Protecting the Pandas SpringBreakPracticeDDH13 (SpringBreakPracticeDDH13) Name:_____________________________________________ Date:________________________ Fishing Fun "Beep! Beep! Beep!" roared the alarm clock. Juanita turned the alarm off and looked at the clock. She closed her eyes and wondered why she had to wake up at 4:00 A.M. to go fishing. "Juanita! Wake up!" Juanita rolled out of bed quickly and got dressed. As she and Uncle Jack walked out the door, Juanita's mom handed her two bags. "One is for breakfast, the other is for lunch," she said and kissed her on the cheek. In the truck Juanita asked Uncle Jack a million questions. "What kind of fish will we catch? When will we be at the lake? What will we use to catch the fish?" Because it was Juanita's first fishing trip, Uncle Jack calmly answered each question. Finally, they arrived at Lake West Point and put on their lifejackets. As they got in the boat, Uncle Jack gave Juanita her first fishing job—untying the boat from the dock. She put one foot up on the edge of the boat. Plop! Into the water went one of the bags. "Oh no! Our lunch is gone!" Juanita cried. But she soon forgot about the lost lunch. Uncle Jack found the perfect fishing spot. He showed Juanita how to bait the hook and throw the line into the water. Faster than you can say "catfish," Uncle Jack caught a fish. "You will get your turn," said Uncle Jack. A strong wind began to blow. "Uncle Jack, do you think it is going to…" Juanita's question was interrupted by a tug on her line. She had caught a fish! She could not wait to compare her fish to Uncle Jack's fish. Imagine her surprise when her hard work only brought up plants from the lake! "Fishing is fun," Uncle Jack said with a wink of his eye. Before Juanita could answer, the sky opened and hard rain fell. "So, Uncle Jack," Juanita asked, "is fishing always this much fun?" Uncle Jack laughed as he handed Juanita a raincoat. 1. Which statement is probably true about how people all over the world catch fish? A. They use the same type of fishing bait as Juanita. B. They stop fishing when it starts to rain. C. They get up at the same time to catch fish. D. They use some type of pole or tool to catch fish. 2. What is the meaning of the prefix in the underlined word? untying the boat from the dock A. opposite of B. again C. after D. for 3. What did Juanita's mom do that showed she cared for her daughter? A. She gave her food for breakfast and lunch. B. She reminded her to wear a lifejacket. C. She made sure she had a raincoat. D. She gave her a fishing pole to use. 1 SpringBreakPracticeDDH13 (SpringBreakPracticeDDH13) Finding a fossil is fun, and so is making one. Read the directions on how to do it and then answer the questions that follow. Activity: Make Your Own Fossil Finding a real fossil is terrific! Fossils are rocks that contain the imprint of bones, shells, or leaves that existed thousands—maybe even millions—of years ago. You may not find a real fossil very often—or ever. But you can make your own fossil. Here are directions for making your own fossil. You will need: · 1 small bag of plaster of Paris (ask at a hardware store) · Water · 1 empty coffee can · 1 old aluminum pie or cake pan · Something to stir with (like a paint-stirring stick) · Some small objects to press into your fossil (shells, leaves, stones, buttons, bottle caps, even your hand will do) · A piece of picture-hanging wire (if you want to hang your fossil on the wall) · A cup How to do it: 1. Spread newspapers on the floor or table where you are going to work. (This can get messy!) 2. Collect your "fossil objects." 3. Pour a cup of plaster of Paris into the coffee can. 4. Stir in enough water until it looks like thick pancake batter, following the directions on the box. 5. Pour the plaster of Paris mixture into the aluminum pan. 6. Place your fossil objects on the plaster and press down firmly. 7. If you want to hang your fossil on the wall when it's dry, twist a piece of wire into a loop and stick it into the top of the mold. 8. Wait 5 minutes, then carefully remove the objects. 9. Let the plaster dry, remove it from the pan, and YOU HAVE MADE A FOSSIL!! If you can't get plaster of Paris, you can also make a fossil with clay. 4. Which would NOT be good to use to make a fossil? A. a chicken feather B. dead leaf C. a piece of paper D. fish bones 5. Someone might read this story to A. find a project for science class. B. learn how to make plaster of Paris. C. discover where to look for fossils. D. find out how fossils form in nature. 2 SpringBreakPracticeDDH13 (SpringBreakPracticeDDH13) 6. When making a fossil, the coffee can is used to A. wash the pie pan. B. pour the water. C. hold the fossil objects you collect. D. mix the plaster of Paris. 7. What can you use in place of plaster of Paris to make a fossil? A. flour B. glue C. clay D. sugar 8. You must remove the "fossil objects" 5 minutes after you put them in place. If you do not do so, what will happen? A. They will not leave an imprint. B. The plaster of Paris will not get hard. C. They will get stuck in the hard plaster. D. They will sink into the plaster. 9. The writer gives step 4 to tell how A. thick the plaster of Paris must be. B. long to stir the mixture. C. much plaster of Paris to use. D. to make pancake batter. 3 SpringBreakPracticeDDH13 (SpringBreakPracticeDDH13) "Good Earth Necklace" gives directions for making a necklace out of—dirt! Read the directions and then answer the questions that follow. Good Earth Necklace by Kathy Ross We need good dirt to grow the plants and trees we need to live. Here is what you need: · clean dirt, such as packaged potting soil · white glue · cup and spoon · old plastic or china plate for drying · paintbrush · blue and green poster paint · clear nail polish · small paper clip · scissors · blue yarn Here is what you do: 1. Use the cup and spoon to mix about two tablespoons of dirt with enough white glue to hold it together. Roll as much of the dirt mixture as you need to form a small ball for your necklace. Push one end of a paper clip into the ball to form a hanger. Wash the cup and spoon immediately. Let the ball dry on an old plate for several days until it is very hard. 2. Paint the ball blue. When the blue paint has dried, paint on green land forms. Let the green paint dry. 3. Tie a long piece of blue yarn through the paper clip to make your necklace. Paint the ball with clear nail polish and hang it up to dry. Remember to wash off your drying plate to save and use with other projects. 10. How long will it probably take to make a good earth necklace, from start to finish? A. two to four days B. one day C. one hour D. two weeks 4 SpringBreakPracticeDDH13 (SpringBreakPracticeDDH13) 11. Which will happen if you forget to push the paper clip into the ball? A. The ball will fall apart into little pieces. B. The ball will not dry all the way. C. You will not be able to paint the ball. D. You will have no way to hang the ball from the yarn. 12. A person would read "Good Earth Necklace" MOST LIKELY to A. find out how to make a world map. B. learn more about plants and the soil. C. find a good project for Earth Day. D. learn more about the Earth. 13. Which is NOT in the directions? A. how long the yarn must be B. how much dirt to use C. what kind of paint to use D. how to make the dirt into a ball Sometimes children are made to do things they do not wish to do. "My Mom Made Me Go to Camp" tells how one child felt about going to camp. Read it and answer the questions. from My Mom Made Me Go to Camp by Judith Delton "Camp," I said. "I'm not old enough to go to camp." "Sure you are," said my mom. "Camp is fun. You will weave baskets and swim and fish and learn the names of wildflowers. You will put up a tent and gather firewood. You will roast hot dogs and marshmallows over an open fire." The marshmallows sounded like fun. The grass got greener. The sun got warmer. Flowers started coming up in our yard. And school was out. I knew it was summer. "We have to shop for your camp things," said my mother. "What things?" I said. "Shoes and a swimsuit and a sleeping bag. Shorts and bug spray and a first-aid kit." "I don't want to sleep in a sleeping bag. I hate bugs. And I don't want any first aid." "You'll have a good time," said my mother. "We have a lot to do. I have to sew labels in all your clothes." "Don't they know who I am?" I cried.

  • Brian Seidman
    ABSTRACT AND NOTHING BUT by Brian H. Seidman Steven Matthews’ family encouraged him to pursue acting, until rejection turns him away. Betrayed by those he trusted—their love keeping them from telling the truth—Matthews closes himself off from the world. Later, as a programmer, co-workers take advantage of Matthews, ruining his career. Disillusioned, unable to accept the help he needs, Matthews hires the company’s doorman as the most unlikely confidant. His request to the wizened James is as initially inexplicable as James’ acceptance, to take a stipend to tell Matthews the truth about himself. What follows is a picaresque San Francisco journey, from the Haight to the Golden Gate Bridge to the Tenderloin, from the minimum wage grind to the jetsetting lives of movie stars. Throughout, praise, criticism, lies, and the truth test their artificial friendship, examining truth in personal relationships and questioning the responsibilities we have to others as employees, as friends, and as human beings.

Scienze e Tecnologie Biomediche, Univ. Udine, Italia “Central” and “peripheral” limitations to oxidative metabolism during exercise were evaluated on 10 young males following a 35-day horizontal bed rest (BR). Incremental (IE), moderate- and heavy-intensity constant-load exercises (CLE) were carried out on a cycloergometer before and after (1-2 days after subjects rose from bed) BR. Pulmonary gas exchange, heart rate (HR) and cardiac output (Q) (by impedance cardiography), skeletal muscle (vastus lateralis) and brain (frontal cortex) oxygenation (by near-infrared spectroscopy) were determined. After BR, “peak” (values at exhaustion during IE) workload (Wpeak), peak O2 uptake (VO2peak), peak stroke volume, Qpeak and peak skeletal muscle O2 extraction were decreased (-18%, -18%, -22%, -19%, -33%, respectively), whereas HRpeak was unaffected. The gas exchange threshold was ~60% of VO2 peak both before and after BR. The efficiency of cycling (ratio between external mechanical power output and oxidative energy output) was unaffected by BR. At the highest workloads brain oxygenation data suggest an increased O2 extraction, unaffected by BR. VO2 kinetics during CLE (same % of Wpeak before and after BR) were slower (time constant of the “fundamental” component 31.1±2.0 s before vs.

Rich2 1Department of Languages, Literature and Philosophy, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah, USA 2Department of Health Sciences, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah, USA Email: [email protected] Received February 1st, 2013; revised March 2nd, 2013; accepted March 10th, 2013 Whether America has realized President Herbert Hoover’s 20th-century vision of a “chicken in every pot”, there is a television in nearly every home. Powerful and accessible, television programs, whether explic- itly, convey values and messages to viewers and, thus, can play a role in reifying the status quo or affect- ing social change. Given comedy programming’s roots in radio and Vaudeville, it is no surprise that a re- current theme in situational comedies is the “war between the sexes”. Despite a surfeit of studies ex- amining specific programs, however, there exists no comprehensive project exploring how gender depic- tions have changed since television’s proliferation in post-WWII America. This time span is especially important because it is bisected by second wave feminism. Regarding gender, TV shows need not fortify traditional ideals. But how far has television come? Findings from a pilot study employing a Grounded Theory analysis of selected US sitcoms from 1952 to 2004 suggest that, regardless of the progressive na- ture of some programming, the most-watched sitcoms reaffirm mainstream stereotypes of women.
