The following text is for Questions 1 to 3.


A farmer had some young dogs to sell. He painted a sign advertising the young dogs and nailed it, on the fence of
his yard. While he was nailing on the fence, a boy came, and said, "I want to buy one of your young dogs.". "Well," said
the farmer, as he wiped the sweat off the back of his neck, "these young dogs come from fine parents and cost a lot of
money."
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then he reached deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of coins
and gave then to the farmer. "I only have these. Are they enough to have a young dog?" "Sure," said the farmer.
The farmer whistled, "Here, Dolly!" he called. Dolly, the mother dog, came out of the doghouse followed by four
little puppies. The little boy pressed his face against the fence. He was very happy. He liked them very much.
After the dogs came closer to the fence, the little boy saw something else from the doghouse. Slowly another
young dog appeared; this one was small and ugly. Walking abnormally, the little young dog mixed with the others, doing
its best to catch up. "I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the ugly small dog. The farmer said, "Son, you don't
want that dog. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would."
Then the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. By
doing so, he showed his false leg. He had no left leg. Looking at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run too well
myself, and he will need someone who, understands."

vitamins, especially vitamins A and C, and many minerals, such as calcium, potassium, and zinc. They also provide fiber

make us fat.
People use fruits for many things. We make juices from them. We cook bread and pie with them. We make jams,
jellies and sweets. We freeze them to eat later. We even make alcohol from fruit. Beer comes from grains, wine comes

The hare was once boasting of his speed to the other animals. “I have never yet been beaten,” he said,
“when I put forth my full speed. I challenge any one here to race with me.”

The tortoise said quietly, “I accept your challenge.”

“That is a good joke,” said the hare, “I could dance around you all the way.”

“Keep your boasting till you’ve won,” answered the tortoise. “Shall we race?”

So a course was fixed and a start was made. The hare darted almost out sight of once, but soon stopped,
and to show his contempt for the tortoise, lay down to have a nap. The tortoise plodded on and plodded on,
and when the hare awoke from his nap, he saw the tortoise just near the winning-post and could not run up
in time to save the race.

Then, the tortoise said, “Slow but steady progress wins the race.”
