How much is your new school bag?
Read the story and then answer the questions.
Before Sam left for school, his father reminded him, "Sam, you should take your umbrella or a jacket. The forecast says there's a good chance of rain later today."
Sam answered confidently, "Dad, I really don't think it'll rain. I'll be fine without them."
As the morning passed, the sky gradually grew darker, and by early afternoon, a heavy storm had broken out. With nothing to protect himself, Sam had no choice but to run all the way home through the pouring rain.
By the time he arrived, he was soaked from head to toe. That night, he came down with a fever and couldn't stop coughing. His father took care of him and said calmly, "I did warn you this morning, Sam. If you'd listened, you wouldn't have gotten sick."
Feeling exhausted and a little embarrassed, Sam admitted, "You were right, Dad. I should have taken your advice seriously."
His father smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry about it. Everyone learns this kind of lesson eventually. Let's just make sure you get some rest."
What can be inferred about Sam's personality?
What did Sam realize because of what happened to him?
He should listen to his father's words.
He should wait until the rain stops.
He should stay indoor when it rains.
He should always carry an umbrella.
Why did Sam's father stay calm rather than angry?
He didn't think the fever was serious.
He was too busy caring for Sam to react.
He saw Sam's mistake as a natural way to learn.
He did the same mistake when he was young.

Read the following text and choose the correct answer to each question.
In 16th-century France, people used to mark the start of the new year on April 1st. The celebrations looked a lot like today's New Year's festivities - parties, dancing, and staying up late into the night. Then, in 1582, Pope Gregory brought in a new calendar for the Christian world, which moved the start of the year to January 1st instead. But not everyone got the news right away, and some people didn't believe the change was real. These people kept celebrating the new year on April 1st, just like before.
Because of this, they became an easy target for teasing. People would play pranks on them, send them on pointless errands, or trick them into believing something untrue. That's how they earned the nickname "April's fools."
Even now, many people keep the tradition going by playing jokes on friends and family every April 1st. One classic trick is swapping the sugar in a sugar bowl for salt. Some college students take it further by printing fake headlines in their school newspaper like announcing a made-up giveaway on campus. Most of these jokes are meant purely for fun, not to upset anyone. The best April Fool's prank is the kind that makes everyone laugh, especially the person who got tricked.
Why did some people keep celebrating the new year on April 1st?
They believed April was a more suitable time to start a new year.
Pope Gregory allowed people to choose between the two calendar dates.
News of the calendar change hadn't reached them or they doubted it was real.
They wanted to avoid celebrating on the same day as other countries.
Why does the passage mention the fake giveaway headline?
It shows how news of the calendar spread.
It shows how the prank tradition continues today.
It warns that such pranks can cause real harm.
It shows college students ignore old traditions.
According to the passage, what is considered the mark of a good April Fool's joke?
It helps the person who has been tricked learn something valuable.
It requires a great deal of planning and preparation.
It leaves everyone amused, including the person who was tricked.
It involves a large number of people participating together.
The word "pointless" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

careless
meaningless

What is the main idea of the passage?
A tradition of playful pranks grew out of confusion over a calendar change.
Pope Gregory created April Fool's Day to celebrate the new calendar.
French people in the 1500s enjoyed dancing more than any other custom.
