The Secret Language of Bees
Bees are very busy little insects. They fly from flower to flower collecting nectar to make honey. But how do bees tell each other where to find the best flowers? The answer is surprising — they dance!
When a worker bee finds a good source of food, it flies back to the hive and performs a special dance. There are two main types of dances. The first is called the round dance. The bee moves in small circles, again and again. This dance tells other bees that food is nearby, less than 100 meters away. It doesn't show the exact direction, just that food is close.
The second dance is more detailed. It is called the waggle dance. The bee moves in a figure-eight pattern, waggling its body from side to side as it goes straight down the middle. This dance gives two important pieces of information: distance and direction.
The speed of the waggle shows how far away the food is. If the bee waggles slowly, the food is far away. If it waggles quickly, the food is close. The direction of the straight part of the dance shows which way the flowers are, using the sun as a guide. For example, if the bee points straight up, it means "fly toward the sun."
Scientists have studied bee dances for many years. Karl von Frisch was the first person to understand the meaning of these dances, and he won a Nobel Prize for his work. Thanks to his research, we now know that bees have one of the most unusual communication systems in the animal kingdom.
Next time you see bees buzzing around a garden, remember — they might be having a conversation through dance!
31. What does the round dance tell other bees?
A. The exact place of food. B. Food is not far away.
C. The type of flower. D. How much nectar there is.
32. What information does the waggle dance provide?
A. Only distance. B. Only direction.
C. Both distance and direction. D. Neither distance nor direction.
33. If a bee waggles slowly during the dance, what does it mean?
A. The food is far away. B. The food is very sweet.
C. There is danger nearby. D. The hive is getting full.
34. Who first understood the meaning of bee dances?
A. A garden keeper. B. Karl von Frisch.
C. A Nobel Prize winner from China. D. A group of high school students.
35. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How bees make honey. B. The life of worker bees.
C. How bees communicate through dances. D. Different types of bees around the world.

Why Read Books When We Have the Internet?
These days, you can find almost any information online in seconds. Some people say that reading books is no longer necessary. Why open a heavy book when you can just search the internet? However, books still offer many benefits that screens cannot match.
First, reading books helps improve your attention span. When you read a whole book, you have to follow a long story or a complex idea from beginning to end. This trains your brain to focus for longer periods. On the internet, people often jump from one short article to another, never staying on one topic for more than a few minutes. Over time, this can make it harder to concentrate on deep thinking.
Second, books develop your imagination. When you read a novel, you create the characters and places in your own mind. No two readers picture a story exactly the same way. Your brain works actively to build the world of the book. Videos and images, on the other hand, give you everything ready-made. You don't have to imagine — you just receive.
Third, reading books improves your vocabulary and writing style. Good writers choose their words carefully. By reading many books, you naturally pick up richer language and better sentence structures. Internet writing is often casual and simple, and it doesn't challenge you to grow as a language user.
Finally, books are windows to other worlds and lives. Through reading, you can experience what it was like to live in another time or another country. You can see the world through someone else's eyes. This helps develop understanding and empathy for people who are different from you.
The internet is a wonderful tool, and we are lucky to have it. But books are not old-fashioned or useless. They are a different way of learning — deeper, slower, and more personal. The best thing is to use both: the internet for quick facts, and books for deep understanding and pleasure.
36. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. Reading books helps you focus better. B. Internet articles are usually short.
C. People jump between topics online. D. Deep thinking is not important anymore.
37. Why does the writer say books develop imagination?
A. Books have more pictures than websites. B. Readers create the story world in their minds. C. Good writers describe everything in detail. D. Novels are more interesting than videos.
38. What does the underlined word "empathy" probably mean?
A. The ability to understand others' feelings. B. The ability to remember things quickly.
C. The ability to write well. D. The ability to speak foreign languages.
39. Which of the following would the writer agree with?
A. Books are completely better than the internet. B. The internet will replace books very soon.
C. Books and the internet serve different purposes.
D. Reading books is only for old-fashioned people.
40. How does the writer organize the passage?
A. By telling a personal story. B. By comparing two opinions and giving reasons.
C. By listing numbers and facts. D. By asking questions and not answering them.

Biking Culture in the Netherlands
The Netherlands is often called the bicycle capital of the world. In this small European country, there are more bikes than people. Almost everyone rides a bike — children, grandparents, business people, even the prime minister. Biking is not just a sport or a hobby there; it is a way of life.
How did this start? Back in the 1970s, the Netherlands had a big problem with traffic and pollution. Cars were becoming more popular, and the number of road accidents kept rising, especially among children. People were worried and started to demand safer streets for cyclists. The government listened and began to build special bike paths all over the country.
Today, the Netherlands has over 35,000 kilometers of bike paths. These paths are separate from car roads, so biking is very safe. There are also bike traffic lights, bike parking garages, and even special bridges only for bikes. In many cities, it is faster to go by bike than by car, especially during rush hour.
Dutch people start biking at a very young age. Children learn to ride bikes before they go to primary school. Most students ride their bikes to school every day, no matter the weather. Rain or shine, you will see the streets full of bikes.
Biking brings many advantages. It keeps people healthy, it does not pollute the air, and it saves money. The Netherlands has one of the lowest rates of traffic deaths in Europe, and people there are generally healthier than in many other countries.
Many cities around the world are now looking to the Netherlands as an example. They are building more bike paths and encouraging people to leave their cars at home. The Dutch have shown that with good planning and public support, biking can become a normal part of city life.

Dear Jack,
I'm glad you're interested in our School Reading Festival. It was held last week to encourage more students to read and share good books.
There were many interesting activities. We had a book fair where we could exchange books with each other. A famous writer also came to give a speech about reading habits. My favorite part was the "Read Aloud" competition, where students shared their favorite passages.
I really enjoyed this festival. It helped me discover new books and made me realize the joy of reading. I hope we can have more activities like this.
Yours,
