Reading Inventory Practice - 600s

My art teacher showed me some woodcut prints, and I liked them. Instead of wood, I worked with linoleum. It's softer and easier to work with. First, I drew the image on linoleum. Then I carved out the parts I wanted to be white. I spread red ink all over the panel. I put paper on top of the linoleum and applied pressure. When I lifted it up, it had the red ink on it. The parts I cut out remained white. I cleaned the plate and cut out more, leaving the areas I wanted to be blue, then printed in blue. Finally, I cut out more parts, and printed the black.

The print was made with _____ .

• brushstrokes

• plaster

• layers

• chalk

When veterinarians examined the owl, they learned it had cataracts. This means it had cloudy lenses. A lens is the part of the eye that focuses light. Cloudy lenses can make it difficult or impossible to see. To help the bird see again, veterinarians performed an operation. They placed new lenses in the owl's eyes. It was the first time that this type of surgery was performed on an owl. What was the result? According to Sue Theys, who rescued the owl, the operation was a success. "She can see, and she wants to take off and fly," she said.

The owl's _____ improved.

• appearance

• strength
