SPRING FESTIVAL
From times, people have celebrated the end of winter and the new life that spring brings. Spring has always been a season closely linked to hope, new beginnings, and the return of warmer weather after the cold months of winter. One of the most important Christian festivals is Easter, Christians remember the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Families often gather together during this time to attend church services and share a special meal.
In Sweden, people celebrate the end of winter by making huge bonfires that light up the night sky. Fire also plays an important part in the Hindu festival of Holi, which is also known as the "festival of colours." In some villages, children are carried around bonfires by their mothers to protect them danger in the coming year. Buddhists in Thailand soak each other with water when celebrating their New Year, which in the middle of April, as a way of washing away bad luck from the past year.
In Antigua, Guatemala, people carpet the streets with flowers, creating beautiful and colourful patterns for religious processions to walk over. Chinese spring parades are equally colourful instead of flowers, they have large dragon puppets which dance through the streets, accompanied by loud drums and fireworks to welcome good fortune.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
For thousands of years, people have explored the Earth. Now astronomers explore space, looking for new planets for humans to live on someday. But what would a "new Earth" look like? And how do astronomers find one?
First, astronomers look for a star, because our Earth orbits a star called the Sun. Once they find a star, they look for planets around it. When they find a new planet, they must measure the distance between the planet and its star. Most planets are either too near or too far from their star.
When astronomers find a planet in a good position, they look for three things: water, air, and rock. Water is important because humans need it to drink and to grow plants. If plants can grow, they can make air for people to breathe. Astronomers also look for rock, because water is often found under it.
In recent years, astronomers have found a few planets that look similar to Earth. One example is Gliese 581g, a planet at a safe distance from its star. Astronomers think it has water and rock. Its average temperature is between -31°C and -12°C. This is cold, but not colder than Antarctica or the Arctic. Humans could survive in such temperatures.
However, there is one big problem: the distance. Gliese 581g is 18 trillion kilometers from Earth. With today's technology, it would take humans 766,000 years to travel there.
What is the main idea of the passage?
The problem with Gliese 581g
The creation of an alternative Sun
The development of space technology
The search for a new planet to live on
In what way is Gliese 581g very similar to the Earth as mentioned in the passage?
It is the same size as Earth.
The word "measure" in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to _____.
According to the passage, why do astronomers look for rock on a planet?
All of the following are looked for to support human life EXCEPT _____.
Read and then decide if the following statements are true or false.
