Tests for elementary students

I'd be more than grateful if you could share with me. I'm searching for tests for elementary schools students, beginners. I'd like to test them on vocabulary and grammar. I'm not too eager to write tests on my own since I don't have much experience in teaching... Please share with me.

I work in an elementary school in Poland.

part 3. reading comprehansin
It was a very happy family . The life was fairly well-off . Father , Leopold , was a music master in Austria , Mother was warm-hearted . There were two children , Marianne , a schoolgirl , and little Wolfgang , a child not quite four years old . Marianne was learning to play the piano , and day after day Leopold stood behind her as she practised . How patient her father was , and how cleverly he showed Marianne how to play some particularly difficult pieces ! She was making progress, very good progress , and that was excellent . And there , almost lost in the big chair , sat Wolfgang , who never had to be told to keep quiet when Marianne was practising . One evening at sunset Leopold patted Marianne’s shoulder ,saying she had done well. At that moment Wolfgang climbed on his father’s knee and begged to be allowed to play the pretty piece Marianne had now mastered . What a joke that was ! Picking up his baby son , Leopold laughed and said , “look at your small hands . You must wait , little man !”
There was no end of fun during tea ,and Marianne had to tell her mother about Wolfgang wanting to play a difficult piece . When the meal was finished , Marianne helped to clear away the dishes , Suddenly Leopold got up . “Listen !”said he in a surprised voice . “Listen !” “Marianne is playing the piece better than ever !”
But Marianne was washing dishes in the kitchen .
His wife following , Leopold walked quietly upstairs , the lamp in one hand , his music book in the other . He pushed open the door , and there was little Wolfgang playing in the darkness . “I love it .”whispered the child .

Time and time again , one may be warned , “Your name will be mud .”Many have used the expression in the mistaken belief that it has something to do with the kind of dirt found in the streets or on unclean river bottoms . But the expression comes form the name of Doctor Samuel Alexander Mudd , a physician who fixed the broken leg of John Wilkes Booth , the man who killed President Abraham Lincoln . Doctor Mudd treated Booth’s injured leg without knowing who he was .
A small group helped Booth to plan Lincoln’s murder . They were all caught and sentenced to death or prison terms .
Doctor Mudd had nothing to do with Lincoln’s murder or with any of the men who had planned it .All seemed to show that he was an innocent man . But he had given some kind of help only to leave Booth to escape . This in itself was a crime then . And so , Doctor Mudd was sentenced to prison for life .
In prison , Doctor saved many prisoners and guards in a yellow fever outbreak .President Andrew Johnson pardoned him in 1869, after the doctor had spent almost four years in prison .
The American people considered the murder of Lincoln a heavy blow to them . It filled them with bitterness that lasted many years . They hated Booth very , very much and they also hated anybody who had helped the murderer in any way . Doctor Mudd was freed , but people never forgave him and his name passed into American folk speech as something bad , hateful . The Mudd family had also suffered a lot because of the name until not long ago .

Reflecting is a special kind of thinking . In the first place , it’s both active and controlled . When ideas pass aimlessly through your head , that is not reflection . When someone tells you a story and it suddenly brings to mind something that happened to you , that is not reflection either . Reflecting means focusingyour attention . It means weighing considering , choosing . Suppose you’re going home , and when you get there you turn the knob , the door opens and you step in . Getting into your home does not require reflection . But now suppose that when you turn the knob , the door does not open . To get into the house , some reflecting is in order . You have to think about what you are going to do . You have to imagine possibilities and consider choices .
The Second way that reflecting is different form some other kinds of thinking is that it’s persistent . It requires continuous effort . Suppose you’re still trying to get through your front door . You check your pocket for the key . You walk around the house looking for an open window . You go to a phone to call a family member who has a key .Such behavior is proof of persistent reflective thinking . And if someone asks you what you are doing , you may say that you are trying to figure out how to get into your house . But suppose , instead , you go to a nearby record store and look through the new records . If someone asks you what you are doing and you say that you are trying to figure out how to get into your house , that will not make sense .You are only reflection as long as you stick to the problem or task .
The third way that reflection is different from some other kinds of thinking is that it’s careful . It aims at making sense . This doesn’t mean that reflecting cannot be imaginative . A great deal of reflection could go into writing a science-fiction story about people who can move throught solid objects . The ability to walk through walls could make sense in a science-fiction story . But it wouldn’t make much sense in trying to get through your locked front door . Such imagining would be a kind of thinking , but it would not be reflection .
68．According to the passage , reflecting is .
A．not a kind of thinking but an action
B．giving all your attention to figuring out something
C．bringing to mind something that happened to you
D．letting ideas pass quickly through your head
69．If you don’t take your key with you from work , which of the following does not show
reflecting ?
A．You go through the open window
B．You telephone your family member
C．You go to the nearby record store .
D．You ask the policeman for help
70．The underlined word “persistent ”probably means .
A．existing B．continuing C．trying D．imagining
71．Which of the following is the difference between thinking and reflecting ?
A．Reflecting takes more time than thinking .
B．Reflecting is more important than thinking
C．Reflecting is a kind of more imaginative thinking
D．Reflecting is a kind of deeper thinking
Brazil has become one of the developing world’s great success at reducing population growth-but more by accident than design . While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates , Brazil has had better result without really trying , says George Martine at Harvard .
Brazil’s population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7children on average . Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990 , and achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries . Martine puts it down to , among other things , soap operas and installment plans introduced in the 1970s. Both played an important , although indirect , role in lowering the birth rate . Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas . Globe , Brazil’s most popular television network , shows three hours of soaps six nights a week , while three others show at least one hour a night . Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities .
“Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction ,they describe middle and upper class values-not many children , different attitudes towards sex . women working ,”says Martine . “They sent this idea to all parts of Brazil and make people know other patterns of behaviour and other values , which were put into a very attractive package .”
Meanwhile , the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers（.“This led to an enormous change in consumption ,patterns and consumption was incompatible with unlimited reproduction ,”says Martin .
72．According to the passage , Brazil has reduced its population growth .
A．by educating its citizens B．by careful family planning
C．by developing TV programes D．by chance
73．According to the passage , many Third World countries .
A．haven’s given much importance to birth control

B．would soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rate
C．haven’t yet found an effective method to control their population
D．paid little attention to the role of TV plays in family planning
74．Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate because .
A．they keep people sitting long hours watching TV
B．they have gradually changed people’s way of life .
C．People are drawn to their attractive package
D．They popularize birth control methods
75．What is Martine’s conclusion about Brazil’s population growth ?
A．The increase in birth rate will encourage consumption
B．The need for consumption helps to reduce birth rate .
C．Consumption patterns and reproduction patterns are contradictory
D．A country’s production is limited by its population growth .

Yes, there should really be some kind of site that people can just upload tests to..... a great amount of time is spent building tests on material that is quite constant.... there should be a "test library" of sorts.
