Koko
Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Refer to the text to check your answers when appropriate.
Did you know that humans aren't the only species that use language? Bees communicate by dancing. Whales talk to each other by singing. And some apes talk to humans by using American Sign Language.
Meet Koko: a female gorilla born at the San Francisco Zoo on July 4th, 1971. Koko learned sign language from her trainer, Dr. Penny Patterson. Patterson began teaching sign language to Koko in 1972, when Koko was one year old. Koko must have been a good student, because two years later she moved onto the Stanford University campus with Dr. Patterson. Koko continued to learn on the campus until 1976. That's when she began living full-time with Patterson's group, the Gorilla Foundation. Patterson and Koko's relationship has blossomed ever since.
Dr. Patterson says that Koko has mastered sign language. She says that Koko knows over 1,000 words, and that Koko makes up new words. For example, Koko didn't know the sign for ring, so
she signed the words finger and bracelet. Dr. Patterson thinks that this shows meaningful and constructive use of language.
Not everyone agrees with Dr. Patterson. Some argue that apes like Koko do not understand the meaning of what they are doing. Skeptics say that these apes are just performing complex tricks. For example, if Koko points to an apple and signs red or apple, Dr. Patterson will give her an apple. They argue that Koko does not really know what the sign apple means. She only knows that that if she makes the right motion, one which Dr. Patterson has shown her, then she gets an apple. The debate is unresolved, but one thing is for certain: Koko is an extraordinary ape.
Sign language isn't the only unusual thing about Koko. She's also been a pet-owner. In 1983, at the age of 12, researchers said that Koko asked for a cat for Christmas. They gave Koko a stuffed cat. Koko was not happy. She did not play with it, and she continued to sign sad. So for her birthday in 1984, they let her pick a cat out of an abandoned liter. Koko picked a gray cat and named him "All Ball." Dr. Patterson said that Koko loved and nurtured All Ball as though he were a baby gorilla. Sadly, All Ball got out of Koko's cage and was hit by a car. Patterson reported that Koko signed "Bad, sad, bad" and "Frown, cry, frown, sad" when she broke the news to her.
It seems like Patterson and Koko have a good relationship, but not everyone agrees with it. Some critics believe that Patterson is humanizing the ape. They believe that apes should be left in the most natural state possible. Even Dr. Patterson struggles with these feelings. When asked if her findings could be duplicated by another group of scientists, she said, "We don't think that it would be ethical to do again." She went on to argue that animals should not be kept in such unnatural circumstances. Nonetheless, Koko lives in her foundation today.
As for the future, Dr. Patterson and the Gorilla Foundation would love to get Koko to an ape preserve in Maui, but they are having trouble securing the land. So unless you have a few million dollars to spare, Koko's going to be spending her time in Woodland, California with Dr. Patterson. Koko probably doesn't mind that. If she moved to Hawaii, she'd have to give up her Facebook page and Twitter feed, and she's got like 50 thousand "likes." Some may deny that she knows sign language, but nobody says that she doesn't know social networking.

VII. Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the option A, B or C.
How to train your dog to play basketball
Start by getting your dog to fetch a ball and bring it to you. If your dog can’t do that, you should stop now. Your dog will probably not make a great basketball player.
Instead of taking the ball directly from the dog, hold a box or container at ground level and make the dog drop the ball into the box. Give the dog a treat every time she correctly drops the ball in the container.
All good dog tricks should be learned in small steps. Every time the dog brings the ball back to you, raise the box up off the ground just a little bit more. Soon the dog will have to stand on her hind legs to reach it. Don’t forget to reward the dog every time. Once the dog has learned to drop the ball in the container, try using a basketball hoop instead of a box. To begin with, keep the hoop low to the ground. Then gradually raise the height. Reward the dog with a treat each time she gets a basket. Pretty soon your dog will start jumping to reach the hoop and a basketball star will be born!
1. What is the first step in training your dog to play basketball?
A. Teach the dog to jump
B. teach the dog to bring a ball to you
C. Teach the dog to stand on her legs
2. What do you do whenever the dog do correctly what you tell her?
A. Give her a treat
B. Reward her with a treat
C. A and B are correct.
3. When the dog can drop the ball in the container, what do you do next?
A. Hold a box or container at ground level
B. Raise the box up off the ground instead a box.
C. Try using a basketball hoop instead of a box.
4. To be a good dog trainer, what should you do?
A. Speak to the dog loudly
B. Teach the dog when she is young
C. Do it in small steps and usually reward the dog
5. How do you get the dog to jump up to the basketball bet?
