IV. READING
Read the passage and decide whether the sentences are True (T) of False (F).
ENDANGERED SPECIES
Today, some type of animals are an endangered species. This means there are very few animals of that
kind left on Earth. The animals could face extinction. Extinction is when all the animals of that kind die. When
a type of animal is extinct, it is gone forever.
One problem for animals is that their habitat is sometimes destroyed by humans. As human populations
increase, more and more space is needed for people. Building areas for people to live pushed animals out of
their natural homes. Forest and swamp habitats are the most threatened. Trees are cut down to make room for
homes and businesses. Swamps are filled in so that neighborhoods can expand.
The habitat is destroyed. The animals have nowhere else to go. Without a habitat, the number of animals
begins to go down.

AN INDEPENDENT NATION
Before the United States was a country, it was a group of English colonies. Until 1763, England didn't
really bother the American colonists. The people handled their business the way they wanted.
However, England had a lot of war debts to pay. Some of the money was owed because England had
defended the colonies in the French and Indian War. Citizens who were living in England wanted taxes to be
lowered. The king decided to take more control over the colonies to get the money to pay off the debts. He
started a new tax for the colonies.
After being left to make their own decisions for so long, some of the colonists did not want to give up
control. They did not want to pay high taxes. They did not want to follow rules that didn't make sense to them.
