Read the text below and then choose the best answer!
A fox fell into a well and couldn't get out. By and by a thirsty goat came along. Seeing
the fox in the well, it asked if the water was good. “Good,” said the fox, “It’s the best water
I've tested in all my life. Come down and try it yourself.”
The goat was thirsty, so he got into the well. When he had drunk enough, he looked
around but there was no way to get out. Then the fox said, “I have a good idea. You stand on
your hind legs and put your forelegs against the side of the well. Then, I'll climb on your
back, from here. I'll step on your horns, and I can get out. And when I'm out, I'll help you out
of the well.”
The goat did as he was asked and the fox got on his back and climbed out of the well.
Then, he coolly walked away. The goat called out loudly after him and reminded him of his
promise to help him out. The fox merely turned to him and said,” If you only had thought
carefully about getting out, you wouldn't have jumped into the well.”
The goat felt very sad. He called out loudly. An old man walking nearby heard him and
put a plank into the well. The goat got out and thanked the old man.

All day I've been inside Open up your door
And I've got the feeling And then breathe free
I'm trapped between the walls Look at all the beauty you'll feel
And underneath the ceiling Love love love love
I feel a bit off track Listen to the music of the wind
And now I'm trying to get back And the birdies sing
Back in the cool cool air We're just one big family
Where the sun in shining And all of nature deserves to be
Nothing's gonna stop me Loved loved loved loved loved
It's all in the timing So I won't stay inside
It's finally again my turn No more no more
It's time to return It cannot wait
Cause I won't stay inside I'm sure

Read the text below for the questions no. 30 - 34!

WHAT IS THE AURORA BOREALIS?
The Aurora is an incredible light show caused by collisions between electrically charged
particles released from the sun that enter the earth’s atmosphere and collide with gases such
as oxygen and nitrogen. The lights are seen around the magnetic poles of the northern and
southern hemispheres.
Auroras that occur in the northern hemisphere are called ‘Aurora Borealis’ or ‘northern
lights’ and auroras that occur in the southern hempishere are called ‘Aurora Australis’ or
‘southern lights’.
Both Aurora’s can be seen in the northern or southern hemisphere, in an irregularly
shaped oval centred over each magnetic pole. Scientists have learned that in most instances
northern and southern auroras are mirror-like images that occur at the same time, with similar
shapes and colors. Aurora displays can appear in many vivid colors, although green is the
most common. Colors such as red, yellow, green, blue and violet are also seen occasionally.
The auroras can appear in many forms, from small patches of light that appear out of

nowhere to streamers, arcs, rippling curtains or shooting rays that light up the sky with an
incredible glow.
Auroras are the result of collisions between gaseous particles (in the Earth’s atmosphere)
with charged particles (released from the sun’s atmosphere). Variations in colour are due to
the type of gas particles that are colliding. The most common aurora color which is green, is
produced by oxygen molecules located about 60 miles above the earth. The rarer red auroras
are produced by high-altitude oxygen, at heights of up to 200 miles. Nitrogen produces blue
or purple aurora.
