Nancy is reading a biography of her favourite author. Read the biography and choose the best
answers by blackening the circles.
Lewis Carroll
Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was born
in England in 1832. He had many talents, including being a mathematician and
a photographer. But he is best known as the author of the popular children’s novel
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
When Carroll was very young, he suffered a fever which caused him to be
deaf in one ear. He also suffered from a bad stammer, which made it difficult for
him to speak with confidence.
Carroll started writing poems and stories from a young age, first for the
family magazine, and then for national newspapers and magazines. His famous
book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was published in 1865. Due to the
success of the book, Carroll published a sequel in 1871 － Through the Looking
Glass And What Alice Found. By the time of Carroll’s death in 1898, the Alice
series had become the most popular children’s book in England.

Marco is reading an article in a magazine. Read the article carefully and and choose the best
answers by blackening the circles.
?
Do you know that some food can help improve your mood? Scientists have
found that chemicals in the food you eat affect the mood you have. So if you want
to have a better day, pay attention to what you put on your plate. Here are some
good examples.
Bananas are common but very healthy. They are rich in vitamin B. There is a
chemical in your brain called dopamine, which helps reduce your level of stress and
keep you calm. Eating bananas can help increase the level of dopamine in your
brain. They can give you energy too. Have a banana as a mid-morning snack and
you can have energy for the rest of the morning.
Some people call blueberries a superfood. These little round blue gems are
sweet and rich in vitamins. They also have a lot of iron and magnesium, which the
body needs to stay healthy. They are full of antioxidants that can help you fight
against the harmful effects of stress and anger on the body. Blueberries are perfect
as snacks.
Salmon is good for your heart because it is full of omega-3 fatty acids and
vitamin D. You can also find omega-3 fatty acids in walnuts. Omega-3 fatty acids
and vitamin D are good for your brain too. Omega-3 fatty acids are especially good
to help you think well.
Next time when you go to the supermarket, be smart in what you put in your
shopping trolley. Choose the right food!

Catherine is reading a leaflet. Read the leaflet carefully and choose the best answers by

Clean Water Action
Bringing hope to people in Africa!
There is very little rainfall in Africa. Plants can’t grow because it is too dry.
People are starving because they do not have enough food to eat. Also, about 350
million people have no access to clean water. We aim to reduce this number to
zero.
Clean Water Action is a charity based in the United States. We run projects in
many African countries, including Sudan, Rwanda and Uganda.
Drinking dirty water can cause disease or even death. We make a difference by
giving villagers the tools and the skills they need to build wells. Each well can
provide a village with clean, safe drinking water for years to come.
To help us with our work, we are now inviting you to join our Charity Day. Here
are the details:
Date: 8th Mar (Sun)
Time: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Place: Hong Kong Park
Activities: charity music show, craft stalls,
raffle tickets sales, etc.
You can also join our upcoming Charity Walk. For details, please visit our

Over the Rainbow
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow

Have you ever received an
electric shock when shaking
hands with someone? This is
static electricity, which we can
find in many things and places
around us. For example:
sometimes a plastic bag will
stick to your hand; your hair
may stand up when you are
combing it; you may even feel
stat ic e lectr ic i ty when you touch metal .
Static electricity is created by rubbing two
non-conductors together.
What to do …
Chapter 2
4
You need … a balloon a pair of
scissors a piece of
flannel aluminium
foil puffed rice
5
1. Cut the aluminium
foil into small
pieces.
2. Rub the balloon on
the flannel to create
static electricity.
3. Place the balloon
above the foil
pieces. They will rise
and stick to the
balloon.
4. Try it with other
materials such as
puffed rice. The
same happens!
Vocabulary: non-conductor (n), static electricity (n phr),
flannel (n), electric shock (n phr),
puffed rice (n phr)

Now, try to do the experiment with other objects to see whether there is static electricity. Source: The Standard Goodies –Section G09 - Science Fun

Did you know …
Everything is made up of negative electrons,
positive protons and neutral neutrons. When two
items are rubbed together, the electrons move
between them. When there are more electrons on
one side, and more protons on the other, the two
items are oppositely charged. Since opposites
attract, the foil – in the above case – will move
towards the balloon. The shock you feel is when
electrons jump from your body to another object!

have.

Perhaps you like to see the ‘big picture’ of life and how things fit
together. Little details may annoy you. You probably enjoy being
free and taking risks.

Or consider working with big ideas that will make a difference in
the world. Look for a job that will let you affect policies, maybe in
government.

You may be interested in the causes of things and how past
mistakes can be used to shape the future. You’re probably very
curious about how different people live.

human behavior might be the place for you. You might enjoy a job
where you can affect the future.

be both. Perhaps you like to know everything that is going on
around you.
CAREER CLUES: Some good careers for observers are writer,
artist or private investigator.

4. If you chose X-ray vision…
Perhaps you like to ‘see through’ problems and go to the heart of
an issue. You might enjoy finding problems that other people
can’t even see. You might also enjoy solving problems.

crowd-pleaser!

really thinking.

psychologist. It’s important for professionals in those careers to
understand how other people think and feel.
10

right into the future if you could! Perhaps you’re always looking at
what might be possible and wondering how to make it happen
sooner.

be right for you. Think about becoming an explorer, research
scientist, inventor or science fiction writer.

You probably pay close attention to sounds and patterns. You
may like to be fully informed about the latest news. Maybe you’re
even nosy!
CAREER CLUES: You might make an excellent reporter or
gossip columnist. Or you might decide to become a musician.

Inspirational Stories
1. Puppies for Sales
A pet store owner was tacking a sign above his door that
read "Puppies for Sale." The signs have a way of
attracting children. Soon a little boy appeared at the sign
and asked, "How much are you going to sell those
puppies for?" The store owner replied, "Anywhere from
$30-$50." The little boy reached into his pocket and
pulled out some change. "I have $2.37, can I look at
them?" The store owner smiled and whistled.
Chapter 4
12
Out of the kennel came his dog named Lady, running
down the aisle of his store followed by five little puppies.
One puppy was lagging considerably behind.
Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging, limping
puppy. He asked "What's wrong with that little dog?"
The man explained that when
the puppy was born the vet
said that this puppy had a
bad hip socket and would
limp for the rest of his life. The
little boy got really excited
and said, "That's the puppy I
want to buy!" The man replied
"No, you don't want to buy
that little dog. If you really
want him, I'll give him to you."
The little boy got upset. He looked straight into the man's
eyes and said "I don't want you to give him to me. He is
worth every bit as much as the other dogs and I'll pay the
full price. In fact I will give you $2.37 now and 50 cents
every month until I have him paid for." The man
countered, "You really don't want to buy this puppy son.
He is never going to be able to run, jump and play like
13
other puppies."
The little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to
reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big
metal brace. He looked up at the man and said, "Well, I
don't run so well myself and the little puppy will need
someone who understands."
The man was now biting his bottom lip. Tears welled up in
his eyes. He smiled and said, "Son, I hope and pray that
each and every one of these puppies will have an owner
like you."
2. Sand and Stone
A story tells that two
friends were walking
through the desert.
During some point of the
journey they had an
argument, and one friend
slapped the other one in
the face.
The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying
anything, wrote in the sand:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE
FACE.
14
They kept on walking until they
found an oasis, where they
decided to take a bath. The one
who had been slapped got stuck in
the mire and started drowning, but
the friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on
a stone:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend
asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and
now, you write on a stone, why?"
The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we
should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness
can erase it away. But, when someone does something
good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind
can ever erase it."

10 Interesting Facts about Dreams
Dreaming is one of the most mysterious and interesting
experiences in our lives. But what do we actually know
about dreams?
Here are 10 interesting facts about dreams – enjoy and
what’s most important, don’t forget to share your dream
stories!
1. Dreams are very difficult to remember Every human being dreams. Often when we wake up we
fail to remember even a single sequence of the dream we
had during the night. Dreams are almost always forgotten.
2. Animals dream too Studies have been done on many different animals, and
they all show the same brain waves during dreaming sleep as
humans. Watch a dog sleeping sometime. The paws move
like they are running and they make yipping sounds as if they
are chasing something in a
dream.
Chapter 5

3. Children have more nightmares than adults
It is widely studied that children
have more nightmares than
adults. Childhood dreams are
shorter than adult dreams and
nearly 40% of them are nightmares.
4. Blind people also dream
People who became blind after birth can see images in
their dreams. People who are born blind do not see any
images, but have dreams equally vivid involving their other
senses of sound, smell, touch and emotion.
5. Some people only dream in black and white
Some people dream only in black and white while about
70% of people dream in colors. Certain dreams are very
common to some people such as, failing an exam, getting up
late for the exam, dreams related to one's school, seeing a
person dead who is alive in real life, being chased by
someone etc.
17
6. Men and women dream differently Men tend to dream more about other men. Around 70% of
the characters in a man’s dream are other men. On the other
hand, a woman’s dream contains almost an equal number of
men and women.
7. We only see faces that we already know Our mind is not inventing faces – in our dreams we see
real faces of real people that we have seen during our life but
may not know or remember. We have all seen hundreds of
thousands of faces throughout our lives, so we have an
endless supply of characters for our brain to utilize during
our dreams.
8. Emotions The most common emotion
experienced in dreams is anxiety.
Negative emotions are more
common than positive ones.
9. You can have four dreams in one night The average person has about 1,460 dreams a year. That’s
about four per night. Most of us dream every 90 minutes,
and the longest dreams (30-45 minutes) occur in the morning.
You cannot snore and dream at the same time.
18
10. What are in your dreams? Dreams of losing teeth can signify many things, including
fears of helplessness or of some sort of loss in one’s life.
Women experience more teeth dreams than men.
Dreams of dirty water may signal that the dreamer is not
healthy.
An alien in a dream may indicate that the dreamer is
experiencing difficulty adjusting to new conditions or a new
environment, or that his or her personal space is being
invaded.
Well, I hope you had a great time reading these strange
facts about our dreams. Now I’m going to my bed to check

Drifting along in the darkness, There was nothing to do but wait. What would I say to my mum now? What was it that made me so late? Suddenly it was all over, From the end of a pipe I shot Into a part of the ocean Where the rubbish was sent to rot. Glad to escape from the tunnel To leave all pollution behind, I found a nice spot on the beach, Then started to bathe and unwind. But bad things began to pursue me, They stuck to my feet and my hand, Wreckage was surfing the wave tops And oil lay around on the sand.
