Directions: Read the passage. Then choose the best answer(s) to the questions that follow. Termite Mounds by Madeline Clark 1) Termites are insects that live together in nests. Some termites are called mound builders. They build their nests from mounds of clay. Some of these mounds are more like towers. They stand almost 35 feet tall! 2) Mound builders are found in Africa and Australia. They are also in parts of South America. Other animals in these areas use termite mounds, too. Some wait until the termites move away. Others ignore the termites and use the mound anyway. 3) Termite mounds are usually the highest place around. Cheetahs often use the mound as a lookout point. They climb to the top of the mound. There, they keep an eye out for their next meal. 4) Sometimes the termites move on to a new nest. That’s good news for many of the other animals. These animals know how to put an empty termite mound to good use. 5) Some animals make the empty nest their new home. Mongooses are small animals in Africa. They make a hole in the mound to get inside. The termite mound keeps them safe from other animals. Snakes also use an empty termite mound as a home. 6) Termite mounds also come in handy for large animals. Elephants and rhinos use them as scratching posts. Bug bites and dry mud can make any creature itchy. These large animals stand near a mound and rub against them. Sometimes they even stand over a mound to scratch their bellies!
