READING COMPREHENSION!
Question 1: Read the following paragraph, then answer the following questions.

Food Sniffer Dogs

Jacques is one member of the Beagle Brigade, a group of beagles that work at international airports
in the United States. Their job is to smell and find illegal fruits, vegetables and other foods in
luggage and mail. These foods sometimes bring insects and diseases which could be dangerous for
plants and animals. The beagle calmly sits down next to anything that smells suspicious. The dog's
human partner then checks for illegal foods. Why beagles? They're friendly and cute, so they don't
scare people as they sniff through the crowds. More importantly, beagles have an astonishing nose
for food. The Beagle Brigade can find food in luggage and packages 84% of the time!
