"Sister has always been so proud of her good grades!" "Yes, she has," said Mama. "But it's not unbelievable. It just shows how badly she wanted off the swimming team." "Wanted off the swimming team?" said Papa. "She never said anything about that to me." "Of course she didn't," said Mama. "She was afraid you'd _ . You already had her getting a swimming scholarship to college and winning gold medals at the Olympics. Can you imagine how much pressure she must have felt? For her, being on the team couldn't have been much fun." "Oh, my gosh!" Papa said, clapping a hand to his forehead. "I've been so stupid! I just thought she'd want to be a champion swimmer because she's so good at it." "It's like anything else, dear," said Mama. "No matter how good at it you are, if it stops being fun, you won't want to do it anymore." Papa put his head in his hands. "She must be really mad at me," he mumbled. "Maybe I should say sorry to her." Sister's footsteps could be heard on the stairs. She came into the kitchen and looked hopefully up at her parents. "Honey," said Mama with a smile, "your papa and I have decided that there's no reason for you to be on the swimming team if you don't want to." Sister's face lit up like a Christmas tree. "Yippee!" she cried. "And," added Papa, "there's no need for any more drills. I'm sure you'll bring your grades back up all by yourself." Sister ran to Papa and jumped into his arms. She gave him a big hug. "I'm going to go play cards with Lizzy!" she said. "See you later!" From the kitchen window, Mama and Papa watched their daughter run down the sunny road toward Lizzy's house. "It's good to see her happy again," said Mama. "It sure is," Papa agreed. "As for the swimming team, there's always next year." "If?" Mama prompted him. "Oh, right," said Papa. "If she wants to." Mama smiled. "At least you're learning, dear," she said. She kissed him. "Well, you... Question: Which might be the proper title for the passage?

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: We've all heard the story of Three Little Pigs. The third pig foiled the hyperventilating wolf by building his house out of bricks, rather than with straw or sticks as his brothers had done. Less commonly known is that the pig later improved his home's safety profile by installing convex security mirrors at key points along the driveway. Well, why not? In the current issue of Animal Behaviour, researchers present evidence that domestic pigs can quickly learn how mirrors work and will use their understanding of reflected images to scope out their surroundings and find their food. The researchers cannot yet say whether the animals realize that the eyes in the mirror are their own, or whether pigs might rank with apes, dolphins and other species that have passed the famed "mirror self-recognition test" thought to be a marker of self-awareness and advanced intelligence. The finding is just one in a series of recent discoveries from the nascent study of pig cognition . Other researchers have found that pigs are brilliant at remembering where food stores are cached and how big each stash is to the rest. They've shown that Pig A can almost instantly learn to follow Pig B when the second pig shows signs of knowing where good food is stored, and that Pig B will try to deceive the pursuing pig and throw it off the trail so that Pig B can hog its food in peace. They've found that pigs are among the quickest of animals to learn a new routine, and pigs can do circus worth of tricks: jump hoops, bow and stand, spin and make word like sounds on command, roll out rugs, herd sheep, close and open cages, play videogames with joysticks, and more. For better or worse, pigs are also slow to forget. "They can learn something on the first try, but then it's difficult for them to unlearn it," said Suzanne Held of the University of Bristol. "They may get scared once and then have trouble getting over it." Question: Pigs can play all the tricks, except _ . Options: A: herd sheep B: play video games with joysticks C: sing and dance D: bow and stand
