Pieces of the Past Erin Sullivan
1 Nate slammed the garage door shut with a loud bang—hopefully loud enough for Granddad to hear from inside the house. Nate was angry, angry at his parents for abandoning him at this house during his vacation, angry for having to spend a beautiful sunny day clearing out a dark and damp garage. 2 The dusty garage once housed vehicles, but over time it became cramped with Granddad’s possessions. Tightly packed boxes, bags, and trunks were stacked to the ceiling.
Time for that stuff to go," Granddad announced that morning. "You go through those boxes and keep what you like, and then we'll have a garage sale with the rest and divide the profits."
Nate was annoyed because he was stuck at Granddad's house, and he longed to hang out at the beautiful park and play baseball with the other kids his age. He surveyed the boxes gloomily, considering where to begin. He pried open a filthy plastic container, and inside he found measuring spoons, duct tape, and crumpled file folders. Rubbish, Nate thought to himself, as he tossed it into a garbage bag.
The next box contained Granddad's old suits—neatly folded and packed away after Granddad retired. "Who's going to want these old clothes?" Nate wondered. They were the kind of old suits you see at a garage sale for fifty cents apiece. As he rifled through Granddad's old wardrobe, a childhood memory flashed back to him. After work each day, Granddad used to pick up him from school and always kept a surprise for Nate in his suit pockets—a baseball card or a stick of gum.
Nate scanned the garage, considering what to tackle next. His eyes fell on a wooden crate tucked way in the back with the name “BENNY” marked in orange paint. The crate was almost hidden behind other boxes.
Nate carefully opened the crate, removing a buttery soft catcher's glove and a collection of cards held together by a rubber band. He flipped through the pack, recognizing some legendary players. Then, Nate pulled out a black and white photograph of a boys' team and scoured the faded image for a familiar face. There was Benny—Granddad—in the middle row, suited up and staring proudly at the camera. He looked about fourteen, just about Nate's age. Nate thought about what that boy must have been like as he imagined Benny hovering by second base, eyes glued on the batter, preparing to spring into action.

Nate inspected the garage with fresh eyes. Each container held a story, he realized—a series of clues about Granddad's life. He speculated about each one. Maybe this assignment wouldn't be so horrible, after all.
The Grandparents" from Run with the Horsemen by: Ferrol Sams
1 The grandparents had a great deal of influence in the family circle, especially on the children during their formative years. No real Southerner has ever been able to consider very seriously the highly touted ancestor worship of the Chinese. It is watery by comparison. Teethed on "what we had before the War," weaned on the accomplishments of successful kin, nurtured on the pronouncement of dominant family traits, and lullabied on the recitation of genealogical alliances of several generations, no Southerner could ever mature without a profound sense of family. This spilled over into awareness about other families in the county, and one learned what to expect from different tribes in both looks and actions.
his knowledge came largely from the grandparents and usually in the long, conversational family evenings before television, radio, or accessible automobiles. In the winters the gathering was around the crackling fire in the grandmother's room, in the summers on the wide veranda outside her bedroom door. The grandfather was the raconteur, the grandmother the critic, prompter and censor. Before they were five, the children knew that "Blood will tell," and "Pretty is as pretty does," which they learned from the grandmother. From the grandfather the boy learned "You can't make poundcake out of manure," a comforting maxim indeed when one is forced to assume responsibility for the actions of others, which happens frequently to a farmer.
Which section of Pieces of the Past would MOST LIKELY be different if the story took place in a setting like the one described by Ferrol Sams?
A) Section 2
B) Section 3
C) Section 5
D) Section 6

the diffrences between ''the arrow and the song poem'' and ''the poison tree poem''
The Arrow and the Song
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I shot an arrow into the air.
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air.
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song.

Long, long afterward, in an oak,
I found the arrow still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.



A Poison Tree
by William Blake

I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night.
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole,
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning, glad, I see;
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

When we think about the pollution of our oceans, many of us think of oil spills that dirty the waters and harm a variety of ocean life. Or, we might think of people in boats who litter the waters with their trash. After all, how many times in the news do we hear about ships that leak dangerous chemicals into the water? What we may not realize, though, is that there is another danger that is just as harmful to ocean life as any chemical or other dangerous material: ocean noise.

Many of us think of the oceans as silent places. On the contrary, they are filled with a variety of sounds. On any given day, one might hear the calls of dolphins as they swim through the waters. Whales use sounds to keep track of each other. Sea lions talk to each other to find food. Even the tiniest of shrimp make a snapping sound. There are also sounds caused by wind or rain upon the waters. Sound also plays an important role in the daily life of various ocean animals, many of which depend upon their sharp sound detection skills to survive. With increased activities by people on many of the oceans' waters, the noise has increased so much that it is beginning to cause damage to the oceans as well as to the animals that live in them.

Ocean noise is the term used to describe the human-made noise occurring at increasing rates in the ocean. The noise comes from many different sources: large ships, small boats with motors, and jet skis, among others. There are also underwater exploration activities such as mining, as well as radar activities of ships. One of the most harmful types of ocean noise occurs with offshore oil drilling and seismic oil explorations. Air guns are instruments that are used to determine the location of oil and natural gas beneath the sea floor. They make a sound that can damage the hearing of ocean animals.

We know that sound travels faster in water than it does in air. This means that sounds in the oceans can travel for many, many miles in a short period of time. Unfortunately, sounds made by people are much louder than sounds made by ocean animals.

What this means is that sounds caused by noisy engines or radar equipment used by ships can upset the everyday activities of the creatures that live in the ocean. For instance, humpback whales use songs to talk to each other. Scientists have discovered that the whales' system of "talking" can be disturbed by loud noises. This makes it harder for the whales to find each other. The stranding of whales and dolphins has been found to increase immediately after naval sonar maneuvers. Sea lions are another type of animal that depends on sounds to communicate with other sea lions. Ocean noise can make it difficult for them to find food. Ocean noise can disturb migration routes of whales and other animals that travel to different places.

However, scientists and other researchers are working hard to find a solution to this threat to marine life. Since 2003, the use of low-frequency active (LFA) sonar equipment by the United States Navy has been tightly limited because its effects have been shown to cause harm to many ocean animals. NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) has released a plan to reduce ocean noise that will work better than past attempts to reduce the noise.

Other people are helping as well. Some fishing companies use special equipment that makes a "pinging" sound to keep certain kinds of ocean life from getting caught in its fishing nets. The National Park Service completed a study that tracked tour cruise ships and made an effort to reduce the number of tours. They also tried to increase the "quiet time" for humpback whales by scheduling tours farther apart.

Local conservation groups are also asking people to be more careful about using jet skis, motorboats, and other equipment that might disturb areas where ocean life is particularly fragile. Also, closer attention is being paid to where ships are traveling to make sure that, whenever possible, they stay away from waters where large numbers of ocean animals live.

With the increase in ocean noise, measures must be taken to control or, at the very least, curb its growth.

Which claim from "Ocean Noise" is supported by reasons or evidence?


A. Sounds from humans upset the activities and patterns of some animals more than others.


B. NOAA's new plan will work better than previous plans.


C. Ocean noise is just as damaging as chemical pollution.


D. Sounds in the ocean can travel for many miles in a short time.

What is the main theme in this story from Aesop’s Fables?

The Fox and the Crow
A Fox saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree.

"That's for me, as I am a Fox," said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree.

"Good-day, Mistress Crow," he cried. "How well you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds."

The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox.

"That will do," said he. "That was all I wanted."

A.
Any excuse will serve a poor leader.
B.
Do not trust those who flatter you.
C.
Gratitude and greed go together.
D.
A good act deserves to be rewarded.

For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!


O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!

May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain divine!
