Passage: Kathy Jimson moved into our neighborhood in August. Right away, she started to change her front yard. She pulled out all the old vines and planted a simple garden that's easy to take care of.
Its most striking feature is a trail of Arizona river rock. These silver stones brighten the yard and are a good contrast to the plants. She has planted slow-growing garden juniper among the rocks. Their gray-green needles provide an excellent contrast to the stones.
The grass she chose, with its wonderful yellow spires, requires little water. The yellow mums, which also use little water, are great accents to the darker shrubs. At both corners, she has planted bright red roses that need little care.
All her shrubs are dwarf varieties that need little attention. In the center of the yard are a soft-leaf yucca tree and a Japanese maple tree. The whole yard is surrounded by a border of liriope flowers, which can survive on rainfall alone.

Question: What is this passage mainly about?
A. describing a simple garden
B. educating readers about fall plants
C. how to use river rock in a garden
D. fitting dwarf plants into a garden

It all began with Effie's getting something in her eye. It hurt very much indeed, and it felt something like a red-hot spark—only it seemed to have legs as well, and wings like a fly. Effie rubbed and cried—not real crying, but the kind your eye does all by itself without your being miserable inside your mind—and then she went to her father to have the thing in her eye taken out. Effie's father was a doctor, so of course he knew how to take things out of eyes.

When he had gotten the thing out, he said: "This is very curious." Effie had often got things in her eye before, and her father had always seemed to think it was natural—rather tiresome and naughty perhaps, but still natural. He had never before thought it curious.

Effie stood holding her handkerchief to her eye, and said: "I don't believe it's out." People always say this when they have had something in their eyes.

"Oh, yes—it's out," said the doctor. "Here it is, on the brush. This is very interesting."

Effie had never heard her father say that about anything that she had any share in. She said: "What?"

The doctor carried the brush very carefully across the room, and held the point of it under his microscope—then he twisted the brass screws of the microscope, and looked through the top with one eye.

"Dear me," he said. "Dear, dear me! Four well-developed limbs; a long caudal appendage; five toes, unequal in lengths, almost like one of the Lacertidae, yet there are traces of wings." The creature under his eye wriggled a little in the castor oil, and he went on: "Yes; a bat-like wing. A new specimen, undoubtedly. Effie, run round to the professor and ask him to be kind enough to step in for a few minutes."

"You might give me sixpence, Daddy," said Effie, "because I did bring you the new specimen. I took great care of it inside my eye, and my eye does hurt."

The doctor was so pleased with the new specimen that he gave Effie a shilling, and presently the professor stepped round. He stayed to lunch, and he and the doctor quarreled very happily all the afternoon about the name and the family of the thing that had come out of Effie's eye.

But at teatime another thing happened. Effie's brother Harry fished something out of his tea, which he thought at first was an earwig. He was just getting ready to drop it on the floor, and end its life in the usual way, when it shook itself in the spoon—spread two wet wings, and flopped onto the tablecloth. There it sat, stroking itself with its feet and stretching its wings, and Harry said: "Why, it's a tiny newt!"

The professor leaned forward before the doctor could say a word. "I'll give you half a crown for it, Harry, my lad," he said, speaking very fast; and then he picked it up carefully on his handkerchief.

"It is a new specimen," he said, "and finer than yours, Doctor."

It was a tiny lizard, about half an inch long—with scales and wings.

So now the doctor and the professor each had a specimen, and they were both very pleased. But before long these specimens began to seem less valuable. For the next morning, when the knife-boy was cleaning the doctor's boots, he suddenly dropped the brushes and the boot and the blacking, and screamed out that he was burnt.

And from inside the boot came crawling a lizard as big as a kitten, with large, shiny wings.

"Why," said Effie, "I know what it is. It is a dragon like the one St. George killed."

And Effie was right. That afternoon Towser was bitten in the garden by a dragon about the size of a rabbit, which he had tried to chase, and the next morning all the papers were full of the wonderful "winged lizards" that were appearing all over the country. The papers would not call them dragons, because, of course, no one believes in dragons nowadays—and at any rate the papers were not going to be so silly as to believe in fairy stories. At first there were only a few, but in a week or two the country was simply running alive with dragons of all sizes, and in the air you could sometimes see them as thick as a swarm of bees. They all looked alike except as to size. They were green with scales, and they had four legs and a long tail and great wings like bats' wings, only the wings were a pale, half-transparent yellow, like the gear-boxes on bicycles.

A Formidable Hunter
I remember well the great horned owl that sat on the windowsill of my kindergarten classroom. It was stuffed, of course, but quite imposing nonetheless. This grand specimen was nearly two feet long — with brown, white and rusty red feathers. Its yellow eyes were large and perfectly round, giving it a wise look. Its talons were thick and sharp, and on its brow two curved feathers stuck up, looking just like two horns. I got the impression that this bird was a great hunter.

Of the 145 species of owl, the great horned is the largest. Owls live in most parts of the world, ranging from tropical to subarctic climates. The elf owl is the smallest at only six inches, but no matter what their size, all owls are good hunters. They hunt under cover of night, so their prey can't see them. Unlike other birds, owls have large, soft feathers that allow them to fly without making noise, which also makes them good predators. Farmers like owls because they keep pests such as mice, voles, rats and even rabbits from their crops and stores of grain. And they have hearty appetites. Henry Williamson, a farmer in England, had eleven barn owls on his farm. He kept careful watch on their hunting habits and was astounded to find that together they ate 150 mice each night! While farmers may be grateful to owls, owners of cats and small dogs should beware: owls have been known to pluck up small pets that unknowingly wander into the birds' hunting zones.


Select the correct answer.
Why might it be difficult to keep an owl as a pet?

A.
Owls need to eat a lot of fresh mice daily.
B.
Owl feathers need a great deal of care.
C.
Owls need to live in subarctic temperatures.
D.
Owls need to sleep during the day.
