Holly Meade has been illustrating children's books since 1991. Before that, she worked as

an artist for a magazine and a flag company. In 1997, the American Library Society awarded

her a prize called Caldecott Honour for illustrating the story "Hush! A Thai Lullaby". Caldecott

Honour is an award only given to some of the best illustrators of American picture books for

children.

Holly Meade uses watercolour paints, and cut or torn paper to create her artwork. Just as

authors revise their stories, artists often have to change their illustrations several times. Holly

Meade says that she makes hundreds of drawings for each picture book she illustrates.

"Working on the story, Cocoa Ice ,was exciting," says Holly Meade. She found it a

challenge because she could illustrate both a warm, tropical place and a cold, wintry one in the

same book. "This story has made me more interested in my artistic career. I hope I will be able

to produce more works like that", said Holly Meade one day.

Fitness is used in two meanings: general fitness (health and well-being) and specific fitness (a

task that based on the ability to do particular aspects of sports).

Fitness is the ability of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, and muscles to function at the best

efficiency. In previous years, it was known as the ability to do the day’s activities without the

feeling of tiredness. But nowadays, as a result of the changes in lifestyles following the

industrial revolution, this definition is not enough.

Efficiency is the best key. Fitness is now known as the body’s ability to function efficiently

to be healthy, to resist diseases, and to meet emergency situations. Fitness can also be divided

into four types: First, aerobic fitness that makes your heart and lungs work hard like swimming

and roller-skating. Second, resistance fitness (muscular strength and endurance) that builds up

your muscles like press-ups and weight lifting. Third, stretching fitness that makes you flexible

like yoga. Finally, body composition which contains all types of exercises.

A) Choose the correct answer from a, b , c or d: (4x2 =8 Marks)

3- A fit person is able to resist…………………….
