Practice reading the following excerpt for fluency and give a summary of the intended meaning of the paragraph:

Joe Traynor is a California bee broker. From a small office in a quiet side street in downtown Bakersfield, on the southern tip of Central Valley, he runs a lucrative business matching almond growers with beekeepers. I put to him that surely all this moving around of bees, confined to their hives for long periods, must be stressful for them. He admits that too much travel is not good for their health: "When you're trucking bees, they need sleep, just as humans do, and the bumping around in the truck for two to three days keeps them awake, and this lowers their resistance to pests and disease."

Answer:

Joe Traynor

Explanation:

Yes

Answer:

Bees need rest just like any other living thing. Without rest bodies are prone to disease and infection which can cause serious illness. The effect would be the bees would be less efficient in doing their pollination.

Read the literary analysis written by Cynthia about part 5 of The Call of the Wild.

In The Call of the Wild, Buck is presented as an intensely loyal dog to those who earn his love and affection. Saved by Thornton from a brutal beating by Hal when he "was too near dead to be of further use in hauling the sled," Buck’s loyalty to Thornton first began. However, as described by London, it was more than just the fact that Thornton had saved his life that earned Thornton Buck’s adoration; it was also the fact that Thornton "was the ideal master." Even when Buck felt strongly the natural instincts that were calling from the wild, "the love for John Thornton drew him back to the fire again." Loyalty can be a powerful force.

How could the final sentence be revised to present a stronger conclusion?

Even loyalty is no match for the urges Buck feels to return to the wilderness.
Buck’s loyalty to Thornton is the only thing that keeps him alive in the Yukon.
Once forged, loyalty is a powerful opponent for even Buck’s natural instincts.
Loyalty is the only force in nature that allows Buck to deny the call of the wild.

Without this army of migrant pollinators paying a visit for three weeks every year, the trees would fail to bear the almonds that are California's most valuable horticultural export. Last year, they earned the state more than $1.9bn, double the revenue from its Napa Valley vineyards. Moreover, 80% of the world's almonds now come from this pocket of the planet. But the supply of almonds in confectionery, cakes and packets of nuts is now threatened by a mysterious malady that is causing honeybees to disappear.

Read the excerpt from "Lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." Our workers labor for many hours every day under the hot sun, often without safe drinking water or toilet facilities. Our workers are constantly subjected to incredible pressures and intimidation to meet excessive quotas. My friends, if we are going to end the suffering, we must use the same people power that vanquished injustice in Montgomery, Selma, and Birmingham. Based on this passage, the reader can conclude that one purpose of Chavez’s speech is to give people interesting information about how a grape farm operates. persuade people to join the farm workers’ fight against poor working conditions. urge people to decrease the quotas that farm workers must meet each month. show people that the workers in Selma are the same as the farm workers.

How do paragraphs 7-8 contribute to the development of ideas in the text?
Squanto was originally from the village of Patuxet (Pa TUK et) and a member of the Pokanokit Wampanoag nation. Patuxet once stood on the exact site where the Pilgrims built Plymouth. In 1605, fifteen years before the Pilgrims came, Squanto went to England with a friendly English explorer named John Weymouth. He had many adventures and learned to speak English. Squanto came back to New England with Captain Weymouth. Later Squanto was captured by a British slaver who raided the village and sold Squanto to the Spanish in the Caribbean Islands. A Spanish Franciscan priest befriended Squanto and helped him to get to Spain and later on a ship to England. Squanto then found Captain Weymouth, who paid his way back to his homeland. In England Squanto met Samoset of the Wabanake (Wab-NAH-key) Tribe, who had also left his native home with an English explorer. They both returned together to Patuxet in 1620. When they arrived, the village was deserted13 and there were skeletons everywhere. Everyone in the village had died from an illness the English slavers had left behind. Squanto and Samoset went to stay with a neighboring village of Wampanoags.

One year later, in the spring, Squanto and Samoset were hunting along the beach near Patuxet. They were startled to see people from England in their deserted village. For several days, they stayed nearby observing the newcomers. Finally they decided to approach them. Samoset walked into the village and said “Welcome,” Squanto soon joined him. The Pilgrims were very surprised to meet two Indians who spoke English.

A. It explains how Squanto learned English to reveal one of the reasons why Squanto was able to be so helpful to the Pilgrims.
B. It shows that Squanto learned English by helping the pilgrims prepare for the Thanksgiving feast.
C. It demonstrates that without the Iroquois democratic system, Squanto would not have been able to assist the pilgrims.
D. It tells the story of how Squanto learned English to reveal why so many of the English settlers died from an illness.

Preview the following text and decide what tone you would use to read the text. Please give a summary of the text.
Dogs need exercise to burn calories, stimulate their minds, and keep healthy. Exercise also tends to help dogs avoid boredom, which can lead to destructive behaviors. Supervised fun and games will satisfy many of your pet's instinctual urges to dig, herd, chew, retrieve and chase.
Individual exercise needs vary based on breed or breed mix, sex, age and level of health—but a couple of walks around the block every day and ten minutes in the backyard probably won’t cut it. If your dog is a 6- to 18-month adolescent, or if she is an active breed or mixed-breed from the sporting, herding, hound or terrier groups, her requirements will be relatively high
