General Gates's troops held their ground. Benedict Arnold, one of Gates's generals, argued for a counterattack that would smash the British force. Gates, outraged that Arnold would challenge his order, took away his command. But the rash Arnold saw a chance to strike a crucial blow. He galloped through the crossfire of both armies, inspiring his men. A bullet struck his leg, but he rode on, leading the final assault that shattered the British fortifications. If he had died of his wounds that day, Arnold would be remembered as one of the great heroes of the Revolutionary War.

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.

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

Choose the sentence that BEST summarizes the story.
A) The Indians and Miles Standish were friends.
B) Corn was a very important crop to the Pilgrims and Indians.
C) The Pilgrims had never seen corn before coming to Cape Cod.
D) Miles Standish was the first European to settle at Plymouth.

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

Arnie went downstairs to get the newspaper for his dad. As usual, it was stuck in the front bushes. As Arnie reached for the paper, something caught his eye. A small, feathery lump sat under one of the bushes. Arnie leaned down for a closer look and gasped when he saw it was the mother sparrow. But, she was not chirping—she was hurt. Arnie and his dad drove to the wildlife center. A smiling woman greeted them as they entered the center. They handed her the shoebox, and she delivered it to a veterinarian, which is an animal doctor.

"You did the right thing by bringing her here," the woman said when she returned from delivering the box. "Many people cause animals more harm when they try to help them. They don't think to bring the animals to a trained expert as you did. You can come back tomorrow to check on her." When Arnie woke up the next day, he heard the father sparrow and the babies chirping cheerfully outside his window. Arnie and his father returned to the wildlife center and talked to the veterinarian. She thanked them for bringing the bird to the center instead of trying to fix her wing themselves.

"Can we take her back to her babies today?" Arnie asked.

"Yes, she is as good as new," the doctor answered. "You made the right choice to bring her here. I am sure her babies will be grateful."
What did the doctor mean when he said, "Yes, she is as good as new?"

A) The mother sparrow is well.
B) The mother sparrow likes her new nest.
C) The mother sparrow is new to her surroundings.
D) The mother sparrow needs more time with the doctor.

Drama
by J. Robbins

The theater room was quiet as Paulina and Roseanne slipped in through the door and shut it quickly behind them. They looked around in confusion until I called out to them. The identical looks of relief on their faces were almost comical.
“Calm down,” I whispered. “We aren’t doing anything wrong. The founding members of the drama club are allowed into the theater room anytime during school hours. This is perfectly legal.”
“Sure it is,” replied Roseanne. “That’s why you’re wearing all black and hiding behind a desk, right?”
“I’m an actor, Rosie, and we’re very dramatic,” I snapped. “We have to find out what play Dominiquette and the Spacey Invaders are going to present at Talent Night. She had no right to take over the drama club. If we can outperform them onstage, we’ll be back in the club in no time.”
“Maybe we could just meet with Dominiquette and talk about this whole big mess,” said Paulina. I scoffed and continued digging through the drama club’s collection of costumes. Dominiquette was the unofficial leader of the group nicknamed the Spacey Invaders, and she and her cronies had taken over the drama club from me and my friends. She would no sooner listen to me than a spider would listen to a fly.
“Hey, here is something!” Roseanne called out. “It’s a skull. Do you think they’re going to do something as predictable as Hamlet?”
“Not likely,” replied Paulina. “I bet that’s left over from last year.”
“I found it!” I screeched, holding a stuffed seagull over my head in triumph. “They must be planning to do Chekhov’s The Seagull. It’s the only explanation.” The three of us stared down at the fake bird with grudging admiration. As far as I knew, no high school drama club in Chambersville had ever attempted something as ambitious as The Seagull. Dominiquette was not just ambitious—she was downright devious!
“How are we going to beat them now?” asked Paulina dejectedly.
“I have no idea,” I replied. “But we only have two days to figure it out.”
