[9-11] Read the following passage and choose the best answers.
Having two eyes helps you judge distances, too. Let’s try an experiment. First get two
pencils. Hold one pencil sideways in each hand. Then, close one eye and try to touch the
pencils’ erasers together. Can you do it? Try it again with both your eyes open. It is much
easier to do now!
We also have two eyes to protect our vision. Each eye works as a backup for the other
one. Sometimes an accident or a disease causes people to lose sight in one eye. But thanks to
the other eye, a person does not become totally blind. So having two eyes can help save
people’s vision, too.

Frank asked Eustis to train a dog to help him. She agreed. In 1928, Frank traveled to
Switzerland to meet his new dog. Frank named her Buddy. After a few weeks of training,
Frank took Buddy home. Buddy became the first Seeing Eye dog in North America.
Buddy changed Frank’s life. With Buddy’s help, Frank could safely walk across busy
streets and through crowded buildings. Frank and Buddy taught people that Seeing Eye dogs
can give blind people more freedom. Soon after, Eustis came to the United States. She and
Frank started a school to train dogs called The Seeing Eye. The school has now trained over
15,500 dogs. Frank and Buddy’s hard work has helped many blind people.

Emperor penguins are the biggest penguins in the world. They live in Antarctica.
Antarctica is very cold in winter. The temperature there once dropped to minus 89 degrees
Celsius! Emperor penguins have their babies during the frosty winter months. To have a baby
