Read the paragraph below:

Wattana, a Bornean orangutan, was born in a Belgian zoo in 1995. Her mother refused to care for her, so she was transferred to a German zoo specializing in baby great apes. As an infant, Wattana was fascinated when the zookeepers tied their shoes and taught herself how to tie knots. When Belgian author Chris Herzfeld met Wattana in a Paris zoo, she was thoroughly impressed with the orangutan's knot-tying abilities. Herzfeld wanted to share Wattana's story and the stories of other great apes living in zoos. Thus, Herzfeld wrote Wattana, a book that provides an intimate look at great apes living in captivity.

Cause: Herzfeld wanted to draw attention to primates in captivity

What is the effect?

• Wattana was sent to a German zoo.

• Herzfeld wrote Wattana

• Wattana was rejected by her mother.

During the winter, road crews often put salt on the roads after a snow storm. They want to keep the roads safe by getting rid of the ice quickly. so they put the salt on the roads to hasten the melting of the ice. The salt works by lowering the temperature at which water will freeze. Pure water turns to ice at 32 degrees. Salty water doesn't freeze until it reaches a lower temperature. So even if it's 20 degrees outside, the salty water won't turn to ice.

• slow down
