Question: Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Babies are not just passing idle time when they stare at the television--they are actually learning about the world, U. S. researchers said. Parents may want to limit what their babies see on television, based on the study, said Donna Mumme, assistant professor of psychology at Tuffs University in Boston, who led the research. "Children as young as 12 months are making decisions based on the emotional reactions of adults around them," Mumme said in a statement. "It turns out they can also use emotional information they pick up from television." Mumme's team already knew that babies watch other children and adults for information about the world. A mother urging her baby to eat some "yummy" soup or a brother crying in fear when a dog approaches can influence a baby's reaction. Mumme's team tested babies to determine if television has the same influence, showing actors reacting on a videotape to objects such as red letter holder, a blue ball, and a yellow lubber. Babies aged 10 months or 12 months were later given the same objects to play with. Ten-month-olds did not seem to be influenced by the videos, but the 1-year-olds were. When the actors acted naturally or positively to an object, the babies happily played with them. But if the actor had seemed afraid or disgusted, the babies would avoid the object. Question: Mumme reached his conclusion by  _  . - measuring the time babies spent in front of TV - making TV programs and advertisements for kids - showing actors how to react to blue balls - observing small babies' reactions to TV programs
A: observing small babies' reactions to TV programs


Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Living in the wild can be hard. Finding food and staying safe aren't easy. Each day, animals struggle to survive in their habitats. Not all animals get by on their own. Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals. These pairings are called symbiotic   relationships. In a symbiotic relationship, the animals depend on each other. One animal helps the other meet its needs. Sounds good, right? Not always. Some animals are not very kind to their partners. In some cases, one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner. Take ticks, for example. These insects suck blood to live. To get blood, they attach themselves to other kinds of animals. Ticks can pass germs that cause disease instead of helping their hosts. In other relationships, animals don't treat their partners so poorly. Both animals benefit from living with the other animal. Small animals called cleaner shrimps have found a way of helping fish at coral reefs. As their name suggests, the shrimps clean the fish. They hang out at what scientists call a cleaning station. A fish stops by. Then a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps into the fish's mouth. The shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fish's body. That can include dead skin, tiny pieces of food, and wee creatures that can hurt the fish. The fish gets a nice cleaning. The shrimp enjoys a tasty meal of fish trash. Small birds called plovers are also in the cleaning business. They have big customers-crocodiles. Crocs have long snouts   filled with sharp teeth. Cleaning them is tricky. When a croc opens its mouth, the plover hops right in. The croc does not snap its snout shut.Instead, it lets the plover eat small, harmful animals attached to the crocodile's teeth. The plover gets an easy meal while the croc gets clean teeth. Question: When plovers hop into crocodiles' mouths, they   _  . - are really to clean crocodiles' teeth - are to make crocodiles happy - aren't afraid of being eaten - aren't happy to clean the crocodiles' teeth
A: aren't afraid of being eaten


Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: The bell rings and in a few moments. the most disordered part of the day begins-lunch. Food begins to be dished out. and some students are eager to see their friends. while others cannot bear the thought of what is about to happen. Anxie0,  builds for many as they think today will be just like any other day. Press repeat and this happens every day.      But Bridport Elementary in Bridport introduced a system to solve this classic scene of loneliness and meet new friendships. There's hardly room for the question, "Will you save me a seat?" at Britiport Elementary where students are guided to assigned  tables and given the. opportunity to open their hearts and minds to a new friend. The  school's president Kilbourne  had observed too many days in which the same kids were left alone, while the others were always accompanied by friends. Something had to change.     The school gives a new system- in which students line up to pick a numbered stick before getting their food. Each stick has a number that's linked with a table, showing where they will eat lunch for the day.      This system was used five months ago. Today, if you walked into the cafeteria. you wouldn't find any numbers or any sticks. Kilbourne made a promise to the students that the system would eventually disappear if she saw that students learned to value inclusivity       and friendship.     People really saw a change. A girl was walking around by herself with her lunch in her hand. and four tables asked her to join them. At another table. a kindergartener was sitting alone for just a few moments before two sixth graders came over to sit with him. and actively included him in conversation.      Now we are left wondering: how can lessons learned from the cafeteria be used elsewhere? Students and adults all over the country could benefit from an approach in which every person is always welcome at the table in any situation. Question: What inspjred the president of Bridport Elementary to introduce the system? - Students didn't speak to friends at a table. - Students didn't manage to get a seat in the cafeteria. - Students had no one to communicate with in a crowd. - Students had little interest in lunch due to the pressure of study.
A: Students had no one to communicate with in a crowd.
