Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

She was rambling on in this way when she reached the wood: it looked very cool and shady. “Well, at any rate it's a great comfort,” she said as she stepped under the trees, “after being so hot, to get into the—into WHAT?” she went on, rather surprised at not being able to think of the word. “I mean to get under the—under the—under THIS, you know!” putting her hand on the trunk of the tree. “What DOES it call itself, I wonder? I do believe it's got no name—why, to be sure it hasn't!”

She stood silent for a minute, thinking: then she suddenly began again. “Then it really HAS happened, after all! And now, who am I? I WILL remember, if I can! I'm determined to do it!” But being determined didn't help much, and all she could say, after a great deal of puzzling, was, “L, I KNOW it begins with L!”

Which question might a reader ask to gain a better understanding of this excerpt?

Why does Alice choose to step through the looking glass?
Why does Alice forget the name of the woods and her own name?
Why does Alice want to play chess with all the others in the garden?
Why does Alice talk to the gnat about the looking-glass insects?

02.02 The Great North American Circus

There was great excitement in Smyrna, especially among the boys. Barlow's Great American Circus in its triumphal progress from state to state was close at hand, and immense yellow posters announcing its arrival were liberally displayed on fences and barns, while smaller bills were put up in the post office, the hotel, and the principal stores, and distributed from house to house.
It was the largest circus that had ever visited Smyrna. At least a dozen elephants marched with ponderous steps in its preliminary procession, while clowns, acrobats, giants, dwarfs, fat women, cannibals, and hairy savages from Tibet and Madagascar were among the strange wonders that were to be seen at each performance for the small sum of fifty cents, children half price.
For weeks the young people had been looking forward to the advent of this marvelous world of curiosities, and the country papers from farther east had given glowing accounts of the great show, which was pronounced greater and more gorgeous than in any previous year. But it may be as well to reproduce, in part, the description given in the posters:
BARLOW'S GREAT NORTH AMERICAN CIRCUS.
Now in its triumphal march across the continent, will
give two grand performances,
AT SMYRNA
on the afternoon and evening of May 18th.
Never in all its history has this
unparalleled show embraced a greater variety of attractions,
or included a larger number of world-famous
acrobats, clowns, bare back riders, rope walkers, trapeze
artists, and star performers,
in addition to a colossal menagerie, comprising
elephants, tigers, lions, leopards,
and other wild animals in great variety.
All this and far more, including a hundred
DARING ACTS,
can be seen for the trifling sum of fifty cents;
children half price.
COME ONE! COME ALL!
Two boys paused to read this notice, pasted with pictures of elephants and circus performers on the high board fence near Stoddard's grocery store. They were Dan Clark and Christopher Watson, called Kit for short.

What is the main idea of this paragraph??

Confucius is an important Chinese historical figure who adopted and taught a set of morals and life lessons that some people still practice. The morals and life lessons showed how the ruling class of China should behave. Confucius gave up a good-paying government job to teach about what he called “beautiful conduct.” His followers, called disciples, listened to his teachings and wrote them down. These written documents formed a social code, or way that a society should behave. The social code was passed down to each generation of the ruling class. Confucius believed that if those in authority set a good example, those in the lower classes would follow accordingly. (30 points)

Voting for the Academy Awards. Have you ever wondered how the winners of the Academy Awards are selected? Did you know that the selection process actually starts months before the presentation of the awards in late February? First, in January, nomination ballots are sent to members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. For most award categories, five nomination are allowed. The Academy's philosophy is that only people who work in a particular part of the motion picture industry are qualified to make nominations for an award that relates to that part of the industry. So, for example, only directors can nominate their fellow directors. The Academy believes that people in the same field can make better decisions about who is best qualified for an award. Next, members return their secret nomination ballots. Protecting the secrecy of the members' ballots is an important rule behind the selection process. Then, a company called PricewaterhouseCoopers determines the nomination results. Shortly after that, at the end of January, the nomination results are announced. Early in February, final ballots are mailed to members of the Academy. Then, members vote and return their ballots to PricewaterhouseCoopers. Next, the company determines the final results, but they are kept a strict secret. Finally, the winners are revealed when their names are read from the famous envelopes opened at the Awards presentation in late February. the tense anticipation about who the winners are is over at last! Left, a close-up of Oscar statues.

School uniforms are good for the development of children. First of all, everyone is dressed similarly. If nobody has "better" clothes than others, then no one can threaten others simply because of their clothes. In many schools, ganging up on others because of what they are wearing is already normal, and uniforms are a way to protect the children from such acts. School uniforms also keep everyone from having to buy expensive brands of clothes for school, which relieves parents and takes the pressure of being "cool" away from the children. School uniforms also help children from becoming overly concerned about keeping up with the latest fashions. This gives young children more time to concentrate on important topics. In general it is possible to say, that school uniforms have a good influence on most children.
