Read the following text carefully.

It was early in the morning when five staff of the charity International Animal Rescue (IAR) arrived at the forest. The forest was hazy with smoke. They breathed through cloth masks as they searched for a dehydrated-and possibly dying-orangutan and her infant seen the previous night. A farmer reported seeing the mother and daughter orangutans near a palm oil farm which was on fire.

After several hours searching through the haze, they finally found their pair. They used anesthetics and medical check-ups to determine if the two orangutans could survive in a safe zone away from the fires. These orangutans were lucky because IAR got them before the smoke caused to much damage. The team took them to a safe zone on the island.

The text mostly tells us about . . . . .

• the experience of orangutans in a safe zone

• the rescuing of orangutans from bushfire

• the process of delivering a baby orangutan

• a safe zone for orangutans

1) It was nine in the evening. I was on my way to my bedroom after brushing my teeth. As I was passing the living room, I saw my brother, Aldo, lying on the floor watching TV. He always did that every night. He refused to go to bed and chose to sleep in front of the television. I decided not to say anything and directly went to bed.

2) I was half asleep when I heard a scream from the living room. It was about two in the morning. I jumped out of the bed and rushed towards the voice. In the living room, I found Aldo crying. His right hand was on his right ear. He said, "Help, help, help. It hurts!" Then, he told me that an insect had entered his ear. I was quite sorry for the insect. I figured out it was an ant. I imagined how miserable the ant was.

3) Since Aldo couldn't stop crying, I decided to take him to the hospital. Soon after our arrival, a doctor in charge examined Aldo's ear. He, then, used a pair of pincers to take the insect out. It wasn't an ant. It was a young cockroach! Gosh! It was as big as a baby's little finger.

4) From then on, Aldo never slept in front of the television any more.

What happened to Aldo?

• An insect bit him.

• He felt pity for the insect.

• An insect entered his ear.

• He was imagining an insect.
