We have a two-month summer vacation.
Read the story. Then answer the questions.
James was very interested in space. His second grade class just started to learn about the solar system in science. The class first learned about the Moon. He learned lots about the Moon in school. He learned about how it isn't like the other planets in the solar system.
"Dad, how far away from the Earth is the Moon?"
"It is closer to the Earth than the Sun is," answered his father.
James was really confused. He couldn't figure out how the Sun was so far away from the Earth. When he looked at the Sun in the sky, it was usually bigger than the Moon. He really wanted to know but his father was busy reading the newspaper. James waited a few moments but he couldn't wait for his father to finish reading.
"Dad?"
"Yes, son."
"How far away is the Sun from the Earth?"
"Well, I don't know exactly. Maybe we can look this up on the Internet," answered his father.
James learned about how to search things on the Internet in computer class, so he was really excited now. James and his father searched all about the Moon and the Sun. They learned just how far away both were from the Earth. Now he knows clearly that the Sun is farther away from the Earth than the Moon.
Why did James want to know more about space?
What best describes the solar system?
Why did James think the Sun was closer to the Earth than the Moon?

Read the passage and choose the correct answer.
Sports have always been a part of human life, offering physical and mental benefits. Physically, sports make our hearts and muscles stronger, improve flexibility, and enhance our overall well-being. Regular sports reduce the risk of illnesses like diabetes and heart problems. Mentally, sports act as stress-relievers and boosting happiness. They help us form new friendships and become part of a group. Being on a team or in a club lets you meet new people and learn teamwork. Sports are a fun way to stay fit and healthy. You can choose from various sports, like soccer or basketball for team play, or individual activities like tennis or running. No matter your age, gender, or fitness level, there's a sport for you. Beyond physical fitness, sports teach essential life skills. Discipline, perseverance, and hard work are values that help in school, your job, and boost your self-confidence. Sports are vital. They improve your body and mind, connect you with others, and teach you skills for life. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, there's a sport waiting for you. Get active, have fun, and enjoy the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
