 On March 15, Dunes View Middle School held a contest for school bands. Student bands tried out for the opportunity to perform at the school picnic, which will be held at the end of June. The winner of the contest was the band called Four Square. "We’re very proud that we won the contest and are excited to perform at the picnic," says Peter Zandt, who plays the guitar in the band. "And since we hope to perform someday at other local places, like restaurants and parks, this will be a great first step."
 The contest was the creation of music teacher Mr. Lopez and drama teacher Ms. Cho. The two thought of the idea while discussing recent years’ school picnics. "The picnic is one of the biggest events of the year, but it has become a bit formulaic," said Ms. Cho. "The activities are the same every year. We thought that a performance by a student band would make the school picnic more interesting and fun." Mr. Lopez, Ms. Cho, and three other teachers judged the contest, which took place in the gym. Eight-student bands signed up to audition. The bands varied in their musical forms: there were several rock bands, a folk band, and even a jazz band. "I’m disappointed that my band didn’t win, but I think the judges made the right choice," says student Marisol Varga, a member of the folk trio called The Bell Girls. "Four Square is really good."
 To see if the bands could present a wide range of musical skills, the teachers asked them each to prepare two songs: one song with original words, and another in which students played instrumental music only. The judges finally chose the band Four Square as the winner of the contest. Four Square is a rock band with an unusual twist: it includes a violin player! The members of Four Square write their own songs and practise three times a week after school. Students and teachers agreed that the band competition was a big success. All are looking forward to the school picnic in June.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
 Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants. Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti noodles. Its almost leafless, thread-like stems hang down atop other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals it from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant it is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.
 Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a dodder seedling starts growing, it follows the scent of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. 
 Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato odour--if a tomato happens to be growing nearby. 
 However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. If it cannot catch a whiff of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and disappear-even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point, the dodder plant will drop its root.
 Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their produce, farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have intermingled with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from sneaking their way into a crop field.
Question 44: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The special abilities of a dangerous plant	B. Plants that are harmful to humans
C. Recent improvements in farming methods	D. A new variety of farm crop
Question 45: What will happen if a dodder plant starts growing where there are no other plants around?
A. It will soon die.	B. It will attract other plants.
C. It will grow deeper roots.	D. It will cover the entire area of soil.
Question 46: The word it refers to.......
A. dodder	B. food	C. plant	D. host
Question 47: Why does the author mention spaghetti?
A. To explain where the dodder plant came from	B. To argue that dodder plants can be used to make food
C. To analyze the content of some food	D. To describe the shape of a dodder plant
Question 48: The expression catch a whiff is closest in meaning to......
A. determine the size	B. find the location	C. eat the seeds	D. notice the smell
Question 49: The expression get out of hand is closest in meaning to.......
A. change its colour	B. dry up and die	C. grow uncontrollably 	D. become hard to find
Question 50: What causes dodder to grow in a particular direction?
A. Temperature	B. Odour	C. Water	D. Light
Dodder, a threat to crops!
