In general, we will all spend about two-thirds of our life at work. This means that we will probably have 13.1 different jobs over the years.

There is nothing worse than having a boss that you don't like. But of course, you need to work hard and show that you are 13.5 for them to trust you and know that you will do your job well.

(Adapted from Simply PET Preliminary for School)

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Clays and muds and rocks are made of tiny crystals. They are abundant on Earth and probably always have been. When you look at the surface of some types of clay and other minerals with a scanning electron microscope, you see an amazing and beautiful sight. Crystals grow like rows of flowers or cactuses, gardens of inorganic rose petals, tiny spirals like cross-sections of succulent plants, bristling organ pipes, complicated angular shapes folded as if in miniature crystalline origami, writhing growths like worm casts or squeezed toothpaste. The ordered patterns become even more striking at greater levels of magnification. At levels that betray the actual position of atoms, the surface of a crystal is seen to have all the regularity of a machine-woven piece of herringbone tweed. But - and here is the vital point - there are flaws. Right in the middle of an expanse of orderly herringbone, there can be a patch, identical to the rest except that it is twisted round at a different angle so that the “weave” goes off in another direction. Or the weave may lie in the same direction, but each row has “slipped” half a row to one side. Nearly all naturally occurring crystals have flaws. And once a flaw has appeared, it tends to be copied as subsequent layers of crystal encrust themselves on top of it.

What does the passage mainly discuss?

Mineral composition of crystals
Similarity of crystals and material patterns
Artistic formulation of crystals
Interruption of regularity in crystals

The patterns of crystals are best seen when _____.

viewed on the surface
greatly magnified
scanned rapidly
looked at with clear sight

are very small
are completely different from the normal structure if flawed
have flaws in their structure
are visually attractive

The word "encrust" in the last sentence is CLOSEST in meaning to _____.

remove
dissolve
cover
expose

Fill in each blank with ONE best word.

Dealing with waste plastic

Every year people throw away millions of tonnes of plastic bottles, boxes and wrapping. These create huge mountains of waste that are extremely hard to get 19.1 of. Now a new recycling process promises to reduce this problem by turning old plastic 19.2 new material.

Scientists have taken a long time to develop their ideas because waste plastic has always been a bigger problem 19.3 substances like waste paper. You can bury plastic, but it takes many years to break down. If you burn it, it just becomes another form of pollution. A 19.4 products, for example bottles, can be re-used, but it is expensive or difficult to do this with a lot of plastic products.

Now a group of companies has developed a new method of recycling that could save almost all plastic waste. Nearly every type of waste plastic can be used: it does not have to be sorted. In addition, labels and ink may be left 19.5 the products. Everything is simply mixed together and heated to more than 400 degrees centigrade so that it melts. It is then cooled, producing a waxy substance that can be used to make new plastic products, including computer hardware.
