Reading Test 2 Year 7 will help you develop your reading skills.
Task 1. Read the text. For questions (1—6) choose and circle the correct answer (a, b, c or d).
A mouse was having a very difficult time. He was so afraid of a cat that life had lost all its sparkle and he spent his days in fear and trembling. A magician came upon the terrified mouse. The mouse told him about the constant state of fear and distress. The magician waved his hand and with a magic spell turned the mouse into a cat.
Some time later the cat came back. «Life would not be such a torture if I could live without the constant fear of being caught by a dog», said the cat. The magician said a spell, waved his hand over the cat, and the cat became a dog.
The dog trotted off but after some days he was back and the problem was still the same — fear. The dog was terrified of tigers. Again, with his magic words and a wave of his hand, the magician transformed the dog into a magnificent tiger.
Now, when the tiger returned to ask for help because he was full of fear and terrified of being killed by hunters, the magician gave up. «Nothing will be of any help», he said, «for you have the heart of a mouse». He decided to change the tiger back into a mouse.
