Next, a thin, slimy arm reached out from behind the leaves. Then, a scaly, green leg.
I thought it was an animal that needed help, so I stopped to see what it was. I sat with the headlights on, waiting for it to reappear. I was driving along a dark road late at night. I don’t visit this side of town often, and I was having a hard time figuring out where I was. It was a dark and stormy night.
As I crept along the road, I got an eerie feeling. Something didn’t feel right.
As it crossed in front of my headlights, it saw me in the driver’s seat. I froze.
Soon, I saw glowing red eyes peering out at me from the forest.
As it came out from behind the trees, I saw that it was a huge beast!
It must have been about six feet tall, with sharp fangs, black claws, and a huge yellow fin down its back. Suddenly, it let out a piercing shriek. I screamed.
Then, I saw something move in the bushes as my headlights passed. My heart jumped into my throat!
I sat there, stunned, for a few minutes. Once I caught my breath, I put the car in drive and raced into town, and didn’t stop until I got to the police station.
It walked closer on its webbed feet, leaving wet tracks on the road.
It peered into the windshield. I was so scared I almost cried!
She didn’t believe me, but as I left I saw her put my statement in a big box, filled with papers, labeled “GIANT REPTILE SIGHTINGS.” “Oh, please. That sounds ridiculous. You must have just been tired,” she said as she took my statement. Then, just as soon as it appeared, it lumbered off into the forest on the other side of the road.
I ran inside, covered in sweat, and told my story to an officer.

Read the passage.

Rain forests are home to many types of plants, trees, and wild animals. These plants and trees are all very important parts of the ecosystem and the survival of rain forest animals. Deforestation makes the availability of food, shelter, and safety rare for the plants and animals. Without security of the trees, these plants and animals become helpless and endangered.

Vulnerability to Sunlight

The high trees and leaves create a shield and give shade to the plants and animals. Without the protection of the tall trees, a rain forest can't stay at a proper temperature. Many of the plants and animals are unable to handle the change in temperatures. During the day, the trees shade the plants and animals from the hot sun. In the evening, when the temperatures go down, the trees keep the warmth inside. Therefore, these trees are very important because they keep the temperature normal for the plants and animals.

Vulnerability to Dehydration

The dense trees of the rainforest protect plants and animals from the hot sun, but they also maintain bodies of water. Without the protection of the trees, the temperature begins to rise. This means that the soil and streams in the rain forest dry up due to evaporation. This loss of water results in the dehydration of both animals and plants. Without water, nothing is able to survive. Everything needs water to grow and survive. When plants are not able to grow, the wild animals that eat the plants starve.

The two main ideas from the passage are that trees create a shield to protect plants and animals from the sunlight, and trees in the rainforest are responsible for maintaining a water supply for plants and animals. Select the best group of sentences from the text that support these ideas.

A. "Deforestation makes the availability of food, shelter, and safety rare for the plants and animals." . . . "This loss of water results in the dehydration of both animals and plants."
B. "During the day, the trees shade the plants and animals from the hot sun." . . . "The dense trees of the rainforest protect plants and animals from the hot sun, but they also maintain bodies of water."
C. "In the evening, when the temperatures go down, the trees keep the warmth inside." . . . "The dense trees of the rainforest protect plants and animals from the hot sun. . . "
D. "These plants and trees are all very important parts of the ecosystem and the survival of rain forest animals." . . . "Without the protection of the trees, the temperature begins to rise."

Excerpt from The First Tears — Based on an Inuit Folktale

Elizabeth Kibler


Once, a very long time ago, a man named Amak awoke in the morning and was very hungry—he wanted some dinner. Before the sun rose over the mountains, he left his family and promised to bring food home to them. Amak, whose stomach growled, knew his family was famished—and so was he. As he trudged along, Amak realized he had been walking for a long time. He wanted to find food quickly and take it home to his family.


Amak espied a large group of seals lying beside the ocean. Standing far away from the seals, Amak pondered how to catch one of the seals and lug it home as a prize to his family. The man became giddy at the thought. Then, he crept toward the large creatures; however, as he inched forward, the animals dove into the depths of the water and wiggled away from his grasp.


He collapsed onto the ground in sorrow. As Amak got up, he felt a feeling he did not recognize. Water started running down the sides of Amak’s face. He touched the warm water and tasted it. It was as salty as the ocean flowing in front of him. Amak felt himself making strange noises and choking as the water flowed from his eyes.

What do we know about Amak after reading the story?


A) Amak loves to cry when he's upset.

B) Amak cares a lot about his family.

C) Amak's favorite food is seal meat.

D) Amak is a skillful and capable hunter.

After six hours of playing Grand Larceny VII, he ate some pizza and fell asleep with a slice on his stomach and his feet on his book bag. When Kyle came home from school the next day, he was noticeably distraught. He balled up his report card and placed it inside a soup can in the garbage. He then flipped the soup can upside down in the garbage can and arranged loose pieces of trash over it. As he plopped down on the couch, he let out a sigh and picked up his controller.

Read “The Bundle of Sticks” by Aesop. Explain how the father is an inspirational character. Use details from the text to support your answer.

The Bundle of Sticks by Aesop A certain man had several Sons who were always quarrelling with one another, and, try as he might, he could not get them to live together in harmony. So he determined to convince them of their folly by the following means. Bidding them fetch a bundle of sticks, he invited each in turn to break it across his knee. All tried and all failed: and then he undid the bundle, and handed them the sticks one by one, when they had no difficulty at all in breaking them. "There, my boys," said he, "united you will be more than a match for your enemies: but if you quarrel and separate, your weakness will put you at the mercy of those who attack you."

Union is strength.

Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman. But the journey was not yet over. Before they could be admitted to the United States, immigrants had to pass through Ellis Island, which became the nation's chief immigrant processing center in 1892. There they would be questioned and examined. Those who could not pass all the exams would be detained; some would be sent back to Europe. And so their arrival in America was filled with great anxiety. Among the immigrants, Ellis Island was known as "Heartbreak Island." Which answer choice best paraphrases this excerpt? Ellis Island, the major processing center for immigrants in 1892, was called “Heartbreak Island” by the immigrants. If they failed to pass all the required examinations, they would be detained on the island, and perhaps even sent back to the country they came from. All in all, the process was frightening for an immigrant. Ellis Island was the main processing center for immigrants in 1892. There the immigrants were given exams and questioned by authorities. If they were not able to pass all the tests, they could be sent back to their homeland, or detained. Immigrants called Ellis Island “Heartbreak Island” for a reason. The United States government was unfair in the way it decided who could come into the country and who would be sent back to their native land. Instead of evaluating the immigrants so harshly, the officials should have been more welcoming. Before they could enter the United States, immigrants had to pass through Ellis Island, which was the country’s main processing center for immigrants in 1892. There they would be asked questions and tested. Those who could not pass all the tests would be kept on island; some would be sent back to their own country. Among the immigrants, Ellis Island was known as “Heartbreak Island.”

Read this entry from a blog about service dogs.

Lexie, an eight-month-old black Labrador retriever, is sleeping quietly at my feet. I can’t help but think that her soft, velvety ears and alert brown eyes would make her the perfect “doggie model” for pet magazines and pet store ads. However, Lexie will soon have a much more important job to do. In a few months, she will become the loyal companion and service dog for a young man who has been blind since birth. She will help him board public transportation, such as buses, subways, and trains, and she will help him safely cross busy intersections. Lexie will even help the young man avoid obstacles, such as high curbs and low overhangs. Like all dogs in our organization, Lexie has undergone months of specialized training to help a visually impaired person lead an active and independent life.
