The dogsled race was about to begin. Julie’s team of dogs was lined up at the starting gate. Julie stood behind them. The air was so cold that she could see her breath. Other teams were lined up, too, and the dogs were excited. Julie kept her eyes on the clock. At exactly ten o’clock, she and the other racers yelled, “Mush!” The dogs knew that meant “Go!” They leapt forward and the race began! Julie had trained months for this race, and she hoped she and her dogs would win. Hour after hour, day after day, Julie’s dogs pulled the sled in order to get in shape for the race. Now, they ran over snowy hills and down into frozen valleys. They stopped only to rest and eat. They wanted to stay ahead of the other teams. The racers had t go a thousand miles across Alaska. Alaska is one of the coldest places on Earth. The dogs’ thick fur coats helped keep them warm in the cold wind and weather. In many places along the route, the snow was deep. Pieces of ice were as sharp as a knife. The ice could cut the dogs’ feet. To keep that from happening, Julie had put special booties on their feet. At first, the dogs seemed to pull the sled very slowly. They were still getting used to the race. But on the third day out, they began to pull more quickly. They worked as a team and passed many of the other racers. Once, one of the sled’s runners slid into a hole and broke. Julie could have given up then, but she didn’t. She fixed it and they kept going. When they finally reached the finish line, they found out that they had come in first place! It was a great day for Julie and her dogs. Why don’t the dogs freeze in the cold weather?

A. Julie puts special booties on their feet B. They sleep by the fire at night C. Their thick fur coats keep them warm D. It doesn’t get very cold in Alaska


The blue whale is the biggest animal that has ever lived. It’s bigger and heavier than the biggest dinosaur ever was. The largest of the dinosaur is thought to have weighed about 50 tons, while the blue whale may weigh over 150 tons, and grow to over 100 feet long! In fact, when a blue whale is born, it is already bigger than an adult elephant. In summer blue whales stay in cold water near the North or South Poles. In winter they move into warmer parts of the ocean. They travel either alone or in small groups of three or four called pods. Blue whales are now protected by law. All the major whaling nations of the world are members of the International Whaling Commission. They have agreed that they will not hunt blue whales. But many scientists believe that there is no way of stopping blue whales from becoming extinct. So it may not be long before the blue whale joins the dinosaur as a museum specimen, with no living specimens left.

They will be extinct B. They will be put in museums C. They will sing D. They will become dangerous for mankind
