You must think it's normal to be awake during the day and sleep at night, but that's not true for all animals. Humans are diurnal, the scientific term for tending to be up and about during the hours when the sun is up. Being awake in daytime has some obvious advantages: It's warm, it's easy to see, and at least for humans, sunshine provides much-needed vitamin D and also makes us feel good.

But for many animals, being up at night, or being nocturnal, is a great arrangement. Small animals who are in danger from predators can gather food more safely in the dark. And some animals can fix their way around by using senses other than sight - bats, for example, use their sense of hearing to navigate. In hot climates, it can also be a good thing to avoid the bright sun and spend the day curled up in a cozy cave or den.

A. Sunshine provides much-needed vitamin D and also makes us feel good
B. Humans are diurnal
C. It can also be a good thing to avoid the bright sun
D. It's normal to be awake during the day and sleep at night

Read "The Debt” by Paul Laurence Dunbar.

This is the debt I pay
Just for one riotous day,
Years of regret and grief,
Sorrow without relief.

Pay it I will to the end —
Until the grave, my friend,
Gives me a true release —
Gives me the clasp of peace.

Slight was the thing I bought,
Small was the debt I thought,
Poor was the loan at best —
God! but the interest!

What does the stress on the words at the beginning and end of lines 9 and 10 help show about the speaker?

He purchased something without knowing how much it would cost.
He thought for a while before purchasing the small thing he wanted.
He did not know that he would eventually have to pay back the loan.
He did not realize that a thing so small could affect his life so greatly.

Select the correct text in the passage. Read this excerpt from the Japanese declaration of war. Which sentence or phrase conveys a tone of frustration? Although there has been reestablished the National Government of China, with which Japan had effected neighborly intercourse and cooperation, the regime which has survived in Chungking, relying upon American and British protection, still continues its fratricidal opposition. Eager for the realization of their inordinate ambition to dominate the Orient, both America and Britain, giving support to the Chungking regime, have aggravated the disturbances in East Asia. Moreover these two Powers, inducing other countries to follow suit, increased military preparations on all sides of Our Empire to challenge Us. They have obstructed by every means Our peaceful commerce and finally resorted to a direct severance of economic relations, menacing gravely the existence of Our Empire. Patiently have We waited and long have We endured, in the hope that Our government might retrieve the situation in peace.

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!

Mythology, in the time of ancient Greece, was used not only to explain various phenomena that we now understand via scientific truths, but to account for the origins of humankind. It answered questions like, “What happens after death?” and, “Why does humanity exist at all?” Myths were also often entertaining, and sometimes humorous and intriguing; remember that there weren’t TV episodes or movies in ancient Greece, so people had to entertain themselves in other ways. But more than that, myths told people how to live, and how to tell right from wrong. These stories included morals intended to teach valuable life lessons and instill ethics in their readers.

What is a summary for the story from It's Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens

Item 5
Read the excerpt from “The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle.”

I called upon my friend, Sherlock Holmes, on the second morning after Christmas, to wish him a happy holiday. He was lounging upon the sofa in a purple dressing gown among a pile of crumpled morning newspapers. He was peering through a magnifying glass at an old, shabby black hat, cracked in several places.

“Am I interrupting you?” I asked.

“Not at all. I am glad to have a friend with whom I can discuss my findings.”

I sat down in his armchair and warmed my hands before his crackling fire. A sharp frost had set in, and the windows were thick with the ice crystals. “I suppose,” I remarked, “that, homely as it looks, that hat has some deadly story linked on to it. Is it the clue that will guide you to the solution of a mystery, or the punishment of a crime?”

“No, no. No crime,” said Sherlock Holmes, laughing. “Only one of those odd little events that happen when you have four million people crowded together within the space of a few square miles.”

Question 1
Part A

What can readers conclude based on the details in the text?


Dr. Watson mostly takes the lead on solving crimes.

City life has become tiresome for Holmes.

Holmes values talking with Dr. Watson about his cases.

Holmes can be lazy about doing detective work.
Question 2
Part B

Which evidence from the text best supports the answer to Part A?


“’Not at all. I am glad to have a friend with whom I can discuss my findings.’”

“’Only one of those odd little events that happen when you have four million people crowded together within the space of a few square miles.’”

“He was lounging upon the sofa in a purple dressing gown among a pile of crumpled morning newspapers.”

“’I suppose,’ I remarked, ‘that, homely as it looks, that hat has some deadly story linked on to it.’”

In both poems, the speaker notes that the person on the quest has grown old. How does age relate to each quest? How does it affect the mood of each poem?
