This is a television show for all the families and I know you're going to enjoy it. Let's start with a story I heard the other day about a very proud pig. This pig lived on a farm with a lot of other animals. And of all the animals on the farm, he thought he was the most important. But it was not enough that he himself thought this way. He had to be sure that the other animals thought so, too. So he went up to one of the chickens and asked, "Who is the most important animal on the farm?" Straight away, the chicken answered, "You're, Master." Then he asked one of the farm dogs and he got the same reply. Next, he asked a cow. When the cow seemed uncertain of the right answer, the pig looked angry and showed his teeth. "Oh, you are, of course, Master Pig," said the cow. "Of course," the pig said. "There is no doubt about it." At last, the pig asked a big horse, "Who is the most important animal on the farm?" The horse lifted one foot, rolled the pig over, and placed his foot on the pig's head. "All right," said the pig, "you don't have to do that just because you don't know the answer." Question: Roy Darby's show is _ . Options: A: a funny story about a pig B: for ladies and gentlemen only C: about life on the farm D: a family show on the television

The information they provide will be important for you to know when you take tests. You must be able to take good written notes from what your teachers say. Taking good notes has three stages. There are certain things you should do before class, during class, and after class. Here are the three stages of note-taking and what you should do during each class. 1. Get Ready to Take Notes Review your notes from the previous class before you come to class. This will help you remember what was covered and get you ready to understand the new information your teacher will provide. Complete all assigned readings before you come to class. Your teacher will expect that you have done this and will use and build upon this information. Bring all note-taking materials with you to class - several pens and pencils as well as your notebook. 2. Take Notes Keep your attention on what your teacher is saying. Paying attention to "signal statements". Examples of signal statements are "The most important point ..." and "Remember that ..," Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or written on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviated words such as med for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent, and writing short sentences. Place a "?" next to information about whose meaning you are not sure. Question: What's the writer's purpose in writing this passage? Options: A: To encourage us to listen carefully in class. B: To tell us the importance of taking notes.
