Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
It was raining heavily and Weixin could not go to the playground. He was
feeling very bored. His mother suggested that they use the old newspapers in the
storeroom to make a palm tree.
Weixin was very excited and quickly got ready a stapler, a pair of scissors
and a roll of sticky tape. His mother took out the old newspapers and some tins
of paint.
Weixin’s mother rolled the newspaper into tubes and Weixin helped her to
staple them into rings. They made seven rings of varying sizes. Using the largest
one as the base, they pushed one ring into another to make a trunk.
Having done that, they cut the ends of the rolls of newspapers to make
leaves. When they had made sufficient leaves, they pushed the leaves into the
top of the trunk, securing each with some sticky tape. Finally, Weixin painted his
paper palm tree. He painted the trunk brown and the leaves green.
