📚 Part 1: Reading and Highlighting

Passage A: Amazing Dolphins

Dolphins are some of the smartest animals in the ocean. They can learn tricks and remember them for years. Dolphins also work together to hunt for fish and protect each other from danger. Scientists have discovered that dolphins can recognize themselves in mirrors, just like humans do. These incredible sea creatures even have their own language of clicks and whistles to talk to each other.

Passage B: The School Garden

Our school's new garden has become a huge success this year. Students planted tomatoes, carrots, and lettuce in the spring. Every week, different classes take turns watering and weeding the plants. The vegetables have grown so well that the cafeteria now uses them in our school lunches. Teachers say the garden helps students learn about science while growing healthy food for everyone to enjoy.

Passage C: Butterflies in Winter

Many people wonder what happens to butterflies when winter comes. Most butterflies cannot survive the cold weather, so they have special ways to make it through winter. Some butterflies, like monarchs, fly thousands of miles south to warmer places. Other types of butterflies lay eggs that can survive the cold, and new butterflies hatch in spring. A few butterflies even hibernate by hiding under logs or in tree bark until warm weather returns.

Recycling at Home

Recycling helps protect our planet by reducing waste. Families can recycle paper, plastic bottles, and aluminum cans instead of throwing them away. When we recycle, these materials get turned into new products rather than filling up landfills. Even small actions like recycling one plastic bottle can make a difference for the environment.
