Read the following excerpt from The Jungle Book by
Rudyard Kipling
And he grew and grew strong as a boy must grow who
does not know that he is learning any lessons, and who
has nothing in the world to think of except things to eat.
Mother Wolf told him once or twice that Shere Khan
was not a creature to be trusted, and that some day he
must kill Shere Khan; but though a young wolf would
have remembered that advice every hour, Mowgli
forgot it because he was only a boy-though he would
have called himself a wolf if he had been able to speak
in any human tongue.

to speak like a human.

* Before you read:

During the time this story takes place, India was a British colony. The colonial official works for the British government in India. The government attachés work for another country’s embassy in India. Finally, a naturalist is someone who studies animals and plants.

The country is India. A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their guests —army officers, and government attachés with their wives, and a visiting American naturalist —in their spacious dining room. It has a bare marble floor, open rafters, and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda.

A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who insists that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a colonel who says that they haven’t.

“A woman’s unfailing reaction in any crisis,” the colonel says, “is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of nerve control than a woman has. And that last ounce more is what counts.”

The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. With a slight gesture, she summons the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers to him. The boy’s eyes widen, and he quickly leaves the room.

Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.

The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing—bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. He looks up at the rafters —the likeliest place —but they are bare. Three corners of the room are empty, and in the fourth the servants are waiting to serve the next course. There is only one place left —under the table.

His first impulse is to jump back and warn the others, but he knows the commotion would frighten the cobra into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so arresting that it sobers everyone.

“I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count to three hundred — that’s five minutes —and not one of you is to move a muscle. Those who move will forfeit fifty rupees. Ready!”

The twenty people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying “two hundred and eighty” when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the cobra emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Screams ring out as he jumps to slam the veranda doors safely shut.

“You were right, Colonel!” the host exclaims. “A man has just shown us an example of perfect control.”

“Just a minute,” the American says, turning to his hostess. “Mrs.Wynnes, how did you know the cobra was in the room?”

A faint smile lights up the woman’s face as she replies. “Because it was crawling across my foot."

Rosie's family had come through New York's Ellis Island in 1907 with

such high hopes. They knew, of course, that the streets weren't really

paved with gold, but they looked forward to new opportunities.

Opportunities did come, but along with them came hardships. Though

the city was exciting, it was also overwhelming. Work was hard to find,

and it sometimes seemed as if no one had time to help or even notice

the new arrivals. Still, Rosie got used to her new life, and even though

she missed her old friends, she made new ones who helped her

through many hard times.

Which statement best explains how the setting affects the plot of this story?

One theme that could be taken from this story is that appearance are not an accurate reflection of reality

Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective," by Lorraine Jean Hopping.


At her lab she mixed the alginate powder with water to form a paste. Standing in front of a mirror, she scooped up a blob and spread it on her tongue. She pressed it down with her fingers to get out any air bubbles. Not bad, she thought. Tastes just like spearmint. She decided to make an extra-thick mold to make it easier to peel off. So, she added another gloopy blog—and another.


With her thickened tongue hanging out, Diane padded around the lab doing odds and ends while the material set. After about 10 minutes, she peeled off the alginate slowly and carefully. It was fragile—bendable and easy to tear—but it made an excellent impression of her tongue.


Which statement best describes Hopping’s viewpoint and purpose in this excerpt?

If you could control the brain of a rat with your thoughts, what would you tell it to do? Perhaps you'd to tell it to go away. Or, if you were feeling mischievous, maybe you'd encourage it to creep into a sibling's bed or scurry across the floor of a crowded room. For proof-of-concept, scientists kept it simple. They asked human volunteers to move a rat's tail simply by thinking about it—a feat they actually accomplished, with the aid of brain-to-brain interface technologies that transmitted electrical signals from the human to the rat brain.
The experiment, which was reported recently in the journal PLoS ONE, was based on computer-to-brain interfacing with electroencephalography (EEG) in humans and focused brain ultrasound in rats. The humans conveyed their intention of moving the rats' tails by watching a computer display of a flickering strobe light. EEG captured the electrical activity associated with their thought processes while watching the strobe. When EEG signals became synchronized with signals from the visual stimuli, a spike in signal amplitude occurred, which was detected by the computer and subsequently relayed to the ultrasound electronics, triggering a burst of focused ultrasound to the rat brain. The burst, focused onto a specific area of the motor cortex in the brain of the anesthetized rat, ultimately produced a flick of the tail. (See a video of the experiment here.)
The ability to control the thoughts of others is of special interest in the study of cognitive processes, and it could find applications in neurotherapy or even as a novel mode of communication in "brain-to-brain coupling." The practicality of these applications, however, remains to be explored.
In the meantime, in highlighting the fine line between fiction and reality, the new study gives us plenty to think about. Indeed, Ratatouille could become more human-like than he ever imagined.
