Level 1 Unit 1 Quiz
How much time do you spend in nature? Research has shown that spending time in
nature is good for you. People who spend time near trees and wildlife are happier and
worry less. Unfortunately, many people live in urban areas that don’t have a lot of green
space. But this is beginning to change.
São Paulo, Brazil, is one of many cities that has made green space a priority. The city
has over 11 million residents and many skyscrapers. Parque do Ibirapuera is a peaceful
place for people to relax and connect with nature. In the park, visitors can enjoy bike
paths, gardens, and museums. It’s a beautiful place to escape the concrete buildings
and sidewalks in the city.
Do you have a park in your city? If you feel stressed, it may be the best place for you to
go. Walking among the trees and listening to birds sing may be just what you need to
feel better.

S1: I guess having an airplane as an office is hard to beat! Do you ever feel that your job is
dangerous?
S2: No, I have never felt that I was in danger. I have to fly in challenging weather at
times, but airplanes are built to hold up in all kinds of weather.
S1: What advice would you give someone who wants to fly jumbo jets?
S2: Pilots who fly jumbo jets have to have thousands of flight hours and have to be at
an airline for a long time before they fly the big planes. My advice to young pilots is not
to give up on your goal. It takes a long time to become a pilot. But if you take it one step
at a time, one day you can fly a jumbo jet!
S1: Thank you for your time, Captain Lorenzo!

Level 1 Unit 3 Quiz
You are probably familiar with fireflies that glow in the darkness on warm, summer
nights. But have you ever heard of glowworms? In dark caves on the north island of
New Zealand, glowworms light up with blue-green light.
Glowworms are very small insects. They use their light to attract other insects, their
main food source. While most animals that produce light live in the ocean, glowworms
live on damp roofs of caves. They are active at night and have the surprising ability to
turn off their lights if they feel threatened.
Entering a cave full of glowworms is like walking under a sky full of stars. Glowworms
are just one of many fascinating creatures on our amazing planet.

the time? Many cat lovers don’t believe that their cuddly pets are fierce hunters when
they leave the house. Of course, this behavior isn’t the cat’s fault. Cats are just doing
what comes naturally.
