II. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer for questions below.
(1.0 point). To date, Canada has produced only one classic children’s tale to rank with
Alice’s Adventures in wonderland and the works of Mark Twain; this was Lucy Maud
Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables. Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in Clinton,
Prince Edward Island. Her mother died soon after her birth, and when her father went to
Saskatchewan to assume a business position, she moved in with her grandparents in
Cavendish, Prince Edward Island. There she went to school and later qualified to be a
teacher.
Montgomery wrote the Anne books while living in Cavendish and helping her
grandmother at the post office. The first of the books, Anne of Green Gabbles, was
published in 1908, and in the next three years she wrote two sequels. Like Montgomery,
the heroine of the book is taken in by an elderly couple who lives in the fictional town of
Avonlea, and Montgomery incorporated many events from her life in Cavendish into the
Anne books.
In 1911, Montgomery married Evan Macdonald and the couple soon moved to
Ontario, where she wrote many other books. However, it was her first efforts that secured

Idea mở bài : Nowadays, many young children and teenagers spend a lot of time using
smartphones.
This habit has both good and bad sides.

Firstly, smartphones help teenagers relax by playing games or watching videos.

Secondly, they can learn new things on the Internet, such as English or science.

However, using smartphones too much is not good. It can hurt their eyes and make them
lazy.

Some students forget to study or do homework because they play with phones too much.
In conclusion, smartphones are useful, but young people should use them wisely and not
too much.
