Ella's Birthday Sleepover
Ella wanted a sleepover for her birthday. She made a list of friends to invite, and her dad suggested five friends so it wouldn't get too crowded in the living room. Ella wrote out five invitations and handed them out at school the next day. Zara, Mia, Priya, and Grace were thrilled and said they'd definitely come. The last invitation went to Chloe, who smiled but hesitated before taking it.
That evening, Ella's dad got a call from Chloe's mom. After hanging up, he explained, "Chloe really wants to come, but she's a bit worried about something."
"What is she worried about?" Ella asked.
"She's never slept away from home before," her dad said. "She's afraid she might get scared or homesick in the middle of the night."
"Dad, I'd take care of her the whole time," Ella said.
In the end, Ella and her dad decided that if Chloe felt uncomfortable at any point during the night, he would drive her home right away, no questions asked. When they explained this to Chloe's mom, Chloe agreed to come.
The sleepover turned out to be a wonderful night, and Chloe ended up staying until morning after all.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Imagine talking to your friend who is a few kilometers away without using a mobile phone. On La Gomera, a beautiful island in Spain, people can do exactly that!
They use a special "language" called Silbo Gomero. But they do not speak it with words; they whistle! Skilled whistlers can even hold entire conversations this way, sharing news, invitations, and daily updates.
La Gomera has very deep valleys and high mountains. In the past, walking across the island was difficult and took a lot of time, sometimes hours, just to reach a nearby village. So, the local people used Silbo Gomero to send messages across the deep valleys instead. A loud whistle can travel much further than a shout - up to 5 kilometers!
Silbo Gomero is actually Spanish, but made of whistle sounds instead of spoken words. Different whistling patterns represent different sounds in the Spanish language, allowing whistlers to express almost anything they could say aloud.
When people started using modern phones, Silbo Gomero was almost forgotten. To save this unique culture, the government made a change. Now, all children in La Gomera learn how to whistle Silbo in school.
What is this passage mainly about?
Why did people on La Gomera develop Silbo Gomero in the first place?
According to the passage, what is Silbo Gomero actually based on?
The word "They" in paragraph 2 refers to _____.
Why did the government decide that all children should learn Silbo Gomero in school?
Write a paragraph (about 100 words) about how to deal with exam stress.
