonly believed. The real secret of the animal's unusual ability to store water lies in the fact that very little of the camel's water is lost by evaporation through the skin. Instead of sweating out great quantities of water, the camel's body temperature rises, sometimes as much as eleven degrees to compensate for external heat.

When a camel does require water it replaces only the amount lost since it's last drink

In Egypt, between November and April, the camel can go for three or four months without drinking if it grazes in lush pastures where dew and showers keep the vegetation green. If only dry feed Is available, the camel will get thirsty after several weeks-even during January.

The length of time a camel can go without drinking is greatly determined by time of year, force of wind, heat in the air, intensity of sunlight, amount of reflected heat, kind of feed, weight of the load carried, speed the animal travels, and number of hours  spent daily in travel.

 63.The purpose of this article is to ------------.

a. compare camels with other animals                              

b. disprove a belief

c. entertain

d. give information on life in Egypt

 

 64.Camels retain the water they drink chiefly by------------.

a. eating lush vegetation                  c. not perspiring

b. inactivity                                      d. eating dry   feed

 

65. The real purpose of a camel's hump is ------------.

a. not mentioned                               c. to carry huge loads

b. to evaporate water                       d. to store food instead of water

66- The camel sweats very little because------------.

a. glandular deficiencies do not permit it.

b. it has no pores in its skin

c. its body temperature rises as external temperature increases

d. it is immune to the heat

Reading 4

        Regular tune-ups of your heating system will cut heating costs and will most likely increase the lifetime and safety of the system. When a service technician performs a tune-up,he or she should test the efficiency of your heating system. The technician should measure theefficiency of your system both before and after servicing it and provide you with a copy of theresults. Combustion efficiency is determined indirectly, based on some of the following tests:

 1. temperature of the flue (or chimney); 2. percent carbon dioxide or percent oxygen in the atmosphere; 3. presence of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere; and 4. draft.

Incomplete combustion of fuel is the main contributor to low efficiency. If the technicianCan not raise the combustion efficiency up to a least 75% after tuning your heating system, you should consider installing a new system or at least modifying your present system to increase its efficiency.

 

69. The passage suggests that the presence of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere: ------------

a. is found in 75% of heating systems tested.

b. can be reduced by decreasing heating system draft.

c. is the main cause of low efficiency in heating systems.

d. is more reliable than flue temperature as an indicator of combustion efficiency.

  

70. According to the passage, when performing a tune-up of a heating system,

the service technician should: ------------.

a. ensure that the combustion efficiency is at least 75%.

b. modify the heating system before initially measuring efficiency.

c. measure combustion efficiency both before and after servicing the system.

d. provide his or her supervisor with a written report of the system's efficiency.
