Drama
by J. Robbins

The theater room was quiet as Paulina and Roseanne slipped in through the door and shut it quickly behind them. They looked around in confusion until I called out to them. The identical looks of relief on their faces were almost comical.
“Calm down,” I whispered. “We aren’t doing anything wrong. The founding members of the drama club are allowed into the theater room anytime during school hours. This is perfectly legal.”
“Sure it is,” replied Roseanne. “That’s why you’re wearing all black and hiding behind a desk, right?”
“I’m an actor, Rosie, and we’re very dramatic,” I snapped. “We have to find out what play Dominiquette and the Spacey Invaders are going to present at Talent Night. She had no right to take over the drama club. If we can outperform them onstage, we’ll be back in the club in no time.”
“Maybe we could just meet with Dominiquette and talk about this whole big mess,” said Paulina. I scoffed and continued digging through the drama club’s collection of costumes. Dominiquette was the unofficial leader of the group nicknamed the Spacey Invaders, and she and her cronies had taken over the drama club from me and my friends. She would no sooner listen to me than a spider would listen to a fly.
“Hey, here is something!” Roseanne called out. “It’s a skull. Do you think they’re going to do something as predictable as Hamlet?”
“Not likely,” replied Paulina. “I bet that’s left over from last year.”
“I found it!” I screeched, holding a stuffed seagull over my head in triumph. “They must be planning to do Chekhov’s The Seagull. It’s the only explanation.” The three of us stared down at the fake bird with grudging admiration. As far as I knew, no high school drama club in Chambersville had ever attempted something as ambitious as The Seagull. Dominiquette was not just ambitious—she was downright devious!
“How are we going to beat them now?” asked Paulina dejectedly.
“I have no idea,” I replied. “But we only have two days to figure it out.”

A Taste of Korea
Elizabeth Kibler

1Standing near the window, Joshua viewed the moving vans pull up next door. He couldn’t wait to meet his neighbors. Joshua saw a boy his own age hop out of the truck. Walking outside, Joshua waved to his new neighbors.

2Joshua boldly walked up to the young man and shot a hand out in front of him. The young man looked like he did not know what to do with Joshua’s outstretched hand. Joshua scooped up the young man’s hand and shook it vigorously. While looking down at his shoes, the young man quietly introduced himself as Dong Soo.

3Over the next few weeks, Joshua and Dong Soo became great friends and did almost everything together. Because the young men were so drastically different, their friendship surprised some people. Joshua was sociable; he loved cracking jokes and playing tricks. Dong Soo, however, was quiet and calm. He thought for a long time before speaking.

4Sometimes Joshua and Dong Soo had difficulty understanding each other. Some days at school Dong Soo ate a lunch that, to Joshua, didn’t look edible—or maybe it looked just barely safe to eat. Joshua was sure he would never eat it. Dong Soo explained that, because he was Korean, he ate foods that other kids at school might not. Sometimes Joshua played pranks on his older brother. Dong Soo was horrified at what he saw as his friend’s thoughtless and imprudent actions.

5Joshua thought it was important to know what would offend Dong Soo and his family. Therefore, understanding his friend’s culture was vital. Joshua asked Dong Soo to tell him about the Korean culture. Dong Soo suggested that they start with food. He explained that food was very important in Korean culture. For instance, Koreans would never sit down in front of a television while eating a meal. To Koreans, meals are more than mere nourishment—they are a way to show manners.

6Joshua was enthralled by these ideas; he eagerly asked his friend to teach him more. Dong Soo promised to teach Joshua much more about his culture and how it influences his life. Dong Soo set the table with many bowls and pairs of intricately designed chopsticks. Dong Soo taught Joshua how to hold the chopsticks and how to properly eat rice. Joshua’s mind swam trying to remember the rules, so he asked Dong Soo how he remembered.

7Dong Soo explained to Joshua that his traditional Korean background influenced his life in many ways. He told Joshua that table manners were just one of the many things he was taught. Dong Soo was used to the ways of his culture that he did not have to think about them. Dong Soo told his friend that it was easy to feel isolated and alone when you are different from some people; however, he was happy that Joshua made him feel so accepted.

Colony Collapse Disorder

In 2006, beekeepers throughout the United States began to notice something new—and troubling. Adult honeybees, known as worker bees, were disappearing from their hives, seemingly abandoning them. Few or no dead bees were found in the hives, while the queen and larvae were alive and well but without the swarm of worker bees that typically attended them to keep them alive. What had happened?

The phenomenon became so widespread that it soon received a name, Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) . There was no denying that CCD was a problem; after all, American agriculture depends on the work of honeybees and other pollinators. At least three-quarters of the crops grown in the United States depend on honeybee pollination for their survival. These include such staples as strawberries, blueberries, apples, broccoli, asparagus, and almonds. Without them, both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer.

But what is causing this problem? Scientists have rigorously studied a variety of possible causes, ranging from genetically modified crops to climate change to cell phone towers. Sadly, nothing has shown to be the cause of the problem. The most likely culprits are pathogens, or disease-causing organisms. These have been found in larger numbers in colonies affected by CCD than in those unaffected. But these pathogens have included various viruses and bacteria, some found in greater concentrations in different parts of the country. If CCD is caused by a single disease, identifying that disease will be difficult.

The CCD epidemic is most likely the result of multiple causes—pathogens, poor nutrition, pesticides, lack of genetic diversity, and habitat loss. Efforts to prevent colony loss have been mildly successful. The number lost has declined each year since 2008. But until a solution to this problem is found, CCD will remain a concern that will threaten not only the future of bees, but also of the people who rely on the food that they help produce.

Question 1
Part A

Which inference can be made about the cause of CCD in “Colony Collapse Disorder”?


It is very complex and will be challenging to overcome.

It will impact humans and affect their health in the future.

It is a threat that needs to be identified as soon as possible.

It affects bees most seriously but threatens other pollinators also.

Part B

Which statement from "Colony Collapse Disorder" best supports the answer in Part A?


“The CCD epidemic is most likely the result of multiple causes—pathogens, poor nutrition, pesticides, lack of genetic diversity, and habitat loss.”

“Without [honeybees], both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer.”

“The most likely culprits are pathogens, or disease-causing organisms.”

“Scientists rigorously studied a variety of possible causes, ranging from genetically modified crops to climate change to cell phone towers.”

What are the conflicts in this story? How do Jolene's actions move the plot forward?
Passage
Jolene was hungry and craving a big bowl of cereal. Peering into the fridge, she remembered that she had used the rest of the milk last night. Maybe her mom was on the way home and could pick some up. Her quick text message was met with an immediate response: "Stuck at work, won't be home for an hour." With no stores in walking distance, Jolene rummaged through the cabinet to find a jar and ventured to her neighbor's house to borrow a cup of milk. A boy from her class, Allen, answered the doorbell. Darn — Jolene had hoped that Allen's sister Isabel would answer. Allen and Jolene had never liked each other much. Allen said they didn't have any milk either. Jolene knew he was lying but, saying nothing, she left and continued on to the next house.

HELP MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Read this excerpt adapted from “A Brave Lad.” This story originally appeared in Chatterbox, a book of stories edited by J. Erskine Clarke.

Which line from the story supports the idea that Fred is a courageous boy?

It was Saturday afternoon when the boys of Wedderburn School went off as usual to swim their boats on a beautiful lake. Fred Langton had a new boat, which his grandfather had sent to him as a birthday present. It was a larger and better-constructed boat than any of the others. Each boy was, of course, eager that his own boat should win the race. Although all the boys admired Fred's boat and wished that they could have had one as good, they felt no grudge towards Fred himself. In fact, he was a general favorite in the school. He was kind-hearted, unselfish, and always willing to give anything that he had to his companions.

“I tell you,” said Bill Cowan to his own particular chum, Joe Morris, “that boat of Fred's will beat ours all hollow! I wish I had one as good!”

“Well, suppose it does win,” replied Joe Morris, “I shall not grudge it to him, for Fred is no sneak; he is out-and-out the jolliest fellow in Wedderburn School.”

“So he is,” said Bill Cowan, “and no mistake about it. Well, here we are at the lake, and now for some fun.”

On this particular Saturday, however, Fred was going to become famous in quite another way. The little boats were all in full sail, and the schoolboys were shouting with glee at the fun. Suddenly a fox-terrier took it into his head to chase the boats and show that he could swim as well as they could. Poor dog! It was quite true that he could swim. Unfortunately he got caught among weeds. He began struggling in the water and barking for help.

“Oh, I say, I can't stand this!” cried Fred Langton; “he will be drowned. I must go in and fetch him out!”

“No, no!” cried Bill Cowan; “the lake is quite deep just at that place.”

“Yes, I know it's deep,” added Joe Morris, “and, besides, you can't swim, Fred; don't be silly. Who cares for a dog being drowned?”

“I do, for one,” cried Fred, and dashing into the water he waded out to where the poor dog was half-standing, half-lying, among the choking weeds. Yes, the water was deep; but stretching out his arms he contrived to catch hold of the poor animal, and he quickly waded back to shore amid ringing cheers from all the people who had now gathered on the bank to watch the plucky lad. And whose was the dog? Nobody knew; it seemed, indeed, to have no owner and no home. But Fred and his companions carried it back with them to the school, and, after having told their tale, they begged the head master to keep it for himself. As Dr. Williams could not discover anything about the dog's ownership, he did keep it. So Fred's brave deed not only saved the animal's life, but procured a good home for it as well.

PLZZZ HURRYYY
Read the excerpt from “Harriet Tubman: A Life of Toil and Triumph.”


After Harriet journeyed to the safety of Philadelphia, she met with members of the Anti-Slavery Society. She wanted to learn more about the special railroad that had helped her become free, and then she wanted to help. Without taking any time to enjoy her newfound freedom, she signed on as a conductor. Soon she was headed back to Maryland to guide others safely north.


Then in 1850, the United States passed the Fugitive Slave Act. This forced citizens of the Northern states to return escaped enslaved persons to the South. Remarkably, Harriet did not become discouraged. Instead, she conducted her passengers all the way to Canada—a trip of an extra three hundred miles! In all, she made that trip nineteen times, freeing her family and three hundred additional enslaved persons in the process.


What inference can be made about Harriet Tubman’s character?


She was tireless in bringing others to freedom.

She felt entitled to freedom and an easy life.

She was too busy to enjoy her new freedom.

She worked as a conductor to free her family.
