Out in the Pacific Ocean, 3,700 kilometers from Los Angeles, are the islands of Hawaii, the

Captain Cook visited Hawaii. He put the islands on his maps of the Pacific Ocean. Then more
ships knew Hawaii and began stopping there for supplies.
In 1820, a small group of people from the eastern United States came to teach the Hawaiian
people about Christianity. They started farms to grow sugar cane and pineapples. Because
there were not enough people to do all the farm work, farm owners brought in Asians -
Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinos.
Later Koreans, Portuguese, and Puerto Ricans also came. More people came from the US
mainland and from other Pacific islands, and Hawaii became an island with traditions from
several countries. People from the various nation groups have married each other, so today
the groups are partly mixed.
Hawaiians are very friendly and always welcome visitors. They celebrate traditional Chinese,
Japanese, and Filipino holidays as well as holidays from The United states. Hawaii is known
as the Aloha State. "Aloha" mean "hello", "goodbye", and "I love you" in Hawaiian./.

The 'Mary Celeste' was built in 1861 in Canada. When it was launched, it was given the name
'The Amazon'. It was not a lucky ship. The first captain died a few days after it was registered,
and on its first voyage in 1862 it was badly damaged in a collision. When it was repaired in
port, it caught fire. In 1863 it crossed the Atlantic for the first time, and collided with another
ship in the English Channel. Four years later, in 1867, it ran aground on Cape Breton Island,
off the Canadian coast. The ship was almost completely wrecked and had to be rebuilt. It was
then sold and the name was changed to the 'Mary Celeste'.

(c), or (d) to each question. (1.0 pt)
During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often
seem to dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school.
This is a normal development at this age, though it can be very hard for parents to
understand. It is part of becoming independent, of teenagers trying to be adults while they are
still growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are
asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their son or daughter about school work and future
plans but should not push them to talk if they don't want to. Parents should also watch for the
danger signs: some young people in trying to be adults may experiment with alcohol or
smoking. Parents need to watch for any signs of unusual behaviors which may be connected
with these and get help if necessary.

a) parent's handbook b) teenage magazine c) school timetable d) children's book
2. What is the writer trying to do?
a) to be helpful b) to be amusing c) to be questionable d) to be sorry
3. Why do adults sometimes find teenagers difficult?
a) because most teenagers are quiet.
b) because teenagers don't want to talk to their parents.
c) because teenagers think adults are not honest.
d) because most teenagers hate adults.
4. When can you expect a young person to be more talkative than usual?
a) When adults give them a lot of money to spend.
c) When adults talk to them about something other than their work in school.
d) When adults talk to them about alcohol and smoking.
đ) When people talk to them because they are really interested and not yet checking up on
them.
