Đọc kỹ đoạn văn và trả lời các câu hỏi (bằng cách chọn phương án đúng, ứng với A. hoặc B.,C.,D.) từ câu 46 đến câu 50 Read part of a magazine article by Maisie McNeice, who is co-author of a book about her childhood in Africa. When I was seven, my family moved to Botswana, because my mother wanted us to experience a different way of life. We joined a group of scientists at a lion research station, and for five years now we've been living in tents in the middle of nowhere. In my book, there are a lot of funny stories about our lives here. For example, when I go to bed, I have to check for scorpions before I get in — but I don't mind that. The only thing I regret is not to have walls to put posters on. There's a kitchen tent and a living room tent with a video, so I can still watch my favourite programmes in the evenings. There are no fences around our camp, and it is dangerous to walk around after dark, so we drive — even from the living room tent to my bedroom tent! Occasionally I think "What if an animal is lying around the corner and kills me!" I am usually fine. Once I turned a corner in the car (I've driven since I was nine) and there was a huge bull elephant, and I stopped the car. Luckily the elephant swerved and missed us, but not by much! Another time my brother stepped on a scorpion, and he was in pain for days. And we get spiders in our tents, the size of CDs, but I am not afraid of them. And as for lions, I started working with them when I was nine, and they are just the most wonderful animals in the world. 46) Why did Maisie's family move to Botswana? A. To do some research into lions. B. Because they enjoy living in tents. C. Because it's such a beautiful country. D. To have a new kind of lifestyle. 47) The creature that put Maisie in most danger was ………… A. an elephant B. a scorpion C. a spider D. a lion 48) What does Maisie feel about spiders? A. They are not dangerous. B. They don't frighten her. C. Her brother shouldn't worry about them. , D. People should not let them come into their tents. 49) They often drive in stead of walking from one tent to another because A. it’s faster. B. it’s safer. C. it’s more dangerous. D. it’s fun. 50) What would be a good title for Maisie's book? A. Life with the Lions B. African Life C. Travels around Africa D. My unusual family ________________________ . I.
