Although public schools are open to all children, many schools do not have enough trained teachers, special equipment, or learning materials to support students with learning disabilities. Because of this, some children stay at home and miss important learning opportunities. To help solve this problem, two women opened a private center called Elim in 2020. The center is located about 80 kilometers from Tripoli, the capital city of Libya. Every day, more than 40 children and teenagers come to the center to receive special support. Teachers work closely with students and provide individual lessons. They help children improve their communication skills, learning abilities and confidence. One of the most important goals of Elim is to make education affordable. Many private support centers charge high fees, which can be difficult for ordinary families to pay. Elim only asks parents to pay a small fee, allowing more children to receive professional help. Parents say the center has changed their children's lives. One mother explained that her six-year-old daughter, who has Down syndrome, could not speak clearly before joining the center. She often became upset because people could not understand her. After attending lessons for several months, she learned to express herself much better and became happier and more confident. The founders hope that more centers like Elim will be built across Libya in the future so that every child can receive the support they need. 26. Why do many children with special needs have difficulty in public schools? A. Schools are too expensive. B. There are not enough trained teachers and resources. C. Students do not like learning. D. Parents keep them at home. 27. When was Elim opened? A. 2018 B. 2019 C. 2020 D. 2021 28. How many children attend Elim every day? A. About 20 B. About 30 C. More than 40 D. More than 100 29.

B Residents of Albany, a coastal town in Western Australia, were deeply shocked by a tragic shark attack near Michaelmas Island. A 35-year-old local man was seriously injured while spearfishing with his family. The attack happened only about ten meters from the island. According to reports, a large Great White shark suddenly attacked the man. Experts estimated that the shark was around 4.5 meters long. Family members and emergency workers quickly helped him and placed him onto a boat. They then started a 13-kilometer journey back to the mainland, hoping to get medical treatment as soon as possible. Unfortunately, despite everyone's efforts, the man died before reaching the marina. The accident caused great sadness in the local community. Albany is a relatively small town where many residents know each other, so the loss affected many people. Interestingly, a satellite monitoring system had detected a tagged Great White shark nearby only a few hours before the attack. Researchers use these systems to track shark movements and learn more about their behavior. This was Australia's fourth fatal shark attack of 2026 and the third involving a spearfisher in only four weeks. Experts explain that spearfishing can be especially dangerous because injured fish release blood into the water, which may attract sharks and other predators. Although shark attacks remain rare, authorities continue to remind people to follow safety advice whenever they enter the ocean. 31.Where did the shark attack happen? A.China B. Libya C. Australia D. Canada 32.What was the man doing? A. Swimming B.fishing C. Surfing D. Diving 33.How long was the journey back to the mainland? A.10 km B. 11 km C. 12 km D. 13 km 34.

C Hershey, one of the most famous candy companies in the world, recently announced plans to return to using real chocolate in some of its products by 2027.
