Its feathers shine like polished coal, and its eyes seem to say, \"I know exactly what you're up to. \" For hundreds of years, people put crows and ravens into spooky stories and told tales that they carried secrets or bad luck. The truth is even stranger than the stories, because these birds are among the smartest animals on the whole planet.  \nBeing smart means solving problems, and crows are champions at it. Scientists have watched wild crows bend twigs and even shape them into little hooks to fish tasty grubs out of holes in logs. Making a tool like that is something only a few animals on Earth can do, and crows do it without anyone teaching them. Some clever crows have even learned to drop hard nuts onto a road so passing cars crack the shells for them!  \nIf cracking nuts with cars sounds like a good memory, wait until you hear how well these birds remember your face. Researchers in Seattle wore special masks while catching crows, and years later the birds still scolded anyone wearing that same mask. The crows even taught their young to recognize the \"dangerous\" face, so babies that had never been caught knew to sound the alarm. That means a crow you annoy today might remember you long after you've forgotten the whole thing.  \nRemembering faces is impressive, but many people can't even tell a crow and a raven apart. Ravens are the bigger of the two, roughly the size of a red-tailed hawk, while a crow is closer to the size of a pigeon. When they fly overhead, a raven's tail spreads into a pointed, wedge shape, but acrow's tail opens like a straight fan. Listen closely, too, because a crow gives a sharp \"caw-caw\"while a raven makes a deep, croaking sound from down in its throat.  \nThat deep croak has echoed through human stories for a very long time. Both birds belong to a family called corvids, which also includes jays and magpies, and the whole group is known for brainpower. Ravens can live around 10 to 15 years in the wild, and even longer when they are cared for by people. So the next spooky black bird you see may not be a bad omen at all, but one of the cleverest neighbors you'll ever have.  \nCrows and  \nRavens  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the main idea of this passage?\u003Cbr>A.
