A
Mr. Carter gathered his students around him before their hiking trip to the mountain reserve. With a serious expression, he began to announce the safety rules they must follow.
"First things first," he said, "check your footwear. Are all of you wearing sturdy hiking boots and thick cotton socks? This kind of shoe can protect your feet from sharp stones and wet ground."
All the students nodded and showed their shoes to him.
"Good. Next, when we're walking along the mountain trails, never get close to the edges. The path is narrow in some places, and a small misstep could lead to a fall down the slope," Mr. Carter warned. "Also, stay in the group at all times. No one is allowed to wander off alone, or you might get lost in the woods."
"I'm so hungry," Tom muttered, rubbing his stomach. "Can we have our snacks now? I brought chocolate bars."
"Not now, Tom," Mr. Carter replied. "You had a big breakfast an hour ago. We'll have our picnic when we reach the halfway point at noon. And another thing — don't finish all your water at once. You'll need to save some for the afternoon, when the weather gets hotter."
"Can we try rock climbing when we get to the rocky area?" Lisa asked excitedly.
Mr. Carter shook his head. "Rock climbing is not on our plan today, and it's dangerous without professional equipment. Also, watch out for falling rocks when we pass the cliff area. Alright, let's get moving! The first part of the trail is flat and easy, but it will get steep as we go higher."
1. What did Mr. Carter ask the students to check first?
A. Their food and water
B. Their hiking footwear
C. Their hiking bags
D. Their mobile phones
2. Why did Mr. Carter warn the students not to get close to the trail edges?
A. Because there were many wild animals there
B. Because the edges were covered with sharp stones
C. Because they might fall down the slope
D. Because the ground was wet and slippery
3. When would the students have their picnic?
A. In the morning
B. At noon, at the halfway point
C. In the afternoon
D. When they reached the mountain top
4. What was Lisa's suggestion that Mr. Carter refused?
A. Having snacks early
B. Wandering off alone
C. Trying rock climbing
D. Drinking all the water at once
5. What could the students expect about the later part of the trail?
A. It would become steep
B. It would be full of wild animals
C. It would be wider and smoother
D. It would lead to a rocky area for climbing
B
After hiking for nearly eight hours, my two friends and I were completely exhausted. As soon as we set up our tent in the valley, we fell into a deep sleep.
Sometime in the middle of the night, a strange rustling sound woke me up. I climbed out of the tent quietly and looked around, but there was nothing unusual in the moonlight.
When I got up to prepare breakfast the next morning, I found the bag of biscuits and dried meat was wide open.
"Bears must have been here," Joe said with a worried look. "We should hang the food bag on a high branch tonight so they can't reach it."
Later that day, we found a lovely grassland beside a clear stream. We put up our tent again and soon fell asleep after a tiring day's walk.
However, the bears visited our camp again during the night. This time, they easily took the food bag right off the tree.
"The branch wasn't high enough," Ben explained. "Bears are good at climbing trees, and their sense of smell is strong enough to find food from miles away."
"We need to keep our camp clean," I added. "If we leave rubbish around, bears might think it's food and come to our camp again."
"Let's clean up the camp and leave here early tomorrow," Joe suggested. "And we should make some noise while walking. If bears know we're nearby, they may stay away from us."
"But if you ever come face to face with a bear," Ben warned us seriously, "don't make any sudden moves or loud sounds. Most importantly, never run — bears can run much faster than humans in the forest. And don't forget, we don't have any tools to protect ourselves!"
That night, we tried to sleep, but none of us could really relax.
The next day, we stopped for a rest at eleven o'clock. While Joe and Ben were lying on the grass, I decided to take a short walk in the nearby forest.
Suddenly, I spotted a baby bear playing with some sticks and small stones. It looked cute and harmless, and a silly thought came to my mind: "If I stretch out my hand, I can touch its soft fur."
A loud growl came from behind me. I froze immediately, not daring to move a muscle or even turn my head. Another growl followed, much louder than the first one. The baby bear looked up, then ran towards me quickly. I turned pale with fear, but it just rushed past me and disappeared into the woods.
I stood there like a statue for several minutes. Then I slowly turned around, and I saw the baby bear walking away with its huge mother not far behind.
I ran back to my friends as fast as I could — I had never run that fast in my whole life.
For the next ten days, every little sudden noise made my heart beat fast with fear.

Going camping in the wild is an exciting activity, but it also comes with many risks, especially when there is a chance of meeting wild animals. Bears are one of the most common dangerous animals that campers may encounter in mountain forests. Here are some important tips to keep safe from bears during your camping trip.
First, always store your food properly. Bears have an excellent sense of smell and can find food from a long distance. Never leave food in your tent, and don't put food bags on low tree branches — bears are skilled climbers. The best way is to use a bear-proof container to store your food, or hang the food bag at least four meters high between two trees.
Second, keep your campsite clean. Don't leave any rubbish, leftover food or dirty dishes around your tent. Bears will be attracted by the smell of rubbish and may think it's food. You should pack all your rubbish and take it away with you when you leave the campsite.
Third, make some noise while hiking in the forest. Bears usually avoid humans, so talking or singing loudly can let them know you are coming and give them time to leave. However, if you do meet a bear, never run away. Running will make the bear think you are prey and chase you. Instead, stay calm, stand still and slowly back away.
By following these simple rules, you can reduce the chance of meeting a bear and have a safe and enjoyable camping trip.

Fear is a natural feeling that everyone experiences in their life. It is our body's way of protecting us from danger. For example, when you see a wild animal, your heart beats faster and you may feel like running away — this is your brain telling you to stay away from possible danger.
However, sometimes fear can stay with us even after the danger is gone. This is what happened to the writer after he met the mother bear and her baby in the forest. For the next ten days, every sudden noise made him feel scared. This kind of lingering fear is common when people have a scary experience.
But fear is not always a bad thing. In fact, a little bit of fear can help us stay careful and avoid taking unnecessary risks. For example, the fear of falling makes us walk carefully on a steep mountain trail. The fear of getting lost makes us stay close to our group during a hike.
The key is to learn how to manage our fear. When we feel scared, we should try to stay calm and think about what we should do instead of panicking. By facing our fear bravely, we can turn a scary experience into a lesson that helps us grow stronger.
16. What is fear according to the passage?
A. A feeling that only humans experience
B. A way that our body protects us from danger
C. A bad feeling that we should get rid of completely
D. A feeling that makes us take unnecessary risks
17. Why did the writer feel scared at every sudden noise after meeting the bears?
A. Because he was still in the forest with the bears
B. Because he had a scary experience with the bears
C. Because his friends played tricks on him
D. Because he was afraid of getting lost in the forest
18. Which of the following is a good effect of fear according to the passage?
A. It makes us run away from everything
B. It helps us stay careful and avoid risks
C. It makes us panic when we are in danger
D. It stays with us even after the danger is gone
19. What is the key to managing fear according to the passage?
A. Running away from the source of fear as fast as possible
B. Ignoring the fear and doing whatever we want
C. Staying calm and thinking about what to do instead of panicking
D. Asking for help from others immediately

A Scary but Unforgettable Camping Trip
Last summer, I went camping in the mountain forest with my two best friends. We were excited to enjoy the beautiful nature, but we didn’t expect a scary experience that we would never forget.
On the first night, we were woken up by a strange noise. The next morning, we found our food bag was open. We realized that bears had visited our camp, so we hung the new food bag on a tree branch. However, the bears came again and took the food away easily, because the branch wasn’t high enough. The most frightening moment was when I saw a baby bear playing nearby. Suddenly, a loud growl came, and I froze. Then I saw the huge mother bear standing behind the baby one. I ran back to my friends as fast as I could.
Although the trip was scary, it taught me how to stay safe while camping. It has become an unforgettable memory in my life.
