Article: Camilla Broomstick, a missing Camden -area woman, was reported found inside her damaged Chevrolet Malibu Sunday afternoon in a County near Camden New Jersey, at the bottom of an embankment  off a highway, according to authorities. Her car, turned upside down, was spotted by a passer-by who had stopped to view scenery and noticed something shining and what looked like a body, authorities said. When emergency responders arrived, they found Broomstick alive inside her severely damaged car. The vehicle rested upside down after flying 120 feet off the highway and rolling an additional 200 feet into an aspen woods. "The crash alone would have killed her," New Jersey State Trooper Dean Enoch said. "It's surprising that she survived the crash at all, and then to be down there for that amount of days without food or water." Earlier Monday, the family released a statement at the hospital thanking emergency responders who rushed Broomstick to the hospital and to the man who found her and notified authorities. "We sincerely appreciate all the thoughts, prayers and kind gestures from the community during such a hard time for our family," the statement read. "While we're hopeful of her prognosis , Camilla was seriously injured and with multiple internal and external injuries. Later this afternoon Camilla will be undergoing surgery here to amputate  both of her feet. Doctors were not able to save her feet due to the serious injuries. Camilla is in critical but stable condition at this time and has a very long road ahead." In the statement, family members mentioned reports that Broomstick wrote a request for help on an umbrella she pushed out the car window. "We cannot comment on that right now because we have not seen the umbrella," the statement said. Family members also asked that the public respect their privacy. Question: Who found the severely damaged car? - The authorities. - A passer-by. - Emergency responders. - Her families.

Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Sea lions and seals may swim in cold ocean water, but even they get sometimes. Seeing an injured seal wrapped in a blanket at a marine  mammal center gave Haley Humes and Hayley Jeffries an idea for a special Girl Scout project. They decided to make blankets to keep injured animals warm. They would give these blankets to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach, California. "We knew we wanted to help animals," Haley said. "We went to the center to ask questions about what they needed. They don't have a heated floor, and all the babies crowded together to stay warm." Friends since kindergarten, Haley and Hayley made 12 blankets to keep the Marine Mammal Center's seals and sea lions warm. Using fun images like Winnie-the-Pooh, the girls took two hours to make each blanket. The first sea lion to test out a blanket looked pretty in pink. "It was a sick baby and really liked it," Haley said. "It curled up in it right away." "The blankets are beautiful and the animals love them!" said the Mammal Center's Michele Hunter. "It's nice to see children taking pride in their work and doing something to help animals." During the project, the girls took dozens of pictures for the PowerPoint presentations they gave to Girl Scout leaders. Those presentations helped Haley and Hayley raise $250 to buy additional supplies the center needed. This was the first project the girls ever worked on and took months to plan and carry out. "I learned that in order to make something happen, you have to take it slowly and step by step," Hayley said. Just as important, the girls discovered that two people really can make a difference. "Knowing you're making a difference......with these animals is amazing," Haley said. "It was like the animals became my new friends." The Pacific Marine Mammal Center cares for sea lions and seals, as well as for other marine mammals. Since opening in 1971,the center has saved more than 5,000 injured marine mammals. Question: According to the text, the Mammal Center   _   . - has a history of about 40 years - has an advanced heating system - has saved ten thousand animals so far - protects both land and marine mammals

Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Chaplin was one of the famous clown-style actors of the silent time. It was through Charlie Chaplin that the Hollywood comedy movies became famous. Then in the 1920s came another trend of animated cartoons. They were the most popular Hollywood comedy movies of the time. The several popular characters of that era were Felix the cat, Krazy Kat and Betty Boop. However, the popularity of these movies was blocked out due to lack of sound and color. The end of 1920s, the Hollywood comedy industry marked a change brought about by the introduction of sound into the movies. This has allowed the industry to create dramatic new film styles and use verbal humor. These films were soon replacing silent movies. These films used dialogue of comedians such as the W.C Fields and the Marx Brothers. Charlie Chaplin was the last comedian to have acted in the silent films. When the United States entered into World War II, Hollywood movies changed its course to themes related to the conflicts, and Hollywood comedy movies described more on military themes.

Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: "I'd like to be at a healthier weight," a friend told me. "But we just don't have the money to buy expensive diet foods and there isn't enough money to join a gym." Many people feel that way -- that a healthy diet and exercise plan is out of reach because of their high cost. Don't lose hope! We'll be looking at ways to make healthy choices without spending too much money.  First you don't need to buy the expensive pre-prepared "diet foods." Back in the early 1970s when I started housekeeping, 90% of the food I bought was ingredients. Very few things were preprocessed  . Now 90% of the food you find in the store is quick food. That's a bad thing.  Quick foods like boxed "just add hamburger" meals have had the fiber   removed to make them faster to prepare. Take a look at the label   on that box. It often has low numbers listed under "fiber" because fiber takes longer to digest. If the low fiber meal is digested, the result is that your body begins to store fat. Besides, your body is short of nutrients  . You will be driven to eat more to try to make up for the low quality of the food you are eating. And then there are the chemicals the producers add to the quick meals to make them palatable. If not, the stuff would taste like cardboard and you wouldn't enjoy it. However, these chemicals certainly aren't good for your health.  What's the answer? Buy whole ingredients and give up the expensive, low nutrition, processed foods. Do the cooking yourself and you will have control over what is in your food -- and it will cost less, too. Question: The author doesn't like quick food mainly because   _  . - it contains too much fat - it makes people eat more - it has low fiber - it takes longer to digest
