Gasping for Air: A study says that kids living in areas with air pollution1 are more likely to develop asthma than kids who live in other areas. Asthma is an illness that makes breathing difficult. Over 5 million children in the United States suffer from asthma. More than 3,500 kids, ages 9 to 16, who lived in California took part in the study. About half of those kids lived in areas that had lots of air pollution. The other half lived in areas that had clean air. All the children played outdoor sports. After studying the kids for five years, doctors found that about 260 of them developed asthma. Most of the kids who developed asthma lived in towns that had lots of air pollution. Doctors say that breathing too much polluted air caused the asthma cases. A California health official said the study shows the need to do more to prevent air pollution. Doctors say that children should still play outside but only on days when air pollution isn't bad. The main idea of this passage is...

a study shows asthma can be caused by air pollution.

people need to help stop air pollution.

air pollution happens in both towns and cities.

children with asthma should not play outside.

Now That's a Big Bird: A teenager recently discovered the skull of a huge prehistoric1 bird in Argentina, a country in South America.

The big bird belonged to a group of birds called "terror birds" that once lived on Earth. "It is an unbelievable creature. This is the largest known bird, with a skull bigger than a horse’s head," says Luis Chiappe, director of the Dinosaur Institute, a part of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, California. Which of the following is not a detail from this passage?

These birds could fly for long distances.

Cheetahs are the fastest big cat in the world. They can run up 70 miles per hour- speeds that are equivalent to the speed limit on a highway. One of the main reasons a cheetah can run so fast is because of its build. The cheetah is very slender, light, has long legs, and a long tail. This allows aerodynamics to works in its favor. Speed is also what keeps the cheetah out of danger when being attacked as prey. What is the best summary of the selection?

Cheetahs are the fastest animal in the world. They can travel up to highways speeds. Their slender build allows them to run quickly and escape predators that may be after them.

Cheetahs escape their predators by running quickly. Their legs and tails help them run faster. They are the coolest cats on the planet.

Cheetahs can travel as fast as cars on the highway. That speed is up to 70 miles per hour!

Squids are one of the oceans coolest creatures. They protect themselves in a very unique way. Rather than using venom, teeth, or strength, squids use black ink. When this creature feels as if it is being threatened by predator, it simply releases this ink. The ink makes the water around it cloudy and dark. The murky water allows the squid to escape its predator by using their arms and siphon to propel itself. What is the best summary of the selection?

Squids are unique by the way they protect themselves from predators. They use black ink that makes the water cloudy and hard to see. While the water is cloudy, the squid swims away.
