Section A: Reading

1. Read the following comprehension and answer the following questions:

A long, long time ago a little boy was walking through a park. In the
middle of the park there was a tree with a sign on it. The sign said "I
am a magic tree. Say the magic words and you will see."
The boy tried to guess the magic words. He tried abracadabra,
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, tan-ta-ra, and many more... but
none of them worked.
Exhausted, he threw himself on the floor, saying: "Please, dear tree!"
and suddenly, a big door opened in the trunk. Inside everything was
dark, except for a sign which said "Carry on with your magic." Then
the boy said "Thank you, dear tree!" With this, the inside of the tree
lit up brightly and revealed a pathway leading to a great big pile of
toys and chocolate.
The little boy brought all his friends to the magic tree, and they had
the best party ever. This is why people always say that "please" and
"thank you" are the magic words.
