Read the passage and answer the questions.
[1] We tend to think of plants as the furniture of the natural world. Grass doesn’t cry when you cut it, and flowers don’t scream when they’re picked. But as is often the case, our human view of the world misses quite a lot. Plants talk to each other all the time. And the language is chemical.
[2] Over the years, scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, release compounds into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings all have the same purpose — to spread information about one plant’s disease so that other plants can defend themselves.
[3] Recently researchers in Japan looked at tomato plants *infested by the *cutworm caterpillar. To start out, they grew two groups of the plants in two plastic boxes connected by a tube. One group was infested and placed upwind and the other group was uninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were later *exposed to the cutworm caterpillar. The results showed that the plants that had been near the sick neighbors were able to defend themselves better against the caterpillar.
[4] It is a complex tale, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. For now though, we know that plants not only communicate, they look out for one another.
infest : to cause a problem by being present in large numbers

Read the passage and answer the questions.
[1] When Rebecca Spaide started planning her ninth birthday party, her mother, Deborah Spaide, gave her an unusual idea. She suggested that guests bring presents for people who lived in a local homeless shelter, instead of buying gifts for Rebecca. Rebecca agreed. When 16 friends arrived for her party, they brought all kinds of things, including food, towels and blankets. The next day, Deborah drove Rebecca and her friends to the shelter to deliver her birthday presents. “It felt good,” Rebecca said. “I’m giving something to them instead of to me, because I have so much and they have so little.”
[2] Rebecca’s feelings are not unusual. Volunteerism is growing across the United States today. In fact, in some cases entire families are volunteering together. Parents are finding that they can teach their children about community responsibility by including them in their volunteer efforts.
[3] Deborah explained that charity would help children and teenagers learn about cooperation and gain problem-solving abilities. She said that it would give children chances to learn that one of the best things you can do for yourself is to do something for others.
