Answer:

A; Laura Bridgman had dressed the doll that Miss Sullivan gave to Helen. should be right

One sunny day a few years ago, I was out riding my road bike with my Aunt Natalia, a tri-athlete, and some of her training partners. We were riding in a single line at a fast pace on a country road with a nice wide shoulder. Every couple minutes the lead rider would pull to the side and drop to the back of the line. Slowly and inevitably, I was working my way from the back to the front of the speeding line of cyclists. When my turn came to take the front of the line, I didn't want to slow the pace and seem like a weakling. I dropped my head and concentrated on keeping my legs spinning fast. The effort on the front of the line seemed twice as hard as it had in the back. I knew I only needed to stay on the front for about a minute, but my legs felt drained immediately, and I began gasping in the humid air.Suddenly from behind I heard, "Glass!"I looked up and sure enough several broken bottles littered the road ahead. I stared helplessly as my tire headed for a sharp shiny shard of amber. I couldn't take my eyes from the danger ahead. I felt a slight bump and heard the horrible sound of air released from a high pressure tire. The next thing I knew I was in the grass off the shoulder of the road, legs tangled in the frame of my bike.That afternoon I learned a valuable lesson about bike riding and about life. No, I didn't learn to "Look where you are going," though certainly that may have helped me that day if I had seen the glass soon enough. In fact, what I learned was something completely different than, "Look where you are going."After Natalia had made sure that I wasn't hurt in any significant way, she asked me what had happened. I explained to her that when I looked up all I could see was the piece of bottle ahead of my tire.She stopped me there and said, "Always remember, the bike goes where you are looking. If you could have looked beside the piece of glass, your tire would have missed it and you would still be riding."From that day forward I have lived by that advice: "You go where you are looking." That advice has helped more in life than on the road, though certainly I haven't run over any more little pieces of glass with my bike. From that day, I have kept my focus on my goals rather than on those things that stand in my way.

The Necessity of Hybrids".

What do you get if you cross two different species? Depending upon the species, you might end up with a grolar bear, a wolfdog, or a Savannah cat, among many others. What do these animals have in common? They're hybrids. Sometimes hybrids happen naturally in the wild, but usually, hybrids are the result of humans selectively breeding animals.

Grolar bears and pizzlies are the result of crossing polar bears and grizzly bears. These hybrids were first seen in zoos, as the bears' natural habitats did not normally overlap. Recently, these hybrids have started appearing in the wild. Due to climate change, the bears' once-separate habitats are beginning to overlap. Bigger and more aggressive than their parents, grolar bears and pizzlies could pose a risk to natural habitats and humans.

Wolfdogs are, as their name suggests, the result of crossing a wolf with a domestic dog. Bred for the pet trade, these hybrids do not often happen in the wild. Wolfdogs do not make good pets, however, as they can be destructive and aggressive. Many states have outlawed keeping wolfdogs because they can pose a danger to people.

Savannah cats are another example of human-made hybrids that were developed to be pets. Savannahs are the result of crossing a small wildcat called a serval with a domestic housecat. They look like miniature versions of the wildcat, which is why many people like keeping them as pets. Like the wolfdog, however, Savannahs do not make ideal house pets. They can be destructive, and usually, they keep the wild nature of the serval.

There are many more examples of human-made hybrid animals. Some hybrids, such as the mule, have been helpful to humans. Unfortunately, others, like the wolfdog or Savannah cat, should not have been made in the first place.

According to the text, why are bear hybrids being seen in the wild?

Due to climate change, the bears' once-separate habitats are beginning to overlap.

Grolar bears and pizzlies are the result of crossing polar bears and grizzly bears.

Grolar bears and pizzlies could pose a risk to natural habitats and humans.

These hybrids were first seen in zoos, as the bears' natural habitats did not normally overlap.

Uluru, the Great Rock

In 1873, explorer William Gosse found a large rock on the continent of Australia. He named it Ayers Rock after Sir Henry Ayers, who was then the prime minister of Southern Australia. But, the rock already had a name.
The rock had been a very important and sacred site to the Aborigines, who were the people who first lived on the continent. They had called the rock "Uluru" long before England started prison colonies there in the 1700s. When the government of Australia returned ownership of the rock to the Aborigines, it once again became known around the world as Uluru.
Uluru, which is the world's largest rock, is made of sandstone marked by rainwater gullies, or ditches. There are also caves with ancient carvings on the walls. The rock rises to over 1,100 feet tall, and its borders stretch to 6 miles. Though its climate is hot like the desert, there is considerable plant and animal life in the area around Uluru. During the day, different colors are reflected from it in the sunlight. At night, it glows red like a large burning coal.
Many people travel to Australia each year to witness the wonder of Uluru. Some like to walk around the edge of the rock on the ground. Others climb to the top, though some people think they should not do so. They believe that climbing destroys the beauty of the rock. They also argue that it should be kept as a sacred place for the Aborigines. From the ground or its highest point, Uluru is a true wonder of the world.

Passage 2
To Climb or Not to Climb

The continent of Australia is vast with many amazing sites to enjoy. One of these is Uluru, formerly known as Ayers Rock. It is a giant rock formation that rises out of the center of the continent. The rock and the area that surrounds it are known to be sacred to the aboriginal peoples of Australia.
Beginning in the late 1930s, Uluru became a favorite spot for tourists who visited Australia. Over time, roads were run up to the base of the rock, making way for cars and tour buses to carry visitors up close. Motels and other buildings were erected nearby. However, after the government gradually realized the negative effects these additions were having on the area, it moved the buildings farther away.
Though the rock and its surroundings had been home to aboriginal groups, the Australian government owned and managed it until the mid-1980s. Then, the area was given back with certain conditions. One condition was that visitors could still climb the rock. This was against the wishes of the aboriginal groups because of the rock's importance in their culture. It was also clear that having tourists on the rock—and in the surrounding areas—was harmful to nearby plant and animal life. The group worked together with the government to try to limit or control climbing on the rock, but agreements were not always kept. However, after a number of undesirable behaviors by tourists in recent years, it has been decided that climbing will be banned in the near future.

Which statement best describes Uluru according to the passages?
A.
Uluru is important to all the people of Australia and their government as a tourist site.
B.
Uluru is a rock formation that is more important to some people than to others.
C.
Uluru is a rock formation in Australia that is sacred to some people and interesting to others.
D.
Uluru is being destroyed by misbehaving tourists who visit the continent of Australia.
