Challenges for Children
Many people have memories of playing in playgrounds at parks. Some
children like climbing on jungle gyms while others like the slides or swings.
However, from the 1990s, more and more people began to think that
playgrounds were too dangerous. As a result, many cities in the United States
began to ( 28 ). In these new playgrounds, the climbing bars were lower,
and the ground was softer. As a result, there were fewer chances for children to
get hurt.
Even so, some people do not think that such changes are good for
children. Ellen Sandseter, a professor at Queen Maud University College in
Norway, says that playgrounds help children to grow. For example, when
children try to climb to a high place, they often feel afraid. However, they keep
trying to climb to high places. As a result, ( 29 ), they start to feel less
scared. This shows that when children try difficult things by themselves again
and again, they can learn not to be afraid. Sandseter believes that modern
playgrounds do not have enough challenges.
This causes a problem for parents. They want their children to face
challenges and learn new things, but they also do not want their children to get
hurt. Hoping to solve this problem, local governments in the United States have
started ( 30 ) for playgrounds. They hope to build playgrounds that will
provide exciting and fun challenges for children in a safe environment.
What is the answer to 28?
1 change the swings
2 stop building climbing bars
3 build safer playgrounds
4 close their parks
What is the answer to 29?
1 after many times
2 with their parents’ help
3 in a safe place
4 when they are careful
What is the answer to 30?
1 giving people money
2 asking children to pay
3 making different problems
4 looking at new designs

Subject: Math test
Hi John,
Did you have fun practicing soccer this morning? I heard your team is going to play
a big game this Friday. Are you ready for it? I think I’ll be free that evening, so I
might go and watch it with my brother. I hope you win!
Anyway, I wanted to ask you about our math test next week. I did really poorly on
the last test, so I want to study hard and get a good grade on the next one. I
remember you said you are having trouble in math class, so would you like to study
together? I have some free time on Sunday. So, why don’t we meet at the library?
If you are free, we could also do something fun afterward. There’s a new movie at
the Palace Theater this week called The Man from Mars. It’s a science-fiction movie
about an astronaut who goes to live on Mars for a year. When he comes back to
Earth, everyone is gone, and he tries to find out what happened. Anyway, let me
know what you think, and good luck getting ready for the game!
Your friend,
Kelly

The Recycled Orchestra
In wealthy countries like the United States and Japan, recycling is a popular
way to protect the environment. However, in many poorer countries, recycling is an
important way for people to make money. Adults and children look through
garbage to find metal and other valuable things to sell. In this way, they can make
just enough money to pay for food and housing. In South America, there are towns
where many of the people make their money by doing this. One such place is
Cateura, Paraguay.
Life in Cateura is sometimes difficult. Families have little money, and most
children have to quit school and start working when they are still young. However,
a man named Favio Chavez has been trying to make their lives better. Chavez
moved to Cateura in 2006 and soon started to offer music lessons to children in the
area. These lessons became very popular, but he did not have enough musical
instruments for all of them to practice with.
Chavez decided to work with local people to make new musical instruments
using garbage collected in the town. First, he worked with Nicolas Gomez to create
violins and guitars using old salad bowls and forks. Then, with Tito Romero, he
created clarinets using bottle caps, spoons, and buttons. With hard work and care,
the men were able to create instruments that sounded like the real ones.
Chavez was able to teach hundreds of children in Cateura how to play
instruments. Now, many of the children play in an orchestra called the Recycled
Orchestra. They have the chance to travel to different countries to give
performances, and they use the money that they make to pay for school and to
support their families. Thanks to the Recycled Orchestra, the children and their
families now have a better future to look forward to.
(34) Why is recycling important in many poorer countries?
1 It is the cheapest way to help protect the environment.
2 It is a way for people to make the money they need to live.
3 It can help keep towns there clean.
4 It can help stop people from making garbage.
(35) When Favio Chavez moved to Cateura,
1 the town did not have a school for children.
2 the town did not have many families living there.
3 he began to teach children there to play music.
4 he was too busy to give music lessons anymore.
(36) How did Chavez get musical instruments?
1 He used the money that he received from parents to buy new ones.
2 He sold things that he did not need to get money to buy them.
3 He asked local people to give him old ones that they did not use.
4 He worked with local people to make them from garbage.
(37) Children in the Recycled Orchestra
1 are able to travel and to help their families.
2 have to pay money to take part in the group.
3 ask their schools to help them buy musical instruments.
4 go to other countries to teach other children to play music.
