Teddy carried him off to bed, and insisted on Rikki-tikki sleeping under his chin. Rikki-tikki was too well bred to bite or scratch, but as soon as Teddy was asleep he went off for his nightly walk round the house, and in the dark he ran up against Chuchundra, the muskrat, creeping round by the wall. Chuchundra is a broken-hearted little beast. He whimpers and cheeps all the night, trying to make up his mind to run into the middle of the room, but he never gets there.

Have you ever been to a zoo? You were probably able to see many animals that you had only ever seen in a science textbook. The experience you had at the zoo was probably memorable and taught you things you never knew before.Zoos allow animals to live in a safe environment. These animals do not have to worry about the threat or stress of predators. They do not have to deal with the irritation or pain of injuries and illnesses that they would if they lived in the wild. Animals in the zoo are given top-quality treatment when they are hurt or in need of special care. The animals are hydrated and fed, and zookeepers are sure to give them a high-quality diet with all the nutrients needed. A good zoo provides great care and protection for the animals in their care. Because there are many species of animals in danger of going extinct, zoos provide an even more important role in our world. Zoos help protect species going extinct. A species that is kept in captivity is a zoo’s effort to help rebuild the population. Once the population is rebuilt, the zoos can reintroduce the animals to the wild. Without zoos, many more species would be extinct. When an animal species is extinct, there is no new research that can be done. Many children and adults enjoy seeing animals in person. Kids learn seeing, hearing, smelling and watching what an animal does. This allows humans to have a greater understanding of animal species that they would never have had the chance to learn about if zoos did not exist. When we as humans have opportunities to learn about the animals on our planet, we can make the right decisions in order to keep our ecosystems successfully functioning.

The Camper Badge

Marisol had been in Girl Scouts for five years, and she only needed one more badge to complete her scouts uniform. She had put off the camping challenge required to obtain the Camper Badge because sleeping outside in the woods sounded terrible, but the time had come, and Marisol couldn't put it off any longer.
Her parents began packing everything for their weekend camping trip the day before. Their living room was piled with sleeping bags, a tent, coolers, flashlights, and backpacks. Marisol's mother asked her to gather the sunscreen, bug spray, and extra batteries while her dad dug for a lantern and the hotdog skewers. It seemed like an awful lot to pack for one weekend.
Early the next morning, they loaded the car and began their hour-long drive to the campsite. While gazing out the window, Marisol began to think about her Camper Badge. In order to receive her badge, Marisol had to build a fire, sleep overnight in a tent, navigate the campsite using a compass, and draw a map of the area, so as soon as they arrived, she took out her drawing supplies. Once her map was complete with major landmarks including the river, two large trees, a picnic table, and fire pit, she dug around in her bag for her compass. Surprisingly, the compass ended up being quite simple and fun to use.
Marisol began feeling anxious as she noticed the sun starting to set and the sky becoming darker and darker. Working together, Marisol and her mom started a campfire and began roasting hotdogs and marshmallows. Cooking over a fire was fun and tasty, but then it was time to settle into the tent for the night. Marisol couldn't stop thinking about the sounds of the woods and darkness; surely, she wouldn't sleep at all.
Marisol woke to the sound of her father stoking the fire as he stacked rocks and placed a skillet full of pancakes on top. She was surprised at how fast she had fallen asleep the night before. The weekend turned out to be better than she anticipated, and Marisol couldn't wait to plan their next camping trip.What is the best summary of the passage?

Ocean Noise

When we think about the pollution of our oceans, many of us think of oil spills that dirty the waters and harm a variety of ocean life. Or, we might think of people in boats who litter the waters with their trash. After all, how many times in the news do we hear about ships that leak dangerous chemicals into the water? What we may not realize, though, is that there is another danger that is just as harmful to ocean life as any chemical or other dangerous material: ocean noise.

Many of us think of the oceans as silent places. On the contrary, they are filled with a variety of sounds. On any given day, one might hear the calls of dolphins as they swim through the waters. Whales use sounds to keep track of each other. Sea lions talk to each other to find food. Even the tiniest of shrimp make a snapping sound. There are also sounds caused by wind or rain upon the waters. Sound also plays an important role in the daily life of various ocean animals, many of which depend upon their sharp sound detection skills to survive. With increased activities by people on many of the oceans’ waters, the noise has increased so much that it is beginning to cause damage to the oceans as well as to the animals that live in them.

Ocean noise is the term used to describe the human-made noise occurring at increasing rates in the ocean. The noise comes from many different sources: large ships, small boats with motors, and jet skis, among others. There are also underwater exploration activities such as mining, as well as radar activities of ships. One of the most harmful types of ocean noise occurs with offshore oil drilling and seismic oil explorations. Air guns are instruments that are used to determine the location of oil and natural gas beneath the sea floor. They make a sound that can damage the hearing of ocean animals.

We know that sound travels faster in water than it does in air. This means that sounds in the oceans can travel for many, many miles in a short period of time. Unfortunately, sounds made by people are much louder than sounds made by ocean animals.

What this means is that sounds caused by noisy engines or radar equipment used by ships can upset the everyday activities of the creatures that live in the ocean. For instance, humpback whales use songs to talk to each other. Scientists have discovered that the whales’ system of “talking” can be disturbed by loud noises. This makes it harder for the whales to find each other. The stranding of whales and dolphins has been found to increase immediately after naval sonar maneuvers. Sea lions are another type of animal that depends on sounds to communicate with other sea lions. Ocean noise can make it difficult for them to find food. Ocean noise can disturb migration routes of whales and other animals that travel to different places.

However, scientists and other researchers are working hard to find a solution to this threat to marine life. Since 2003, the use of low-frequency active (LFA) sonar equipment by the United States Navy has been tightly limited because its effects have been shown to cause harm to many ocean animals. NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) has released a plan to reduce ocean noise that will work better than past attempts to reduce the noise.

Other people are helping as well. Some fishing companies use special equipment that makes a “pinging” sound to keep certain kinds of ocean life from getting caught in its fishing nets. The National Park Service completed a study that tracked tour cruise ships and made an effort to reduce the number of tours. They also tried to increase the “quiet time” for humpback whales by scheduling tours farther apart.

Local conservation groups are also asking people to be more careful about using jet skis, motorboats, and other equipment that might disturb areas where ocean life is particularly fragile. Also, closer attention is being paid to where ships are traveling to make sure that, whenever possible, they stay away from waters where large numbers of ocean animals live.

With the increase in ocean noise, measures must be taken to control or, at the very least, curb its growth.

What argument does the author make in "Ocean Noise"?

Marine animals contribute more to noise pollution in the ocean than humans.

A reduction in noise pollution will do little to help marine life.

Progress in noise reduction has been stalled by the use of sonar equipment.

People must take immediate action to reduce ocean noise pollution to help marine life.
