SIMPLE EASY READ AND ANSWER EASY QUESTONS


The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a deal between three countries. The three countries are the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Some people like it. Other people hate it. It was signed in 1992. NAFTA made it easier for the three countries to sell things to each other. They would not have to pay extra money, like special taxes. Taxes are sometimes added to the price of things that are sold.

Getting rid of these taxes is called free trade. Buying and selling things is called trade. Free trade helps countries sell the things they make easily. It also lets countries buy things from other countries that they can't grow or make. For example, some countries can't grow oranges because it's too cold there.

NAFTA is similar to a deal in Europe. There is a group of countries called the European Union. They got rid of taxes so that European countries could sell more things to each other. This led to more trade in Europe.

NAFTA became a law in 1994.

Critics said NAFTA would be bad for workers
Many people like NAFTA. They thought that free trade would bring wealth. They thought it would create millions of jobs. Other people did not agree. They thought it was just a way for big companies to make more money.

People who did not like NAFTA also worried about jobs. They thought that Canadian and American factories would move to Mexico. People were worried that if that happened they would the lose their jobs. That is because it is cheaper to hire workers in Mexico.

People also worried that new factories would hurt the environment in Mexico. Some people worried that small farmers would lose their farms. Big farms might become too powerful for smaller ones to keep up.

NAFTA was better for Mexico than the U.S. or Canada
NAFTA didn't deliver all it promised. NAFTA may have helped Mexico the most. Mexico traded much more. This meant that Mexicans could get more goods to buy. Meanwhile, the United States and Canada had less success with NAFTA.

But not many jobs were lost in America or Canada. Most companies did not move to Mexico. And NAFTA did not cause environmental problems like some people thought it would.

Expansion
In 2004, NAFTA expanded to include five Central American countries. This was called the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). Other South and Central American countries joined later. A new deal was signed in 2015. It is called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). It is like NAFTA, but in Asia.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

Select the paragraph that shows that Mason is excited after finding the baseball photo.
Who Were the Spiders?



The Cooper family was about to move because Dad had a new job in Colorado. He had been out of work for a year, and Natalie and Mason knew he had been unhappy, but now a new job was making things look better. As Dad said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.”



Dad was already in Colorado, but Mom stayed behind so that the twins Natalie and Mason could finish fifth grade at Oak School. Today, Natalie and Mason were helping to pack boxes, and they enjoyed looking at the old treasures, especially the photo albums.



Mason found many photos, and Natalie picked up one of a baseball team in which the men’s uniforms had CLEVELAND printed on them. Someone had written 1895 on the photo, and Natalie asked, “Why is this photo here? The year is more than one hundred years ago.”



Mason asked Mom, “Is there a famous baseball player in our family?”



“I don’t know of anyone in my family, but maybe there was someone in your dad’s family,” she said, “so remember to ask about the photo when you talk to your dad tonight.”





That night Dad called, and Mason was eager to talk to him. “Dad, we found a photo today of a baseball team that played in 1895. Did one of your relatives play on a team a long time ago?”



Dad said, “It’s familiar, but I don’t know the story. Some of the photos are my father’s, so why don’t you call him and see if he knows?”



Grandpa Ken recalled that a relative played for a Cleveland team, a cousin of his great-grandfather whose last name was Zimmer, so Grandpa suggested they look up early Cleveland teams.



Mason and Natalie headed for the computer and found a baseball encyclopedia, where they clicked on “Teams” and found links to “Active Franchises” and “Earlier Franchises.” Mason knew that a franchise is a name for a professional sports team. Under “Earlier Franchises” they found three teams: Cleveland Blue, 1879–1884; Cleveland Infants, 1890–1890; and Cleveland Spiders, 1887–1899.



Mason shouted, “We found the answer! Our 1895 photo must show the Cleveland Spiders.”



Natalie said, “You might be right, so let’s find out about them.”



They looked for Cleveland Spiders and found the headline, “Grand Opening. About Nine Thousand People See the First Game.” A new Cleveland ballpark had opened on May 2, 1891. Cy Young was the starting pitcher, and Zimmer was listed as one of the players. “That’s the cousin of our great-great-grandfather!” said Natalie.



Mom said, “That means he played on the same team as Cy Young, who was an exceptional pitcher who won more games than any other pitcher in history.”



Mason wanted to know more, so they searched a baseball almanac. Natalie saw a list of players, and Zimmer was a catcher in 1895, a year in which the team came in second. She also read that in 1899, the Spiders were baseball’s worst team.



Natalie checked the 1899 team, and there was Zimmer again. “Oh, well, you can’t win them all,” she said.



Mom then said, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” They would have to find out more about the Cleveland Spiders tomorrow.




A Mason asked Mom, “Is there a famous baseball player in our family?”

B“I don’t know of anyone in my family, but maybe there was someone in your dad’s family,” she said, “so remember to ask about the photo when you talk to your dad tonight.”


C That night Dad called, and Mason was eager to talk to him. “Dad, we found a photo today of a baseball team that played in 1895. Did one of your relatives play on a team a long time ago?”

D Dad said, “It’s familiar, but I don’t know the story. Some of the photos are my father’s, so why don’t you call him and see if he knows?”

E Grandpa Ken recalled that a relative played for a Cleveland team, a cousin of his great-grandfather whose last name was Zimmer, so Grandpa suggested they look up early Cleveland teams.
