READING PLAN 2
MUFASA: Simba, I'm very disappointed in you.
SIMBA: I know.
MUFASA: You could have been killed. You deliberately disobeyed me. And
what's worse, you put Nala in danger!
SIMBA: I was just trying to be brave like you.
MUFASA: I'm only brave when I have to be. Simba... being brave doesn't mean you go looking
fortrouble.
SIMBA: But you're not scared of anything.
MUFASA: I was today.
SIMBA: You were?
MUFASA: Yes... I thought I might lose
you.
SIMBA: Oh. I guess even kings get
scared, huh?
MUFASA: Mm-hmm.
SIMBA: But you know what?
MUFASA: What?
SIMBA: I think those hyenas were even scareder.
MUFASA: Because nobody messes with your dad. Come here, you.
JASMINE: Father, I hate being forced into this.
If I do marry, I want it to be for love.
SULTAN: Jasmine, it's not only this law. I'm not going to be around
forever, and I just want to make sure you're taken care
of, provided for.
JASMINE: Try to understand. I've never done a thing on my own. I've never
had any real friends. Except you, Rajah. I've never even been outside the
palace walls.
DONKEY: Princess? What
happened to you? You're, uh, uh, uh, different.
FIONA: I'm ugly, okay?
DONKEY: Well, yeah! Was it something you ate? 'Cause I told Shrek
those rats was a bad idea. You are what you eat, I said. Now...
FIONA: No. I... I've been this way as long as I can remember.
DONKEY: What do you mean? Look, I ain't never seen you like this
before.
FIONA: It only happens when the sun goes down. "By night one way, by day
another. This shall be the norm until you find true love's first kiss, and then
take love's true form."
DONKEY: Ah, that's beautiful. I didn't know you wrote poetry.
FIONA: It's a spell. When I was a little girl, a witch cast a spell on me.
Every night I become this. This horrible, ugly beast! I was placed in a tower
to await the day my true love would rescue me. That's why I have
to marry Lord Farquaad tomorrow before the sun sets and he
sees me like this.
DONKEY: All right, all right. Calm down. Look, it's not that bad. You're
not that ugly. Well, I ain't gonnalie. You are ugly. But you only look
like this at night. Shrek's ugly 24/7.
WOODY: Hey, get over
here and see if you can get this tool box off me! Oh, come on,
Buzz! Buzz, I can't do this without you. I need your help!
BUZZ: I can't help. I can't help anyone.
WOODY: Why, sure you can, Buzz. You can get me out of here and then I'll get
that rocket off you, and we'll make a break for Andy's house.
BUZZ: Andy's house. Sid's house. What's the difference?
WOODY: Oh, Buzz, you've had a big fall. You must not be thinking clearly.
BUZZ: No, Woody, for the first time I am thinking clearly. You were
right all along. I'm not a Space Ranger. I'm just a toy. A stupid little
insignificant toy.
WOODY: Whoa, hey, wait a minute. Being a toy is a
lot better than being a Space Ranger.
BUZZ: Yeah, right.
WOODY: No, it is! Look, over in that house is a kid who thinks you are the
greatest, and it's not because you're a Space Ranger, pal, it's because
you're a toy! You are his toy!
PUMBAA: Uh-oh. Hey, Timon! You'd better come look! I think it's still alive...
TIMON: Er... All righty, what have we got here? Jeez, it's a lion! Run, PUMBAA! Move it!
PUMBAA: Hey, Timon. It's just a little lion. Look at him.
He's so cute, and all
alone! Can we keep him?
TIMON: Pumbaa, are you nuts? We're talking about a lion. Lions eat guys like us.
PUMBAA: But he's so little.
TIMON: He's gonna get bigger.
PUMBAA: Maybe he'll be on our side.
TIMON: U-huh! That's the stupidest thing I've ever
heard. Maybe he'll b-- ... Hey, I
got it! What if he's on our side? You know, having a lion around
might not be such a bad idea.
PUMBAA: So are we keeping him?
TIMON: Of course. Who's the brains in this outfit?
PUMBAA: Er...
TIMON: My point, exactly. Jeez, I'm fried! Let's get out of here
and find some shade.
ALADDIN: Abu? Abu! Oh, this is all my fault. I should have freed the genie when I had the chance. Abu! Are you okay? I'm sorry, Abu. I made a mess of everything, somehow. I've got to go back and set things right.
DONKEY: Shrek? Well, you
know what I like about you, Shrek? You got that kind
of I-don't-care-what-nobody-thinks-of-me thing. I like that. I
respect that, Shrek. You all right. Whoa! Look at that. Who'd want to live in a
place like that?
SHREK: That would be my home.
DONKEY: Oh! And it is lovely! Just beautiful. You know you are quite a
decorator. It's amazing what you've done with such a modest budget. I like
that boulder. That is a nice boulder. I guess you don't entertain much, do
you?
SHREK: I like my privacy.
DONKEY: You know, I do too. That's another thing we have in common. Like I hate
it when you got somebody in your face. You've trying to give them a hint,
and they won't leave. There's that awkward silence.
WOODY: Buzz!
You're alive! This is great! Oh, I'm saved! I'm saved! Andy will find
you here, he'll take us back to the room, and then you can tell everyone that
this was all just a big mistake, huh? Right, buddy?
BUZZ: I just want you to know that even though you tried to terminate
me, revenge is not an idea we promote on my planet.
WOODY: Oh, oh, that's good!
BUZZ: But we're not on my planet, are we?
WOODY: No.
REX:
What? Whaddaya mean, the party's today? His birthday's
not tillnext week!
HAMM: What's going on down there? Is Mom losing her marbles?
WOODY: Well, obviously she wanted to have the party before the move. I'm
not worried. You shouldn't be worried.
MR. POTATO HEAD: Of course Woody ain't worried! He's been Andy's
favorite since kindergarten!
SLINKY: Hey, hey, come on, Potato Head! If Woody says it's all right, then,
well, darn it, it's good enough for me. Woody has never steered us
wrong before.
WOODY: Come on, guys! Every Christmas and birthday we go
through this.
REX: But what if Andy gets another dinosaur? A mean one? I just don't
think I can take that kind of rejection.
WOODY: Hey, listen, no one's getting replaced. This is Andy we're talking
about. It doesn't matter how much we're played with. What matters is
that we're here for Andy when he needs us. That's what we're made for, right?

4.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.
Brazil - the country of soccer, samba, Carnival, and ... what?
What do people think of when they hear the word "Brazil"? Of course, they know about the 2014 World Cup™, and the 2016 Olympic Games® in Rio de Janeiro. So, for many people, Brazil is the place for soccer and sport. Many other people only think of the Amazon Rainforest1 and Amazon River when they think about this South American country. However, Brazil is much more interesting than this. It is a country that is changing: it is a country with a future. Its economy2 is growing. It has modern industries3 , and natural resources4 like water and oil5 . Tourism is important in every region6 . There are very big cities, like São Paulo, and historic ones, like Recife and Salvador. The country has exciting artists and a rich tradition of music: different styles in different regions, but always Brazilian! To visit all of Brazil would be very difficult. It is a very big country- over 8.5 million square kilometers. It is so big that many Brazilians do not know all of the different parts of their own7 country. Brazil is a country that everyone can learn something new about.
