You are going to read a passage and 3 questions. For each question, choose the answer which you think fits best according to the text.

A new ruling which came into effect last week requires some homeowners to purchase new smoke alarms.  The ordinance states that there should be a fire alarm installed in every bedroom of the house, and these alarms must comply with certain safety standards. Some local residents are displeased at these new regulations.  Gwen Ellis of McKinley says that to meet with the new regulations, she has to buy five new alarms to replace the ones she installed just six months ago.  With fire alarms costing up to $20 apiece, this is an unwelcome ruling for many people. Fortunately, the McKinley Fire Department is offering grants for homeowners and will provide and install new fire alarms free of charge.  If you have small children or are older than 65 years of age, you may be eligible for these.  The McKinley Fire Department has 5,000 smoke alarms to give away.  To inquire about obtaining a free alarm, or to find out whether you qualify, call 692-569-0372.

Which of the following is true about the new rule?

What does the number 5,000 refer to?

Select the correct response.

The short film “How Plants Communicate” is precisely the reason I rarely look at short films about plants. When I choose videos to review on my blog, I try to be fair. Honestly, try as I might, I can’t really find anything redeeming about this short film. On one hand, the indoor lighting is so dim I couldn’t tell one plant from another. On the other hand, the sunlight was so bright outdoors that everything was a blur. The cheery yet annoying accompanying music added zilch to the feel of the film. The producer of the film wanted to create an emotionally-charged film about the life of plants, but it’s really just a complete yawn. I give it five rotten tomatoes out of four.

What did the reviewer find redeeming about the film?

Attention: The audio will only be played once. It’s advisable for you to take notes.

What people say about Friday?

What day some people sleep late?

Why do children look forward to Saturday?
