Father's Day may be over in the United States, but animal dads are still hard at work. From penguins to catfish  , some animal fathers play a big part in raising their babies.     "Seahorses are possibly the best example of fathers caring for their young in the animal world," said Heather Masonjones, a biologist at the University of Tampa in Florida. Human mothers carry their babies in their bodies for nine months. But seahorses are different. A female seahorse lays eggs and then puts them in a pouch on a male seahorse's belly  , where the eggs stay until they hatch.      Male seahorses aren't the only animal dads caring for eggs. The male hardhead catfish carries up to 48 marble- size eggs in his mouth for 60 days! He doesn't eat for the entire time. "You'd think it would be hard for them to give up a meal," said Ed Matheson, a fish expert at the Florida Marine Research Institute.      Emperor penguins sit on eggs to hatch them during Antarctica's freezing winter. The males have to gather closely together for warmth and can lose half of their weight in the two months that it takes the baby penguins to hatch.      Even mammal   dads play a role in raising their young. The male South American marmoset   takes care of the baby in place of the mother a few weeks after she gives birth.      So next Father's Day, remember the millions of dads hard at work in the animal kingdom! Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this text? A) The female hardhead catfish carries eggs in her mouth for 60 days. B) The male marmoset takes care of the baby as soon as the mother gives birth. C) The eggs stay in a pouch on a male seahorse's belly until they hatch. D) Emperor penguins sit on eggs to keep warm during the freezing winter.

Travel is exciting and summer is a busy period for holiday travel. Many people will travel great distances in airplanes, cars or other vehicles. Experts say people should know about other health problems that can strike when traveling by air. One of these is a condition called hypoxia  . It results from a lack of oxygen to the brain. Experts say the body begins losing oxygen minutes after an airplane leaves the ground. The air pressure in a plane during flight is lower than at sea level. This makes it more difficult for the body to effectively use the same amount of oxygen as it would on the ground. Fewer oxygen molecules   cross the tissues   in the lungs and reach the bloodstream. The result is a five to twenty percent drop in the amount of oxygen in the blood. This reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches the organs of the body. One effect of this lack of oxygen to the brain is a headache. When this happens, the heart attempts to _ by beating harder and faster. This can make the traveler feel tired. These signs of hypoxia are not dangerous in a healthy person. But a drop in oxygen level can cause a health emergency in people with heart or lung problems. They might lose consciousness or even suffer a heart attack. Experts say that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic liquids also reduce the body's ability to use oxygen. So they suggest that people not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes either before or during a flight. They also say persons with heart or lung problems should seek advice from their doctors before flying. According to the passage, what leads to hypoxia? A) The brain lacks enough oxygen. B) The air pressure in a plane is too high C) Our body needs less oxygen during takeoff. D) The bloodstream contains no oxygen molecules.
