Any person can adopt a zoo animal by paying for all of its food for one year. One of the animals that needed parents was a young tiger named Shorty. The people at the zoo said that it would cost about $ 800 a year for the food for Shorty.Not many boys and girls have $ 800 to spend. That is why several hundred children and grown-ups each have sent a little money to the zoo to help pay for Shortys food. Many children sent in money which they had earned.Since so many people sent money to the zoo to help pay for Shortys food, he now will be able to eat as he wants.

All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, are called words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations -the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words remind us of the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, a real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make ourspeech silly and vulgar.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19.

But when the first kindergarten was started in Germany in 1837, few people noticed.Frederich Froebel, who started the class, was a man with a new idea. He did not agree with those who had started the other “infant schools of the time. In those schools, the young students had to work hard. But Froebel felt that young children could learn many things by playing.Kindergarten is a German word meaning “garden of children. Froebel wanted his kindergarten to be a place where children could enjoy learning. Most people thought that Froebel was wrong. They believed that children should stay home until they were old enough to study.Today, educators think that Froebels ideas were partly right and partly wrong. Very young children cannot work hard at learning, but they should also have a chance to enjoy school. Playing is not enough. Most children can learn more at school than they can at home. In fact, children as young as three can learn school subjects.Already popular with parents, kindergartens are now thought to be a necessary part of any school. Some states in U.S. are even making plans to provide free public kindergartens for all three-and four-year-olds.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22.
