Sesame Street has been called the longest street in the world.

The progarm started in New York in 1969.
In the United States
more than six million children watch the program regularly.
Parents praise it highly.
Many teachers consider it a great help.

In the United States the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.
In its American form
Sesame Street is shown in nearly fifty countries.
Three foreign shows based on Sesame Street have also appeared.
In Spanish, Portuguese,and German.
The program uses songs, stories
jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers
letters and human relations.
Why has Sesame Street been so much more successful than the other childrens shoes.
Many reasons have been suggested
the educational theories of its creators
the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks

the child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.

He was poor,but he had confidence in his future
the future of a great actor.
His name was William Shakespeare.
He had not been in London very long before he noticed that
play-goers all went to the theatre on horseback
Here is an opportunity! he thought
There must be someone to take care of the horses when people are watching a play
So he began to do the job and he did it so well that people all liked him very much.
Soon the actors found the young man a very promising actor
and he was given an opportunity to play a part on the stage.
From that time on, his name became known.
But he was not contented with the life of an actor.
He took great interest in play-writing,

Passage Three
Why dont birds get lost on their long migratory flights
Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years.
Now theyre beginning to fill in the blanks.
Not long ago
experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours.
But what about birds that fly mainly by night.
Tests with artificial stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying.
birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.
One such bird--a warbler--had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky.
Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance.
The birds cage was placed under and artificial star-filled sky at migration time
the bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins
Any change in the position of the make-believe stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.
Scientists think that warblers
when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance.
But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation.
What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds.
Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges,
coast lines, and river courses.
But when its too dark to see these
the warblers circle help-lessly, unable to get their bearings.
17. What do we learn form the experiment with the warbler?
18. How do warblers migrate according to the passage?
19. How do warblers find their way when the stars are hidden by clouds?
20. How do warblers find their way in total darkness
