Basketball is a popular sport. The game got its start over a hundred years ago. In 1891, Dr. James Naismith was a teacher. He wanted a new game for his students to play. He came up with an idea. The new game would let his students play inside during the cold winter. Players would throw a soccer ball into two peach baskets. That is how the game came to be known as basketball. Dr. Naismith's first game had thirteen rules. Some of the rules have changed, but others remain the same. For example, a player could not run with the ball in 1891. Today, players still cannot run while holding the ball. They can run while dribbling the ball.

Bats pollinate countless tropical plants, and they are essential for regrowing cleared or damaged rainforests because they scatter the seeds of "pioneer plants" that begin the restoration process. And a new study shows that insect-eating bats save farmers in the United States more that $3.5 billion a year in reduced pesticide use because they eat moths and other insects that destroy crops. But maybe the most important reason to protect bats is that we need to conserve wildlife species so future generations can appreciate the wonders of nature just as we can.

CITE TEXTUAL EVIDENCE to support the statement that bats are helpful to farmers.

• "Bats scatter the seeds of 'pioneer plants.'"

• "Bats save farmers in the United States more than $3.5 billion a year in reduced pesticide use because they eat moths and other insects that destroy crops."

• "Bats pollinate countless tropical plants."

• "Bats are essential for regrowing cleared or damaged rainforests."

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals. Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside. Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.

Based on the passage, what is probably true about the south of France?

• It is home to rare animals.

• It has a large number of caves.

• It is known for horse-racing events.

• It has attracted many famous artists.

Totem poles are important to the Native Americans of the Northwest Coast. Most totem poles are made from red cedar and are carved with symbols. Animal and human figures are carved into the poles to represent a family, clan, or tribe's ancestry. For example, if a person's image is carved upside -down, it means he or she has done something foolish. This type of pole is called a "ridicule pole". Other poles are named based on the symbols they possess.

• Totem poles are carved from many different kinds of wood.

• Native Americans use totem poles to tell funny stories.
