Questions 30-34 refer to the story below.

Look out for Your Predators!

Small fish and other animals have to keep safe from predators. Some
fish swim together in big groups called shoals. In a shoal, there are more fish to look
out for predators. There are also lots of fish to eat. So if a fish is lucky, the predator
eats one of the other fish!

The leafy sea dragon can act as camouflage from its enemy. When it
hides in seaweed, other fish can’t see it. Octopuses camouflage themselves by
turning a different color. When an octopus is scared, it can also make a big cloud of

A
black ink. This causes predators puzzled and gives the octopus time to swim away.
When the porcupine fish sees a predator, it drinks a lot of water. This affects its
body to be huge and round like a ball, and its spines stand up.
PE
A fish like angler fish lures others to come close to catch it as prey
easily. The angler fish are so smart that they have a small light on its head. Little fish
think the light is food. So when they swim near, the angler fish eats them.

Questions 35-40 refer to the story below.

Floods
Floods can happen after or during heavy rainfall. Heavy rainfall in
Thailand is usually caused by monsoons. The monsoon seasons are distinct by
region. In the southern part, it begins in October and ends in March. Others have
monsoons and frequent thunderstorms from the end of April through October.

The excess of water can damage people’s property, infrastructures

including roads, bridges, schools and hospitals, and even wash cars away.

A
Flooding can be very dangerous to human. If it happens quickly
without any warnings, we can be stranded and have no way of escape. Some
people are stuck on their rooftops as they ran away from the sudden flooding. We
have to watch out for our electricity damage as well. Last but not least, people
PE
whose houses are flooded need to evacuate and be provided a shelter as it is not
safe to stay in their own house. Some scientists say that some island countries like
Britain and the Maldives will possibly suffer more heavy rainfall and floods.
