Cam doesn’t know about the strange plant. Why not? Cam and the Kudzu Last year, Cam and her family came to the United States. They moved into a house in Mississippi, outside the town of Wiggins. The house was colorful, just the way Cam had imagined it would be. It had white walls and a blue door, and a beautiful yellow bedroom upstairs just for Cam. The first day in the house, Cam saw an unusual plant below her window. The plant was about five feet tall, and Cam thought the strange green leaves were beautiful. After dinner, Cam looked at the plant again. It looked like a snake climbing up the side of house. “Wow!” she thought. “The plant looks bigger than it did just a few hours ago!” That night, Cam dreamed that the plant grew above the clouds. The next morning she looked out and saw that the strange plant was almost as tall as her bedroom window. Cam ran to her father and said, “What is that amazing plant?” “I’ve never seen it before,” Father said. “We’ll have to ask Mr. Trent next door. He knows about local plants.” The next day Mr. Trent told them, “That is called kudzu. It is not dangerous to people, but it is very tough! If you cut down the kudzu, it will grow again. To get rid of it, you have to pull up both the plant and its roots.” Cam said, “If the kudzu is not dangerous, then it is like a very odd pet. Maybe I should just leave it alone and see how tall it grows!”

She doesn’t care about plants.

She didn’t go to school for a few days.

What will Cam probably do next? Cam and the Kudzu Last year, Cam and her family came to the United States. They moved into a house in Mississippi, outside the town of Wiggins. The house was colorful, just the way Cam had imagined it would be. It had white walls and a blue door, and a beautiful yellow bedroom upstairs just for Cam.

She will buy more kudzu plants.

She will pull up the kudzu’s roots.

She will give Mr. Trent some kudzu plants.

What is the main idea of the selection? Birds That Fly Far If you look every day, you will see many different kinds of birds. If you observe birds for a year, you may notice something else. When the season changes, some of the birds disappear. When the season changes again, they reappear. They do this every year. Where do the birds go? Many fly far, far away to another part of the world. Some fly thousands of miles. Arctic terns make the longest trip. They live in the far north, but when winter comes, they fly south. They fly from the top of the world to the bottom. They fly almost to the South Pole, a journey of about 10,000 miles! When winter comes to the South Pole, Arctic terns fly north again. Geese also fly south for the winter. You may hear noisy geese flying over you in fall and spring. They fly in large groups and honk loudly as they go. Many smaller birds fly in large groups, too. Even tiny hummingbirds can fly a long way. They fly south to Mexico, as far as 500 miles without a stop. No one knows how their tiny wings can do it.
