Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
One day I decided to plant a garden in our backyard, and my husband began to paint our old fence. We’re renters, not owners, and were growing tired of waiting for the day when we would be able to buy something, so we began turning our house into a place we could call home. But it’s not just our house that we’ve be en devoted to; it’s our neighborhood and our neighbors. The more people we get to know here and the more friends we make, the more we come to care about what happens to our community.
We’ve also taken on new responsibilities: We start volunteering for a nonprofit art gallery. Being involved in this way has strengthened our ties to the place we live. I’m happy to be able to help out an elderly woman I see struggling with her bag. I feel I’ve done my part when I find a lost dog wandering in the neighborhood and return him to his relieved owner.
No doubt it works the other way, too. As we come to care about the place we live, the people here grow to know and care about us. It feels good to know that when we’re out of town, our neighbors are picking up our mail and keeping an eye on our house for us. This symbiotic relationship we’re building with our community is exciting and inspiring.

Questions 14 through 16 are base d on the following news.
So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species, and that’s just a small number of what probably exists on earth. With so many plants, animals, and other living things covering the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of bird just flew by.
A new website might help. An international team of researchers has announced the creation of Web-based Encyclopedia of Life (EOL). The project aims to list every species on Earth in a single, easy-to-use reference guide.
To get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific databases that already exist. And eventually in special sections of the site, non-scientists with specialized knowledge will come to help. Bird-watchers, for example, will be able to input what birds they’ve seen and where. To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate, scientists will review much of the information added to it.
As the EOL develops, you might find it useful for school projects. The site will feature special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems in their neighborhoods. Another convenient feature of the EOL is that you’ll be able to pick the level of detail you want to see to match your interests, age, and knowledge.
It now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species. The creators of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new tool will speed up that process.
