Christmas at the Miller Home
Christmas at the Miller family home looks a little different each year. Last year, they tried a Secret Santa game, so nobody knew who had given them their gift. Everyone had to guess. Ethan received a toy fire truck and guessed it came from his uncle, since his uncle worked as a firefighter. His guess turned out to be correct.
This year, Ethan spent Christmas with just his sister Chloe and their parents. Each of them made three wishes for gifts, and they agreed to guess what was inside before unwrapping anything. Ethan had wished for a chess set, a pair of headphones, and a remote-control car.
After a slow breakfast, it was finally time to open presents. Ethan picked up his gift and noticed it was surprisingly light for its size, and something inside shifted slightly whenever he tilted the box. He figured it couldn't be the chess set, since that would feel much heavier and nothing would move around. It probably wasn't the headphones either, as those would come in a flatter, narrower box. That left only one possibility, and when he tore off the paper, he was right - it was the remote-control car, with its wheels rolling loosely inside.
Next, Chloe opened her gift and found a new pair of skates, exactly what she had hoped for. Both children thanked their parents for another wonderful Christmas.
Based on how Ethan figured out his gift, what can be inferred about him?
He pays attention to small details before making a decision.
He was not very interested in what was inside the box.
He enjoyed guessing games more than opening presents.
He already knew what his parents had bought him.
Why did Ethan correctly guess that his uncle gave him the toy fire truck last year?
His uncle told him what the secret gift was by accident.
His uncle worked in a profession related to the toy.
His uncle always purchased toy vehicles for Christmas.
His uncle bought a real fire truck the previous year.
According to the passage, what was the specific rule for opening gifts this year?
Everyone had to buy three gifts for each person in the family.
They had to guess the giver of the gift before opening it.
They opened presents immediately after a very fast breakfast.
Everyone made three wishes and had to guess the gift inside.

From: Emily Turner
To: Mr. David Wilson – Cafeteria Manager
Dear Mr. Wilson,
My name is Emily Turner, and I am a student at Lakeside High School. I am writing to talk about the food served in our school cafeteria. Right now, the portions are often quite small, and many students end up still feeling hungry after lunch. On top of that, some of the fruits and vegetables don't seem very fresh, which makes them less appealing to eat.
I think it would help to offer larger portions so students have enough energy to focus during afternoon classes. I also think the cafeteria should make sure fresh produce is delivered more often, so meals taste better and stay healthier. A good, satisfying lunch can really make a difference in how well students concentrate and perform in school.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.
Sincerely,
Emily Turner
What is the purpose of this letter?
To complain about the price of cafeteria meals.
To ask Mr. Wilson to extend the school lunch period.
To thank Mr. Wilson for recently improving the cafeteria menu.
To raise concerns about portion sizes and freshness in the cafeteria.
What can be inferred about Emily's attitude toward the cafeteria?
She thinks the cafeteria should be closed altogether.
She believes the cafeteria staff don't care about students.
She wants to see it improve, not just complain about it.
She is satisfied with the cafeteria but wants small changes.

Light Pollution: A City Goes Dark for the Stars
On the evening of March 14th, 2021, the streets of a large city in northern Europe suddenly went dark. Normally, this only happens due to an electricity problem, but this time the city switched off its lights on purpose so residents could step outside and see the night sky - something nearly impossible in most cities because of light pollution.
Light pollution happens when light from streetlamps and buildings makes the night sky brighter than it should be. This causes several problems. Animals often sleep less because the extra light makes them think it's still daytime. Birds migrating to warmer regions in the fall rely on the moon and stars to navigate, but light pollution makes this harder. Insects and birds in cities are often drawn toward artificial lights at night, sometimes flying into buildings and dying as a result.
Light pollution affects people too. It can make it harder to fall asleep and can trigger headaches. It also means we no longer see the sky the way earlier generations once did. Because of this, most of us rarely witness one of nature's most stunning sights - the countless stars of the Milky Way. Hundreds of thousands of people have never seen it at all.
Fortunately, reducing light pollution doesn't take much effort. Simple habits, like turning off lights when they aren't needed or closing curtains at night, can make a real difference. With less light pollution, we could once again enjoy the beauty of the night sky.
The lights were switched off in the city on March 14th ______.
because there was a temporary problem with the electricity supply
so that people could go outside and enjoy the fresh night air
so that people could get a clear view of the night sky
because the city wanted to save energy during a period of high demand
Light pollution is a problem when _____.
the night sky is too dark to see anything
there isn't enough light at night for people
the moonlight becomes too bright to sleep
there is too much artificial light at night
According to the passage, why is light pollution bad for some birds?
It makes them more likely to lose their way.
It causes them to sleep harder than usual.
It makes it harder for them to lay their eggs.
It forces them to migrate earlier each year.
What does the writer of this article believe?
People should learn more about how earlier generations lived.
It's a pity that most people today rarely get to enjoy the night sky.
Hundreds of thousands of people have never seen the Milky Way.
The galaxy isn't as impressive now as it once was in the past.
The writer says that ____.
only large and central cities need to deal with light pollution
covering windows with curtains lets us see the stars better
there are simple things people can do to help reduce light pollution
people have already taken many steps to fix light pollution
