The Story of Native American Corn
Edward Eggleston

1 When the Pilgrims came to Cape Cod, they sent out Miles Standish and some other men to look through the country and find a good place for them to settle. Standish tried to find some of the Native Americans in order to make friends with them, but the Native Americans ran away whenever they saw him coming. One day he found a heap of sand. He knew it had been lately piled up, because he could see the marks of hands on the sand where the Native Americans had patted it down. Standish and his men dug up this heap. They soon came to a little old basket full of Native American corn. When they had dug further, they found a very large new basket full of fine corn, which had been lately gathered.

2 The Europeans, who had never seen it before, thought Native American corn was very beautiful. Some of the ears were yellow, some were red. On other ears blue and yellow grains were mixed. Standish and his men said it was a "very goodly sight."

3 They wanted the corn for seed. They made up their mind to pay the Native Americans whenever they could find them. The next summer they found out who were the owners of this buried corn, and paid them for all the corn they had taken. If they had not found this corn, they would not have had any to plant the next spring, and so they would have starved to death.

4 The people that were with Miles Standish settled at Plymouth. They were the first that came to live in New England. A Native American named Squanto came to live with the white people at Plymouth. Squanto was born at this very place. He had been carried away to England by a sea captain. Then he had been brought back by another captain to his own country. When he got back to Plymouth, he found that all the people of his village had died from a great sickness. As he could speak some English, and as all his own tribe were dead, he now came to live with the white people

The Moment
John Malone

I heard there were whales lunging out of the water
At Henley South.
“Sleek and smooth as peach slices,”
One eyewitness said.
Whales!
I finished what I was doing and went down
For a look,
But the sea was flat and empty.
There were only a pair of cyclists on the other side
Doing up their clips
And a pelican among the gulls gazing wistfully at a spot
Where something might have been.
No sun was out. The sky was whale-gray.
I had missed the moment

Read the text "How Ice Cream Is Made":

Ice cream is a frozen blend of sweetened cream and air with added flavoring. This is how it is made commercially.

Necessary Ingredients:

Dairy products, including milk, cream, and butter fat

Sugar

Eggs

Flavoring

Approved additives to prevent ice crystals during production process

Production Steps:

Step 1: To start, the ingredients are carefully measured and then combined together. The dairy ingredients, solids, and additives are blended well to ensure the liquid and dry components are completely mixed.

Step 2: Next, the mix is pasteurized. This means it is heated to high temperatures to remove any bacteria which could be found in the raw ingredients. Pasteurization can occur at 155°F for 30 minutes or 175°F for 25 seconds. The temperatures used to pasteurize ice cream need to be higher than those used for milk because the mixture includes high-fat dairy sources, sweeteners, and egg yolks.

Step 3: Following pasteurization, the ice cream mix is homogenized. This occurs when the fat globules in the cream are broken down into smaller parts through vigorous mixing. Once homogenized, the ice cream should be very smooth and uniform, meaning free of bubbles. Now the ice cream will be easier to whip and will not melt as fast.

Step 4: The next step is to let the ice cream mixture stand for at least four hours. During this time, the fat cools and forms crystals.

Step 5: A special barrel freezer is then used to gradually freeze the ice cream. The machine also pumps clean air into the mix. This keeps the ice cream soft and allows it to absorb the different flavorings. Without the air, the mixture would become as hard as an ice cube.

Step 6: During freezing, flavoring can be added. Ice cream flavors have moved on from plain vanilla and chocolate to include hundreds of combinations using fruit, nuts, candy, cookies, and other baked goods.

Step 7: Finally, the ice cream is packaged and put into a blast freezer where the temperature is between -22 to -40 Fahrenheit.

Select the evidence from the text that supports the inference that pasteurizing is an essential step to making ice cream.

A. Following pasteurization, the ice cream mix is homogenized.
B. Pasteurization can occur at 155°F for 30 minutes or 175°F for 25 seconds.
C. The dairy ingredients, solids, and additives are blended well to ensure the liquid and dry components are completely mixed.
D. The mix is heated to high temperatures to remove any bacteria, which could be found in the raw ingredients.

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 this excerpt from "The Day the Gulls Went Crazy" by Susan E. Quinlan.

Capturing and rebanding an adult gull is much more difficult than capturing a small flightless chick. Resourceful as always, Larry developed a special capture technique. He rigged up a tool using a rope noose, monofilament fishing line, and a fishing pole. Knowing the fight a two-and-a-half-pound adult gull might put up, he scared the bird off its nest and replaced its fragile eggs with dummy eggs. Next, he laid the noose around the nest and moved away. A trail of fishing line led from the noose to the fishing pole and reel in his hands. Crouching low, Larry waited for the return of the bird in need of rebanding. When the moment was right, he reeled in the line, tightening the noose around the gulls legs.

What is the author's purpose in this paragraph?

A. to describe what Larry does with the gulls' eggs

B. to emphasize the materials that Larry used

C. to explain how Larry used his cleverness to capture gulls

D. to highlight how defensive gulls are of their nests
