SBD . I Read the following passage and choose the best answer. In the folklore of the Navajo people it was said that frogs and toads fell from the sky when it rained. The phenomenon that gave rise to this belief involved the spadefoot toad which remains dormant beneath the Sonoran Desert of Arizona avoiding the heat and drought for as long as eight or nine months. With the onset of summer thunderstorms however the toads respond to the vibrations of drumming raindrops and emerge as if fallen from the sky with the rain to begin their brief and frantic mating season. The male spadefoot sits in a muddy pool and fills the night with his calls attempting to attract a female of the same species. Once a female joins him she may lay as many as 1 000 eggs in the small pool of lifesustaining rainwater. From that point it s a race against the elements for the young who must hatch and mature with remarkable speed before the pool evaporates beneath the searing desert sun. As the pool grows smaller and smaller it becomes thick with tadpoles fighting for survival in the mud threatened not only by loss of their watery nest but also by devouring insects and animals. In as few as nine days after fertilization of the eggs those lucky enough to survive develop through each tadpole stage and finally emerge as fully formed toads. After gorging themselves on insects the young toads like their parents burrow underground where they will lie dormant awaiting the next summer s storms. Câu 1 What does the passage mainly discuss A.
