Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Tuesday, 1stSeptember I had mixed feelings today, nervous, worried, happy, excited... My heart went down when Miss Chan, our head teacher, said that Matthew and Beth, two students from England, would spend three months with us! I was worried that I had to speak English so much! But at the end of the school day, I was happier than I thought: the morning with them today was more enjoyable than I expected. Today is the most unforgettable first day I have had! Matthew is fantastic! His English is clearer and easier to listen to than I thought. The other English student, Beth, is the most helpful girl I've ever met. There were lots of things to do on the first day. Beth offered to help Miss Chan put up all the notices. Of course, some of the credit   should also go to ME because I translated some of the notices for her. Miss Chan praised us! We finished all the preparations 10 minutes earlier than expected, then Beth and I talked for a while, Matthew sang several English songs and did some stand-up comedy   at the party. We all praised him. When the bell rang to end the first school day, none of us wanted to leave. When I went back home, I had a little headache. I have probably spoken more English today than the whole of last year. It was really a happy day! I hope our friendship can continue, even after they gone back to England! Question: Beth helped Miss Chan with the   _  . Answer:
****
A: notices


Read the following article and answer the question. Article: In the 13th century , the famous Italian traveller, Marco Polo, travelled a long way to China.During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century . A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented  paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book. Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons  of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper.This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don't, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper. So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs   and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant gives us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later. Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect  trees. But we should do it now , before it is too late. Question: People in western countries first used paper money in the  _   century. Answer:
OPTIONS:
- 17th
- 15th
- 13th
- 7th
15th

Question: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo teacher, Mr. Tanaka. The boy was doing well, but his teacher had taught him only one move in three months of training. "Mr. Tanaka," the boy finally asked, "shouldn't I be learning more moves?" "This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," his teacher replied. Several months later, Mr. Tanaka took the boy to his first tournament  . The boy won his first three matches, using his one move to win. The boy was now in the finals, and was amazed by his own success. This time, his opponent   was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. The referee   wanted to stop the match. "No," the teacher insisted, "let him continue." Soon, his opponent lowered his guard. At that moment the boy used his move to pin   him. The boy won the match and became the champion. On the way home, the boy and his teacher reviewed every match. Then the boy asked what was really in his mind. "Mr. Tanaka, how did I win the tournament with only one move?" "You won for two reasons," his teacher answered. "First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only defense   for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm." The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength  . Question: How did the boy feel when he was in the finals? Answer:
OPTIONS:
- Proud.
- Surprised.
- Worried.
- Happy.
