Experimentation on animals is cruel and unnecessary. It is wrong to test drugs and products on animals. Just because animals cannot speak, it does not mean they do not feel any pain or discomfort. Also, there is no guarantee that what is safe for animals will be safe for humans. However, these experiments still continue. In today’s world, where science has come so far in what it can do, there has to be a better way to test products.

Standing 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.

Joshua 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.

Over 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.

Sometimes 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.

Joshua 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.

Joshua 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.

Dong 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.

“How did you like your first taste of Korea?” Dong Soo asked with smile.

Why does Dong Soo act the way he does?
A) He wants to fit in at his new school.
B) He does not want to be like other kids.
C) He wants to act just like his friend Joshua.
D) He was raised in a traditional Korean family.
2)
What is one difference between Joshua and Dong Soo?
A) They are different ages.
B) One is outgoing, one is quiet and calm.
C) Joshua is American, Dong Soo is Japanese.
D) Joshua repects his brother, Dong Soo does not.
3)
Why did Joshua look out of his window?
A) He was afraid of his new neighbors.
B) He watched the moving vans next door.
C) He wanted to see his friend, Dong Soo.
D) He wondered if he should visit his friend.
4)
Because Dong Soo taught his friend Joshua about Korean culture, a reader can infer that
A) Joshua would not need to teach Dong Soo about Joshua's culture.
B) Joshua would be willing to teach others about Dong Soo's culture.
C) Joshua would be willing to teach Dong Soo about Joshua's culture.
D) Joshua would be unwilling to teach Dong Soo about Joshua's culture.
5)
Dong Soo is happy to teach Joshua about his culture because
A) he believes that Joshua is not understanding of others.
B) he thinks that Joshua will enjoy eating various Korean foods.
C) he is proud of his culture and wants Joshua to understand it.
D) he wants his friends to try to practice Korean customs with him.

Match the sentence from the story to the question that it helps answer

1"Okay, guys. It's a three-mile hike to the campsite! Let's embark on our family camping adventure!" Randy and Susan started climbing the rocky mountain terrain, noticing the brambles and undergrowth as they ascended the steep path. The sun beat down on them even though the leaves on the trees had already started to turn.

2"For about forty-five minutes, the siblings dodged branches, stepped over encroaching tree roots, and avoided mud puddles. Mom led the way along the trail, with Susan behind her and Randy at the back of the line.

3"As the family rounded a curve, Susan heard Randy suddenly stumble and gasp. She turned just in time to see her twin brother fall onto his right arm. He let out a painful yelp after hitting the ground.

4 "Mom! Mom!" Susan exclaimed, "Randy's injured!" Their mother hustled back down the trail to the teens.

5 "What happened?" Mom asked with a concerned look on her face.

6 "I guess I wasn't looking where I was going. I accidentally tripped over an enormous tree root and fell on my arm," Randy explained between gritted teeth.

7Mom knelt down to examine Randy's arm. The boy winced in pain as his mother carefully manipulated it.

8"Randy's arm may be fractured," Mom concluded. "I need to create a splint to hold it still until we can get him to a doctor."

9 "Susan, go find two branches about the length of your brother's arm. Look quickly, but remain on the path!" Susan began rummaging through the piles of sticks that lined the length of the trail. As she quickly searched the underbrush, Susan discarded branches that were too short, too thin, and too large. Finally, she discovered two sticks that were each about a foot long and an inch thick.

10 "Here, Mom, I found some branches. Hopefully, these will work," said Susan as she sprinted back down the trail toward her family.

11 "Randy, this will probably hurt, but we have to hold your arm still so I can splint it between the sticks." Randy continued to grimace in pain as his mother secured the branches on either side of his injured arm. She then tore a bandanna into four strips of cloth and tied it firmly around the branches to ensure that Randy couldn't move his arm.

12"For the next hour, Randy, Susan, and their mother cautiously navigated their way back down the trail. Susan carried Randy's backpack along with her own supplies, while their mother guided Randy between the overhanging branches along the narrow path.

13"As the family returned to their car in the parking lot, Randy commented, "This wasn't a typical camping trip, but I will certainly remember it for a long time."

I NEED THIS FAST Read the passage from "Names/Nombres" by Julia Alvarez.

“Say your name in Spanish, oh, please say it!” I had made mouths drop one day by rattling off my full name, which, according to Dominican custom, included my middle names, Mother’s and Father’s surnames for four generations back.

“Julia Altagracia María Teresa Álvarez Tavares Perello Espaillat Julia Pérez Rochet González." I pronounced it slowly, a name as chaotic with sounds as a Middle Eastern bazaar or market day in a South American village.

What is the most likely reason why Julia does not like to say her whole name?

Her entire name is too difficult for her to pronounce.
Her friends like to make fun of her Dominican name.
It embarrasses her because it reflects her ethnicity.
She does not like saying it, because it is too much trouble.

Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.

We were all ranked together at the valuation. Men and women, old and young, married and single, were ranked with horses, sheep, and swine. There were horses and men, cattle and women, pigs and children, all holding the same rank in the scale of being, and were all subjected to the same narrow examination. Silvery-headed age and sprightly youth, maids and matrons, had to undergo the same indelicate inspection.

Which best states the cause/effect relationship expressed in the excerpt?

Cause: The enslaved persons are treated inhumanely at the examination.
Effect: Douglass makes an attempt to run away.
Cause: All the enslaved persons are ranked together for inspection.
Effect: Douglass is separated from his family.
Cause: Douglass witnesses the inhumane treatment of enslaved persons.
Effect: He becomes more aware of the brutality of slavery.
Cause: Douglass is examined and determined to be valuable.
Effect: He is sent back home to Baltimore.

Sandcastles

On a hot summer afternoon, Hudson, Courtney, Emma, and Billy headed to Carolina beach to spend a relaxing day at the shore. The beach swarmed with people who were leisurely enjoying the beautiful view of the sea.
The four friends swam near the shore in the green-hued water. Then, they played a beach volley-ball for some time, but they were soon tired and decided to relax for a while.
Courtney, who was too bored to relax, decided to go for a stroll, and on her way, she spotted several kids building sandcastles. The sight of the perfectly crafted sandcastles filled her with excitement and zeal. She was overjoyed with the idea of ornamenting her own sandcastle with conch shells, and she could not wait to begin. She rushed to her friends and convinced them to join her in building a sandcastle.
Billy was not too keen on building a sandcastle because he did not want to do something so messy and get his hands dirty.
Besides, it is so hot. Why should we sit under the blazing sun and play with sand, he thought. However, he did not want to disappoint Courtney and the others. So, he dragged himself and helped Courtney gather sand in a bucket.
Hudson looked at Billy's face and understood how he felt.
"Give it a shot, Billy. It won't be so bad," Hudson told Billy and tried to comfort him. Hudson, on the other hand, was totally at ease. After all, building sandcastles with his sister was his favorite pastime, and he proudly demonstrated his sand carving skills to Billy.
Emma had never made sandcastles before, but she was eager to learn. She followed Courtney's instructions and sculpted arches and windows in the stacks of sand effortlessly.
When their sandcastle was ready, the four friends could not help but admire its beauty and perfection.
"This isn't so bad," Billy told Hudson with a smile.
Billy, Hudson, and Emma thanked Courtney for her suggestion and promised they would do this more often.

When reading The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, the reader can make conclusions based on known facts or evidence. This process is called finding explicit information, making an inference, having a point of view, determining viewpoint.
