Multiple Choice

Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.

How Do You Train an Elephant?

Perhaps you have heard about elephants that can paint pictures or play musical instruments. They seem able to learn how to do everything except speak. Have you ever thought about what methods trainers use to get these huge animals to perform this way? Although elephants are very intelligent, they are still wild animals, after all.

First of all, an elephant knows the difference between a kind person and a mean one. The best trainers are able to imagine themselves in the elephant's place. They realize that the better they understand the animal, the better teachers they will be. They are always gentle with the animals and prefer to encourage them to do things instead of forcing them.

Some trainers use a system that involves giving the animal a treat, such as an apple, whenever it does what it is asked to do. One advantage of this strategy is that it helps the elephant feel comfortable with its trainer. When an elephant does something wrong, a good trainer thinks, "How would elephants treat each other in this situation?" Sometimes the answer is to use force, but to use it properly and as gently as possible.

a.	know how to paint

Rock Climbing

Just 90 miles to the north of New York City, U.S.A., lies the Shawangunk Mountains. The mountains, known as the 'Gunks', are 12 miles long and 300 feet high. The extreme sport of rock climbing is a very popular activity there. Many people from around the region and abroad make trips to the Gunks to climb the mountains. The Gunks have become one of the major rock climbing areas of North America. There are about 1,200 climbing routes, and visitors to the Gunks get to enjoy wonderful views.

However, most rock climbers are not so interested in the views. Like mountain climbers, they go up the sides of mountains. But the rock climbers seem to want the climb to be especially difficult. They choose to climb only the parts that look like walls. They also pick only areas where there is a danger of falling thousands of feet to the ground. In addition to strong legs, rock climbers need a lot of strength in their arms and hands. They must use small openings in the rock to hold themselves flat against the wall. It is definitely not a relaxing sport!

____    5.   Another title for this reading could be ____.

a.	Rock Climbing in the Gunks
b.	How the Gunks Were Formed
c.	Goals of Rock Climbing
d.	Relaxing with Rock Climbers

Bob Marley: Music for the World

Despite the fact that he died almost 30 years ago, Bob Marley is still one of the best-known names in world music. He invented a style of music called reggae, and his recordings are still popular all over the world today. Marley grew up on the island nation of Jamaica. He began to play in clubs there when he was 18. In 1980, near the end of his life, he traveled around Europe with his group, Bob Marley and the Wailers. These performances attracted the largest audiences of any musical act in Europe at that time.

Marley's music was a lively combination of Jamaica's African music and American blues music. His first songs talked about the difficulties faced by people living in the poorest neighborhoods in Jamaica. These songs were especially popular with young people who wanted to help change things for the better. Throughout his life, this issue was always present in his work. In his early 20s, Marley joined a religious organization in Jamaica called the Rastafarians. They believe strongly in human rights for everyone.
