Passage 1:

Sometimes humans and animals come into conflict with each other. This can threaten people's livelihoods and also threaten the animals' lives. In central Namibia, farmers have a problem with cheetahs. The cheetahs prey on the baby cows (calves). In turn, the farmers often try to kill the wild cats in order to protect their cattle!
Wouldn't it be great if we could study the situation and find a solution that suits both the farmers and the cheetahs? This is what we did with our research. We tracked the cheetah's behavior. We noticed that the cheetahs did not move their area to go after the calves. We thought that if the farmers kept their groups of cows with calves in certain areas, and not in others, they could avoid cheetah attacks. The farmers took our advice. They then compared the number of calves killed by cheetahs before and after these changes. So, did our advice work? Yes! The farmers observed a significant reduction in calves killed by cheetahs. This could prevent farmers from losing their valuable livestock and stop them from trying to kill the cheetahs.
Looking for solutions based on animal behavior could work for other species too. Can you think of any human-wildlife conflicts in your area? And do you think they could be solved without the animals being harmed or killed?

93- The word ``cattle'' in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to \ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots . 1) herd 2) life 3) farm 4) crops

94- What was the purpose of the study described in paragraph 2? 1) Discovering the reason why the farmers killed the cheetahs 2) Finding a way to help prevent both calves and cheetahs from being killed 3) Understanding how to make the cheetahs change the area where they lived 4) Explaining why both farmers and cheetahs could not understand and respect each other

95- How did the farmers avoid cheetah attacks?

1. They separated calves from cows.
2. They let cheetahs kill and eat a few of the calves.
3. They followed the researchers' recommendation.
4. They moved their houses to places far from cheetahs.

96- The function of the last paragraph of the passage is to \ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots .

1. make us think about our environment without the need to consider its animals
2. encourage us to find solutions for human-wildlife conflicts that do not endanger animals
3. point out that we cannot understand animals without studying their behavior to other species
4. suggest that more studies are needed about the role that animal behavior plays in human society

Passage 2:
Dave Farrow is a Canadian who appears in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the greatest memory. As a student, despite his struggles with subjects like reading and writing, Dave found ways to improve his memory in order to do well in school. In 2008, he set a world record by memorizing the order of 59 decks of playing cards in two days. How did his brain store all of this information? According to Dave, anybody's brain can do it, but it helps to understand how memory works.
Your short-term memory can only hold information from 15 seconds to a few minutes. In addition, short-term memory can only hold about seven things at one time. Memory champions like Dave have to hold long lists of information in their short-term memory at one time. To do this, they rely on different tricks.
One trick is to look at the first letter of every word you want to memorize. Then, create your own word, phrase or sentence using all of those letters. This is called an acronym. For example, if you want to remember all the colors in a rainbow, try remembering the name Roy G. Biv. Each letter in this fictional name matches the first letter of a color.
