Our Toy Shop
Hi, my name is Amy. I am twelve years old. We have a

small toy shop in our neighborhood. My father says Fridays
are the busiest day in our toy shop. So after school, my mom
takes me there to help my dad. That's another reason why I
like Fridays. We allow kids to play with the toys when they are
in the store. My father says I am responsible for the toys and
that I need to watch and make sure nothing breaks. Many
kids from my school and neighborhood also come to the shop
to look at our new toys. It is always noisy here. Because it’s
full of babies and small children. Little girls tend to go for
dolls, boys go for cars. Some just want to play with the toys,
some actually want to buy them. It’s a bit tiring for me but I
like going to the shop and helping my father.

1.Which of the following questions you cannot answer?
A) Where is the toy shop located?

3. Why does Amy help his father on Fridays?

Summer Job
Hi, I am Evan. In summer, after schools are closed, I

work at a theme park in a nearby coastal town. I love
summer time and working at the park so I can't wait till the
schools close for the summer. The amusement park where
I work is really big with lots of fun rides and restaurants.
But what's best about it is that it is actually built on the
beach. This is a beach town and there is a really long
boardwalk by the beach with many shops, food stores and
stairs to the beach at several points. The main entrance to
the park is also from the boardwalk. The park also has
access to the beach so you can get to the beach by going
through the park. I work there as a ride operator at one of
the roller coasters which is the most fun. There are three
other employees who work at the same ride with me. We
welcome the riders, remind them the safety procedures
and operate the ride. I work here for about two months
every summer and enjoy it very much. They organize
several fun events over the summer with free food, ice-
cream and games for the workers. The park access is free
for the employees so I can ride the rides as much as I
want. My family and friends love visiting me here because
I can get them free admission to the park too.
The only bad part about working here is that it gets too
hot sometimes. But even then, I can just jump in the
cool waters of the Atlantic ocean and refresh.

amusement park?

Milpa Alta is a region to the south of Mexico City. It has a
famous volcano – Teuhtli – and twelve villages and towns. Milpa
Alta is also famous for a traditional meal every Christmas,
called La Rejunta. The meal is part of the Christmas celebrations
and it feeds huge numbers of people. The cooks make about sixty
thousand tamales. Tamales are made from corn and have different
fillings. They also make about fifteen thousand litres of hot
chocolate. They make all of this food and drink in less than one
week. The meal is one of the activities for people who go on a
walk to the cave of El Señor de Chalma. It’s an important place
for people from the region at Christmas. The cave is about eighty
kilometres away and the walk begins
on the 3rd of January. About 20,000 people go on the walk each
year. That's 20,000 hungry people!

Every year, the organisers of the meal change. This year,
Virginia Meza Torres and her husband Fermín Lara Jiménez are the
organisers, or majordomos. They waited for 14 years to do this.
Lots of people want to organise the meal because it’s a very
important tradition. They put their names on a list. At the moment,
the list has names for every year until 2046.

The preparation for the meal takes a whole year. At the start
of the year, men collect wood from the forest. They store it near
the home of the majordomos so that it will be dry and ready to
use. The wood burns in the fires that they use to cook the food.
The farmers in the area grow the ingredients for the meal, such as
corn, meat and vegetables. Everything is natural; there’s no ready-
made food. Lots of volunteers help to cook and serve the meal.
Tradition is very important to the people of Milpa Alta, and one of
the most important activities is eating together. One woman,
Josefina García Jiménez, says that sitting together at the table
shows love to your family. Everybody stays at the table after the
meal finishes and they talk, tell stories and
laugh together. At Christmas, La Rejunta is like a huge family meal.

Halloween (also referred to as All Hollows' Eve) is a
holiday that's celebrated in America on 31 October of each
year, regardless of what day of the week this date falls on.
Although it is rooted in religion, Halloween today is enjoyed
mainly because of its decorations, costumes, candy, treats,
and general excitement, and furthermore, it is enjoyed by most
everyone.
Before Halloween, many individuals carve a design into an

orange-colored pumpkin, or a solid, durable vegetable. Once a
personally satisfying design is carved, a lit candle is typically

put inside a pumpkin, thereby making it a Jack-O-Lantern. At
night, this design lights up against the darkness.

Besides carving pumpkins, some celebrate Halloween by

putting decorations up. Supernatural (referring in this case to
non-natural creatures that're typically based in fiction) figures,

including vampires, ghosts, werewolves, zombies, and
more, generally account for most of these decorations. Bugs,
spiders, cobwebs, gravestones, and anything else that can be
considered creepy (or unusual and possibly scary) can also be
found on Halloween, in decoration form.

Only some adults celebrate Halloween, and they generally
do so by attending parties. Inversely, the vast majority of
children dress in costume (Halloween costumes can be based
upon anything, from the mentioned supernatural creatures to
the stars of today's films) and walk from door to door in search

of candy—a practice known as trick or treat—on Halloween.
After knocking on a door (houses that participate in Halloween
usually leave a light on), one says, "Trick or Treat" and a piece
(or pieces!) of candy is given to him or her.

1. When does Halloween take place?
A) 14 February
B) 25 December
C)31 October
D) Eight weeks before Christmas

2.What day of the week does Halloween fall on?

B) By producing candies
C) By dressing in costume and trick-or-treating
D) By hanging ornaments on a Christmas tree

4. One can expect to see all of the
following types of decorations
on Halloween
A) Spiders and other bugs
B) Snowflakes and ribbons

A) Attending Halloween parties

The Statue of Liberty, arguably one of New York City’s
most iconic symbols, is a popular tourist attraction for first-
time visitors to the city. This 150-foot monument was gifted to
the United States from France in order to celebrate 100 years
of America’s independence. The statue is located on Liberty
Island, and it is accessible by taking a ferry from either
Battery Park in New York City or Liberty State Park in Jersey
City.

When Claire visited the Statue of Liberty for the first time,
she instantly admired it as a symbol of freedom. Claire made
sure to make reservations before her visit because only 240
people are permitted to climb the staircase to the top of the
statue every day. After climbing almost 400 stairs, Claire
received spectacular views of the city from the statue’s
crown.

During her visit, Claire learned that the Statue of Liberty
was not always the color that it is now. She found out that
because the statue’s exterior is made of copper, the statue
oxidized over time, giving it the greenish appearance it has in
present day. When it was first constructed, the statue was the
same color as a shiny penny!
After touring the Statue of Liberty, Claire spent the rest of the
day in New York City visiting other important monuments and
historic landmarks. Claire left New York hoping to have had
the time to explore more sites, but she can’t wait to return to
the city in the future.

6.Who gifted the Statue of Liberty to the United States?
A) The Dutch
B) The French
C) The Spanish
D) The British

7.What was the Statue of Liberty intended to celebrate?
A) Open immigration to the United States
B) A century of American independence
C) Economic recovery from the Great Depression
D) The end of the Civil War

8.How many people are permitted to climb the statue’s stairs
per day?
A) 150
B) 400
C) 100
D) 240

9.From which part of the statue did Claire receive spectacular
views of the city?
A) The mouth
B) The crown
C) The nose
D) The eyes

10.Why has the Statue of Liberty changed color over time?
A) New York’s poor air quality has eroded the statue.
B) It was painted green during restorations.
C) Its copper exterior oxidized.
D) The statue is poorly maintained by the city.

Keith recently came back from a trip to Chicago,
Illinois. This midwestern metropolis is found along the shore
of Lake Michigan. During his visit, Keith spent a lot of time
exploring the city to visit important landmarks and
monuments.
Keith loves baseball, and he made sure to take a visit to
Wrigley Field. Not only did he take a tour of this spectacular
stadium,
but he also got to watch a Chicago Cubs game. In the
stadium, Keith and the other fans cheered for the Cubs.
Keith was happy that the Cubs won with a score of 5-4.

Chicago has many historic places to visit. Keith found
the Chicago Water Tower impressive as it is one of the few
remaining landmarks to have survived the Great Chicago
Fire of 1871. Keith also took a walk through Jackson Park, a
great outdoor space that hosted the World’s Fair of 1892.
The park is great for a leisurely stroll, and it still features
some of the original architecture and replicas
of monuments that were featured in the World’s Fair.

During the last part of his visit, Keith managed to climb
the stairs inside of the Willis Tower, a 110-story skyscraper.

My job is a long distance from my home, almost 50 miles away.
I have to wake up early every morning, as I’m always in a rush.
There’s never enough time for a relaxed breakfast. At exactly 6:00
AM, I get into my car and start the long drive.

I usually like driving on the highway more than in the city.
During the morning rush hour, though, it’s not very enjoyable.
The heavy traffic is a little bit annoying. So I always listen to my
favorite classical music CD’s in the car – Chopin, Mozart, and Bach.
That cheers me up a lot.

The drive to work takes about one hour. Going back home in
the evening after work takes even longer, maybe around 70
minutes. Lately I’ve been thinking about trying to take the train to
work instead of driving. That way, I could still listen to my music with
headphones, and even read a novel at the same time.

A) Late in the morning home take?
B) After the morning rush hour A) 70 kilometers
C) Early in the morning B) Less than the drive in the morning
D) At exactly 6:00 AM C) 50 minutes
D) Around 70 minutes
22.How is driving during the morning
rush hour? 25.What else does he think he could even
A) It’s classical do if he took a train to work?
B) Not as much fun as walking A) Write a book
C) Not very enjoyable B) Read a novel
D) It’s relaxing C) Do crossword puzzles
D) Sing songs
23.Which kind of music CD’s does he
enjoy listening to in the car?
A) Disco
B) Jazz
C) Heavy metal
D) Classical

The Grand Canyon, one of the Seven Wonders of the
Natural World, is located in the state of Arizona. It is also a
UNESCO World Heritage Site. Formed by over 70 million
years of erosion from the Colorado River, the Grand
Canyon offers a spectacular view. The canyon
spans 277 miles in length, up to 18 miles in width, and it
measures over a mile in depth at its deepest points.
Carlos always wanted to visit the Grand Canyon, and
recently he received the chance to hike some of the trails
and take several panoramic photographs during his visit.

She'd take the world off my shoulders Maybe one day you'll feel lonely
If it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse

Do I still wish that it was you? And find me again (again)

Does he laugh the way I did? Said I'm fine and said I moved on
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find A glimpse of us
