Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards (the scaled group, Squamata) but
from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes are not slimy. They are
covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the
ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are cold-blooded; they need the sun’s
warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in tress, some live in water, but most live on the ground in
deserted rabbit burrows, in thick long grass and in old logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, mice and other snakes. The Anaconda can eat small crocodiles and even
bears. Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Some snakes are protected by scaring their enemies away like the Cobra.

Boarding School Education
There are many arguments in favor of a boarding school education. Nevertheless, the boarding school is not always the best
education institution for everyone.
At an early age interacting and communicating with people is very important for a child’s personal life and can be especially helpful
for his/her future. In a boarding school, shy children can take advantage of interaction through communal activities. The boarding
school also offers a great variety of activities such as arts, sports, and music that allow children to demonstrate and develop
specialized skills in their free time.
Furthermore, the structured way of life and strict rules at the boarding school may helps students to get used to a well ordered way
of life. The manners and social skills will help them to become more responsible and confident, and to develop their talents in
leadership. Professionally trained teachers and educators in the boarding school can offer excellent education without the parents’
constant supervision.
In spite of these good points, it is not advisable to send a child to a boarding school if he/she is a dependent learner. A boarding
school usually demands that student learn independently. In addition, the boarding school should not be seen as a measure to
solve inappropriate behavior or unsatisfactory study performance. Instead of improving, problematic children may close off their
relationship with their peers and teachers.
In conclusion although a boarding school may provide good education to many children, it is not recommended for those who are
strongly attached to their families. They may become frustrated and socially isolated.

45. According to the writer, children in a boarding school can develop specialized skills in…
A. Entrepreneurship B. Community service C. Reading D. Drama E. Music

46. Why do parents send their children to boarding school? Because…

A. It is good for shy children
B. It gives good education for adults
C. Interacting and communicating with people is very important
D. It does not allow children demonstrate excellence and develop their skills
E. It is safe and makes children become responsible and develop talents in leadership
47. From the text, we can conclude that…
A. The boarding school can be very expensive
B. There are good and bad boarding schools
C. The boarding school is the solution to our educational problems
D. It’s not necessary to send children to a boarding school because the students can live independently
E. Not everyone thinks that the boarding school is the best educational institution for children
