Read the passage about the Moon Festival. Choose the best options (A, B, C, or D).
Hello, my name is Susan, I would like to share with everyone my thoughts about my 
birthday. I don't usually celebrate my birthday. I sometimes hang out with my friends for a 
small lunch and they often give me some small presents. My parents are always busy, and 
they are not usually at home on this day. But this year, my birthday is different. I'm on 
vacation in Vietnam at the moment, and my birthday falls on the same day as the Moon 
Festival. It's amazing.
People celebrate the Moon Festival every September or October. The festival is on a 
different day every year, but there is always a full moon. It is more than 3,000 years old. It's 
fun with different activities, and really colorful - I love it. Everyone doesn't wear traditional 
clothes, but they eat traditional mooncakes. These small round cakes are tasty, but I don't 
really like them because they are quite sweet. There are some events that take place on the 
streets where you can see kids or even adults walking around with colorful lanterns in their 
hands. You can also see some dancers in colorful costumes perform traditional dances. This 
is one of the best birthdays I've ever had!
Question 31. Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Susan celebrates her birthday with her mom and dad.
B. She is on vacation in Vietnam, and it is the time of the Moon Festival.
C. People celebrate the festival every September.
D. In the festival, everyone eats mooncakes and watches dancers in colorful costumes.

In the past, knitting was only popular with the old and many people considered it a boring 
activity. Nowadays, the craft of knitting has become a trendy hobby among teenagers and 
young adults while knitted items have become fashionable products. Besides, knitting also 
brings a lot of benefits to our health, both physically and mentally. 
Many studies have found that knitting can help reduce stress and loneliness, lower the risks 
of blood pressure and dementia, a sickness when people gradually lose the ability to 
remember, think and behave normally. When doing something with our hands, we can focus 
on the present and forget about daily worries. It also helps people stay calm and relaxed, 
which brings less depression and greater happiness. It's no surprise that during the COVID-
19 pandemic, when everyone had to stay at home for months, lots of young people started 
trying knitting and then decided to take it up as a new hobby. Some people said that they 
preferred knitting because they could donate their products to charity organizations and 
hospitals. They enjoyed the act of making things and giving to others. It made them feel 
happy and proud of themselves. 
 Knitting was popular among teenagers and young adults in the past.
