Form 1 Test materials as seen by respondents

Experiment 6 reading materials
The beaver is an excellent swimmer. It can achieve a speed of up to seven miles per hour in water. Its
protection against the cold consists of a skin with thousands of single hairs and a thick layer of fat. With
its big lungs it can easily stay under water for more than twenty minutes. The beaver is not only skilful in
felling trees, but also an experienced craftsman in building dams. When the beaver fells a tree, it gnaws
on the trunk in such a way that the upper and the lower part of the trunk are only connected with each
other at a small point. When the connection is narrow and the beaver has become tired, the wind will
do the rest. The twigs and thin branches are cut off by the beaver and piled up near its den, which is
built on a small island. The thick branches are sorted out and used as wood for building dams.
