       Traveling is one of the most popular forms of recreation in the USA. Most American employees receive an annual vacation with pay, and it is a good time off for traveling. Traveling within the country is popular because foreign travel generally takes more time and money. However, Americans who wish to vacation outside the USA are free to go almost anywhere. Obtaining a passport is a routine matter. Every year about 13 million Americans travel abroad. The most popular vacation periods are during the summer and during the two-week school break on the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. These periods are also the most crowded and generally the most expensive time to travel, so people who can adjust their schedules sometimes choose vacation in the autumn. American vacationers often travel by car. Most families have a car, and those who do not have a car can rent one. Cars are usually the economical way to travel, especially for the families.

Read the following passage and mark to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

  Over a period of time, many habitats change with respect to the types of plants and animals that live there. This change is known as succession

Succession  occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the environment in which they live. The first weeds and grasses that appear on a bare field, for example, change the environment  by shielding the soil from the direct sunlight. As these plants spread, the ground surface becomes cooler and moisture, than it was originally. Thus, the environment at the ground surface has been changed. The new surface conditions favor the sprouting of shrubs. As shrubs grow, they kill the grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also build up the soil in the area, in addition,  they attract animals that also enhance the shrubs. They are not able to shade out oak and hickory seedlings, however, they have found the forest floor suitable. These seedlings grow in to large trees that eventually shade out the pines.
