Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Leo wanted to do something kind for his grandmother while she was shopping. He decided to wash her favorite sweater so she could wear it later. Confidently, he tossed the heavy clothing into the washing machine with hot water because he wanted to remove some stains. He was sure that it would come out clean and smell wonderfully fresh. However, his heart sank deeply when he finally pulled the wet item out an hour later. The beautiful sweater had shrunk so much during the wash that it was now extremely small.
Leo was totally shocked. He panicked because this specific item of clothing was highly significant to his grandmother. She had knitted it herself many years ago, and she still wore it often. The frightened boy tried pulling the wet material in different directions. Unfortunately, the thick wool was far too difficult for the young boy to stretch it back to its original shape. When she finally came home, Leo knew that he had to tell the truth.
"I am sorry, but I think that I have ruined your favorite sweater," he said quietly.
He held the tiny object up. Rather than getting angry, she examined the damaged clothing and told Leo that he did not need to worry about this unfortunate mistake. She pointed at Whiskers, who was sleeping comfortably on the warm couch.
"This size is perfect for our cat to wear during the freezing winter," she explained.
Leo smiled with relief and realized that his terrible mistake was actually a remarkable success.

According to the passage, what did Leo try to do?
What happened when the grandmother saw the damaged sweater?

Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
In the UK we each use about two hundred metal food and drink cans every year. Metal cans are popular because they are convenient, easy to store, and unbreakable. But when you have finished with a can what do you do with it? Do you throw it away and forget all about it?
Probably? But behind the scenes, there are people whose job is to make sure that the metal is never wasted. In fact, recycling or re-using metal cans is so successful that every day of the year more than five million cans start new lives in new metal products.
After you have thrown away your can, what happens? Well, first of all, it is collected by the men who empty your dustbin each week and taken to a landfill, together with all the other household rubbish. Then the rubbish is stored and the metal cans are taken separately to a special factory where they find their way back into your home in the form of knives and forks, garden equipment and, of course, food and drink cans. So the next time you open your soft drink just remember where your can may have been!
What is the passage mainly about?

After being taken to the landfill, empty metal cans _____.
