Question 28

Butterflies and dragonflies are well-known, flying insects. Neither of these winged creatures is harmful to humans. They are both found all across the United States. Butterflies and dragonflies both lay eggs. Dragonflies attach their eggs to plants that are underwater. Nymphs hatch from the dragonfly eggs and live in the water. They eat other insects and insect larvae. When nymphs reach maturity they climb out of the water. The air hardens their skin, and the skin cracks open. The adult dragonfly crawls out of the skin. The adult dragonfly uses its hinged jaws to eat other flying insects, mostly mosquitoes and small flies. Dragonflies live near water because there are a lot of insects available. Butterflies lay their eggs on plants above the water. Caterpillars hatch from the butterfly eggs and eat milkweed for about two weeks. Then they build a cocoon out of silk thread that hardens and protects them. Inside of the chrysalis, caterpillars transform into butterflies. When the time is right, the butterflies break out of the chrysalis. The adult butterflies feed on the nectar of flowers and fruit juices with a long, straw-like structure called a "proboscis." Butterflies live near flowers so they can eat often.

Margo and Meredith lived in a large neighborhood on the outskirts of town. They were both twelve and loved to hang out with each other. The girls were curious about the types of pets that their neighbors owned. Margo's parents said that she could get a cat or a dog, but not both. She wasn't sure which type of animal would be the best pet for her. Margo thought it would be helpful to know which pet was more popular in her neighborhood. She might even want to start a club once she decided on which pet to get. Meredith owned a parakeet and a lizard. She wondered if anyone else in the neighborhood had pets other than dogs or cats. The two girls asked their parents if they could hand out surveys to their neighbors to see what kind of pets were living in their community. The girls' parents gave them permission to do the survey. Meredith and Margo walked all over the neighborhood. They handed out the surveys and waited while people answered the questions and handed them back to the girls. The two friends calculated the survey results and were not surprised to find that dogs were the most popular pets. Cats came in at a close second. Small rodents like mice, hamsters, and gerbils were the third most popular. Margo and Meredith included fish and reptiles in the fourth category. Not very many people owned fish, snakes, lizards, or other reptiles. To Meredith's surprise, she was the only person in the neighborhood that owned a bird. Margo and Meredith created a graph to show their findings. The girls did not include "birds" on the graph they made.

Question 35

Humans have been using simple machines to help them perform tasks for hundreds of years. One simple machine that has been used throughout history is the lever. A lever consists of a stiff rod or board and a pivotpoint. A lever is used to lift a heavy load. The stiff bar is placed over something solid like a block, a log, or a rock. The point where the bar touches the solid object is called the fulcrum or the pivot point. The heavy load that needs to be lifted can be placed on the lever, or the lever can be used to pry the object off the ground. The person using the lever applies force to one end of the lever and the opposition from the fulcrum makes it easier to lift the load.

Hank the Fraidy-Dog

Hank was afraid of everything. The slightest unfamiliar noise made him run for cover. He was a very unhappy dog because of his fear. One evening, the wind blew the tree branches against the house. Hank did not know what was making that scraping sound. He hid under the porch, but the noise was too loud and too close. Hank ran away from the terrible sound. He took off into the woods and didn't stop until he could no longer hear the noise. Suddenly, an owl hooted at him and asked, "Why were you running?" Hank was afraid of the owl and started running again. The owl followed him, which only made Hank run faster. Finally, Hank was too tired to run anymore. He hid under a log and hoped that the owl would go away. The owl landed on the log and quietly said, "I won't hurt you, dog. I want to be your friend. Please tell me why you're so afraid." Hank stopped shaking and looked at the owl. He could see that the owl didn't look mean. He answered in a quivering voice, "I—I don't know why I'm afraid. I just feel like there are a lot of dangers all around me." "Well," said the owl, "don't you think it would be better to know if you are really in danger before you run away? You might miss out on a good opportunity—like making a new friend." Hank thought for a minute about what the owl said. Then, he replied, "Yes, but how do I check if there really is danger without getting hurt?" "You live on the Erickson's Farm—right?" The owl asked. "Yes, since I was born, that has been my only home," Hank answered. "Has anything ever attacked you?" the owl inquired. "No, nothing has ever attacked me," Hank said. "So, your home is a pretty safe place—right?" the owl asked. Hank thought for another minute. He tried to remember a time when he was really in danger. The timid dog realized that each time he had ran away, it had turned out to be a noise like a tractor starting, Billy throwing a ball against the barn, or farm animals like cows and pigs hollering about food. Hank chuckled and said, "I guess there really isn't any reason to be afraid. I've been a very silly dog. Thanks, Mr. Owl, for helping me to realize that I don't have to run away all of the time." "Well, you know what they say about owls; don't you?" Mr. Owl asked. "They're nice?" Hank questioned. "No, everyone says that we're 'real wise guys,' " Mr. Owl smiled and flew away. Hank went back home wagging his tail because of the new revelation that he was safe.

The Right Way to Walk a Dog

Dogs are pack animals by nature. That means that dogs prefer to live in groups. Dog owners need to realize that a dog wants to feel like a part of a pack. Most dogs do not have the desire to be the alpha or leader of the pack. They want their owners to be the alpha. Part of being the leader of a dog is training him or her to correctly walk while wearing a leash. The pet parent needs to have authority over when and where the pet will walk. First of all, the owner should make his or her pet sit or stand still while he or she puts the leash on the dog. Next, the master must decide when it is time to go. Another important thing to remember is that the pet guardian should always be the first to enter or exit a door. Dogs think that whoever is in front is the leader. Finally, the loyal friend should walk behind or beside the owner, but never in front of the master. When the owner walks his or her furry companion, the furry friend should be matching its pace to the owner's pace—not pulling at the leash. The pet parent can train his or her pet to walk next to him or her by giving the leash a short, quick, gentle tug when the dog needs correction. While a pet parent is still training his or her pet to walk correctly, he or she can keep the leash short so that it is easy to tug on it.

How does the picture support the passage?

A. It shows that men are better at walking dogs than women are.B. It shows the right way to hold a leash when training a dog to walk.C. It shows an example of what a dog should not be allowed to do on a walk.D. It shows the type of dog that can be trained to walk the right way.

Question 41

Flyball

Flyball is a team sport for dogs. Any type of dog can compete in flyball. Flyball teams are made up of four dogs. One at a time, the dogs must jump four hurdles that are each spaced 10 feet apart. At the end of the course, each dog must release a tennis ball by pushing a flybox with its front paws. The dog must catch the tennis ball and return to the start by jumping the hurdles on the way back. As soon as the dog crosses the line with the ball, the next dog runs the course. The first team that has all four team members finish without mistakes wins the heat. In most flyball competitions there are five heats.

Question 45

Whippets, a type of greyhound, are known for their speed. They weigh around 30 pounds and are about 20 inches tall. These sleek dogs have a strong drive to chase after smaller animals. Whippets are commonly raced for sport because of their speed and instinct to chase small prey. They can run at a speed of 36.5 miles per hour for 150 yards. These dogs have short, fine hair that comes in a wide range of colors and patterns. This breed makes good companions because these dogs are calm indoors, affectionate, and friendly. However, they do not make good guard dogs, because they do not often bark at strangers. Also, Whippets cannot be left outside in cold weather because their coats are too thin, and their percentage of body fat is too low to insulate them.

Question 46

Harold and Marty were next door neighbors. They were always trying to outdo each other. If Harold got a new boat, Marty would have to get a better one. If Marty built a deck in his backyard, Harold would have to build a bigger one. Harold decided to have a Memorial Day cookout. He invited Marty and his wife to the get-together. Marty decided that he would oversee the grilling. He stood over Harold and instructed him on how to position the burgers, when to flip the burgers, the right kind of seasoning, and the right amount of charcoal. Harold did not appreciate Marty's bossiness. He tried to get Marty to go talk to some of the other neighbors, but Marty wouldn't leave his side at the grill. After the hamburgers had been cooking for a little while, Marty decided that they were done. He tried to take the spatula out of Harold's hand to get the burgers off the grill. Harold disagreed with Marty. He thought that the burgers should be cooked longer. The two men started arguing and ended up in a tug-o-war over the grill. The other neighbors watched the grown men behave like children. They couldn't help but laugh at the way the men were tugging the grill back and forth. Finally, Harold's wife and Marty's wife went over and told the men to stop. They felt a little embarrassed for the way they had acted, but they still disagreed about the burgers. By this time, the burgers were burnt to blackened disks. Marty went to his house and came back with a tray of perfectly grilled bratwursts. "I thought we might need these," Marty said smugly. "I can't wait until the next time you have an event at your house," Harold replied.

Many people love to eat "chocolate." However, many of them would be surprised to find out that a lot of the "chocolate" candy that they eat really doesn't count as chocolate. The Food and Drug Administration classifies chocolate as containing at least 10% cacao. Most milk chocolate doesn't contain much cacao at all. Some sources state that a Hershey's milk chocolate bar only contains 11% cacao. White chocolate does not contain any cacao solids. Although some of it has cacao butter in it, it does not meet the 10% cacao requirement. Dark chocolate candy such as the Lindt Excellence bar contains a hearty 85% cacao. If someone wants to eat real chocolate, he or she should stick to candy labeled with a cacao content of 10% or greater.

A Mother's Work

Being a mom is hard, Nancy thought to herself. Being a mom is even harder when the nanny calls in sick and your husband is out of town. "I'm so excited we can spend the day together, Mom!" said Elizabeth. "Mary is a great nanny, but you're an even better mom." "Yes, dear," Nancy said, trying to sound happy. She really was not happy, though. She had a busy day, and she really did not have time to entertain Elizabeth. She just hoped Elizabeth would behave and do as she was told. "Mom! Mom!" Elizabeth yelled as Nancy tried to help Elizabeth get ready. "I'm a big girl! I can get ready myself!" "Fine, Elizabeth," said Nancy. "Get yourself ready. You have two minutes." Two minutes went by. Then five. Nancy was getting frustrated. Being a mom is hard, she thought again. Finally, Nancy snapped. "Elizabeth!" she yelled. "I am getting you ready! End of story." Elizabeth was not happy, and she made sure her mom knew.

Question 52

from Mary's Meadow and Other Tales of Fields and Flowersby Juliana Horatia Ewing

Every child knows how to tell the time by a dandelion clock. You blow till the seed is all blown away, and you count each of the puffs—an hour to a puff. Every child knows this, and very few children want to know any more on the subject. It was Peter Paul's peculiarity that he always did want to know more about everything; a habit whose first and foremost inconvenience is that one can so seldom get people to answer one's questions. Peter Paul and his two sisters were playing in the pastures. Rich, green, Dutch pastures, unbroken by hedge or wall, which stretched—like an emerald ocean—to the horizon and met the sky. The cows stood ankle-deep in it and chewed the cud, the clouds sailed slowly over it to the sea, and on a dry hillock sat Mother, in her broad sun-hat, with one eye to the cows and one to the linen she was bleaching, thinking of her farm. Peter Paul and his sisters had found another little hillock where, among some tufts of meadow-flowers which the cows had not yet eaten, were dandelion clocks. They divided them quite fairly, and began to tell each other the time of day. Little Anna blew very hard for her size, and as the wind blew too, her clock was finished in a couple of puffs. "One, two. It's only two o'clock," she said, with a sigh. Her elder sister was more careful, but still the wind was against them. "One, two, three. It's three o'clock by me," she said. Peter Paul turned his back to the wind, and held his clock low. "One, two, three, four, five. It's five o'clock by my dandelion—I wonder why the fairy clocks all go differently." "We blow differently," said his sister. "Then they don't really tell the time," said Peter Paul. "Oh yes, they do—the fairy time." And the little girls got more clocks, and turned their backs to the wind in imitation of Peter Paul, and went on blowing. But the boy went up to his mother.

Question 55

adapted from Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp by Walter Crane

Aladdin was the son of a poor tailor in an Eastern city. He was a spoiled boy and loved play better than work; so that when his father died, the boy was not able to earn his living. His poor mother had to spin cotton all day long to get food. But she dearly loved her son, knowing that he had a good heart, and she believed that as he grew older he would do better and become at last a worthy and prosperous man. One day, when Aladdin was walking outside the town, an old man came up to him, and looking very hard in his face, said he was his father's brother. He had long been away in a distant country, but now he wished to help his nephew to get on. He then put a ring on the boy's finger, telling him that no harm could happen to him so long as he wore it. Now, this strange man was no uncle of Aladdin, nor was he related at all to him; but he was a wicked magician, who wanted to make use of the lad's services, as we shall see presently.

The old man led Aladdin a good way into the country, until they came to a very lonely spot between two lofty black mountains. Here he lighted a fire, and threw into it some gum, all the time repeating many strange words. The ground then opened just before them, and a stone trap-door appeared. After lifting this up, the Magician told Aladdin to go below, down some broken steps, and at the foot of these he would find three halls, in the last of which was a door leading to a garden full of beautiful trees. This he was to cross, and after mounting some more steps, he would come to a terrace, when he would see a niche, in which there was a lighted Lamp. He was then to take the Lamp, put out the light, empty the oil, and bring it away with him.


Aladdin found all the Magician had told him to be true. He passed quickly but cautiously through the three halls, so as not even to touch the walls with his clothes, as the Magician had directed. He took the Lamp from the niche, threw out the oil, and put it in his bosom. As he came back through the garden, his eyes were dazzled with the bright-colored fruits on the trees, shining like glass. Many of these he plucked and put in his pockets, and then returned with the Lamp, and called upon his uncle to help him up the broken steps. "Give me the Lamp," said the old man, angrily. "Not till I get out safe," cried the boy. The Magician, in a passion, then slammed down the trap-door, and Aladdin was shut up fast enough. While crying bitterly, he by chance rubbed the ring, and a figure appeared before him, saying, "I am your slave, the Genius of the Ring; what do you desire?"

The Tiger, the Brahman, and the Jackaladapted from Indian Fairy Tales

Once upon a time, a tiger was caught in a trap. He tried in vain to get out through the bars, and rolled and bit with rage and grief when he failed. By chance a poor Brahman came by. "Let me out of this cage, oh pious one!" cried the tiger. "Nay, my friend," replied the Brahman mildly, "you would probably eat me if I did." "Not at all!" swore the tiger; "on the contrary, I should be forever grateful, and serve you as a slave!" Now when the tiger sobbed and sighed and wept and swore, the pious Brahman's heart softened, and at last he consented to open the door of the cage. Out popped the tiger and, seizing the poor man, cried, "What a fool you are! What is to prevent my eating you now, for after being cooped up so long I am terribly hungry!" In vain the Brahman pleaded for his life; the most he could gain was a promise to abide by the decision of the first thing he chose to question as to the justice of the tiger's action. On this the Brahman turned back sorrowfully, and on the way he met a jackal, who called out, "Why, what's the matter, Mr. Brahman? You look as miserable as a fish out of water!" The Brahman told him all that had occurred. "How very confusing!" said the jackal, when the recital ended. "Would you mind telling me again, for everything has got so mixed up?" The Brahman told it all over again, but the jackal shook his head in a distracted sort of way and still could not understand. "It's very odd," said he, sadly, "but it all seems to go in at one ear and out the other! I will go to the place where it happened, and then perhaps I shall be able to give a


judgment." So they returned to the cage, by which the tiger was waiting for the Brahman, sharpening his teeth and claws. "You've been away a long time!" growled the savage beast, "but now let us begin our dinner." "Give me five minutes, my lord!" he pleaded, "in order that I may explain matters to the jackal here, who is somewhat slow in his wits." The tiger consented, and the Brahman began the whole story over again, not missing a single detail, and spinning as long a yarn as possible. "Oh, my poor brain!" cried the jackal, wringing its paws."Let me see! How did it all begin? You were in the cage, and the tiger came walking by——" "Pooh!" interrupted the tiger, "what a fool you are! I was in the cage." "Of course!" cried the jackal, pretending to tremble with fright. "Yes! I was in the cage—no I wasn't—dear! Dear! Where are my wits? Let me see—the tiger was in the Brahman, and the cage came walking by——no, that's not it, either! Well, don't mind me, but begin your dinner, for I shall never understand!" "Yes, you shall!" returned the tiger, in a rage at the jackal's stupidity. "I'll make you understand! Look here—I am the tiger——" "Yes, my lord!" "And that is the Brahman——" "Yes, my lord!" "And that is the cage——" "Yes, my lord!" "And I was in the cage—do you understand?" "Yes—no—— Please, my lord——" "Well?" cried the tiger impatiently. "Please, my lord!—how did you get in?" "How!—why in the usual way, of course!" "Oh, dear me!—my head is beginning to whirl again! Please don't be angry, my lord, but what is the usual way?" At this the tiger lost patience and, jumping into the cage, cried, "This way! Now do you understand how it was?" "Perfectly!" grinned the jackal, as he nimbly shut the door. "And if you will permit me to say so, I think matters will remain as they were!"
