How to Transplant a
Mango Tree
Mango trees are a tropical species
that produces sweet, oval fruit about the size of a pear. The outer skin of a
mango fruit is light green, with peach or pink-colored inner flesh.
The following are the steps of transplanting
a mango tree.
1. Choose an area near the south side
of a home or near a paved area to help heat the soil.
2. Place potted mango trees into the
chosen location and leave them in direct sunlight for one week to help them acclimatize.
Monitor them daily and add water if the leaves start to wilt.
3. Dig a trench around the base of a
planted mango tree, staying at least 1½ to 2 feet away from the trunk. The trench
should be approximately 5 to 6 inches deep. Then begin digging out the soil
under the mango roots. Be careful not to cut them with the shovel.
4. Grasp the base of the trunk and
gently lift the mango tree out of the soil with the help of another person if needed.
Place it in a wheelbarrow to make transporting it easier.
5. Measure the width of the root ball
using a tape measure and dig a hole at the new location that is twice as wide as
the roots. Make the hole the same depth as that of the root system. Loosen up
the sides of the hole by hitting with a shovel. Place a small mound of dirt
into the bottom of the hole.
6. Insert the mango root ball into the
center of the hole and arrange the roots over the top of the mound. Back fill
the hole with soil until it is full.
7. Create a 4-inch-tall circle of soil
around the base of the mango tree, using any remaining soil or additional
topsoil if needed. Fill the inside of the circle with water until it reaches
the top and allow the water to soak down into the soil.

It would be
good for us to reduce our red meat intake.
First, we
can be healthier. Vegetarians are 30%less likely to suffer from heart disease
meat eaters. By eating a low-fat, nutritious diet, people can lower the risk of
heart disease. Red meat contains protein, but is high in fat and cholesterol.
By reducing our red meat intake, we can lower the risk of heart disease.
Second, we
can help feed more people. How? Well, a piece of land that’s big enough to
breed cattle, to feed two people would feed sixty, if planted with maize.
Finally, we
can be more economical. If we don’t buy red meat, we can buy cheaper meat such
as chicken and fish. Both are low in fat but high in protein. So, we can still eat
healthily at less expense.
Based on
the facts, would you still need to eat red meat?

The
following text is for questions no 14-16
Flowering
plants are divided into two groups. They are dicotyledons or dicots and monocotyledons
or monocots.
Dicots are
seeds that have two parts, such as a bean seed. A bean seed that has soaked in
water for a day or two has a soft outside covering. This is the seed coat. The
seed coat would probably slip off the seed easily. The bean seed has a slit
going down the middle of the seed. Inside is a tiny plant called an embryo. The
two large parts of the seeds are called cotyledons. They supply the food for
the young plant when it’s growing. The bean seed has two cotyledons.
Monocots
are seeds that only have one cotyledon, such as the corn seed. The corn seed
does have a seed coat, but it does not slip off as easily as the bean seed. The
corn seed will not split like the bean seed. It stays in one piece. One
cotyledon surrounds the embryo. It is a lighter color than the rest of the seed
and is called the endosperm. It provides food for the growing plant.
14.
Among the following, which one is NOT monocotyledon?
A.
Rice
B.
Palm
C.
Corn
D.
Mango
E.
Coconut
15. It
provides food for the growing plant. (par. 3)
What is
synonym of the underlined word?
A.
Takes
B. Throws
C. Supplies
D. Produces
E. Launches
16.
Why
does bean seed belong to dicot?
A. It contains two cotyledons.
B. It does not slip off easily.
C. It contains endosperm.
D. It has no seed coat.
E. It cannot be split.

The squid
is a marine animal that has eight to ten limbs coming out of its mouth.
It only
lives in water but can be found in a variety of locations, where temperatures
differ. It can also be found in both fresh and salt water. Its body is very
soft which is why it makes a nice meal for so many predators.
The overall
size of a squid can vary depending on the species. Some of them are only 24
inches long while others are more than 40 feet in length. The heaviest squid
was found in 2007 around New Zealand. It was more than 1,000 pounds. The body
of a squid may seem very unique, but it definitely serves its purpose in the
water.
As a squid
moves through the water, it stretches in the mantle area. This is going to
force water to move through the funnel. You will notice that it moves tail
first through the water. It is very quick as well as agile water. When a squid
feels it is in danger, it releases a dark ink, as it tries to make a rapid
escape.
It is
believed that the squid is one of the invertebrates with the highest level of
intelligence. It is extremely active and seems to do quite well when it comes
to adapting to the changing environment. Some people wonder it is considered to
be a mollusk. It is due to its horny plate, buried under its mantle.

A
watermelon is a fresh and delicious fruit. Eating watermelon is good for us.
First,
watermelons contain high water (92%) but have no cholesterol content, so it is
good for those who are on a diet. Watermelons not only quench your thirst but
can also make you slim and beautiful.
Second,
watermelons contain Vitamins A and C (like most fruit). They also contain
Vitamin B6 which is thought to be good for energy, B5, B2 and smaller amounts
of B1. Vitamin C boosts your immune system and fights against sickness and
diseases.In addition; it can improve medical conditions like cataract. So you
can avoid illnesses and disease by consuming this fruit.
Next,
watermelons are rich in Lycopene, a source of the potent carotenoid
antioxidant. Lycopene is the red pigment also found in tomatoes. This nutrient
neutralizes free radicals in the system and reduces incidence of certain types
of cancers especially prostate cancer, breast, lung and cancer of the uterus.
Finally, watermelons
are also great for sunburns or skin blemishing. Some women use them by applying
the red flesh on the face. One way is, apply a small piece liberally on your
face, leave for ten minutes, then wash off with warm water, followed by a
splash of cold water. This replenishes and lightens face complexion.
