Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Choosing a school for a child with a disability is a huge decision. It is
important to find an environment where they receive real care, the right
support, specialist attention, as well as an excellent education.

1
Some children have difficulties with their bones or their muscles. They may
not be able to walk or talk or write in the same way as other children. These
children are physically handicapped, but with some help they can go to
school and study the same subjects as their friends and take the same
examinations. Other children may not be physically handicapped but may
have difficulties in thinking and reasoning. These children are mentally
handicapped. With these children, a couple of things are important: firstly,
their family has to accept that the child has a handicap and secondly,
society has to agree that these children need special schools where the
children can be taught how to live their own lives - this is called learning
social skills. They learn how to do simple things like: find their own clothes,
dress themselves, hold a paintbrush, and so on.
Many parents think that after a few years, their child will get better. The
problem is that a physical or mental handicap is not like an illness from
which it is possible to recover. If they can learn to look after themselves
and to live at ease with other people, then the school and the teachers
have been successful.

Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Children nowadays have many things to play with. They can watch
television, they can play video games, or they can surf the Internet. But
what do you think children did for fun long ago when there weren't any
televisions or computers? Children back then read books.

3
Some of you might ask: "Are books really fun?" Believe it or not, books
provide many things that television or computers cannot. Since books use
only words to tell a story, they can stimulate your imagination. You can
picture the characters and you can also imagine what the characters are
feeling.
The words and sentences that are used in storytelling are also very
interesting and usually cannot be found often on television or on web sites.
They are sometimes so beautiful and touching that they can bring tears to
your eyes.
Books also help us to think harder. As we continue to read, we ask
questions to ourselves and try to find answers. In doing so, we challenge
ourselves to think deeper.
These are some of the reasons books are so fun to read. Remember: the
more you read, the more you grow.

The idea for Earth Day (April 22) came from a former US politician, Gaylord
Nelson, who was worried about pollution and the health of plants and
animals. In 1969, decided that there should be a special day to teach
people about what we could do to make our environment better.
This idea quickly caught on and in 1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated.
Since then, environmentalists have used Earth Day to educate people
about role in protecting our planet. Earth Day eventually became a global
celebration around the world. Groups that had been fighting individually
against oil spills, polluting factories, the harmful use of pesticides, and the
extinction of wildlife united on Earth Day around these shared common
values. They gather on this day to talk about such matters as global
warming, protecting endangered animals, or preserving our energy
