I HAVE 5 MINUTES
The Fence

I sat in the truck and looked out over the dashboard at my dad. The lights from the truck's headlights lit up the night and I could see my dad as he knelt in the snow to inspect the mangled fence. I watched quietly as he looked at the damage. Muddy tire tracks led from the road to the damaged fence. Broken wood and wire were everywhere. Broken glass lay beside a fence post. It looked bad.

My dad struggled to straighten the wire. He was having a very hard time. The fence needed a lot of work. Dad stood up, brushed the snow from his pants and walked back to the truck. A gust of wind entered the truck as he climbed in.

"Can you fix the fence?" I asked my dad as he settled in the truck.

"I think so," he said. "But it's too dark to fix now and I need my tools and more wood." I thought he might tell me more.

"It will be a big job. It isn't right that you have to fix it all by yourself when some one else crashed through it and ruined it," I said.

My dad looked at me and smiled. "I think someone will come forward and admit to hitting the fence," he said.

When we arrived at home, dad made me hot chocolate. I sat at the table in the kitchen and sipped my drink slowly as I listened to the wind howling outside.

Thirty minutes later, as we cleaned up our hot chocolate, light shown across our lawn and into our kitchen. Dad and I looked outside to see who was there. As I looked outside, I noticed the car in the driveway only had one headlight. The car stopped and the driver walked through the snow, towards our front door.

"Are you Mr. Smith?" the stranger asked when dad opened the door.

"Yes," Dad answered. "How can I help you?"

"Well, sir, my name is Tom Jones. I want to apologize for running into your fence this morning." Mr. Jones went on the explain he had been driving home from work and hit an icy patch and slid off of the road. He apologized again and promised he would help my dad fix the fence. He wrote down his name, address, and phone number on a piece of paper. He gave the paper to my dad. He shook my dad's hand and left.

Dad smiled as he closed the door. Dad could see I was surprised that someone had come to tell the truth. "Dad, how did you know someone would come and tell you about the fence?" I asked.

Dad said, "Well, I know I would have done the right thing, and I know you would have done the right thing. I think that most people have good hearts. I had faith this person would do the right thing too."

STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerpt

THE MATCH

There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.

Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

What was the main problem with relying on nature to start a flame? (5 points)

Fire could only be collected with "sticks of wood" that were hard to find.
Fire had to be "carefully guarded," requiring someone to stay behind from hunting.
Fire had to be "carried to the home," which could be dangerous and awkward.
Fire was likely hard to find, requiring a "long journey and a deal of trouble."

Answers

When Bruno finds that it is unfair that Shmuel has many friends and he has none, it shows how uninformed and clueless Bruno is about everything going on around him such as his fathers job and the camps the jews have been forced into. This statement is in conflict with the actual situation Shmuel is in because while there may be other kids in the camp that he could consider as his “friends,” he doesn’t get to build actual connections with others because the point of the camp is to basically put Jews to work and torture them. Where Bruno on the other hand thinks he gets to play with a bunch of other kids all day and have fun.

Passage 2: "Columbus"
Behind him lay the gray Azores,


Behind the Gates of Hercules;


Before him not the ghost of shores;


Before him only shoreless seas.


5 The good mate said: "Now must we pray,


For lo! the very stars are gone.


Brave Adm'r'l, speak; what shall I say?"


"Why, say, 'Sail on! sail on! and on!'" "My men grow mutinous day by day;


10 My men grow ghastly, wan and weak."


The stout mate thought of home; a spray


Of salt wave washed his swarthy cheek.


"What shall I say, brave Adm'r'l, say,


If we sight naught but seas at dawn?"


15 "Why, you shall say at break of day:


'Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!'"


They sailed and sailed, as winds might blow,


Until at last the blanched mate said:


"Why, now not even God would know


20 Should I and all my men fall dead.


These very winds forget their way,


For God from these dread seas is gone.

Now speak, brave Adm'r'l, speak and say"-


He said: "Sail on! sail on! and on!"

25 They sailed. They sailed. Then spake the mate:


"This mad sea shows his teeth to-night.


He curls his lip, he lies in wait,


He lifts his teeth, as if to bite!


Brave Adm'r'l, say but one good word:


30 What shall we do when hope is gone?"


The words leapt like a leaping sword:


"Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!"


Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck,


And peered through darkness. Ah, that night


35 Of all dark nights! And then a speck-

A light! A light! At last a light!


It grew, a starlit flag unfurled!


It grew to be Time's burst of dawn.


He gained a world; he gave that world

Passage 1: Excerpt from Will Yellow School Buses Soon Become Rolling Ads?
1 Tight school budgets could soon translate into Missouri school districts’ selling ad space on yellow school buses.



2 Missouri state Rep. T.J. Berry, R-Kearney, says his bill—HB 224—isn’t a cure-all by any stretch. But legalizing ads inside and outside the buses would give school districts one additional way to raise money in these tough times.



3 “Every single school district has had to deal with budget concerns,” Berry said last week. “And generally speaking, the way they have had to deal with those has been cuts or tax increases.”



4 The school bus is something that is already out there and paid for, he said. His bill would permit districts to generate a modest stream of income from their buses.



5 Few question the need for finding additional funds when it comes to educating children, but at least two groups think the school bus exteriors should remain ad-free.



6 “There is no such thing as free money,” said Josh Golin, associate director for the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood. “There are real costs to this: the price of selling out your students to advertisers.”



7 Students don’t need the first and last message they receive from their schools each day to be advertisements, Golin said. Students boarding a bus are certainly a captive audience.



8 The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services opposes advertising on safety grounds. Obscuring the recognizable school-bus yellow exterior with ads and distracting other drivers “present a safety problem around school buses that cannot be ignored,” the group said in its position paper.



9 National studies have shown that anything that diverts a driver’s attention from the road can pose a hazard, opponents say.



10 “And a big yellow bus doesn’t distract?” Berry asked.



11 Several years ago in Indiana, a Department of Education lawyer suggested that allowing advertisements on buses would invite First Amendment challenges by spurned advertisers, the group noted.



12 Berry said the bill would limit the types of advertising that would be allowed.



13 The regulations would prohibit ads that contain obscene or sexual material, or messages associated with gambling, tobacco products, alcohol, and political campaigns or causes. The ads could not promote drug use or “any illegal activity or antisocial behavior.” They can’t contain “harmful, discriminatory, false, misleading or deceptive” messages.



14 “There are a lot of safeguards being built in,” he said.



15 Berry emphasized that the space reserved for the ads would be “very limited,” meaning toward the back of the bus.



16 By 2012, nine states—Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas and Utah—permitted advertising on the exterior of school buses, according to the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood. Several, including Missouri, considered it last year.



17 The bill made it out of the Missouri House last year but did not clear the Senate, Berry said. He acknowledged that the idea was “very controversial.”

(questions)

In Passage 1, how does the author represent the various points of view on the issue of advertisements on school buses?


A)by providing quotes from people on both sides of the issue


B)by describing the financial benefits for both sides of the issue


C)by sharing anecdotes from politicians on both sides of the issue

(this is the bolded paragraph)There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one.

Which line from the bolded paragraph shows the value of the match?
…but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire
…it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily
There never was a time when the world was without fire
In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match

Answers

Answer:

1. The purpose of the line "In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match..." is to imply the main idea of the article. The statement that we can easily kindle fire today implies that there was a time when it wasn't so easy. That is why people had to figure out a way to kindle a fire without looking for a natural source. All of this supports the article's main idea, that match was a brilliant invention, which we shouldn't take for granted.

2. This line shows the need for matches. People had troubles with finding the fire, but it got even harder because any fire can easily get extinguished. This proves there was an urgent need to find a way to kindle fire without having to resort to nature at all times. The line doesn't show how dependable nature is - on the contrary, it shows that humans had to find a way to not depend on it. It doesn't show how people got the fire, or how long it took to make matches.

3. The correct answer is thesaurus. It is not an encyclopedia or an ordinary dictionary, but a dictionary of synonyms, that is words with similar meanings. It also contains antonyms (words with opposite meanings) and words with related meanings. When we don't know what a word means, we use a dictionary or an encyclopedia (or Wikipedia, for that matter). However, when we know its meaning, but are looking for a more appropriate word, we use a thesaurus.

Answer:

Studies show that 100 wpm is the minimal reading rate for proper comprehension.

The average reading rate is 200 wpm. He needs to slow his rate down in order to completely understand what he is reading

Explanation:

Studies show that 100 words per minute is the minimal reading rate for proper comprehension. Thus, 100 words per minute should be the  appropriate reading rate for Sebastian.

What is reading rate?

Reading speed is defined as the number of words read correctly per minute. Reading rate is another term for reading speed. It is part of a larger skill known as reading fluency. This is the ability to read accurately, at a good pace, and with the appropriate expression or intonation.

Aim for a rate of between 250 and 350 words per minute. In comparison, the average college student reads only 230-250 words per minute. To find the reading rate - choose an article and read it for 30 seconds. Then come to a halt and count the number of words read, then double that number.

Therefore, the average reading rate is 200 words per minute but Sebastian needs to read slowly  in order to completely understand what he is reading.

These ‘lost boys’ of the Sudan trekked enormous distances over a vast unforgiving wilderness, seeking refuge from the fighting. Hungry, frightened and weakened by sleeplessness and disease, they crossed from the Sudan into Ethiopia and back, with many dying along the way. The survivors are now in camps in Kenya, the Sudan and Uganda

Question 1: What's the main idea,detail 1 and detail 2?

TEXT 2:This extraordinary exodus has its origins in traditional forms of migration. After being initiated into manhood, young adolescent boys in southern Sudan have generally been quite mobile. Organized into small groups of their peers, they would leave home for a period to look after cattle. Or they might head for the towns or cities to go to school or to seek their fortune, before eventually returning home. In addition, at times of stress families all over Africa send their children elsewhere to find safety, food, work and schooling.

Question 2: What's the main idea,detail 1 and detail 2?

TEXT 3:But during the war this process has escalated dramatically. Fearing they would be targeted as potential combatants, many boys left their villages and headed for cities such as Juba and Khartoum. Here they hoped to find work or schooling, though as these cities became saturated with migrants, the boys often had to resort to begging or petty crime.


Question 3: What's the main idea ONLY???

TEXT 4:.Others set out for refugee camps in Ethiopia. Some travelled with friends or relatives, others slipped away on their own at night. Few had any idea of what lay ahead of them. They believed the trek would last only a few days and discovered that they faced a harrowing journey of 6 to 10 weeks. Continually under threat, they would flee for their lives, losing their way in the wilderness. Often they lost everything en route—blankets, sheets, shoes, clothes and pots—to soldiers, swindlers or bandits. Many fell victim to killer diseases. Others were so weakened by hunger and lack of sleep that they could go no further and sat down by the roadside—prey for lions and other animals.

Question 4:What are the Hopes/Expectations and Realities


LAST QUESTION:Take a moment to jot down the central idea. So far, the author shows...

Do you think any of the color mutations in the beetles helped them survive in the environment? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer: When changes happen in an environment. Many things can and will happen. If there was a gene mutation for the color of beetles, then that would affect their survival because the old color could have helped them hide and be camoflauge. (however you spell it) If that is changed it could make them more out in the open, so predators could get them easier. Which would result in less beetles and more predators.
