B In a small town, there lived an old man named Mr. Thompson. He had a beautiful garden that he took care of every day. Children in the neighborhood loved to play near his garden, but Mr. Thompson was always worried that they might damage his flowers. One day, a young boy named Tom accidentally kicked his ball into the garden. He was afraid to ask for it back, thinking Mr. Thompson would be angry. But to his surprise, the old man not only returned the ball but also showed Tom around the garden. "Would you like to help me take care of these flowers?" Mr. Thompson asked. Tom's eyes lit up with excitement. From that day on, Tom visited the garden every afternoon after school. He learned how to water plants, remove weeds, and even plant new flowers. Other children noticed Tom's happiness and wanted to join. Soon, Mr. Thompson's garden became a place where children learned about nature and responsibility. They no longer played carelessly near the flowers; instead, they helped protect them. Years later, when Mr. Thompson passed away, he left the garden to the community. The children, now grown up, continued to take care of it. They taught their own children the same lessons Mr. Thompson had taught them.

Children and Their Hobbies C Have you ever wondered how bees communicate with each other? Unlike humans, bees cannot speak, but they have an amazing way of sharing information - through dance! When a bee finds a good source of flowers with lots of nectar, it returns to the hive and performs a special dance. This dance tells other bees where the flowers are located. The most famous bee dance is called the "waggle dance." In the waggle dance, the bee moves in a figure-eight pattern. The direction of the dance shows the direction of the flowers in relation to the sun. The length of the middle part of the dance tells other bees how far away the flowers are. The faster the bee dances, the closer the flowers are to the hive. Scientists have studied bee dances for many years. They discovered that bees can communicate about food sources up to 10 kilometers away! What's more impressive is that different bee species have their own "dialects" - slight differences in how they perform the dance. This amazing communication system shows how intelligent these small insects are. By working together and sharing information, bees can efficiently find food and help their hive survive. So next time you see a bee dancing, remember - it's having an important conversation with its friends! 1. How do bees communicate with each other? A. By speaking. B. By writing. C. By dancing. D. By singing. 1. What does the length of the middle part of the waggle dance indicate? A. The type of flowers. B. The direction of the sun. C. How far away the flowers are. D. The number of bees in the hive. 1. What have scientists discovered about different bee species? A. They all dance exactly the same way. B. They have different "dialects" in dancing. C. They cannot communicate at all. D. They only dance about water sources. 1. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Bees are dangerous insects. B. Bees communicate through intelligent dance. C. Scientists should study more animals. D. Different bee species look different. D Do you find it hard to remember new English words? You're not alone. Many students struggle with vocabulary learning. However, with the right methods, you can improve your memory and learn words more effectively. Here are some practical tips for you! Create word cards. Write the English word on one side and its meaning on the other. Carry these cards with you and review them whenever you have free time - on the bus, during lunch break, or before bed. This method helps you review words repeatedly throughout the day. Use new words in sentences. Don't just memorize the meaning. Try to use each new word in a sentence. This helps you understand how the word is used in context and makes it easier to remember. You can write sentences or speak them out loud. Connect words to pictures. For concrete nouns like "apple" or "mountain," it's helpful to connect the word with a mental image. When you see the word, the picture will appear in your mind naturally. This visual connection makes vocabulary learning more interesting and effective. Learn word families. Many English words are related. For example, if you learn "act," you can also learn "actor," "action," and "active." Learning words in groups helps you remember more words with less effort. Review regularly. Memory fades over time. To keep words in your long-term memory, review them regularly. It's better to study for 15 minutes every day than to study for two hours once a week. Consistent practice is the key to success! 1. How does the writer start the passage? A. By asking a question. B. By telling a story. C. By giving advice. D. By listing numbers. 1. Why is it helpful to use new words in sentences? A. Because it helps you write faster. B. Because it helps you understand how the word is used in context. C. Because sentences are easier to memorize. D. Because you can show off to your friends. 1. Which method is best for learning concrete nouns like "apple"? A. Creating word cards. B. Using words in sentences. C. Connecting words to pictures. D. Learning word families. 1. What does the writer suggest about review frequency? A. Study for two hours once a week. B. Study for 15 minutes every day. C. Only study before exams. D. Study whenever you feel like it. E The importance of reading Reading is one of the most important skills we can develop. It opens doors to new worlds and helps us learn about things we might never experience in real life. 16______ Reading can be done anywhere and anytime. Whether you're on a bus, in a waiting room, or sitting in a park, a book can be your best companion. It doesn't need batteries or internet connection. Reading also improves our language skills. When we read, we see how words are used correctly in sentences. 17______ This happens naturally as we read more and more. Our vocabulary grows, and our writing becomes better too. Another benefit of reading is that it exercises our brain.
