On this day, I witnessed a wonder. I was making lunch when I saw my 6-year-old son, Billy, walking very slowly towards the woods. Minutes later he came running out again, towards the house. Soon after, I saw him walking towards the woods again. This went on for an hour. Finally I walked out of the house quietly and followed him. Billy cupped both hands in front of him as he walked, careful not to drop the water he carried. Then I saw an amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I saw a baby deer lying on the ground. It was dying of thirst, and it tried to lift its head to drink the water in my boy's hands. When the water was gone, Billy ran back to the house. I followed him to the kitchen. Billy opened the tap and a small trickle came out. He let the drips slowly fill up his "cup". Now I understood what was going on. The week before, he tried giving water to our horses but I told him not to waste water. Now when he stood up and turned, I was there in front of him. His eyes filled with tears . "I'm not wasting," he said. I joined him with a small cup of water from the kitchen. I let him walk to the baby deer alone while I stood by the woods. Tears rolled down my face. Suddenly there were some drops falling, as if the sky itself was crying. Question: The boy carried the water to the baby deer _ . Options: A: with a small pot B: by cupping his both hands C: with the help of the large deer D: by using an empty bottle

You'll eat together in a large dining hall and you'll share the bathroom with other kids. Some sleepaway camps are coed. That means there are both boys and girls at the camp.

Ques: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Unless we spend money to spot(,) and prevent asteroids now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists. Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don't threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth. But $500 million worth of new telescopes right now, then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we'll have a way to change its course. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are (i) How likely the event is; (2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare but if one did fall. It would be the end of the world. "If we don't take care of these bid asteroids, they'll take care of us," says one scientist. "it's that simple." The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets(,) of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? "the world has less fear from doomsday rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them." Said a New York Times article. Question: We can conclude from the passage that _ Options: A: While pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world. B: Asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future. C: The worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime. D: Workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth.

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: High in the mountains, and deep in the forest, lives a lake with many plants and animals in and around her. The plants and animals have enough food and clean water to keep them healthy. The wind carries air, and the rain comes down clear and clean. But recently, Lucy Lake and her friends haven't been feeling very well. All the plants and animals get together to talk about the problem. "Why are we sick?" "What can we do?" ask all of them. No one has any answers. Just then two hikers appear. The animals tell them about their problems. "Can you help us?" they ask. "Yes," one hiker says. "I think it's because of acid rain." "Acid rain comes from chemicals in the air. The pollution comes from factories, cars and trucks." "So, although I don't want to, I help the pollution travel through the air!" says the wind. "And I carry it to the land!" cries the rain. "If you can help us think of some solutions , we will send a message to tell people how to clean up our environment," one hiker says. With the help of the plants and animals, the two hikers make a list of ideas for saving Lucy Lake and her friends. Time passes, and the forest and lake begin to feel a little better. The next time the hikers climb up the mountains to Lucy Lake, they smile at what they find. "We're glad things have started to change," one hiker says. "And we're glad helped us make a difference," says the other. Question: The two hikers are most probably _ . Options: A: scientists B: teachers C: doctors D: reporters
