Passage A
The Power of a Smile
A smile is a powerful tool. It can change a person's day, and sometimes even their life. It costs nothing but gives so much. A simple smile can show kindness, warmth, and friendship.
Scientists have found that smiling can make us feel happier, even if we don't feel like it at first. When we smile, our brain releases chemicals that make us feel good. This is why even "forcing" a smile can lift our spirits. Smiling is also contagious. When someone smiles at us, we often smile back without thinking. This small act can create a chain reaction of positivity in a group of people.
In our daily lives, we often rush around and forget to connect with others. A smile can break the ice in an awkward situation. It can say "I'm friendly" without using any words. It can also help reduce stress. For example, when you're feeling nervous before a big exam or a presentation, try smiling. It might help you relax and feel more confident.
So, don't underestimate the power of a smile. The next time you see someone who looks sad or stressed, offer them a smile. You might just make their day a little brighter.

The Panda Base in Chengdu
If you want to see the world's most beloved animal, the giant panda, the best place to go is the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in China. Opened in 1987, it started with only six sick or hungry pandas. Today, it is home to over 100 pandas, making it one of the most successful panda breeding centers in the world.
The base is more than just a zoo. It is a research center dedicated to saving this endangered species. Scientists and veterinarians (兽医) work together to study panda health, behavior, and reproduction (繁殖). They hope to increase the panda population and one day release healthy pandas back into the wild.
Visitors to the base can see pandas of all ages. You can watch the lovely baby pandas in the nursery, play with each other, or sleep peacefully. You might also see adult pandas eating bamboo, which is their main food. They can eat for more than 10 hours a day! The base is designed to look like a natural forest, so the pandas live in a comfortable and safe environment.
To protect pandas, the Chinese government has set up many nature reserves. However, the work at the Chengdu Panda Base is just as important.

Passage C
My School's Green Club
Our school's Green Club was started last year by a group of students who cared deeply about the environment. I joined because I wanted to make a difference. The club has about 30 members, and we meet every Friday after school.
Our main goal is to reduce waste in our school. One of our first projects was to start a recycling program. We placed special bins for paper, plastic, and cans in every classroom and the cafeteria. We also made posters to teach other students what can be recycled. It was hard work at first, but now most students in our school are recycling correctly.
Another project we are proud of is our "No Plastic Bag" campaign. We encouraged students to bring their own reusable bags or lunch boxes. To make it more fun, we held a competition for the "Most Creative Reusable Bag." The winner received a small prize. This campaign really helped cut down on the amount of plastic waste from our school.
This year, we are planning to start a small garden on the school roof. We want to grow vegetables and herbs. This will teach us about nature and where our food comes from. We hope to use some of the produce in the school cafeteria.
Being in the Green Club has taught me that even small actions can lead to big changes. It feels great to work with friends to make our school and our planet a better place.
When does the Green Club meet? A. Every morning. B. Every Friday afternoon. C. Once a month. D. On weekends.
What was the first project of the Green Club? A. A "No Plastic Bag" campaign. B. Starting a recycling program. C. Building a small garden. D. Making posters for the cafeteria.
How did the club encourage students to use reusable bags? A. By giving away free plastic bags. B. By holding a competition for the best bag. C. By putting up more posters. D. By charging money for plastic bags.
What will the club do with the vegetables they grow? A. Sell them to raise money. B. Give them to the club members. C. Use some in the school cafeteria. D. Keep them for their own lunches.
What is the writer's feeling about being in the Green Club? A. It is too much hard work. B. It is boring and tiring. C. It is meaningful and enjoyable. D. It is only for students who love science.
