Great White Sharks-
Recent studies say that sharks may swim close to humans but not because they want to eat they, its because their prey is near the humans. Scientists figured this out by attaching trackers on them. They did this by luring in the shark with a fake seal and then shooting it with a two darts, one dart to tell the scientists the approximate location and the other to tell the exact location to pick up sound waves when the shark is near by. This has been a very long process, between 200-2008, and the scientists concluded that they myth of the man-eating shark is untrue. My question is, what is the name of the place where a great number of sharks gather?
A) Great White Shark Cafe
B) Shark Cafe
C) White Shark Cafe
Honey Bee Mystery-
A strange occurrence has been happening through out America having to do with the honey bees. The bees have been dying when they leave their hives. Many would think that this is no big deal but for business who grow fruits it is a very big deal. Because, if we didn't have bees to pollinate out fruits then they wouldn't be edible to people, and that would be a problem when you have to sell the fruits. Scientists are still trying to figure out what is happening to the bees but until now its a mystery. My question is, how long do the bees pollinate in the almond fields?
A) 4 weeks
B) 7 weeks
C) 6 weeks

Current Events (sesame street and dinosaurs)
Sesame Street Turns 40
Sesame Street first aired on television on November 10, 1969. It was the first television show that used the show as a teaching tool for children to learn basics like reading, writing, and counting. In the beginning the creators were considering calling the show 123 Avenue B. But, the main genius here was Jim Henson, because he was the one who created and came up with the characters still used today like Elmo, cooking monster, grouchy, and Big Bird. My question is, in total how many episodes were created?
A) 4,976
B) 4, 357
C) 4,187
Dinosaurs in the News
Dinosaurs used to be a much unknown creature but now that it is being studied they are more known. Recently dinosaurs have been in the news because of a discovery a scientist named Jack Horner founded. The discovery was based on three dinosaurs, but maybe it wasn’t quite three. Jack found that the dinosaurs are all the same dinosaur’s just different ages. For example: the smallest dinosaur had a small snout and had many tunnels in its skull because the younger dinosaurs need more blood to flow. While the oldest dinosaur had a big head and its skull had few tiny tunnels explaining that it was old because it doesn’t need as much blood to flow. My question is, when was the first dinosaur skull found out of the three I explained?
A) 1936
B) 1931
C) 1938
