Read the story and answer the questions.
In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different kinds of music - everything from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it's both, but it's also something else: they're elephants.
These musical elephants started at the Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC) in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge, but gentle, animals. Like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint.
Richard Lair works with the TECC. He knows a lot about elephants. He says some paintings of these animals are very good. In fact, elephants hear better than see. Lair, hence, had an idea: if elephants are intelligent and have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra. During a performance, the elephants play a variety of instruments, including the drums and the xylophone. The animals also use their voices and trunks to make sounds.
Can elephants really make music properly? "Yes", says Lair. They're very creative. Humans encourage the animals to play, but the elephants make their own songs; they do not just copy their trainers or other people. There are now CDs of the group and the music these artists create is pretty amazing, which earns money for the TECC.
Adapted from Toefl Junior Practice Test: Reading Comprehension.
The elephants at the TECC _____.
Read the letter. And answer the questions.
Dear Parents,
The exams of your children are to start soon. I know you are all really anxious for your child to do well.
But, please do remember, amongst the students who will be sitting for the exams there is an artist, who does not need to understand Math. There is an entrepreneur, who does not care about History or English literature. There is a musician, whose Chemistry marks will not matter. There is an athlete, whose physical fitness is more important than Physics. If your child does get top marks, that is great! But if he or she does not, please don’t take away their self-confidence and dignity from them. Tell them it’s OK, it’s just an exam! They are cut out for much bigger things in life. Tell them, no matter what they score, you love them and will not judge them.
One exam or a low mark will not take away their dreams and talent.
With warm regards,
Principal.
What does the principal want to tell parents?

Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or you'll get your money back. From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send …” and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that. One’s mother language is easier to learn, but it also requires a lot of practice to be fluent. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War, people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country.
Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of people start learning one. How do they do it? Some people try it at home, with books and records of tapes; some use radio or television programmes; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language at school. A few people try to learn the language fast by studying 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student’s work for him.
According to some advertisements, you _____.
The best way to learn a foreign language is _____.
According to the passage, who might need to read foreign books and reports?
