Read the three leaflets about three amusement parks in the United States. For questions 1 to 10, complete the numbered spaces in the table below with ONE word or number from the leaflets.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Park 
Orlando, Florida
This Disney Park takes the animal theme and runs with it - we have 1,700 animals of 250 species. It's like a zoo, a safari, an amusement park and, well, Disney World, all in one. 
For little kids: Head with little kids to the Affection Station petting zoo and see what animal encounters are happening at the Conservation Station. 
For big kids: Thrill seekers will revel in the Kali River Rapids, Dinosaur, and Expedition Everest rides.
Legoland California Resort
Carlsbad, California 
The obsession with Legos lives large at this building-block-inspired resort. It's part amusement park, part science center, part look-what-we-built-with-Legos exhibit. 
For little kids: Head to Fun Town with your preschoolers, where they can play with Duplos, drive mini cars, and see how Legos are made. 
For big kids: The Land of Adventure has several exciting rides. Big kids will probably also want to spend a day at the water park. 
Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom Park 
Orlando, Florida 
Magic Kingdom is massive and a day there can be exhausting, but there's really something for everyone - and the characters and stories that inspired the attractions have a soft spot in our hearts, which is why families from all over the world flock there every year. 
For little kids: Take a boat ride and sing the infectious song at "it's a small world" tour Mickey and Minnie's homes. 
For big kids: Don't miss favorite coasters Space Mountain and Splash Mountain.

Read the passage. Circle A, B or C to answer each question.
     More than 80% of American high school students work at part-time jobs in the evenings, on weekends or in summer. These part-time jobs bring teenagers great advantages.
     One of the benefits of the work is the students can learn the skills that will be useful for the rest of their lives. When they work, they have to manage both the job and schoolwork. To be able to do so, they must be very organized and able to keep a sensible schedule. They also learn to cope with the job stress apart from the stress of the schoolwork. Some of the most stressful jobs include teaching, nursing, and police work. These skills help prepare teenagers for their later careers. High school students who work are more likely to succeed as adults than people who enter the job market at a later age with no work experience.
     Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, mp3 players, trips with their friends, etc. Not all parents can afford them. And even if they can, the teens might not really appreciate that money because they did not earn it. When teenagers make money for themselves, they know its true and are less likely to spend it foolishly.
