WHAT IS COLOR-CODING ALL ABOUT

Notice what tells you each of these facts. Do you know the temperature by the feeling of the air on your skin, or by looking at a thermometer hanging on the wall?

If you didn't have a clock, could you guess what time it was from the quality of the light or other clues? What tells you what the weather is like?

Read the excerpt from "Early Victorian Tea Set." But a loving, tranquil cup of tea has a violent hinterland. When all tea came into Europe from China, the British East India Company traded opium for silver and used that silver to buy tea. The trade was so important that it brought the two countries to war. The first of the conflicts, which we still refer to as the Opium Wars – they were in fact just as much about tea – broke out more or less as our teapot was leaving the Wedgwood factory. Partly because of these difficulties with China, in the 1830s the British set up plantations in the area around Calcutta and Indian tea was exempted from import duty to encourage demand. What is the author's viewpoint in this excerpt? England's demand for tea encouraged international cooperation. England's demand for tea caused conflict around the world. Britain planted tea in China because Britain was at war with India. Britain traded silver to buy tea, which resulted in high taxes.

Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman. Edward Corsi, who later became United States Commissioner of Immigration, was a ten-year-old Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907: My first impressions of the New World will always remain etched in my memory, particularly that hazy October morning when I first saw Ellis Island. The steamer Florida, fourteen days out of Naples, filled to capacity with 1600 natives of Italy, had weathered one of the worst storms in our captain's memory; and glad we were, both children and grown-ups, to leave the open sea and come at last through the Narrows into the Bay. My mother, my stepfather, my brother Giuseppe, and my two sisters, Liberta and Helvetia, all of us together, happy that we had come through the storm safely, clustered on the foredeck for fear of separation and looked with wonder on this miraculous land of our dreams.
