Hiking teens lucky to be alive
When teenagers Kyndall Jack and Nicholas Cendoya decided to go hiking the forest near Los Angeles, they didn’t plan to get lost for five days. They were hiking so near the city they could see the tall buildings and hear the traffic, but the forest was so thick that they couldn't find a road was just 150m away. When they realized they were lost, they called 911, but their phone stopped before police could find where they were. They only had a water and soon it was all gone. Police used dogs to help search for them. Both Kyndall and Nicholas were taken straight to hospital. They were tired and thirsty, but knew they were to be alive!

Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
Playing the drums
Beth Jones was only eight years old when she first tried playing the drums. This was during a lunchtime music club at school, which she only went to because it was cold and rainy. Also, her friends were in the playground playing hockey - a sport that Beth hated. Of all the musical instruments that the teacher had in the music room, the drums were the most interesting to Beth. She thought it was cool that there were many different shapes and sizes of drums and she wanted to hit them, to see what they sounded like.
Now Beth is thirteen and gives concerts around the country. She also has her own YouTube channel and gets over a million hits a year. What's amazing is that Beth hasn't ever been to a drum lesson. "You can learn anything on the internet, so I've never felt it was important for me to take classes," explains Beth. Giving concerts wasn't easy for Beth at the beginning because usually she only played drums alone in her bedroom when she came home from school.
At her first concert, she played in a band with adults. She could feel hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at her, and that made her feel frightened. So, does Beth enjoy being famous now? "I didn't plan to be famous," she says. "All I want is to show others what I love. I don't think I'm someone special. I just want everyone to have a great time at my concerts."
