Weaver ant nests are most common in the outer, often uppermost, sunlit branches of trees. The site of energy influx and photosynthesis, this shell of greenery is where most biological action in forests takes place and thus where the majority of resources sought by the ants accumulate. There the ants bind adjacent living leaves into a kind of arboreal tent. Ranging from the size of a baseball to the size of a volleyball but weighing not much more than an inflated balloon, the nests look frail, but they shelter the ants from wind, rain, and rivals. Transpiration,superscript,1,baseline, from their leaf walls creates a built-in HVAC,superscript,2,baseline, system, providing relatively stable temperature and humidity.

paragraph 2,To begin building a nest, a worker pulls at the edge of a leaf, and if she's successful in bending it, nearby ants join her. The workers may stand side by side while gripping the leaf margins, but if the leaves are too far apart, they climb on top of one another and, seizing each other by the waist, form leaf-to-leaf chains that are strong enough to drag the foliage together. Within hours, the nearby leaves are drawn tight and aligned in a nest configuration.

paragraph 3,The name ,begin italics,weaver ant,end italics, comes from the next step, which involves a kind of child labor. In many ant species, the larvae spin silk cocoons in which they transform into adults. But a weaver ant larva does not make a cocoon. Instead, it produces silk at a young age, when still small enough to be held and manipulated by an adult worker. After bearing the larva to the construction site, the worker locates a leaf edge through palpations of her antennae, then lowers the larva's head to it. The larva attaches a silk line to the edge, and the worker then shuttles it back and forth between the leaves, like a weaver working a loom, until the foliage is bound by woven sheets. As a finishing touch, the nest is detailed with tidy entries and internal walls and galleries. The nests, I suspect, can last for years: when the leaves wither, workers bind fresh ones into the structure to replace them.

paragraph 4,Weaver ants avoid the inconveniences endured by most ants, which, as central-place foragers, spend considerable time commuting from one central nest. This is evident in driver ant raids, where hundreds of thousands of ants regularly travel dozens of meters or more. Weaver ants minimize the amount of moving around they do by spacing leaf nests throughout their territory, erecting them wherever their workers are needed and foliage is available for construction. This also makes it easy for them to handle unforeseen events quickly: a worker seeking assistance need only communicate with the ant reserves in the nearest nest.

paragraph 5,Inside the tent, among the brood piles, are smaller workers with shorter limbs. In most polymorphic ants,,superscript,3,baseline, the major workers are scarce and specialized, but with ,begin italics,Oecophylla,end italics,,superscript,4,baseline, the opposite is true, with the majors doing the foraging and nest construction, serving as the workaday ants rather than "soldiers," in the sense of a specialized defensive caste. The minors are less numerous and tend the eggs and small larvae. The physical differences between minors and majors are more modest than in the marauder and driver ants, but the two are relatively distinct, with only occasional intermediates. Typically, the queen is in a nest toward the center of the territory near the top of a crown, though she moves from time to time. Her eggs are distributed among the nests by her workers.

paragraph 6,Because weaving a nest requires an assembly of workers and larvae, one wonders how weaver ant colonies get started. What does the first nest look like? Once, in the Australian outback, I peeled apart two small leaves sewn together at chest level to find four queens and forty workers, the latter each the size of a small major worker in a mature colony, cohabiting in a space the size of a change purse. Making such a tiny nest need not be difficult. Before their first workers are old enough to do the job, the neophyte queens are likely to join forces to hold larvae and weave the nest together.

Read the excerpt from the story Time for a Change and examine the illustration.

When lunch was served, Carlos refused to put on any toppings, causing Stacey to gaze at his hot dog in dismay.

"I like predictability," Carlos explained patiently. "I know that I love plain hot dogs, and I don't want to ruin a perfectly good meal by drowning it in toppings that I might loathe."

"You miss out on amazing opportunities if you refuse to have new experiences," Stacey protested. "People say that variety is the spice of life because it makes everything more interesting." (2 points)

a frowning boy stops in the street, with his back to two girls near a hot dog stand

Carlos glared at Stacey, handed back the hot dog, and walked away from her challenge to make a change. Eventually, Carlos's feet slowed, and he considered Stacey's words carefully. Perhaps he had been too careful because he was afraid; maybe he could try something new. Carlos returned to the stand and piled toppings on top of his hot dog. He discovered that he loves pickles, ketchup, and onions.

How does the illustration convey the meaning of the excerpt?
Carlos's frown shows that he is upset by Stacey's challenge.
The two girls show that others are trying lots of toppings.
The hot dog stand shows that plain hot dogs are the best.
Carlos's clothing shows that he lives in New York City.

expression that was wise or soothing or happy. But after counting

July
by Susan Hartley Swett

When the scarlet cardinal tells
Her dream to the dragonfly,
And the lazy breeze makes a nest in the trees,
And murmurs a lullaby,
It's July.

When the tangled cobweb pulls
The cornflower's cap awry,
And the lilies tall lean over the wall
To bow to the butterfly,
It's July.

When the heat like a mist veil floats,
And poppies flame in the rye,
And the silver note in the streamlet's throat
Has softened almost to a sigh,
It's July.

When the hours are so still that time
Forgets them, and lets them lie
Underneath petals pink till the night stars wink
At the sunset in the sky,
It's July.

Which statement best expresses the theme of "July"?

Summer is a calm and peaceful time of year.

Nature is cruel and cares not for human concerns.

The slow pace of life in summer can be frustrating.
