MY VILLAGE

1…………..

I live in a village by the Mekong River. Every day, like most of my friends, I walk to school. It is three kilometres away. After class, I often help my mother collect water from the river and feed the chickens. At the weekend, the villagers often gather at the community hall where there is a TV. The adults watch TV, but more often they talk about their farm work and exchange news. The children run about, playing games and shouting merrily. Laughter is heard everywhere.

2……………….

My father sometimes takes me to the market town nearby where he sells our home products like vegetables, fruits, eggs ... He then buys me an ice cream and lets me take a ride on the electric train in the town square. I love those trips.

3………………..

On starry nights, we children lie on the grass, looking at the sky and daring each other to find the Milky Way. We dream of faraway places.

Everyone knows that honeybees make honey, but how do they actually do it? Honeybees live in colonies, which means that they live with lots of other bees. Beehives, nests made of wax, are the places where they live and stow their honey.

Honeybees drink nectar from flowers or other sweet deposits from plants or trees. The honey made by these bees is used to supply the colony with food during the cold winter when there arc no flowers to drink from. Thus, these bees not only consume the nectar for nourishment but also bring it home. They have a special organ called a honey stomach which is used to carry the food to their colony.

When honeybees come back home, they regurgitate what they have put in their honey stomachs. Other honeybees in the hive come along and help them. They repeatedly eat and regurgitate many times until the product becomes somewhat digested. Next, the bees move the syrupy product into open honeycomb cells. Then they beat their wings to fan it to prevent fermentation. The fanning makes the water evaporate so that the product gets thick enough. Now it cannot easily be attacked by bacteria. Finally, it can be called honey. After this process, honeybees seal up the honeycomb cells with wax until they are hungry.

The most impressive part of this process is how seamlessly a bee colony works together. In a colony, there are female worker bees, male drones, and one queen bee. Although there are both male and females in the hive, the majority of the work is done by females. The female worker bees are in charge of taking care of the hive and creating honey. When they are young, they take care of feeding the young bee larvae. When they are older, they go out and bring nectar back to the hive, where they begin making honey. The male drones are responsible for fertilizing the eggs, but require little energy as they spend their time waiting around the hive. The single queen bee is responsible for the colony's survival. She is the only female that can lay eggs. The wonderful substance called honey would not exist without the bees' teamwork.

A. The role of the female honeybee
B. Preventing fermentation in honey
C. Why honeybees build huge wax nests
D. How a honeybee colony works to make honey

Earth Day is coming! Our class are going to celebrate it by making crafts from used materials in the recycle-reuse-renew lessons. We also buy some brand-new craft supplies to celebrate and learn about Earth Day. We start by looking for old things around our houses and bring them to class. Today, we learn how to make a hanging garden with plastic bottles. Large plastic bottles are turned into beautiful hanging planters in this green-living and green-thumb project. They are easy to make. All we have to do is to cut one side of the bottles so that we can put soil and plant small flowers in them. We can either bring the planters home or hang them on campus for a gorgeous hanging garden.

VI Read the following passage and answer each of the question below. ( 10 points )

We speak about the weather almost everyday. Before we begin doing something we want to know what kind of weather it is going to be.

Why do we speak about the weather so often? The answer is not difficult. We want sunny weather when we go for a walk in the country, and on a rainy day we stay at home reading books, watching TV or doing other things.

When we are at the seaside, windy weather is not pleasant . It is difficult to swim when the wind blows. And the wind can change good weather into bad one. The sun will stop shinning, and the rain may come.

And is there anything which we can do and must do in any weather? Yes, of coure there is. As English people say*rain or shine we must go to school.*.School is good in any weather, isn’t it?

It is obviously important for a farmer, a fisherman, an airplanr pilot, and a hip’s captain to know what the weather will be like. Unless they know what weather to expect , they cannot make their plans.

1 How often do we speak about the weather?

2 What do we usually do on a rainy day?

3 What is wrong with us when we are at the seasidde on a windy day?

4 According to the writer, what thing can we do and must we do in any weather?

5 Why is it important for us to know what kind of weather it is going to be?
