Reading Passage

Read the passage carefully before answering the questions.

Last weekend, Emma and her brother Daniel decided to spend two days in the city. They usually stayed at home on weekends, but they wanted to do something different. They left their town early on Saturday morning and took the train. The journey took about one hour. When they arrived, they walked to the city center and had breakfast in a small cafe. Emma ordered eggs and toast, while Daniel had a sandwich and a cup of coffee. After breakfast, they visited a large museum. Emma enjoyed the history section because she likes learning about the past. Daniel preferred the science section, especially the room about space and planets. They spent almost three hours in the museum. In the afternoon, they walked through a busy shopping street. They bought a few gifts for their family and then went to a park near the river. The weather was warm and sunny, so they sat on a bench and talked for a while. On Sunday, they visited a famous old building and took many photos. Before going home, they had lunch at a restaurant near the train station. Emma and Daniel were tired when they returned home, but they were happy with their weekend. They decided that they would visit the city again in the future.
