QUESTIONS
Read the passage below and then answer questions 1 to 7.
Hare and Elephant met in the forest one day. Hane said to Elephant, "Come on, let me pull you into the river!" Elephant said, "Are you mad?" "No, I can do it. I am telling you!" the Hare replied. "You? Look at you, you are small and weak. Look at my strength!" Said the Elephant. "Just wait," said Hare, "I will show you tomorrow."
Hare went to the river and told Hippo the same thing. Of course, Hippo laughed at Hare and told him he was crazy. Then Hare went into the forest and found a long strong rope. Off he went to Elephant. "Ok, let's try now. I am going to pull you all the way into the river."
Elephant laughed. Hare tied the rope around Elephant's leg and around his own ankle. "When you feel the rope tighten around your leg, you must pull!" Hare told the Elephant. Hare ran down to the river and told Hippo the same story. "Remember to pull when you feel the rope tighten, Hippo," called Hare as he ran back into the forest. Here he pulled and untied his end of the rope from his own ankle.
Both Hippo and Elephant felt the rope tighten and they both started pulling. They were both strong and pulled each other along. After some heavy pulling, the two of them looked up and saw each other right in front of their noses! Of course, Hare laughed until his stomach ached and ran off into the forest.

Fish live in lakes, rivers, seas, and oceans around the world. They live in all kinds of water, from warm springs to cold Arctic seas. Fish can even be found in the dark pools of underground caves. But fish cannot live in water that is extremely salty.
The many different kinds of fish have some things in common. They are all vertebrates, which means that they have a backbone. They are cold-blooded, which means that their body temperature changes along with the temperature of their surroundings. Fish generally breathe through organs called gills. They usually have pairs of fins in place of arms and legs. Most fish are covered with scales.
Fish also show great variety. Gobies, the smallest fish, can be less than half an inch (13 millimeters) long. The whale shark, the largest fish, can be 15 meters long. A typical fish is wider in the middle than at the ends. But a flounder is as flat as a dinner plate. A sea horse looks something like a horse standing on its tail. Eels look like snakes.
