The frog came again at dinner time. This time the

The Frog Prince
A princess was playing with her golden ball beside a lake. The ball fell into the water
and the princess began to cry. At that moment, a frog appeared and said, “I will find your
ball if you promise to be my friend.” The princess thought, “I don’t have to keep this
promise. I will never see the frog again.” So she agreed and the frog found her ball. The
mean princess skipped home without thanking the frog.
That night, there was a knock on the door and the frog’s voice called out:
“You promised to be my friend, please let me in.”
“What promise have you made?” the king asked.
“I promised to be his friend, but I won’t keep my word!” the princess answered.
The king said, “If you make a promise, you must keep it.”
So, she let the frog in. They ate together and he slept on a sofa in her room. He was
friendly and kind to her, but she was rude. The next morning, the frog hopped away. She
hoped he would never come back.
That night, at dinner time, the princess heard a knock on the door. It was the frog again.
This time she didn’t hate it so much. After dinner, they played with her ball before they went
to sleep in her room. The next morning, the frog hopped away again.

Have you ever made a promise that you didn’t want to keep? (1)
That’s what happened to the princess in this story. She promised to be friends
with a frog. Her father, the king, made her keep her promise. (2)
In the
end, she was glad she kept her promise. She also got rewarded for keeping
her promise because the frog turned into a prince! I think the story teaches us
a good lesson. (3)
In the end we will usually feel good about ourselves if
we keep our promises. But we should not expect a great reward like the one

It was Election Day at Sunshine Middle School. Erica was running for student
president. “If you elect me president,” she shouted, “there’ll be no more homework! And no
more school uniforms!” All the students cheered loudly. Erica was confident. She’d spent a
lot of time finding out what the students disliked.
Now it was Michael’s turn. “I
cannot change everything students
don’t like about the school,” he
began seriously, “but I promise to
work hard for you.”
“Boring!” Erica thought. She knew she was going to win the election. When Michael
finished, the audience clapped. After the students voted, all the votes were counted. At the
end of the day, the principal announced, “The new president is Michael!”
Erica was really surprised. She could not understand why the students voted for him
instead of her. She’d made promises about all the important issues. Her best friend, Jenny,
came running up to her. “Erica, I’m so sorry,” she said.
“I just can’t believe it,” Erica began. “They must have counted the votes wrong. I’ll ask
them to count them again!” Jenny shook her head. “I’m sorry, Erica, but there was no
mistake. I didn’t want to tell you, but all the students I know voted for Michael.”
“I don’t understand,” said Erica. “The kids were cheering at my speech. I told them
everything they wanted to hear.” “That’s just it,” said Jenny. “You made popular promises,
but everybody knew that you wouldn’t be able to keep those promises. They thought you’d
say anything to get elected.”
Erica knew one thing for sure:
next time she wouldn’t make promises
she couldn’t keep.

Election Promises
I could tell from the beginning of the story that Erica was not going to
win the election. I was glad she didn’t win because I didn’t like her attitude.
My school has elections for student president, too. First of all, her promises
seemed pie in the sky. She was just a student --- how could she change the
things she promised? There are things that I would like to change at my
school, though. Next, I didn’t like the way she acted toward Michael. She
thought his speech was boring. Finally, she didn’t accept the result. She
wanted the votes counted again! I think she was too confident. She should
have paid more attention to what the students were really thinking.

Imagine a flat area of land near a river. It is covered with beautiful tall grass. You can
hear many different birds singing. And you can see frogs hopping and crickets jumping. The
ground is wet, with large pools of water.
Welcome to the wetlands. Wetlands are near large bodies of water like rivers and
oceans. The land is partly covered with water. Wetlands are very important ecosystems.
Some endangered animals live in wetlands. Many fish and birds come to wetlands to lay
eggs. Wetlands also prevent floods. When the water in a river gets high, wetlands can keep
the extra water. When the water level of the river goes down, the wetlands slowly release
the extra water. Wetlands also clean water. Both the dirt and the plants in wetlands absorb
harmful things.
Unfortunately, wetlands are easily destroyed and they are disappearing quickly. Some
people use wetlands as a place to throw trash. Of course, this affects the whole ecosystem.
Other people destroy wetlands because they want to use the land. They fill some wetlands
with dirt to make the land higher and drier. Many governments in the world are trying to
save the wetlands, but some people think they are not doing enough.

Reading
I’m from Iowa, which is famous
for growing good corn. Every year
there is a contest to see who grows the
best corn, and for the past eleven years,
the same man, Farmer Duffy, has won.
As a reporter, I wanted to find
out his secret. So, I drove out to Mr.
Duffy’s farm. I told him that I was
writing a story about his prize-winning corn. “Tell me about the corn seeds,” I
said. “Did you develop them yourself?” Mr. Duffy smiled warmly. “My father
started the farm, and I took over after he passed away.” “What makes your corn
different from that corn over there?” I asked, pointing to his neighbor’s field.
“Nothing at all,” he said. “I give my neighbors my special corn seeds. We
all grow the same corn.”
“But how can you win the competition every year if you share your special
seeds?” I asked.
“Without sharing my seeds, I can’t win.” he said. “You see, corn releases
pollen into the air. The pollen blows around into different fields and lands on
other plants. The plants need the pollen to grow. So I have to make sure my
neighbors have good corn to pollinate my corn.”
“That’s the way it is with a lot of things because everything’s connected,”
he continued. “For peace, we have to help others live in peace. For happiness,
we have to help our neighbors be happy, too.” I realized that what Mr. Duffy
had said was wise and true. But, how come Mr. Duffy’s neighbors didn’t
ever win the contest?

“Growing Good Corn” teaches a new way to view success. Some people
think the only way to be successful is to be competitive. (1)__________, they
try to prove that they are better than everybody else. However, I think if they
read this story, they would feel differently about competition. They would see
that Mr. Duffy could not have been successful with his corn if he tried to be
better than his neighbors. (2)__________, I think this idea is true for business,
too. When some people are successful and others are not, it causes conflict.
(3)__________, it is easier to enjoy your success when others aren’t suffering
and jealous of you. (4)__________, this story is really worthwhile because it
teaches an important lesson.

The Special Olympics are like the
International Olympic Games,
but there is one big difference
between them: all the athletes
in the Special Olympics are
physically challenged.
At one Special Olympics nine
athletes lined up on the running
track to compete in the 200-meter race.
Andrew really wanted to win. He knew
it would be difficult because he was born
with one leg shorter than the other. Next
to Andrew was Anna, who had won this
race last time. Kazu was on the other
side of Andrew. This was Kazu’s first time at the Special Olympics. He had always wanted
to win a gold medal. The whistle blew and they began running. Andrew was running as hard
as he could. Anna started strong, too. Kazu started a couple of steps behind the others, but
he was catching up.
Suddenly, Andrew fell. The other athletes kept running, but Anna heard Andrew fall
and looked back. She wanted to win the race, but she couldn’t leave someone who might
be hurt. Kazu was just catching up to Andrew and saw him on the ground. Anna and Kazu
both bent over and grabbed Andrew’s arms. They helped him to stand up. “Come on,” Anna
yelled. “We’ve got to finish this race!”
The three of them ran as fast as they could down the track together. When they crossed
the line, everyone cheered.
Andrew, Anna, and Kazu didn’t win medals that day. But they knew winning wasn’t
everything. What was really important to them was making
sure that there were no losers.

“A United Effort” is a really interesting story. It is about a whale

War, when the USSR and the U.S. didn’t get along. I’m really interested in
politics and want to be a politician. When each country realized that some
whales might die if they didn’t cooperate, they set aside their differences
and worked together. I like working with other people because the work
goes faster. Sometimes people can see that there are some things more
important than politics.

On October 30, 1938, Orson Welles broadcast Welles’s story The War of the Worlds.
The story was about aliens attacking Earth. Because Welles used real time and real places,
some American audience believed it was real! Welles told the audience at the start of
program that they were listening to a fictional radio drama; however, thousands of listeners
turned on their radios later. A few believed that aliens were really attacking Earth.
A small, peaceful town, Grover’s Mill became the center of attention. Welles chose this
town as the place where the aliens would land. The radio broadcast began with reports of
strange weather conditions. It then described first falling stars landing near Grover’s Mill.
Alien ships came out of the falling stars and began to destroy the countryside. Finally, when
New York was destroyed, the world seemed to be at an end. The radio station then became
silent.
After a short time, Welles said that the whole program had been a kind of joke.
However, the people in Grover’s Mill were very afraid. Some called the police, others ran
away from their homes, and one person even killed himself. The broadcast became the most
famous sixty minutes in the history of radio.
1. Why did some American listeners believe The War of the Worlds radio program was real?
a. Orson Welles told the audience it was real.
b. Orson Welles was a famous actor so people believed him.
c. Orson Welles used real time and real places in the broadcast.
d. Orson Welles used his hometown as the place for the broadcast.
2. How long did The War of the Worlds program last?

Once upon a time an orphan named Charity lived in a fine house with a wicked old
woman and her mean daughter. They were cruel to Charity, making her work hard day and
night.
One day, they sent Charity to the market with only a tiny piece of bread for lunch. On
the way, Charity passed under a bridge where she saw an ugly old beggar.
“I have had nothing to eat for days,” the old beggar said.
Charity gave him her small piece of bread. Suddenly, he turned into a wizard.
“Your kindness will be rewarded,” he said. “Everything you touch will turn into gold.”
Charity reached down and touched a stone with her finger. It turned into gold.
Later, when the wicked woman and her daughter saw the gold stone, they demanded to
know where it came from. Charity told them about the wizard.
“Where is he?” they asked.
“Under the bridge,” replied Charity.
The next morning, the wicked woman and her daughter packed a fine lunch of bread,
cheese, and meat, and they went to the bridge. When they got there, they searched for the
wizard, but they only found the ugly old beggar.
“I have had nothing to eat for days,” he said.

stone. After that, Charity didn’t have to work
hard and lived happily ever after.

(1)___________________________ I think this is a very important lesson.
Sometimes it seems that selfish people are very successful. They have good
jobs, nice houses, and lots of money. It would seem that these people are
being rewarded for being selfish. But I don’t think these people are really
happy. Selfish people are not well-liked because they think only about
themselves. They don’t know the joy of helping people. Therefore, even if
they look successful on the outside, they are probably not happy on the inside.
(2)___________________________ These people have better relationships
and feel good about themselves. (3)___________________________
a. So I think it pays to be kind and hurts to be selfish.
b. The lesson of this story is that charity is rewarded and selfishness is punished.

Choose the best answer to each question.
What kind of clothes do you wear? Do you like dressy, comfortable, or trendy clothes?
Some people like to stay up-to-date with today’s fashion. These people spend a lot of money
on fashionable clothes. They feel it is important to follow fashion trends. Such trends usually
begin in cities like New York and Paris. Many famous clothing designers open fashion
shows in these cities.
Keeping up with fashion can be very exciting. At the same time, the problem with
fashion is that it changes quickly. Styles come and go. This is why the word “retro” is used
to describe some fashions. A “retro” look means that the style once went away, but is now
popular again.
As you can imagine, you will never stop buying new clothes. Fortunately, there are
some styles that never seem to go away. Can you think of one? That’s right --- blue jeans!
Blue jeans have been very popular for many years. So if you get tired of keeping up with
fashion, you can always put on jeans and a T-shirt ... and look great, too!

The story of the Red Cross begins with Henry Dunant, a Swiss businessman who saw
a terrible battle in 1859 in Italy. After the battle, 40,000 soldiers were dead or injured, but
there was no one to take care of them. Dunant worked for three days helping them.
When he returned to Switzerland, he wrote a book about his experience. The leaders of
many countries read his book and wanted to do something. As a result, the Red Cross was
established in Geneva, Switzerland in 1863. It was an organization that would help people
affected by war.
In 1884, there was another Red Cross meeting in Geneva. An American woman named
Clara Barton wanted the Red Cross to help people in peacetime as well as in wartime. She
wanted the Red Cross to get involved in disaster relief. Since then, the Red Cross has helped
millions of victims of earthquakes and other disasters all around the world.
The Red Cross not only works worldwide at big disasters, but also works in the
community, helping victims of small accidents or fires. The Red Cross is clearly fulfilling its
mission to stop suffering in this world.

a check in the box where the sentence belongs.
The International Red Cross
I think the subject of the story is very interesting. (1)
The Red Cross
is a great organization. (2)
However, I think that the story tried to cover
too much information in a short space. I would like to read more details about
certain parts instead of so much general information. (3)
For example, I’d
like to read more about the role of the Red Cross in the Indian earthquake.
(4)
My teacher always tells me to pick a very specific topic when I write.
Then I can write many details about that topic and answer all the readers’
questions. (5)
But when the topic is very general like this, there is not
enough information to satisfy the readers’ curiosity.
Also, I’d like to know more about how the Red Cross helped us during the floods.

The International Red Cross
Choose the best answer to each question.
One out of every ten people is left-handed. That is only ten percent of the world’s
population, which brings us to this question: Is left-handedness strange or special?
Centuries ago, many people believed left-handed people were the devil’s servants. Just
a generation ago, American parents tried to change their children’s left-handedness, even
tying their child’s left hand behind his or her back. Teachers also forced students to use their
right hands.
On the other hand, some people believe that left-handed people have special skills.
Scientifically, it has been shown that left-handed people use the right side of their brain more
than right-handed people. The right side of the brain is connected with genius, music, art, and
creativity. Famous lefties include Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Beethoven, and Albert
Einstein.
Although left-handed people have had a hard time throughout history, some have been
quite successful and have shown the world that being left-handed is not strange or evil,
but special and unique. In the end, what matters most is not whether we’re right-handed or
left-handed. The most important thing is what we do with our hands. How about waving a
friendly “Hello!” or giving someone a pat on the back? You can use either hand.
1. Which is NOT true according to the passage?
a. In the past, some people considered lefties as the devil’s servants.
b. American teachers forced students to use their left hands.
c. Some left-handed people have been very successful.
d. Ten percent of people in the world are left-handed.
2. What is the main idea of this passage?
a. Left-handed people are special.
b. People should develop the right side of their brain.
c. Left-handed people should try to use their right hands.
d. The most important thing is what we do with our hands.

When people think of cheese today, they think of Europe. Today, the most famous
cheeses come from Europe. However, people in Europe learned to make cheese from people
in the Middle East.
The ancient people of the Middle East were nomads. That means they lived in tents and
moved around a lot. These people needed to carry everything with them. To carry liquids
like water or milk, they used bags made of animal skin. These bags were carried by horses or
camels. But under the hot sun, the milk in the bags would curdle. That means some parts of
the milk would turn solid. As the animals walked, the bags would swing back and forth. The
swinging motion separated the solid parts of the milk from the liquids. The ancient nomads
drank the liquid. They also took out the solid parts, added some salt, and ate them. The solid
part of the milk had a lot of protein, so it was very good for these people. Over time, people
learned to use the liquid and the solid parts of milk in different ways.
