Once, a cap seller was passing through a jungle. He was dead tired and needed to rest. Then, he stopped and spread a cloth under a tree. He placed his bag full of caps near him and lay down with his cap on his head. The cap seller had a sound sleep for one hour. When he got up, the first thing he did was to look into his bag. He was startled when he found all his caps were not there. He was wondering where they could have gone. Indeed, he was greatly puzzled. When he looked up the sky, he was very surprised to see monkeys sitting on the branches of a tree, each wearing a cap on his head. They had evidently done it to imitate him. He decided to get his caps back by making a humble request to the monkeys. In return, the monkeys only made faces of him. When he began to make gestures, even when he raised his fist towards them to threaten them, they also imitated him. At last he hit upon a clever idea. 'Monkeys are a great imitator,' he thought. So he took off his own cap and threw it down on the ground. As he had expected, all the monkeys took off the caps and threw them down on the ground. Quickly he stood up and collected the caps, put them back into his bag and went away

The following text is for questions 30 to 32.
Photosynthesis is the process of converting solar energy to chemical energy and storing it in bonds of sugar. This process occurs in plants and some algae (Kingdom Protista). Plants need only solar energy, CO2 and H2O to make sugar. The process of photosynthesis takes in the chloroplasts, specifically using chlorophyll, the green pigment involved in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis takes place primarily in plant leaves, and little to none occurs in stems, etc. The parts of a typical leaf include the upper and lower epidermis, the mesophyll, the vascular bundle(s) (veins), and the stomates. The upper and lower epidermal cells do not have chloroplasts, thus photosynthesis does not occur there. They serve primarily as protection for the rest of the leaf. The stomates are holes which occur primarily in the lower epidermis and are for air exchange: they let CO2 in and O2 out. The vascular bundles or veins in a leaf are part of the plant's transportation system, moving water and nutrients around the plant as needed. The mesophyll cells have chloroplasts and this is where photosynthesis occurs. As you hopefully recall, the parts of a chloroplast include the outer and inner membranes, intermembrane space, stroma, and thylakoids stacked in grana. The chlorophyll is built into the membranes of the thylakoids. Chlorophyll looks green because it absorbs the red and blue light, making these colors unavailable to be seen by our eyes. It is the green light which is not absorbed that finally reaches our eyes, making chlorophyll appear green. However, it is the energy from the red and blue light that are absorbed that is, thereby, able to be used to do photosynthesis. The green light we can see is not/cannot be absorbed by the plant, and thus cannot be used to do photosynthesis
30. What is the function of the upper and lower epidermis? A. To let Coe in and 02 out. B. To enable photosynthesis. C. To absorb leaf green lights. D. To protect the rest of the leaf. E. To transport the nutrient. 31. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. The plans can be colorful in absorbing the photosynthesis process. B. Photosynthesis needs absorption of colors. C. The energy to do photosynthesis is provided not by the green light. D. Chlorophyll enables photosynthesis to absorb colors. E. Photosynthesis process gives colors to the plans. 32. The passage indicates that photosynthesis takes place in .. A. the veins B. the stomates C. the membranes D. the epidermis E. the mesophyll

The following text is for questions 42 to 44.
There are many arguments in favor of a boarding school education. Nevertheless, the boarding school is not always the best education institution for everyone. At an early age interacting and communicating with people is very important for a child's personal life and can be especially helpful for his/her future. In a boarding school, shy children can take advantage of interaction through communal activities. The boarding school also offers a great variety of activities such as arts, sports, and music that allow children to demonstrate and develop specialized skills in their free time. Furthermore, the structured way of life and strict rules at the boarding school may help students to get used to a well ordered way of life. The manners and social skills will help them to become more responsible and confident, and to develop their talents in leadership. Professionally trained teachers and educators in the boarding school can offer excellent education without the parents' constant supervision. In spite of these good points, it is not advisable to send a child to a boarding school if he/she is a dependent leaner. A boarding school usually demands that student learn independently. In addition, the boarding school should not be seen as a measure to solve inappropriate behaviour or unsatisfactory study performance. Instead of improving, problematic children may close off their relationship with their peers and teachers. In conclusion although a boarding school may provide good education to many children, it is not recommended for those who are strongly attached to their families. They may become frustrated and socially isolated.
42. According to the writer, children in a boarding school can develop specialized skills in .. A. entrepreneurship B. community service C. reading D. drama E. music 43.

A. the boarding school can be very expensive B. there are good and bad boarding schools C. the boarding school is the solution to our educational problems D. it's not necessary to send children to a boarding school because the students can live independently E. not everyone thinks that the boarding school is the best educational institution for children
