Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.
Have you ever been to Britain? I've dreamed of going there I was a little girl and finally, the spring of 2012, it happened. I was there three weeks and much of that time soaking up the culture, history, and scenery of this incredible island. I visited several districts in England, Wales and Scotland and even a side trip to Ireland. Every place I went to seemed to be more interesting and more beautiful the last.
The tour I was with began in London. Of all the sights I saw there, the Tower of London was the most . The Tower is a building complex of incredibly rich history. Also on the Thames are the Houses of Parliament and, of course, the clock tower housing "Big Ben". I saw so many landmarks I can hardly remember them all. Although it was just a glimpse of London I did, , get a chance to see all the famous places.
After of days in London we traveled to south of England stopping to visit Stonehenge. If you don't know about Stonehenge there are a couple of links on my links page that will you to sites that can fill you in.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Cricket-how I detested this game when I was young! My family would spend hours and hours watching it on television while I angrily waited for it to end. Every game seemed the same. Yes, one team won and the other one lost, but it was always the same game-some men pitching a ball, some running back and forth.
Then something happened. I became old enough to start playing cricket myself with the other kids in my neighborhood. We found a place to play wherever we could put up a wicket. We played on the street, in the backyard-even on the tops of buildings, believe it or not!
I can recall so clearly the sounds of the ball hitting the bat and the quick running feet. I can still feel the sun on my face as I played and the bruises and scratches from falling down. I can still see the blue sky fading to darkness behind the buildings as our games continued into the night. It became my favorite thing in the world. Now I watch it not with anger, but with fond memories of the endless days and nights spent playing the game.

Dealing with waste plastic
Every year people throw millions of tons of plastic bottles, boxes and wrapping. These create huge mountains of waste that are extremely hard to get of. Now a new recycling process promises to reduce this problem by turning old plastic new.
Scientists have taken a long time to develop their ideas because waste plastic has always been a bigger problem 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 products, for , bottles, can be reused, 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 recycling that could save almost all plastic waste. Nearly every type of waste plastic can be used: it does have to be sorted. In addition, labels and ink may be left on the products. Everything is simply mixed together heated to more than 400 degrees centigrade that it melts. It is then cooled, producing a waxy substance that can be used to make new plastic products, including computer hardware.
