Read the story Hummingbird and Heron:

Many years ago, when the world was so young that the sun was still new in the sky, there lived two friends. Heron was large and slow, with a long, gangly neck and big, floppy wings. Hummingbird was tiny and swift, with wings that moved so quickly that they buzzed and a slender beak as sleek as a needle.

Heron and Hummingbird both loved to eat fish from the river. Every morning, Heron would fish to her heart's content, eating until her stomach was so round and heavy that she had to waddle back to shore. Every afternoon, Hummingbird would fish and feast until he was so heavy that his tiny, buzzing wings could no longer keep him in the air. Heron and Hummingbird thought they were the luckiest birds in the world.

One afternoon, Hummingbird did not catch as many fish as usual. He fished and he fished, but his line came up empty more times than it ever had before. He flew to Heron's house.

"Heron! Heron!" he called. "Why have you eaten all the fish?"

Heron bustled to her door, angry and surprised at her friend's accusation.

"Me? Eat all the fish?" she squawked. "I barely caught anything this morning! My poor stomach has been growling all day."

The two birds began to argue over who had eaten more fish. Finally, Hummingbird raised his wing to stop the debate.

"I do not think there are enough fish left in the river for both of us," he said. "Let's have a race. Whoever reaches the dead tree on the other side of the hills first owns all the fish. The loser has to find something else to eat."

Heron agreed. They prepared to race. Hummingbird was certain that he would win. He watched Heron as she awkwardly stretched her wings and prepared to fly. This will be like catching fish in a barrel, he thought with a grin.

Hummingbird zoomed past Heron as soon as the race began. He flew so far ahead that he lost sight of her behind him. He slowed down as he passed a patch of wildflowers. They smelled so sweet that he had to stop and look at them more closely. Hummingbird just had to try some of their nectar. He drank until his belly was heavy and his eyelids drooped. Perhaps just a short nap, he thought, as he settled himself into a nest of soft leaves.

It was late in the day when Hummingbird woke up. He stretched his wings and glanced at the sky. He could just make out the shape of Heron, flying slowly but surely toward the dead tree. She was almost done with the race! Hummingbird zipped into the air and flew as fast as he could, but it was too late. Heron reached the tree first. From that day forward, Heron owned the fish, and Hummingbird lived on nectar.

Select the sentence from the story that supports the inference that Hummingbird feels confident about racing Heron.

A. He watched Heron as she awkwardly stretched her wings and prepared to fly.
B. zoomed past Heron as soon as the race began.
C. "I do not think there are enough fish left in the river for both of us," he said.
D. This will be like catching fish in a barrel, he thought with a grin.

"After spending several days in a hospital, she and her
husband discovered that part of their house remained
standing but needed much repair. Some materials were
provided by a group who also brought Bibles and instructions
to read certain sections. “Our God will help you,” they
said, and then sent a van to take them to church. This was
confusing to Nang because, according to Erich Krauss, “She
was a Buddhist. She loved going to the temple to pray with
the monks. When the wave had taken her under, she had
called out to the great Buddha.”
The church group never really provided the help Nang
wanted, so she took a job cleaning the house of a local official.
She then discovered “rice cookers, gas stoves, dishes, bowls”
stored in a room instead of being distributed to villagers who
needed them. When Nang asked for a rice cooker, “the leader’s
assistant would say she would get something tomorrow but the
tomorrow they talked about never came,” said Erich Krauss.
Wonderful assistance was donated to the tsunami "

Read the excerpt from the article Skara Brae:

The people of Skara Brae then farmed the surrounding lands, with evidence suggesting that they grew barley and other grains. They kept cows and pigs, and they fished in the ocean for a good part of their diet.

As the number of people grew, the village expanded. Covered tunnels and alleyways were built to connect all the homes. This would have protected people traveling from one house to another from cold winter weather. Because of the connections between the houses and the shared workspace, archaeologists believe that Skara Brae was a close-knit community.

Which of the following correctly paraphrases the excerpt?


Because the community of Skara Brae wanted to be closer, they built tunnels between their houses in order to move their cattle more easily.

The number of people living in Skara Brae increased because the tunnels they built between houses meant they never had to go outside.

The cows and pigs that the people of Skara Brae kept helped them build tunnels between houses. They did this because they were a close-knit community.

As the close-knit community of Skara Brae grew, the farmers and fishermen built tunnels to connect their homes. This allowed them to visit without venturing out into the cold.

When the scarlet cardinal tells
Her dream to the dragonfly,
And the lazy breeze makes a nest in the trees,
And murmurs a lullaby,
It's July.

When the tangled cobweb pulls
The cornflower's cap awry,
And the lilies tall lean over the wall
To bow to the butterfly,
It's July.

When the heat like a mist veil floats,
And poppies flame in the rye,
And the silver note in the streamlet's throat
Has softened almost to a sigh,
It's July.

When the hours are so still that time
Forgets them, and lets them lie
Underneath petals pink till the night stars wink
At the sunset in the sky,
It's July.

Which statement best expresses the theme of "July"?

Summer is a calm and peaceful time of year.

Nature is cruel and cares not for human concerns.
