Giraffe is the highest animal in the world. Its
height can reach 4.8 to 5.5 meters and its weight about
1360 pounds. Giraffe has a unique characteristic. They
have a very long neck and two small horns on its head.
Giraffes have big brown eyes and protected by thick and
long eyebrows. Her body is covered with a unique
pattern that is attached by brown spots all over their
body.
Just like camels, giraffes can survive without
drinking for long time because giraffes can rely on the
water contained in leaves they eat. Giraffes are very
selective in choosing food. They always eat young leaves
that grow in the tree tops. Their tongue shaped like a
knife help them to cut branches which are very hard.
Female giraffes can start pregnant at the age of
five years, with a gestation period of 15 months.
Commonly female giraffe bear one baby, but sometimes
two babies at once. Giraffes bear its baby with a standing
position. When the baby is about to be born, they just
drop it to the ground from a 1.5 meter of height. Baby
giraffe can stand with about 20 minutes since being born,
and begin breastfeeding within an hour of birth.

Read the following text and answer question 26 to 30.

My Pet
I have a pet. It is a dog and I call it Dolgy. Dolgy is a
Chinese breed. It is small, fluffy, and cute. It has got
thick black fur. When I cuddle it, the fur feels soft.
Dolgy does not like bones. Every day it eats soft food
like steamed rice, fish, or bread. Every morning I give
him milk and bread. When I am at school, Dolgy plays
with my rabbit. They get along well, and never fight
maybe because Dolgy does not bark a lot. It treats the
other animals in our house gently, and it never eats
shoes. Dolgy is really sweet and friendly animal.
