    Dewey and the Dentist
    Dr. Brown, the dentist, didn’t have to ask his patient, Dewey, to open wide. The sleeping bear’s mouth was already open.
    Dewey was a Kodiak, the largest of all brown bears. He weighed in at 1,600 powerful pounds. His teeth were ten times the size of human teeth.
    “We’ll have to work fast,” Dr. Brown told his team of assistants. “We have three hours until the bear wakes up. And I see that he’s got four bad teeth.”
    Dr. Brown worked with tools to remove one of Dewey’s bad teeth. All went smoothly for the first hour. Then the power went out. The machine that kept Dewey asleep stopped working. If the bear woke up, he could hurt himself or others in the room.
    The zookeeper ran down the long hallway of the bear house. She found the fuse box and flipped switch after switch to restore the power, but nothing happened. Everyone in Dewey’s room stared at the huge wild animal, their hearts pounding. Suddenly, the zookeeper tried a switch she had overlooked. The machine keeping Dewey asleep began whirring. Now Dr. Brown had less than an hour to fix three more teeth. He and his assistants worked quickly. They finished with only minutes to spare before they got out of the room, locked it, and allowed the groggy bear to wake up.

    1.   Dewey, the Kodiak bear
    2.   the zookeeper

    Checking Out Giants
    “Come on, Jesse! Let’s find ourselves some giants!” yelled Max.
    “Everything is giant here,” said Jesse softly. “This place is huge.” Oak and cypress trees greeted the boys as they started on a trail through the state park. The shady path was just wide enough for the two cousins to walk side by side. Jesse enjoyed the peace and quiet after two hours in the car with Max. The only sound he heard was the occasional twitter of birds—until Max started complaining.
    “We should have watched the Giants game instead of looking for stupid giant trees,” Max said. Jesse ignored him and focused on the cool breeze and the smell of damp soil.
    “Got any water, Jesse?” Max asked loudly, making Jesse jump. Jesse handed Max an extra bottle from his pack. Max took a swig and then squirted some water on Jesse, laughing. Jesse calmly wiped his face with his shirt and kept walking.
    “Check out the size of this thing!” Max yelled. He was the first to spot the huge redwood tree blackened by lightning. Both boys stood at the base of the trunk, staring up.
    “I don’t think I can even see the top!” whispered Jesse.
    Then the boys noticed that fire had carved out a large hollow space at the base of the trunk. They stooped to step through the opening. Inside the hole, they could barely see each other in the darkness. Max grinned as he ran his hand down the rough interior bark. “We’re inside a tree!” he exclaimed. “This is way better than some old ballgame!”
    Which part of the setting excited Max?
    1.   the car he and Jesse rode in

    Deep into the Earth
    The year was 1898. Jim White’s horse clopped through the desert grasses of New Mexico. As the summer sun set, the teenage cowboy noticed a whirlwind of bats climbing into the sky. Jim watched for a long time as the bats flooded the air.
    “There’s got to be a million of them!” Jim thought. “Their cave must be huge!” He searched until he found the biggest and blackest hole he had ever seen. Jim knew he had to explore it.
    Jim returned a few days later with some supplies. Carrying a lantern, he climbed down a wooden ladder into the gloom. Jim crawled over ledges, through tunnels, and into giant hambers. The cave was too large to explore in just a few hours. Five days later, Jim and a friend dared to spend three days underground. They brought food, water, homemade torches, and a large ball of string to help them find their way out of the dark maze. As the boys explored, they discovered more caves leading to still others. The boys saw amazing rock formations of many different colors and shapes.
    Jim had told people about the enormous caverns under their feet. But no one believed that such huge caves could exist.
    Jim returned to the caves over and over again. Finally, 17 years after Jim had made his discovery, a photographer joined him in the caves. Years later, photos of the caves were published, and people at last began believing Jim. In 1930, the black hole that Jim White had first climbed into became the entrance to Carlsbad Caverns National Park.
    Which best describes what the passage is about?
    1.   how a famous cave system was discovered
    2.   people not believing what they are told
    3.   a national park in New Mexico
    4.   a swarm of bats living in caves
28. Which one states a theme of the story?
    1.   Treat nature with care.
    2.   Never give up.
    3.   Lying can be dangerous.
    4.   Friendships are important.
29. Which statement would Jim White most likely agree with?
    1.   “Some places are too big to explore.”
    2.   “Never follow an unmarked path.”
    3.   “Being brave can lead to great discovery.”
    4.   “It is better to give up than take a risk.”
30. What lesson did Jim White learn when he told people about the cave?
    1.   Adults are trusted more than teenagers.
    2.   Not everyone believes the truth.
    3.   Everyone loves exploring caves.
