1.Q1. Read the passage and answer the questions

Next time you see a pigeon flying across the sky  , look  at it  carefully ! Is it holding a can ?or a camera? Or wearing a backpack? If it is a carrier pigeon ,it might be a working bird. You’ve probably heard of working dogs that  help police officers, or horses that help farmers. Did you know that carrier pigeons can be trained to help people too? What kind of jobs do these birds perform ?

Carrier pigeons can be trained to carry messages to people. The note is placed into a small skinny can. The can is tied to the pigeon’s leg. Then the pigeon flies off to deliver the note. Carrier pigeons are good messengers because they’re fast can fly long distances. They also have a  good sense  of direction. They can even reach places that people can’t  .More than 800 years ago, Genghis Khan, an Asian ruler  set up pigeon post offices across his lands! As recently as 2010, cuba used pigeons to send election results to its mountain people.

    From high up in the sky, specially trained pigeons can spot orange life  jackets in the ocean. Sometimes, it is difficult for humans to spot people lost at sea, especially when the weather is bad. However, pigeons can fly quickly over a large area of water in search of people.

  Many years ago, carrier pigeons were used to help during wars. “Spy pigeons”had small cameras that were tied to their feet . As a pigeon flew over the enemy land, the camera snapped photos of the land below.This would allow our military to see where the enemies were and what they were doing. The pigeons have probably saved many soldiers’ lives.These “spy”birdshad a dangerous job. They had to dodge bullets , poisonous gas, and bullies like hawks. During world wars 1 and 2, the USA and its allies even had huge pigeon armies. Thousands of pigeons served! They were like flying soldiers. A few even received medals for their brave work.
