Story: Dust by Charles Grayson
1 As Edwin rested his cheek against the side of his cow, Nelly, he could hear the wind whistling through the barn walls and see the air begin to darken with dust. Annie and Jewel were giggling as they played in the hayloft above him when one of the girls began to wheeze. Edwin quickly finished milking the cow and called to his sisters. “Hurry up, girls,” he said, “another black blizzard is coming.”
2The wind suddenly picked up strength, and before Edwin’s eyes, the farmhouse—only 50 feet away—became nearly invisible. Without hesitation, Edwin grabbed two pieces of heavy twine, tied one around each girl’s waist, and then tied the two girls together. He took Annie’s hand and instructed her to hold tightly to Jewel. Leaning into the blinding wind, Edwin slowly navigated them back to the house.
3Inside, Ma was relieved to see the children. With a sigh, she took the milk from Edwin, eyeing the familiar dust that she would try to skim off before serving the milk to her family. Although it was early morning, the dust storm outside made the small farmhouse dark and dismal. Edwin slapped the dirt from his jacket with his hands. He was weary of the dust, too, but he was smiling inside because tomorrow his father was coming home.
4The next morning dawned clear and calm. Edwin swept the house while his mother worked in the yard, rescuing her daffodils from the dust that had drifted against the foundation of the house like gritty snow. The clatter of a rundown automobile heralded the arrival of Edwin’s father, and the boy raced outside.
5The family gathered around Pa, who hugged each one of them tightly. He had been in Arizona for three weeks picking cotton. This spring the ground was hard and barren, and the constant dust storms made it impossible to cultivate crops. Pa had to find some way to earn money—his children were wearing tattered hand-me-downs, and his small herd of cattle was slowly starving.
6When Ma asked about the work, Pa said that the wages he earned were far less than what had been promised. Still, he’d brought home enough money to see them through another month. Eventually, the joy of being reunited with his family faded, and the careworn expression returned to Pa’s face.
7After Pa had been home a few days, Edwin overheard his parents having a serious discussion. “I just don’t know if I can leave our home,” Ma said, a note of grief in her voice. Pa had heard there was work on commercial farms in California, where cotton, oranges, and other crops grew nearly year round.
8“I know it’s not like owning our own farm, but what choice do we have?” Pa pleaded. Afterward, Ma went into the yard and stood for a long time by her beloved lilac bush, staring out at the desolate fields.
9Later, Pa asked Edwin to ride the horse into town to purchase provisions. Edwin rode at a slow pace, thinking. He didn’t like it when his parents argued, and he didn’t like it when his father had to leave home to work. Most of all, Edwin wished there was something he could do to assist his family. At the store, he walked past the half-empty shelves to the back counter and asked Mr. Harburger for beans and flour.
10As Edwin waited, something bright and orange caught his eye. It was an old advertisement on the shelf in front of him—a photograph of a glistening orange grove with the words “Sunny California” splashed across the top. Edwin had never seen an orange grove before. Studying the picture, Edwin’s face brightened. “Take it,” Mr. Harburger said with a wink. At home, Edwin tacked the picture up next to his bed. One day, Edwin even caught his mother examining the photograph of the orange grove, smiling for the first time in a long time.
11When autumn arrived, Edwin’s parents learned the government was offering to buy starving livestock for slaughter. Most farmers knew their animals could not survive another winter, so they accepted the offer in exchange for some much-needed cash. After a long discussion, Edwin’s parents did the same. Edwin sensed a change was coming.
12The cow Nelly remained, but Edwin could see that she was becoming desperately thin. The next day, Edwin sold Nelly at the Baileys’ farm. The Baileys were doing better than most folks, though Edwin couldn’t say why. He returned home with 16 dollars in his pocket and a little relief knowing that Nelly would be cared for.
13Later that evening, Edwin’s parents made an important announcement: they would be packing whatever would fit into their old automobile and moving to California. Then Edwin made his own announcement. “Here,” he said, handing his father the 16 dollars. “We can buy fuel with this!

In dust by Charles, Edwin plays a significant role. Edwin is a man with light skin and a right-side short haircut. He is perceived as an odd piece of hair that is frequently affected by dust due to his unique shortcut.

Edwin typically wears a gray jumper, a belt with four metal buckles and brown boots. His personality is restrained and serene yet not overly self-assured. He is mechanical in nature, but has a wonderful heart.

He is incredibly cunning and always employs a variety of weapons in diverse ways. Likewise, he spent a lot of time perfecting his weaponry.

Therefore, Edwin could hear the wind whistling through the barn walls as he laid his cheek against the side of his cow, Nelly, and see the air beginning to go dingy with dust.

Which sentence in this excerpt shows that Tom Canty is not satisfied with being a mock (pretend) prince?


The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain (excerpt)


By-and-by Tom's reading and dreaming about princely life wrought such a strong effect upon him that he began to act the prince, unconsciously. His speech and manners became curiously ceremonious and courtly, to the vast admiration and amusement of his intimates.
[But Tom's influence among these young people began to grow now, day by day; and in time he came to be looked up to, by them, with a sort of wondering awe, as a superior being.]
He seemed to know so much! and he could do and say such marvelous things! and withal, he was so deep and wise! Tom's remarks, and Tom's performances, were reported by the boys to their elders; and these, also, presently began to discuss Tom Canty, and to regard him as a most gifted and extraordinary creature. Full-grown people brought their perplexities to Tom for solution, and were often astonished at the wit and wisdom of his decisions,
[In fact he was become a hero to all who knew him except his own family---these, only, saw nothing in him.]

Privately, after a while, Tom organized a royal court! He was the prince; his special comrades were guards, chamberlains, equerries, lords, and ladies in waiting, and the royal family. Daily the mock prince was received with elaborate ceremonials borrowed by Tom from his romantic readings; daily the great affairs of the mimic kingdom were discussed in the royal council, and daily his mimic highness issued decrees to his imaginary armies, navies, and vice royalties.

After which, he would go forth in his rage and beg a few farthings, eat his poor crust, take his customary cuffs and abuse, and then stretch himself upon his handful of foul straw, and resume his empty grandeur's in his dreams.

[And still his desire to look just once upon a real prince, in the flesh, grew upon him, day by day, and week by week, until at last it absorbed all other desires, and become the one passion of his life.]

One January day, on his usual begging tour, he tramped despondently up and down the region round about Mincing Lane and Little East Cheap, hour after hour, bare-footed and cold, looking in at cook-shop windows and longing for the dreadful pork-pies and other deadly inventions displayed there---for to him these were dainties fit for the angels; that is, judging by the smell, they were---for it had never been is good luck to own and eat one. There was a cold drizzle of rain; the atmosphere was murky; it was melancholy day. At night Tom reached home so wet and tired and hungry that it was not possible for his grandfather and grandmother to observer his forlorn condition and not be moved---after their fashion; wherefore they gave him a brisk-cuffing at once and sent him to bed.
[For a long time his pain and hunger, and the swearing and fighting going on in the building, kept him awake; but at last his thoughts drifted away to far, romantic lands, and he fell asleep in the company of jeweled and gilded prince-lings who live in vast palaces, and had servants salaaming before them or flying to execute their orders. And then, as usual, he dreamed that he was a prince-ling himself.]

Read the story then answer the question.
Watch Out for the Octopus! :book name)
There are a lot of deadly animals in the world. Some are poisonous, meaning they use poison as a defense. If you touch them, you might absorb the poison through your skin. Others are venomous, meaning they use their poison to attack. What are some of the deadliest animals out there?

One truly deadly animal is the puffer fish. It does not look dangerous, but its skin and organs are poisonous to humans. Oddly, people like to eat the puffer fish. Cooks who work with it have to have a special license. It is supposed to be delicious—as long as you don’t take a bite of those parts of it that might be fatal! Puffer fish could be the last meal you ever have.

Exotic poison dart frogs are found in the jungles of South and Central America. These tiny frogs are unusually colorful, but their beauty is sinister. Their skin is so poisonous that if enemies touch it or try to eat it, they will quickly die.

Snakes, of course, are known for being venomous. The taipan lives in Australia and is considered the world’s most venomous snake. Its venom is said to be four hundred times stronger than that of the next most venomous snake. Luckily, the taipan is very shy and secretive, and it is rarely seen by humans. King cobras, which live in East and Southeast Asia, are the longest venomous snakes, growing to more than eighteen feet in length

Some animals have very venomous stings. Scorpions, with their sharp tails, are among them. The deathstalker scorpion, found in North Africa and the Middle East, has a strong, painful poison. Many spiders are venomous, too, including the Brazilian wandering spider. It is especially dangerous because it moves around a lot and might be found in someone’s shoe or under a bed. In the United States, black widow spiders and brown recluse spiders are the most common venomous spiders. But they do not match the danger of the Brazilian wandering spider or the funnel-web spider of Australia. Like scorpions, venomous spiders use their poison to get food.

You might not think of an octopus as being venomous, but the blue-ringed octopus certainly is. It is small and brightly colored, and it can move very quickly. It lives in the waters around Asia and Australia. Its sting is both painful and dangerous.

There are poisonous and venomous animals almost everywhere in the world. That is why it is usually a good idea to be careful if you see an unfamiliar animal—especially an unfamiliar snake, spider, frog, scorpion, fish, or octopus!

Question: Which of these gives the main purpose of the passage?

A. to be a reference for all poisonous and venomous animals
B. to entertain the reader with stories about unique animals
C. to inform the reader about different poisonous and
venomous animals
D. to persuade the reader to protect themselves from

How the rabbit got his short tail & the blue ox makes lakes
How the Rabbit Got Its Short Tail & The Blue Ox Makes Lakes Traditional How the Rabbit Got Its Short Tail 1Long ago, all the animals lived together on Animal Island. Rabbit was one of the proudest animals, and he liked to show off his very long, furry tail. Fox grew tired of listening to Rabbit boast about his tail and decided to play a trick on him. 2One winter morning, Fox went to the lake where the animals liked to drink. The lake was frozen, so Fox cut a hole in the ice. Then, she tied a fish to her tail and dipped it into the chilly water. When Rabbit arrived at the lake, he wanted to know what was happening. 3“I’m fishing with my tail, Rabbit,” announced Fox, displaying the fish. 4“With my long, beautiful tail, I can certainly catch ten fish!” bragged Rabbit. He cut into the ice and dipped his tail into the water. Overnight the water froze, and Rabbit’s tail became stuck. Fox laughed at Rabbit, who tugged so hard that his long tail popped off! 5And that is why rabbits have short tails. The Blue Ox Makes Lakes 6In America's pioneer days, Paul Bunyan was the biggest, strongest lumberjack ever to swing an ax. He could chop down a whole forest with one swing. He could eat four dozen eggs and a sack of potatoes each morning for breakfast. 7One winter, when the weather was so cold that the snow turned blue, Paul Bunyan found a baby ox nearly frozen in the ice. A big man like Paul Bunyan needed an ox to carry all the lumber he chopped. The lumberjack warmed the little ox by the fire, but he stayed as blue as the sky. Paul Bunyan named the animal Babe the Blue Ox. 8Babe grew as big as a house and carried the trees that Paul Bunyan chopped. He tricked the lumberjacks with heavy footsteps that shook the ground like earthquakes. As Babe the Blue Ox journeyed across the country, he left a trail of deep hoof prints. When those giant hoof prints filled with rain, they formed the thousand lakes of Minnesota. Qestion: How are the themes of these two stories similar?

Question 5(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)
(MC)

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. Most of North America participates 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 its commitment 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 do 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.
