day of the year when children of all ages celebrate their mothers. On this
day, -Mother’s Day- children tell mothers that they love them, and thank
for their love and care. Mother’s Day is not a new celebration. Historians
say that it started as a festival in ancient Greece. The modern festival of
Mother’s Day probably comes from England in the 1600s, when people
had a day off from their jobs to visit their mothers on a day they called
“Mothering Sunday.” They took small gifts and a special cake called
“simnel cake.” In the United States, Mother’s Day became an official
holiday in 1914.

Points out of 1.0

Higher temperatures, extreme weather events and higher sea levels are
all linked to a warming climate and could have a drastic effect on the
world’s regions. Since 1900, sea levels have risen by on average about
19cm globally. The rate of sea-level rise has accelerated in recent
decades, placing a number of islands and low-lying countries at risk.

The retreat of polar ice sheets is an important contributor to this rise.

Arctic sea ice is also shrinking because of higher temperatures, though it
makes little contribution to raised sea levels. An area of sea ice roughly 10
times the size of the UK has been lost when the current day is compared
with average levels from the early 1980s.

According to the text, a negative effect of a higher sea levels

would be

Select one:
a. some countries and islands will disappear under the water.

b. the water decreases the temperature in the world wide.

c. polar ice sheets will get higher around the world.

d. it has no any relation to climate change on planet Earth.

Points out of 1.0
option:

Many schools are using QR codes as part of their technology in the

classroom as a way to enhance their students’ learning. What teachers
love about this technology in the classroom tool is that it’s making
learning a lot more fun for students. You may have seen QR codes before
-- companies use these tiny, scrambled-looking, black-and-white boxes as
marketing tools. Essentially, these little boxes act as a shortcut to a web
link when you scan them with your smartphone. QR codes (which stands
for quick response) can be a great learning tool when used in the
classroom. Here we’ll take a quick look at what they’re all about, as well
as how they can enhance student learning. What are Technology in the
Classroom QR Codes all about? Quick response codes are similar to a bar
code in the sense that they provide information to the user. When you
scan a QR code, it’ll direct you to a webpage, video or file. Teachers like to
use them because they’re easier than having students type in a whole web
address. This is especially true for the younger students who tend to
mistype. A QR code will take the student directly to where the teacher
wants them to go without having to type a thing. QR codes can enhance
learning by engaging students. They teach kids to think differently.

According to the author, using QR Codes

Select one:
a. make the learning process more boring for students.

b. can be a great learning tool when used in the classroom.

c. don't enhance student learning.

d. don´t teach kids to think differently.
