Story: The Cup that Shines at Night Ann’s eyes fluttered open and she found herself lying in a moonlit grassy field by her friend Mia who was slowly waking up. “Where are we?” Mia asked groggily. “How did we get here?” “I don’t know,” Ann replied. “I wonder how we’ll get home.” An odd purple house with a crooked front door stood nearby. Spying a note tacked to the door, Ann got up and pried it loose. It read: “The cup that shines at night will show the way home.” “What in the world is the cup that shines at night?” asked Mia. “Do you think maybe it’s inside this weird-looking house?” As if the house understood them, the door creaked open. Creeping inside, they saw a table whose surface was covered with all kinds of cups. A tall crystal cup waited to be filled with water. A hefty mug sat next to a delicate china coffee cup, making it appear even more fragile. Towering over the others was a polished silver cup. It looked like the trophy Ann had won in the school science fair. Puzzled, they went outside and collapsed on the porch. They had seen dozens of cups, but none of them was shining. Mia asked if Ann thought they’d ever get home. As she considered Mia’s question, Ann sighed sadly. She gazed at the moonlit sky, hoping desperately that an answer might suddenly appear above them. Then she leapt up, gesturing eagerly skyward. “Look, it’s the Big Dipper! A dipper is a kind of cup, and that dipper is certainly shining! The Big Dipper is made up of seven stars!” “How will the Big Dipper help us get home?” demanded Mia. Ann explained that drawing a line through the two stars at the front of the dipper leads to Polaris, the North Star. “I’ll bet that’s what the note means,” she exclaimed. “We should let Polaris lead us home.” Read the passage.

Name Comprehension and Fluency 114 Practice • Grade 5 • Unit 3 • Week 2 Keeping their eyes glued to Polaris, they started walking north. Soon they found themselves on the steep banks of a wide, rolling river. There was no visible means of getting across. Ann wondered it they had made a mistake. Then she spotted a scrap of paper beside the road. Another note, it read: “The wrongly named bird will carry you across.” Mia knew several different types of birds, such as cardinals, seagulls, and hummingbirds. However, she believed none of them was wrongly named. What could be the meaning of the note? Then, from the shadows, a bat flapped silently toward them. Mia turned to run away. She had heard that bats were blind and got tangled in people’s hair. Ann told her that many bats can see as well as people can. They can also find their way by using echoes. By this time, the bat had vanished quietly in the distance. Rounding a curve in the road, they discovered an old covered wooden bridge. A weathered sign said “Bald Eagle River Bridge.” “That’s it!” cried Ann. “The bald eagle is a wrongly named bird! It isn’t bald at all. Its body is covered in brown feathers and it has white feathers on its head. The contrast makes it look bald.” Mia doubtfully eyed the ancient bridge. However, Ann grinned confidently. She was sure the bridge was their route home, and reminded Mia that they would have missed it if she had run away from the bat. They raced eagerly over the bridge. On the other side stood their houses gleaming coldly in the moonlight. Mia wondered why they hadn’t noticed the bridge before. “I don’t know,” mused Ann. “Maybe it’s because we’re . . .” Suddenly her eyes popped open, and she found herself in her suburban backyard as the sun began climbing over the horizon. Snoring at a tremendous volume, Mia lay twitching, then shuddered, and struggled to sit up. Wearing a dazed expression she stammered, “I just had the strangest dream!” 1. How does Ann figure out the meaning of the first note, “The cup that shines at night will show the way home”?
2. How does Ann figure out the meaning of the second note, “The wrongly named bird will carry you across”?

The Cranberry Connection

“What is this book?” Anna mumbled to herself as she helped her mom look through old boxes. They had belonged to her grandparents who died when Anna was a baby.



“I think I found Grandma’s diary,” she told her mother.



Her mother quickly came closer and said, “What a find! I can’t wait to read it. I miss her.” Then seeing Anna’s frown, Mom added, “But you found Grandma’s diary, so you can read it first.”



Nodding happily, Anna read the date on the first entry, August 13, 1953. “How old was Grandma in 1953?” she asked.



Her mom thought for a minute. “She must have been about nine, the same age as you are right now.”



Anna had seen photos of her grandparents, but they looked so old that it was hard to imagine that her grandma was ever nine.



Anna read the first entry:
The county fair is only two weeks away and today I’m going to practice making Mother’s cranberry bread. Last time, the dough was so thick that I couldn’t even knead it! I get mad at myself when my baking turns out wrong, but Mother keeps telling me to have more patience. I’ll use less flour today and hope for the best.

A young girl kneels next to her trunk and a few boxes to write in her diary.

Then Anna realized that her mother made cranberry bread, too, and the recipe for that bread must have been passed down through the generations. Anna suddenly wanted to learn how to make it, and quickly asked, “Mom, could you help me make cranberry bread today?”



She could tell by the long pause that her mom was a little surprised by her request. “I guess we could make some,” she replied, “but you’ll have to do the kneading because my shoulder is sore from all this work.”



“I’ll do it all,” Anna told her. “Just make sure I’m doing it exactly the way you do it.”



Her mom pointed out, “Anna, you don’t have a lot of . . .”



“Patience!” Anna interrupted. “I’m just like Grandma! But I want to learn how to make that bread just like you do it—and like your mother did it, and her mother did it, and . . .”



Laughing, her mom held up her hand. “I get it, but I’m wondering why you’re suddenly so interested in that bread. Maybe I’d better read the diary before we start!”



Anna smiled and handed the dusty diary to her mom. “I don’t want to break the cranberry connection,” she said. “I have to be ready to teach my own kids how to make that bread!”

The word "vegan" (,begin bold,vee,end bold, • gun) can refer to a particular kind of diet or the person who follows that diet. Vegans typically do not consume animal products, so their diets avoid meat, fish, poultry, eggs, or dairy products. There are various reasons that people decide to become vegans; one reason is for the perceived health benefits of a vegan diet.

Many experts say that a well-planned vegan diet is healthy, but vegans must choose their foods wisely. The animal and dairy products in a non-vegan diet provide important nutrients such as vitamin B12, calcium, and vitamin D. Vegans must find plant-based sources for these nutrients. For example, vegans can get vitamin B12 from fortified,superscript,1,baseline, breakfast cereals or foods made from soybeans. Many dark-green vegetables contain calcium; so do red beans and calcium-fortified fruit juices. Vegans can get vitamin D from fortified soy milk or rice milk. A healthy vegan diet includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and beans.

People who want to switch to a vegan diet should start slowly. They should learn everything they can about being vegan and discuss their plan with a doctor or a dietician.,superscript,2,baseline, They should read food labels to see which foods contain animal products and look through a vegan cookbook. Then they might try a few popular vegan foods, such as veggie burgers. Many of the foods they ate before can remain part of a vegan diet. Vegans can still enjoy a crisp salad and a shiny, red apple!

Question
Which pair of statements, best expresses two main ideas in the passage?

1. Most people who become vegan make the switch because a vegan diet is healthier than other diets. Vegans can get all essential nutrients by including a variety of vegetables and fruits in their daily diet.

2. The term "vegan" refers to people whose diets do not include meat, fish, poultry, eggs, or dairy products. People should not switch to a vegan diet without first learning how to prepare vegan foods.

3. A vegan diet may lack nutrients such as vitamin B12, calcium, and vitamin D that meat-based diets provide. People who become vegan discover that their new diet includes many of the same foods they ate before.

4. Vegans must make sure that their diets include a balance of proper nutrients from plant-based sources. People who want to become vegan should educate themselves about the diet and make gradual changes.
