A.
SCANNING
TO FIND SPECIFIC
INFORMATION
The scanning skill involves questions that refer to
detailed informatiom such as who, what, which, why, etc.Besidesthe scanning
skill, this unit also deals with questions asking for implied details.this
means that the information is not always stated in the text, but it is drawn
from conclusion.

LOCATING THE SOURCE OF INFORMATION
SAMPLE PASSAGE
Art
clokey has been delighting children with his animationtechniques since 1953.He
uses a technique called stop-motion in which he films caly figures, stop the
filming, and then repositions the figures to continue the film.When the film is
completed, his clay figures move around to act out his stories.Perhaps, the
best known of Clokwy’s tridimensonal animated characters is “ Gumby” , a little
green slab clay who has been around since 1956.

Exercise 1
Read the passage below, and answer the questons that
follow
Dissolved
oxygen analysis measures the amount of gaseous oxygen (O2) dissolved in an
aqueous solution.Oxygen gets into water by diffusion from the surrounding air,
by aeration(rapid movement) , and as a waste product of photosynthesis.
Total
dissolved gas concentrations in water should not exceed 110 percent.
Concentration above this level can be harmful to aquatic life. Fish in waters
containing excessive dissolved gasses may suffer from ‘gas bubble disease’
however, this is a very rare occurence.
Adequate
dissolved oxygen is necessary for good water quality.Oxygen is a necessary
element to all forms of life. Natural stream purification processes require
adequate oxygen levels in water drop below 5.0 mg/l, aquatic life is put under
stress.The lower the concentration, the greater the stress.Oxygen levels that
remain below 1-2 mg/l for a few hours can result in large fish kills.
Where in the passage does the writer
1.
Discuss how water gets oxygen ?
2.
Mention the negative effect off too much dissolved
gasses ?
3.
Explain the importance of oxygen in the water ?
4.
Mention what may have impact on stress
