Arthur loved his garden more than anything. For months, he had been carefully growing giant carrots for the town's annual vegetable competition. However, last week, he noticed something terrible: someone was stealing his giant carrots, pulling them out of the dirt one by one.
Determined to catch the thief, Arthur bought a new security camera and stayed awake all night by his window. Around 2:00 AM, he finally saw a shadow moving near the vegetable beds. The figure was wearing a long white coat and moving very slowly. Although his heart was beating fast with fear, Arthur quickly grabbed his flashlight and rushed outside to confront the criminal.
"Got you!" Arthur shouted, turning on his bright flashlight.
To his absolute surprise, it wasn't a neighborhood teenager or a wild animal. It was his wife, Martha, still fast asleep. She was wearing her white winter coat over her pajamas and holding a half-eaten carrot in her hand. Martha had a history of sleepwalking, but Arthur never expected she was the "monster" destroying his garden! He couldn't help but laugh as he gently guided his sleeping wife back to bed.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Have you ever seen a cat fall from a low height and somehow still land safely on its feet? This isn't just luck - it's a special ability called the "righting reflex." Most cats are born with it, and it starts working when they're only a few weeks old.
Here's how it works. When a cat begins to fall, its inner ear immediately senses which way is up and which way is down. This sense of balance sends a signal to the cat's brain, telling it to twist its body around in midair. First, the head turns to face the ground. Then, the rest of the body follows, twisting the spine so the legs point downward too. All of this can happen in less than a second, even before the cat reaches the ground.
A cat's flexible spine and lack of a true collarbone make this twisting motion possible. Unlike humans, cats can rotate the front and back halves of their bodies almost independently, like two separate pieces working together.
However, this reflex isn't magic - cats still need enough space to fall before their landing to complete the flip safely. That's why falls from very short heights, like a chair, can actually be more dangerous for cats than falls from higher places.
Which of the following best serves as the title for the passage?
The Anatomy of Felines: How Cats Jump and Run
The Righting Reflex: How Cats Land on Their Feet
The Dangers of Low Heights for Domestic Pets
How the Human and Cat Skeletons Differ

The flexible spine
The inner ear
The front legs
The brain surface
According to the passage, when does the righting reflex begin to function in cats?
Immediately at the exact moment of birth
After they survive their first low fall
When their collarbone becomes fully formed
When they reach several weeks of age
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
Cats twist their heads before the rest of their bodies turn.
The righting reflex can happen in under one second.
Cats can rotate the front and back of their bodies separately.
Adult cats perform the reflex faster than young kittens do.
What is true according to paragraph 4?
The righting reflex has physical limits and doesn't always work perfectly.
Cats are completely safe no matter how short the fall is.
Scientists have proven the righting reflex works instantly every time.
The righting reflex only works when cats fall from tall heights.
