Magnets
A solid object that has the power to attract iron and some other metals called a magnet. It does this through its magnetic field, a region of force surrounding it. The stronger the magnet is, the more intense the field is.
Objects that are attracted to the magnet, feel a force known as ‘magnetism’, when they are inside the magnetic field. This magnetic force can pass some materials. Even a weak magnet will attract a pin to the other side of a of paper, for example.
Magnets come in different shapes. A familiar one is the curved horseshoe magnet. There are also bar magnets in the form of a disc or a stubby cylinder. Every magnet has poles, called north and south, at opposite ends of it: at the two ends of a horseshoe magnet, for example, or on the two sides of a disc.
Powerful magnets can be made by passing an electric current through wire coiled around a piece of iron. The is called an electromagnet. Magnets are in many household devices. They are also commonly used in individual machinery, usually in the form of electromagnets.

Read the passage then choose the best answer to each question.
School days should be a happy time in a young person’s life. What can make people’s lives a misery during this time, then? I personally believe there is one word which answers this question – bullying.
Unfortunately, bullying is quite common in schools where I live. It can affect students of any age, and both boys and girls. A friend of mine had a very negative experience at school last year as an older boy continually called him names and sometimes used to post nasty messages about him on Facebook. Obviously, my friend felt upset about this and it affected his self-confidence. Some days, he didn’t want to come to school at all.
What can people do to stop this problem? First and foremost, teachers need to be aware that bullying may be happening in their classes and be very strict when they have a case of bullying. Another thing teachers could do is prepare lessons to talk about the problem with their pupils, which might make bullies realize how badly they hurt their victims. As for students, if they find out a classmate is being bullied, they should support them as much as possible and let a teacher know.
Bullying can be a nightmare but there are things we can do to prevent it. Hopefully, one day all students will be able to go to school without fear of being bullied.
