Questions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.
When I was a child, my best friend Joseph and I would play a game called \Sometimes I would play the spy and Joseph would play the (31)villain, and sometimes we would reverse the roles.

Every time we played, the story had to be different. We played so much that, needless to say, some of the stories got quite (33)bizarre. Eventually, Super Secret Spy was like a science

Part III: Reading Comprehension
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.
When we're young, we can't wait to grow up and get on with life. When we're adults, we long for the
carefree days of our youth when we could play all day without worry. This is one of the greatest ironies of life. Indeed, \other side.\want what they can't have. It's our nature. That's why it's good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childhood. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. We always ask them, \you grow up?\do/have that when you're older.\encourage them, \be yours and you can make your dreams come true.\It's no wonder, then, that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up, get older, and demand everything that we tell them is coming to them.
Children should be free to play the day away. We should encourage them to use their imagination, create entire worlds in a cardboard box, and explore their backyard as if they were exploring an
undiscovered country. You cannot put a price on an
active and fertile imagination, nor can you overestimate the value of an inquisitive mind, a respect for the environment, and an urge to question why everything is as it is. These traits are all developed and nurtured when we're children and, without them, we would not be able to function as adults in the modern world.
Research has shown that children are happiest and healthiest when they have the freedom to act like children. This may seem obvious, but it's often forgotten as parents push their children to study harder, practice longer, and essentially act like adults. It's important to remember that children are constantly learning. Therefore, they are also learning as they're playing. Exploring nature fosters a respect for the environment that may lead children to become biologists or naturalists. Creating with paint and crayons instills a love of art that might help develop young artists or musicians. Playing make-believe stimulates the imagination in a way that writers, filmmakers, and actors find most useful.
