Would you like to rap in class? Well actually, hip hop music is being played in more than 10,000 schools in the USA. Why?

This is one teacher said: "I've used hip hop songs in class, and I've never seen students have such interests in history!  It's unbelievable how students remember what I teach it even encourages us towrite our own songs.
Blake Harrison, a high school student, first thought of the idea of Flocabulary. The word "Flocabulary" comes from the words "flow" and "vocabulary". "Flow" is a rap word for "style" or the way a rapper says the words of a song. How did he get the idea'?

閱讀與回答問題(5小題, 每題2分,共10分)
Do you feel lonely when your best friend isn’t around? Of course, yes. Here’s our advice to you—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems everybody else already has his or her friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣賞) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say, “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help ---and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left. You can introduce him or her to your new friends!
小題1: How do you feel when your best friend isn’t around you according to the passage?
 
小題2: Why do some kids feel lonely at break according to the writer?
小題3: What is the best way to make friends according to the writer?
小題4: Why do some kids need help from teachers to make friends according to the writer?
小題5: What should you do if you want to make more friends? (請自擬一句話作答)
