That’s what you ought to do. Bean animal doctor. Give the silly people up—if they haven’t brains enough to see you’re the best doctor in the world. Take care of animals instead—THEY’ll soon find it out. Be an animal doctor.”  \n3 “Oh, there are plenty of animal doctors,” said John Dolittle, putting the flower pots outside on the window sill to get the rain.  \n4 “Yes, there ARE plenty,” said Polynesia.“But none of them are any good at all. Now listen, Doctor, and I’ll tell you something. Did you know that animals can talk?”  \n5 “I knew that parrots can talk,” said the Doctor.  \n6 “Oh, we parrots can talk in two languages—people’s language and bird language,” said Polynesia proudly.“If I say,‘Polly wants a cracker,’ you understand me. But hear this: Kaka oi ee, fee fee?”  \n7 “Good Gracious!” cried the Doctor.“What does that mean?”  \n8 “That means,‘Is the porridge hot yet?’—in bird language.”  \n9 “My! You don’t say so!” said the Doctor.“You never talked that way to me before.”  \n10 “What would have been the good?” said Polynesia, dusting some cracker crumbs off her left wing.“You wouldn’t have understood me if I had.”  \n11 “Tell me some more,” said the Doctor, all excited; and he rushed over to the dresser drawer and came back with the  \nMississippi Academic Assessment Program—Practice Test 3  \nSession 1  \nbutcher’s book and a pencil.“Now don’t go too fast—and I’ll write it down. This is interesting—very interesting—something quite new. Give me the Birds’ A.B.C. first—slowly now.”  \n12 So that was the way the Doctor came to know that animals had a language of their own and could talk to one another. And all that afternoon, while it was raining, Polynesia sat on the kitchen table giving him bird words to put down in the book.  \n13 At tea time, when the dog, Jip, came in, the parrot said to the Doctor,“See, HE’S talking to you .”  \n14 “Looks to me as though he were scratching his ear,” said the Doctor.  \n15 “But animals don’t always speak with their mouths,” said the parrot in a high voice, raising her eyebrows.“They talk with their ears, with their feet, with their tails—with everything. Sometimes they don’t WANT to make a noise. Do you see now the way he’s twitching up one side of his nose?”  \n16 “What’s that mean?” asked the Doctor.  \n17 “That means, ‘Can’t you see that it has stopped raining?’”Polynesia answered.“He is asking you a question. Dogs nearly always use their noses for asking questions.”  \n18 After a while, with the parrot’s help, the Doctor got to learn the language of the animals so well that he could talk to them himself and understand everything they said. Then he gave up being a people’s doctor altogether. . . .  \n19 One day a plow horse was brought to him; and the poor thing was terribly glad to find a man who could talk in horse language.  \n20 “You know, Doctor,” said the horse,“that vet over the hill knows nothing at all. He has been treating me six weeks now  \n—for spavins. What I need is SPECTACLES. I am going blind in one eye. There’s no reason why horses shouldn’t wear glasses, the same as people. But that stupid man over the hill never even looked at my eyes. He kept on giving me big pills.  \nI tried to tell him; but he couldn’t understand a word of horse language. What I need is spectacles.”  \n4 Mississippi Academic Assessment Program—Practice Test  \nSession 1  \n21 “Of course—of course,” said the Doctor.“I’ll get you some at once.”  \n22 “I would like a pair like yours,” said the horse—“only green. They’ll keep the sun out of my eyes while I’m plowing the Fifty Acre Field.” . . .  \n23 Then John Dolittle got a fine, big pair of green s","cbCaibxA2SDbZxz4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibxA2SDbZxz4","pdf",1202486,46,"English","# Reading Passage and Questions\n## Excerpt: The Story of Doctor Dolittle\n## Question Set (Session 1)","[{\"question\":\"What reading passage is included in this Grade 3 ELA practice test session?\",\"answer\":\"The session includes an excerpt from The Story of Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting, originally published in 1920.\"},{\"question\":\"How do students answer the questions in Session 1?\",\"answer\":\"Students read the passage and select quotations that match each question’s idea, with answers tied to specific paragraphs.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Question 1 ask students to identify?\",\"answer\":\"Question 1 asks which quotation supports the idea that Doctor Dolittle is very interested in what the parrot is telling him.\"}]","Grade 3 English Language Arts Practice Test - Session 1 | PDF",116]
