Read the excerpt from How Hurricanes Form.

Hurricanes are often compared to engines. Just like engines, they need a type of fuel. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters near the equator. For hurricanes, their fuel is warm, moist air. When hurricanes form, the warm, moist air above the ocean rises upward from close to the surface of the water. Because the warm air rises, it results in less air under the surface of the water. This area with less air is known as an area with low pressure.

Air from areas surrounding this low pressure space pushes in to the area. This fills the low pressure area. The new air in this space becomes warm and moist and also rises. As the air continues to rise, the air surrounding the space swirls in to take its place. This process of air swirling in to replace air that has risen continues. Eventually, the moisture in the air forms clouds.

The wind and the clouds that form create a system. A system is a pattern of weather. The system of clouds and winds continues to spin and grow. The water evaporating from the ocean's warm surface acts as the fuel, which is what helps this spinning and growing. The system rotates faster and faster until the eye of the storm forms in the center area. Ironically, the eye of the storm is the calmest part, and it has very low air pressure. The higher pressure above the hurricane continually flows down into the eye.

Select the detail from the excerpt that supports the main idea of this part of the article. (2 points)

a
Hurricanes are often compared to engines.

b
The eye of the storm is the calmest part of the storm and has very low air pressure.

c

wiesel gives his speech when he is

America’s space program does not get the attention it once did. It certainly doesn’t generate the same excitement. From the 1950s through the 1970s, astronauts were national heroes. Children dreamed of traveling through space. Adults looked to the moon with the sense of national pride. Those days could—and should—return again.
If average Americans search their brain, it is not hard to find arguments against space travel. It costs money. It’s dangerous. We have enough problems on our own planet. If the same Americans search their hearts, however, the results are different. Deep within us, we all have similar desires. Space exploration fulfills all these desires.
Let’s begin with curiosity. We all have it. From the time we are small children we long to know what is in the next room, down the street, or in the next town. We are nomads, wanting to explore. We are detectives, trying to solve a mystery. We are students of life, seeking answers. The space program gives us a chance to be all those things and more. Even if we don’t travel ourselves, the excitement of new discoveries would again feed our thirst for something new.
Another benefit of returning to space is the inspiration it provides. In the early days of space travel, America had a goal. We wanted to reach space safely and quickly. The country responded spectacularly. Teamwork and creativity reached all-time highs. Students delved deeper into science and math hoping to contribute. Heroes stepped up to bravely accept challenges. We were attempting the impossible and determined to succeed. Think of the amazing things Americans would accomplish if that inspiration returned.
Perhaps the largest thing lost with a shrinking space program is perspective. Exploring space reminds us how small and fragile our planet truly is. It encourages collaboration with other countries which helps cultural differences disappear. It can reveal the effects of abusing natural resources. Looking at our Earth from a great distance gives us a unique view of our world and the effect we have upon it.
Plans for America’s space program should clearly be revisited. Exploration of our solar system should continue not for science or power or money, but for the benefit of mankind. It gives us an outlet for our curiosity. It provides inspiration for our souls. It offers a perspective to help understand our place in the universe. The benefits are as vast as space itself.

The following passage (paragraphs 7-8) mainly suggests that .

Proponents of the astronaut-preferred camp point, quite rightfully, at the versatility and independence of humans. Fans of human spaceflight are certainly correct when they remind us that humans are highly versatile. People observe the conditions around them and can react to circumstances as needed.

However, people are also fragile. They need food, water, and air. They can exist in only a narrow range of temperatures and find inhospitable both vacuums and a radioactive environment. While some adventurers might prefer to remain in space forever, many of them expect to land gently back on Earth. All of these considerations are extremely challenging and not important for robotic missions.

A. the author is aware of and considers opposition to his position

B. the author thinks humans are too weak to travel in space

C. the author thinks robots are not as versatile as humans

2) What were some successful occurrences this week and how did you celebrate them?

I knew I could never let Mom hear the messages, because protecting her is one my most important raisons d’etre, so what I did was I took Dad’s emergency money from on top of his dresser, and I went to Radio Shack on Amsterdam.
