Read the passage below, then try the questions before checking the answers.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Passage 1<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honeybees are small insects, but they play a very large role in our food supply. When a bee lands on a flower to collect nectar, grains of pollen stick to its body. As it moves to the next flower, some of this pollen rubs off, and the flower can then form seeds and fruit. This process is called pollination. Many of the fruits, vegetables and nuts we eat every day depend on it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A honeybee colony is a well-organised community. It usually has one queen, who lays eggs, and thousands of worker bees, who collect food, clean the hive and guard the entrance. When a worker finds a good patch of flowers, she returns to the hive and performs a special movement known as the waggle dance. The direction and length of the dance tell other bees where the flowers are and how far away they lie.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sadly, bee numbers have been falling in many parts of the world. Scientists point to the loss of wild flowers, the heavy use of chemical pesticides and changing weather patterns as the main causes. Farmers, gardeners and ordinary citizens can help by planting flowering plants, avoiding harmful sprays and protecting natural habitats.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Questions<\/b><\/h3><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does pollination take place?

Your job is to spot the arguments and understand the writer&#8217;s attitude.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Passage 2<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Few topics divide parents and teachers as sharply as the use of mobile phones in school. Supporters argue that a phone is a powerful learning tool. It can open a dictionary, an encyclopedia or a video lesson in seconds, and many students use it to scan notes or solve doubts. For parents, a phone also offers peace of mind, since a child can call home in an emergency.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Critics see things differently. They point out that a single notification can pull a student&#8217;s attention away from the lesson, and a quiet corner of the classroom can easily turn into a game or a chat. Teachers also worry that constant screen time weakens face-to-face conversation and makes it harder for young people to concentrate for long.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The truth may lie somewhere in the middle. Instead of banning phones completely or allowing them freely, schools could set clear rules. Phones could be kept in a locker during lessons and used only when a teacher asks for them. Such a system would protect learning time while still letting students gain the benefits of technology. After all, the aim of education is not to keep technology out, but to teach young people to use it wisely.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Questions<\/b><\/h3><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give two arguments in favour of phones in school.

Its thick branches dropped roots to the ground like old men leaning on walking sticks, and its leaves whispered secrets to every passing breeze. As children, we believed the tree listened to us.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every evening, when the sun melted into a golden pool behind the fields, the elders gathered beneath it. The air smelled of wood smoke and wet earth. Somebody would start a story, and soon the circle grew with children sitting cross-legged, eyes wide, forgetting even their hunger. Laughter rose and fell like waves, and the old tree seemed to lean closer to hear.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Years later, I returned to the village after a long time in the city. The tree was still there, a little more bent, a little more grey. I sat on its roots and closed my eyes. The noise of the city slipped away, and in the rustle of the leaves I heard the old stories again. I understood then that a home is not only a place we live in.
