Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Winter is dangerous because it's so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting snow, waiting ahead to send you off the road. The car coming to you may suddenly slip across the road. Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly . Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control. So every time you either start or stop your car, increase or reduce your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Suppose you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn't spill it. Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to gently stop your car. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all times and you will not get into trouble. Question: In the passage the writer talks about a cup of coffee _ . Options: A: to show how important smooth movements are B: to ask the drivers to bring some soft drinks with them C: to tell the drivers to be more relaxed D: to show how it can be spilled

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: "Whoosh!" The ball flew into the net and the game was finally over. This game had gone into overtime twice. Until the last goal was scored, no one had any idea which team would win. Dave felt so bad because his team had lost. He liked playing soccer, but he liked winning even more. Now the two teams should have a picnic together. Dave did not want to eat lunch with the other team. The other team would probably brag by talking about how they won the game. Dave went to the locker room to change out of his soccer clothes. There the coach talked to the team about what they had done well. They also talked about how they could improve. Then everybody walked outside towards the picnic table. One of the players from the other team was standing near the picnic table. He handed Dave a paper plate. "Hi, I'm Miguel," he said. "Hi," Dave replied, looking down at the ground. "You played great," Miguel said. "I didn't think we were going to win." Dave was surprised. Miguel was not bragging at all. "Thanks," Dave said to Miguel. "You played great, too." Dave felt happy. Dave promised himself that the next time his team won a game, he would not brag to the other team. It was wonderful to win, but it was even more important to be a good winner. Question: Based on the story, what would probably happen in the future? Options: A: Miguel would brag the next time his team won. B: Dave would not brag the next time his team won. C: Dave's team would win the next soccer game. D: Miguel's team would not play against Dave's team again.

Ques: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: The young turtle has been swimming for three months now in the same warm shallow bay, dreaming of calm water and plenty of food. But as the days begin to shorten and the night comes earlier and earlier, the water grows colder. It drops to fifty degrees Fahrenheit . Swimming is harder. Its heartbeat slows--and almost stops. The young turtle is in danger of losing its life. Ten days before Thanksgiving, Max Nolan, a ten-year-old boy, and his mother begin their _ . The Nolans are among volunteers who walk Cape Cod's beaches during November and December to search for turtles who are often cold and trapped and seem dead--turtles whose lives they may be able to save. Max and his mother and the other volunteers do an important job. All sea turtles are threatened or endangered. Among them Kemp's ridleys are the most endangered. Right now on our planet there are fewer than eight thousand Kemp's ridley turtles left. Max is far in front of his mother when he sees a turtle washed up by the surf. He runs up to it and shouts to his mom, "Got one!" The turtle is cold. Its eyes are open, but the turtle is not moving at all. It might be dead or still alive. Max remembers the instructions given to all the volunteers. He picks up the turtle, which weighs about five pounds, and moves it above the high-tide mark to keep it from washing out to sea. Then he runs to find seaweed to protect it from the wind. He finds a stick to mark where it is, and next, he and his mother go to the nearest telephone and call the sea-turtle hot line for help.

Options: A: it has been swimming for three months B: it dreams of calm water and plenty of food C: the water drops to fifty degrees Fahrenheit D: the days get longer and the nights come earlier

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: I had hidden the long black bag in the garage for the past two days. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me. It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan. First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or _ would learn my secret. Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police. It was already eleven o'clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw and a hammer. After much effort, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn't be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year. Question: How long did the man spend completing his work? Options: A: Three hours. B: Four hours. C: Five hours. D: Six hours.
