Penguins are unique (special or different) animals. There are 17 species of penguins. They are aquatic (related to water), flightless birds living throughout the world although most of them are found in the Southern hemisphere and especially in Antarctica. Most penguins can be found in these countries: New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Argentina, and South Africa. Penguins spend about half their time in water and the other half on land.
They do not have wings like other birds. Penguins have flippers that they use to swim. Their black and white color serves as camouflage (hide or disguise themselves/merge with nature) as they swim under water. The white reflects and the black cannot be seen by predators. Emperor Penguins are the tallest species,standing nearly 4 feet tall. The smallest is the Little Blue Penguin, which is only about 16 inches.
Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid and other forms of sea life that they catch while swimming underwater.

Penguin parents care for their young for several months until the chicks are strong enough to hunt for food on their own. These creatures are unique and fun to observe and learn about.

Read the excerpt from "Code Talkers.”
Although American Indian soldiers had effectively used their languages to create and transmit secret messages during World War I, military leaders were reluctant to use the code a second time, fearing that it would no longer be effective. The Japanese and German governments had sent students to the United States specifically to learn certain American Indian languages. The Navajo language, however, was so complex that few people outside the Navajo Nation itself could speak it. In 1942, it was estimated that only thirty non-Navajos spoke the language worldwide.

Which questions would improve the reader’s ability to understand the military leaders’ fear that the code would no longer be effective? Select 2 options.

How many people spoke Navajo before World War I?
Was the US government able to figure out other countries’ codes?
Why did the Navajos try to prevent outsiders from learning their language?

Passage
Having a pet is a great way to reduce stress, but the decision to care for a pet should not be taken lightly. Studies show that the simple act of petting an animal can decrease levels of stress-producing hormones in the body, which can help to lower blood pressure. Pet ownership also has psychological benefits, such as enhancing feelings of safety, independence, and control, which lead to a greater sense of relaxation. Pets make wonderful companions, but it's also important that owners ensure they have the ability to take care of their animals properly. Pets are often unable to care for themselves and must rely on their owners for food, shelter, and exercise. Owners should consider if they can properly provide a pet with these necessary things before bringing one home. Pets can be both a great joy and a big responsibility.
