causing loud claps that can beconfused with explosions.One person describedit as a loud boom,similar to a plane crash.Another person was woken up in the middle ofthe night by what hethought was

months.I'll be ableto pay for the phone well before that period isover.W:I still think it's a bad idea touse a credit card forsomething you don't need.One of my colleagues bought alot of things on

activities.Developtheir motor skills and even improve emotional well being.To begin with,children seem to have a natural desire toovercome challenges and take risks.Taking healthy risksthrough physical movement builds children's confidenceand ability to solve problems andpersist throughfrustration.Secondly,movement activities build children'sbig body skills such as coordination and balance.As wellas the fine motor skills they need for tasks like writing,tying their shoes,or throwing and catching a ball.Thirdly,according to the American Psychological Association,regular physical activity,and especially outdoor activity,reduces children's stress and depression and improvestheir ability to focus and learn.Regular exercise cansignificantly improve self regulation and decreasedisciplinary consequences for negative behavior.Physicalactivity provides a positive outlet for frustration,anxiety oranger and can become a healthy coping skill throughoutlife.Finally,we know that physical activity is important forour physicaland mental health and cultivating the habit ofphysical activity startsearly.Children are more likely todevelop a lifelong love of physical activity from frequentpositive early experiences.Not every child enjoyscompetitive sports or playing with balls,and that's okay.There are plenty of other options,such as imaginativeplay,non competitive games,and gardening or natureexperiences.Q16.What do children seem tohave a natural desire todo?Q17.According to the American PsychologicalAssociation,what does regular physical activity do tochildren?Q18.What does the passage say about cultivating thehabit of physical activity?Passage 02A new study finds that job seekers are even willing toexplore jobs with lower salaries,when companies aremore diverse.It finds that sharing information aboutdiversity makes job postings more attractive to jobseekers,even when pay is lower.To conduct the study,the team partnered with an onlinejob listings platform,which emails postings relevant toindividuals and their job search criteria.Thank you For the course of the 11 week study,theplatform emailed job listings to some 180,000 users placedin one of two conditions.In the baseline condition,participants saw emails in the normal format,with noinformation on diversity.In the diversity condition,participants saw a diversity score for each listing,information about the race,gender,education,andlanguage skills of a company's workforce compared toothers in the same sector and location.Information wasthen gathered on whether the email was opened andwhich job listings were clicked on by each user.Participants in the diversity condition tended to click on joblistings from companies with slightly higher diversityscores than those in the baseline condition.That is,participants seemed to be paying attention toinformation about diversity.And using this,when decidingwhether to click on the listing.Andthe team also foundthat participants were willing to look at listings with lowersalaries,if they came from companies with a higherdiversity score.Q19.When arejob seekers willing to explore jobs withlower salaries,according to a new study?Q20.What did participants see in the baseline condition ofthe study?Q21.What doesthe passage say participants seem to bepaying attention to?Passage 03A new study from Oregon State University found thatdogs tend to match their behavior with the children intheir family.The findings are important because thereisa growing body of evidence that dogs can helpchildren in many ways.These include helping withsocial development,increasing physical activity,managing anxiety or serving as a source ofattachment in the face of changing family structures.Yet very little research has focused on how dogsperceive and socially engage with children.Thegreat news is that this study suggests dogs arepaying a lot of attention to the kids that they livewith,said Monique Oudel,the lead author of thestudy.One interesting thing we have observed is thatdogs are matching children's behaviour,but lessfrequently than what we have seen between dogsand adults.This suggests that while dogs may viewchildren as social companions,there are also somedifferences that we need tounderstand better.Whileresearch has found dogs can have a lot of positiveimpacts on a child's life,there are also risksassociated with a dog child relationship.Forexample,other studies have found dogs are morelikely to bite children versus adults.We still have a lotto learn about the dog child relationship.ELL said,but research does show that kids are very capable oftraining dogs.Q22.What does the passage say about the findings of anew study from Oregon State University?Q23.What does a growing body of evidence show,according to the passage?Q24.What did Monique Oudel say their study suggests?Q25.What does research show kids are very capable ofdoing?

environmentally harmfulstage of any space mission,with vast quantities offuel burnt up in a matter of minutes.For instance,SpaceX's Falcon 9 gets through 112 tons of refinedfuel,emitting about 336 tons of CO2.This is theequivalent produced by your average car drivingalmost 70 times around the world,as well asgreenhouse gases.Rocket engines emit particles that destroy ozone.These issues are growing more pressing with theemergence of commercial spaceflight.There were114 space launches in 2020,but there may be up to1,000 per year in future.Sustainable fuels are the top priority to enablegreener space travel.Current spacecraft use avariety of fuels,but most are based on fossil fuels.One potentially greener option is liquid hydrogen andoxygen.Hydrogen can be obtainedsustainably byusing solar power to break water down into oxygenand hydrogen.Reusable rockets can cut down onsome of the waste associated with spaceflight.Traditionally,boosters,fuel tanks,and othercomponents are treated as expendable.But guiding them back to Earth in a controlledmanner opens new possibilities.Most componentsfrom the Falcon 9 can be reused up to 100 times.Truly environmentally friendly space travel is stillsome way off.But we already have many of thetechnologiesneeded to start limiting its impact on ourplanet.Q16.What do we learn from the passage about theliftoff of spacecraft?Q17.What happens traditionally to boosters,fueltanks,and other components in spaceflight?Q18.What does the passage say we already haveregarding spaceflight?Passage 02Helping to look after a pet can facilitate numerousaspects of a child's emotional development.Research shows that reading to a loyal andnonjudgmental companion,Such as a dog or cat,canencourage reluctant readers to read aloud,which willin turn bōost their self confidence.Having a companion to talk to about their feelingscan also help children feel secure and developcommunication skills.A household pet can also cultivate a child's sense ofresponsibility,as their parent explains the necessaryprocesses of keeping their pet happy and healthy.Asa child matures,they can then take on more of thedaily responsibilities,boosting their sense ofindependence.Pets also provide a fantastic subject for research andlearning.Parents can encouragé their child toresearch their favorite pets at the library or during asupervised internet search.Taking.children along tothe pet shop tobuy food and supplies will supporttheir cognitive development as their passion forlearning flourishes.A child's physical development can benefit greatlyfrom taking pets for walks in the fresh air.Even theirfine motor skills can be utilized in taking care of abeloved animal.When responsibilities are well paced andcommunicated,a child can

friend who does.Q19.What does research show about reading to aloyal and non judgmental companion?Q20.How can parents make petsafantastic subjectfor their children's research and learning?Q21.How can children still benefit even when theirfamily doesn't have a pet?Passage 03A new bill in the Ohio legislature would require statepublic colleges and universities to send prospectivestudents apacket of information.This would includecosts of college grants and scholarships.It wouldalso include expected monthly loan payments andprojected salary after college.State Representative Adam Loinbo is one of

from the 56.7 million dollarsbudgeted for the current school year.Thereare some factors that could affect thebudget moving forward.One of those istotal enrollment.The district will have atotal enrollment of 3,742 students.Almostall of these students will be in kindergartenthrough high school,but 66 will be in　　prekindergarten and other programs.Thisrepresents 47 fewer students than thecurrent year.Fewer students mean lessfederal and state funding.　　Q03.What does the news report say theWilton School Board has done?　　Q04.What will a decline in thetotalenrollment lead to?　　News

amessage asking people to remain calm.Thepolice assured everyone that it was just thunderand lightning rather than some military exercise.The weather was the coldest it had been for theseason,so

possiblyafford a new phone.But,now thatyou mention it,I dothink getting another phone so soon is wasteful,regardless of the cost.　　M:Maybe you're right,but the thing is,everyone at theoffice has a nice,expensive phone,and I'm a little　　embarrassed by mine.I just got a credit card,soI thoughtI might as well buy a new phone.　　W:I don't think buying a phone on credit is a good idea.Look,you've only been working for five months now.Peopleunderstand that youare a recent graduate,and Idoubt anyone cares about your phone other than yourself.　　M:Maybeyou're right,but thecredit card has a very goodspecial offer,where I don't pay any interest for six months.I'll be ableto pay for the phone well before that period isover.　　W:I still think it's a bad idea touse a credit card for　　something you don't need.One of my colleagues bought alot of things on credit during her first year of work,and itbecame a bad habit,and she accumulated a lot of debt.　　M:Well,I can see how that might happen to

are as small as 20 square meters.That's not a realistic size for families.M:I do talk about very small homes,but there's no set definitionof a tiny home.And other people include homes that are muchlarger,say,60 square meters.And you'd be surprised.Manyfamilies of four are happy living in houses thatare under 30square meters.　　W:But I think most of us want spacious homes.The averagenew house in this area is 150 square meters.And that's whatpeople dream of owning.M:Yes,but I think that dream needs to change,considering thecost of housing.W:Housing costs are high,but do people really save that muchby having a smaller home?M:Absolutely.Many people who can only afford to rent a largerhome are able to buy a tiny home.In this city,the average homecosts $200,000,and a tiny home costs just $50,000.W:Those are huge savings.　　M:So,tiny homes might not be for everyone,but they're a goodoption for many.W:You mentioned the environment earlier.How does this benefitthe planet?M:Well,if people

outlet for frustration,anxiety oranger and can become a healthy coping skill throughoutlife.Finally,we know that physical activity is important forour physicaland mental health and cultivating the habit ofphysical activity startsearly.Children are more likely todevelop a lifelong love of physical activity from frequentpositive early experiences.Not every child enjoys　　competitive sports or playing with balls,and that's okay.There are plenty of other options,such as imaginativeplay,non competitive games,and gardening or natureexperiences.　　Q16.What do children seem tohave a natural desire todo?　　Q17.According to the American Psychological　　Association,what does regular physical activity do tochildren?　　Q18.What does the passage say about cultivating thehabit of physical activity?　　Passage 02　　A new study finds that job seekers are even willing toexplore jobs with lower salaries,when companies aremore diverse.It finds that sharing information aboutdiversity makes job postings more attractive to jobseekers,even when pay is lower.　　To conduct the study,the team partnered with an onlinejob listings platform,which emails postings relevant toindividuals and their job search criteria.　　Thank you For the course of the 11 week study,theplatform emailed job listings to some 180,000 users placedin one of two conditions.In the baseline condition,participants saw emails in the normal format,with noinformation on diversity.In the diversity condition,participants saw a diversity score for each listing,information about the race,gender,education,andlanguage skills of a company's workforce compared toothers in the same sector and location.Information wasthen gathered on whether the email was opened andwhich job listings were clicked on by each user.　　Participants in the diversity condition tended to click on joblistings from companies with slightly higher diversityscores than those in the baseline condition.　　That is,participants seemed to be paying attention toinformation about diversity.And using this,when decidingwhether to click on the listing.Andthe team also foundthat participants were willing to look at listings with lowersalaries,if they came from companies with a higherdiversity score.　　Q19.When arejob seekers willing to explore jobs withlower salaries,according to a new study?Q20.What did participants see in the baseline condition ofthe study?　　Q21.What doesthe passage say participants seem to bepaying attention to?　　Passage 03　　A new study from Oregon State University found thatdogs tend to match their behavior with the children intheir family.The findings are important because thereisa growing body of evidence that dogs can helpchildren in many ways.These include helping withsocial development,increasing physical activity,managing anxiety or serving as a source of　　attachment in the face of changing family structures.Yet very little research has focused on how dogsperceive and socially engage with children.Thegreat news is that this study suggests dogs arepaying a lot of attention to the kids that they livewith,said Monique Oudel,the lead author of the　　study.One interesting thing we have observed is thatdogs are matching children's behaviour,but lessfrequently than what we have seen between dogsand adults.This suggests that while dogs may viewchildren as social companions,there are also somedifferences that we need tounderstand better.Whileresearch has found dogs can have a lot of positiveimpacts on a child's life,there are also risksassociated with a dog child relationship.For　　example,other studies have found dogs are morelikely to bite children versus adults.We still have a lotto learn about the dog child relationship.ELL said,but research does show that kids are very capable oftraining dogs.　　Q22.What does the passage say about the findings of anew study from Oregon State University?　　Q23.What does a growing body of evidence show,according to the passage?　　Q24.What did Monique Oudel say their study suggests?　　Q25.What does research show kids are very capable ofdoing?
