1. Read the passage and answer the following:
Katniss Everdeen, a skilled hunter from the poverty-stricken District 12, lived a harsh life in the
oppressive nation of Panem. Every year, as a cruel reminder of the past rebellion, the Capitol forces each
district to offer up a boy and a girl, called tributes, to compete in the deadly Hunger Games.
When her younger sister, Prim, is chosen as the district's tribute, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She
enters the dangerous arena with Peeta Mellark, a baker's son with whom she shares a complicated
history.
The arena is a treacherous place, filled with deadly traps and unpredictable weather. Katniss must rely on
her survival skills, her knowledge of the woods, and her unwavering determination to stay alive. She
faces not only the natural dangers of the arena but also the other ruthless tributes who will stop at
nothing to win.
As the Games progress, Katniss forms an uneasy alliance with Peeta. Their strategic partnership and their
growing feelings for each other become a beacon of hope in the midst of the brutal competition. Together,
they navigate the treacherous terrain, outsmart their opponents, and defy the Capitol's cruel games.
Katniss's journey through the Hunger Games is a test of her physical and mental strength, but it also
becomes a symbol of rebellion against the oppressive regime. She fights not only for her own survival but
also for the freedom of her district and the oppressed people of Panem.

8. Read the passage and write its summary:
[3]
Rainforests are often called the "lungs of the Earth" because they produce a significant amount of the
world's oxygen. These dense forests are home to countless species of plants, animals, and
microorganisms, many of which cannot be found anywhere else on the planet. Rainforests also play a key
role in regulating global temperatures by absorbing carbon dioxide. Unfortunately, deforestation for
agriculture, logging, and urban development is destroying these vital ecosystems at an alarming rate.
Protecting rainforests is crucial not only for biodiversity but also for combating climate change and
ensuring the health of our planet.
