"The Best Board Game"
I have always been a big fan of board games. Monopoly, Candy Land, Scattergories, you name it. When it comes to the best board game to play as a family, there is one clear winner: That game is Sorry. Sorry is a fun game for players of all ages. It is as easy as drawing cards and counting numbered spaces. Most children and adults can play it without becoming frustrated because a lot of the game is based on the luck of the drawn cards. The colors of the pawns include green, red, yellow, and blue. Anyone can win at any time, which makes it a fair game for families of all ages to play.


A. Lastly, Sorry is the best game for families to play because it does not require a lot of strategy.

B. When it comes to the best board game to play as a family, there is one clear winner: That game is Sorry.

A Big Year
By Bob Kowalski

Would you go to the ends of the earth to see a bird? What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest?

If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want.

A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. For most in North America who participate in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast.

You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record holders and the commitment it takes to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune.

Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating.

This honesty comes from the fact that most people who want to break such a record know the greatest rewards are not necessarily in winning. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to doing something you love. Rewards are found in seeing amazing, inspiring creatures like the California Condor or the Magnificent Frigate bird. Rewards also come in spending time with people who, like you, want to spend their time looking to the skies and trees for glimpses of emerald, crimson, or cerulean blue feathered jewels.

You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time.


Extra! Extra! Backyard Birding
Many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February.


What is the main point of the paragraph that begins "This honesty comes from…" in "A Big Year"?
A "Big Year" offers many rewards beyond winning.
Beautiful and amazing birds are worthy of searching out.
Birds come in many shapes and colors.
Breaking records tends to keep people honest.

Through the character of Mathilde,
Maupassant criticizes the human
tendency to care too much about
appearances.
Mathilde, who is married to a humble clerk,
is unhappy with her middle-class life. In an
attempt to appear rich and glamorous, she
borrows a diamond necklace from a friend
but ends up misplacing it. The struggle to
pay for the lost necklace traps Mathilde in
a life of poverty.
An Estonian proverb says, “Who does
not thank for little will not thank for
much.” This is especially true in the
case of Madame Mathilde, the
protagonist of French writer Guy de
Maupassant's short story “The Necklace.”

Read the following passage from Bulfinch’s Mythology.

We thus see that the Greeks of the early ages knew little of any real people except those to the east and south of their own country, or near the coast of the Mediterranean. Their imagination meantime peopled the western portion of this sea with giants, monsters, and enchantresses; while they placed around the disk of the earth, which they probably regarded as of no great width, nations enjoying the peculiar favor of the gods, and blessed with happiness and longevity.
