Read the text. Then answer the questions.
Where did rice actually come from? Even today, no one knows for certain — but scientists have a few fascinating theories. Some believe rice first grew in two separate places thousands of years ago: one type in southern Asia, mentioned in Chinese writings almost 5,000 years old, and another in West Africa. Yet other scientists tell a different story, claiming rice actually began in India and was carried across the world by ancient travelers.
Just as mysterious is how rice is grown today. There are two main methods: upland rice grows in dry soil, while most rice grows in wet, flooded fields instead. In many countries, farmers still plant and harvest by hand, exactly as their ancestors did centuries ago. Elsewhere, machines now do much of the work. Nearly all farmers use fertilizer to boost their crops, and when hungry insects threaten the fields, farmers fight back with poison to protect their harvest.
Based on the passage, what can be inferred about upland rice?
It needs less water than most rice.
It grows only in West Africa.
It is grown using machines only.
It produces more rice than wet fields.
Based on the passage, what can be inferred about the different theories on rice's origin?
All scientists now agree that rice came only from southern Asia.
Scientists disagree because they point to different parts of the world.
Rice started in West Africa and later spread to China and India
The old theories were disproven after Chinese writings were discovered.
What is the text about?
How insects damage rice crops each year
Why machines are replacing hand farming
Where rice comes from and how it is grown
How ancient Chinese farmers invented rice
Based on the passage, what can be inferred about how rice farming has changed over time?
Farmers stopped using fertilizer once machines became widely available.
Upland rice farming has completely replaced wet-field farming today.
Some farming methods have modernized, while others remain unchanged.
Read the following text and do the task.
Rain was pouring down during lunch break last Friday, so my friend Oliver and I walked down the quiet hallway near the old sports shed. Suddenly, a faint scratching sound came from behind the wooden door.
"I bet it's a huge rat!" I whispered, taking a step back.
"Don't worry, Leo," Oliver said, listening closely. "I think it's a trapped kitten."
We carefully pushed the heavy door open. In a dark corner, something small was shivering under a dusty mat. I reached into my backpack for a thick towel to scoop it up, but our teacher, Mr. Davis, walked in and told me to use my soft jacket instead.
Gently wrapping the creature, we carried it straight to the warm staffroom. Oliver was right - it was indeed a tiny black kitten! The headteacher praised us for our kindness and gave us each a shiny badge before calling the animal shelter.
