Read the story below and answer the questions.
"I want to go hiking like you and Dad did last month," Lucy told her older brother Tom. "I'm sure I'd love it."
Tom shook his head. "I'm not so sure, Lucy. You'd need to be a bit older, and you'd have to keep calm out in the woods. I bet wild animals would scare you." Lucy felt annoyed hearing this. If her brother could manage it, so could she! She was determined to show Tom that she wasn't afraid of anything.
"Tom, why don't we ask Mom if we can camp out in the backyard tonight? I'll show you I can last the whole night without being scared."
"Fair enough, Lucy. And if you do get scared, I'll be right there," Tom said with a grin. Lucy was more determined than ever to prove him wrong.
That night, the two of them sat inside a tent in the yard, using their phone flashlights to tell stories back and forth. Tom kept trying to spook his sister, but nothing seemed to shake her.
Then, out of nowhere, a large shadow crept across the side of the tent. Lucy smiled instantly - she recognized it right away as their dog, Rusty. She turned to Tom, whose eyes had gone wide with panic. "Wild animal!" he shouted. Moments later, Rusty bounded into the tent, tail wagging with excitement. Lucy burst out laughing - she had proven her point after all.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Uluru is a giant rock formation that stands in the desert of central Australia. Also known as Ayer's Rock, the famous landmark is an Australian icon and a hot spot for tourists. But for the local Anangu, Uluru is the heart of a region where they have lived for more than 20,000 years. Until recently, many visitors came to Uluru with the objective of climbing it. However, the Australian government and several tour companies are asking visitors not to do this. In fact, in 2019, the government of Australia introduced an official policy to stop visitors from climbing the monument.
The concerns over climbing Uluru are partly because it is dangerous. However, it is also a sacred site for the Anangu people, the traditional owners of the rock, and the millions of footprints that have climbed up the main path have caused a "scar" to form. For the Anangu, climbing Uluru is a spiritual experience and not meant to be something done for fun or as a sport.
Adventure Tours and SEIT Outback Australia are just two of the companies that work to educate visitors about the culture of Uluru. Some of them hire indigenous guides who can share the perspectives of the local people. Instead of taking tourists to the top of the rock, tour guides lead tourists around Uluru on the paths that Anangu ancestors walked. The guides tell traditional stories about how the world was born and how people are connected to the land. Through these travel experiences, visitors can leave Uluru culturally richer than when they arrived.
