The reason this particular protest is still remembered and famous is because of the unfortunate result of the demonstrations.On April 30, 1970, US President Richard Nixon announced an escalation of the war in Vietnam with a military invasion of Cambodia, which neighbors Vietnam. At that time, the war was extremely unpopular with the public and many people were frustrated and angered by this new developmentespecially students. Many people had been encouraged by Nixons promise two years earlier to end the war, but, in 1970, there was still no end in sight.On May 1, students at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio protested against the American invasion of Cambodia and were calling for an end to the war. The campus protest was peaceful, but emotions grew throughout the day, and riots soon erupted in the towns streets that night. In response, the governor sent National Guard troops to the Kent State University campus to stop the riots and protests.Small protests continued over the next two days, and then, on the morning of May 4, approximately 2,000 students gathered in the center of campus to protest both the war and the presence of soldiers at their school. The soldiers ordered the students to disperse and return to their dorms. When they refused, the soldiers began firing tear gas into the crowd.During the morning, the situation escalated, along with tensions, emotions, and anger. Shortly after noon, the National Guard soldiers opened fire on the students. The cause of this action remains unclear to this day. However, at the end of the day, four students were killed and nine others were wounded. Some of those students were not even involved in the protest. They were just walking by or watching the protest from a distance. 41. What were the students at Kent State University protesting? A. The American invasion of Vietnam. B.

It was generally assumed that animals could simply not feel emotions such as happiness, sadness, jealousy, anger, or grief. It wasnt that the intensity of these emotions was more limited than in humans; the general consensus was that such emotions were literally absent in all other animals.However, such thinking has recently been called into question as more and more researchers are uncovering evidence that suggests animals do indeed feel emotions. In some cases, these emotions are very obvious! Dog owners have known this for a long time. If a dog does something bad and is reprimanded by its owner, it will often hang its head low and exhibit puppy-dog eyes. The dog knows it has been naughty and this is, in effect, its exhibition of sadness and sorrow.Another relatively clear example of animals emotional behaviour is when they show aggression. In some cases, it doesnt take very much for animals to become irritated and angry. Dogs, wolves, lions, tigers, birdsnearly every animal has been observed in an agitated state and acting out against the cause of its frustration. In fact, animal researchers have even witnessed animals in the wild waging war and exacting revenge.Biologists have reported on countless other examples of animals emotional behaviour. For example, some animals grieve over deceased family members, some dream and have nightmares, some display pride in the work demanded of them, some exhibit friendship and cooperation, and many show love. Examples of compassion and self-indulged enjoyment are also not uncommon.Based on the biological and scientific evidence, it seems beyond doubt that animals are capable of feeling and showing a wide range of emotions. Human do not have a monopoly on such feelings, and its time for more people to understand that were all part of one big emotional family. 41. According to the article, which of the following was a general assumption made throughout much of history? A. People feel a wide range of emotions. B. Animals feel a wide range of emotions. C. People feel a limited range of emotions. D. Animals are incapable of feeling emotions. 42. This style of writing would best be described as _. A. expository B. argumentative C. narrative D. descriptive 43. Which of the following would make the best title for this article? A. The Limited Emotional Lives of Animals B. A Monopoly on Emotional Behavior C. Emotions are Universal D. Animals are People Too 44. What is meant by puppy-dog eyes (Para 2)? A. Eyes that are full of emotion. B. Eyes that show no emotion. C. Eyes that belong to a puppy. D. Eyes that look like a puppys. 45. Which of the following does the author NOT present in order to support the topic? A. Popu
