Read the story and answer the questions.
Last summer, the Parker family went camping near a quiet forest. On the first night, just as everyone was falling asleep, a strange rustling sound came from the food bag by the tent door.
"Did you hear that?" whispered Emma, sitting up quickly.
Her older brother, Jake, froze. "It sounds big," he said nervously. "Maybe it's a bear!"
No one dared to move. The sound continued for what felt like hours - a soft scratching, then silence, then more scratching. Their father grabbed a flashlight but was too afraid to open the tent flap. "Let's just wait until morning," he said.
None of them slept well that night. Every little noise made them jump.
When the sun finally rose, Jake carefully unzipped the tent and peeked outside. He laughed with relief. There, sitting on top of the food bag, was a small gray squirrel that looked just as tired as they felt. It seemed the squirrel had probably squeezed inside during the night looking for something to eat, and then couldn't find its way back out.
"All that fear," said Emma, shaking her head, "over one little squirrel!"
They didn't feel afraid at all during the night.
They knew right away that it was a small animal.
They were used to strange sounds when they went camping.

Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
Plastic is a material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago from parts of plants. Plastics are now made from oil, coal, and natural gas. We are using up these things so fast that the Earth's supplies may run out. Because of this, scientists are investigating new ideas for making plastics from plants such as sweet potato, bamboo, and flax.
Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the planet. Some plastics can last for a long time without wearing out and can be difficult to get rid of when they are not needed. They can remain in rubbish dumps called landfill sites for hundreds of years.
Recycling is a good way to solve the problems of unwanted plastics. Recycled waste materials can be used again to make new products. This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to be recycled in different ways. Some kinds of plastics can be melted down and used to make new things such as bags and bottles. Others can be made into fibres for clothing.
Another way to protect the environment is to use canvas bags for shopping instead of plastic ones. A lot of plastic objects can also be reused. Plastic bottles can be refilled many times, rather than throwing them away once they are empty. Unwanted plastic goods such as CDs and toys can be sold or given away to charity shops.
