Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.
LIFE IN THE PAST
It is interesting to learn about life in the past. Life was much slower, and people often spent more time talking to each other. There were no smartphones or internet, so people had to find ways to entertain themselves.
Transportation was different. People often traveled on foot, by horse and sometimes in carriages, made journeys much more adventurous.
In those days, communities were usually smaller, and everyone knew each other. This created a strong sense of and support. Neighbors helped each other with farming and other tasks. People grew their own food, made their own clothes, and took care of their own animals. Life was undoubtedly harder in many ways, but it also had its own charm and simplicity.
Today, while we enjoy the conveniences of modern technology and communication, it’s important to down the values and lessons from generation to generation.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
We, humans, are used to thinking that our minds separate us from other animals. But new studies show that animals are quite intelligent and sensitive. Animal intelligence isn't found only in mammals. It can be found in other animals, such as birds.
Although we sometimes call people "birdbrains' as an insult, our feathered friends can be very smart. Some can solve puzzles. For example, ravens can untie knots. Some birds can use tools. Some crows, for example, use twigs as spears. Some birds can even use our language. An African Grey parrot named Alex does more than just imitate the human sounds. This parrot can name dozens of objects. It also seems to understand the ideas of "same", "different," and "amount".
Animals are able to feel emotion, too. This ability can be as painful for them as it is for humans. For example, some baboons live in groups where the leaders control them through fear. Low-ranking baboons can live in a constant state of stress. This stress can cause health problems, just as it does in humans. Some animals feel sadness when a family member dies. Elephants show interest even in decade-old elephant bones. Like humans, they are connected to each other in many ways.
