HAIKU
Five dead leaves falling
upward onto the branches
of a bare oak tree

THE END OF WINTER
As I approached, I startled a group of sparrows that had been feeding in the grass, and they flew up to the safety of an old oak tree. It was still early enough in the year that the branches of the tree were bare. But the bird songs and the warm sun made me feel certain that winter was ending. As I watched, the sparrows dropped from their high perches and settled again in the grass to hunt for food. Like winter, I was just an interruption.

Which is the best description of the difference in how the poem and the story connect the sparrows to the coming of spring?

A.
The poem connects them to dead leaves; the story connects them to the warmth of the sun.
B.
The poem connects them to dead leaves; the story connects their return to the ground to the return of spring.
C.
The poem connects them to leaves returning to the branches; the story connects them to the warmth of the sun.

The poem connects them to leaves returning to the branches; the story connects their return to the ground to the return of spring.

adapted from To My Old Master

This letter was written by Jourdon Anderson, a person who escaped slavery during the Civil War. The letter is addressed to the man who once held him in slavery, Colonel P.H. Anderson. After the Civil War, Colonel Anderson’s plantation was failing, and he wrote Jourdon to ask him to return to work the fields and help him save his business.

Dayton, Ohio, August 7, 1865.

To my old Master, Colonel P. H. Anderson, Big Spring, Tennessee.

Sir:

I got your letter, and was glad to find that you had not forgotten Jourdon, and that you wanted me to come back and live with you again, promising to do better for me than anybody else can. I have often felt uneasy about you. Although you shot at me twice before I left you, I did not want to hear of your being hurt and am glad you are still living. I would have gone back to see you all when I was working in the Nashville Hospital, but one of the neighbors told me that Henry intended to shoot me if he ever got a chance . . .

I want to know particularly what the good chance is you propose to give me. I am doing tolerably well here. I get $25 a month, with victuals and clothing; have a comfortable home for Mandy (the folks call her Mrs. Anderson), and the children, Milly, Jane, and Grundy, go to school and are learning well . . .

As to my freedom, which you say I can have, there is nothing to be gained on that score, as I got my free papers in 1864 from the Provost-Marshal-General of the Department of Nashville. Mandy says she would be afraid to go back without some proof that you were disposed to treat us justly and kindly; and we have concluded to test your sincerity by asking you to send us our wages for the time we served you. This will make us forget and forgive old scores and rely on your justice and friendship in the future. I served you faithfully for thirty-two years, and Mandy twenty years. At $25 a month for me, and $2 a week for Mandy, our earnings would amount to $11,680. Add to this the interest for the time our wages have been kept back, and deduct what you paid for our clothing, and three doctor’s visits to me, and pulling a tooth for Mandy, and the balance will show what we are in justice entitled to.

From your old servant,

Jourdon Anderson

P.S.— Say howdy to George Carter and thank him for taking the pistol from you when you were shooting at me.

Read the excerpt from Team Moon.

The trouble with option 2 was that the venting might push the fuel to an unstable condition. Or, another possible outcome of the “burping”: what if the landing gear hadn’t deployed correctly? Could any movement, or any resulting burst—no matter how small—tip the LM over? Many a voice in the debate thought the safest option was to abort—now! But that opinion was quickly overruled by the Grumman and NASA leadership (who were confident of the landing gear), and the consensus of the leaders was that it would be safe to gently, gently burp the engine.

Why does the author use a problem-solution text structure in the paragraph?

to help the reader understand the astronauts’ feelings about the landing
to help the reader understand the intense pressure of the situation
to help the reader understand the similarities between the leaders’ options
to help the reader understand the process of “burping” an engine

Last year's Newburgh Film Festival was the most well attended in its short history. This should come as no surprise, though, as attendance has risen gradually in each of its nine years. This year, for the 10th anniversary, the festival will be moved from the Richmond High School auditorium to the Hudgins Performing Arts Center in downtown Newburgh. The main attraction, scheduled for the Saturday night of the weekend festival, is the premiere of Claude Lee's documentary Helper Monkey, which will be followed by a Q&A with the director himself. Tickets for this event are nearly sold out, but they can be purchased, along with all other festival passes, at the Hudgins Center box office or at any Quallick Farms grocery store.

Major cities all over the world are changing color. The tall gray buildings that make up the landscape of urban environments are becoming greener. They aren't getting a fresh coat of paint. Instead, their roofs are being covered in grass and small shrubbery. Many rooftops are beginning to look like nature parks. This change isn't just for fun. It is an attempt to add plants that can clean city air, absorb waste water, and generally add beauty to the city environment.

Green roofs started in Europe and are now gaining a strong foothold in the United States. They are a way to add a little nature to the city environment. People plant vegetable gardens, flowers, and decorative grasses on their rooftops. One green roof in New York City is built on top of a processing and distribution facility. It is the largest green roof in the country. It has survived snow and rain, given employees a beautiful place for a lunch break, and helped clean the city air.

It is more expensive to build a green roof than it is to lay asphalt or shingles. The basic green roof requires a frame and a waterproof membrane. It also requires gravel for drainage. Special material needs to be laid to retain moisture. Of course, soil for planting and a barrier that prevents roots from penetrating the building are also necessary materials for a green roof. Despite the extra cost, the trend is growing.

The city of Chicago now has more green roofs than any other U.S. city. There are 7 million square feet of green roofs planted across the city. Toronto, Canada, is the first city in the western hemisphere to mandate green roofs on all new tall buildings. Green roofs are beneficial to the environment and the cities that build them. A recent study in Toronto suggested that if 75 percent of the flat roofs were greened, the city could save $37 million a year on storm water management and energy bills. If this is true, we may begin to see more and more green added to cities around the world.

What evidence does the author use to support the idea that green roofs are beneficial despite their cost?

A. It is more expensive to build a green roof than it is to lay asphalt or shingles on a roof.
B. Green roofs started in Europe and are now gaining a strong foothold in the United States.
C. The city could save $37 million a year on storm water management and energy bills.
D. Toronto, Canada, is the first city in the western hemisphere to mandate green roofs.
