How are the passaged organized? Match the passage with the correct text structure.


1 .

Polar bears live in artic climates. Because of this, they must be adapted to some serious weather conditions. Thick white fur (which also lines the bottom of their feet) and a layer of blubber (fat) allows polar bears to withstand weather that would cause most animals to freeze! Polar bears are much less impacted by freezing cold temperatures as a result of their unique traits.


2.

Jaguars and leopards are two commonly mistaken species. Both look like big cats with similar coloring and spotted patterns. However, jaguars have a shorter and more muscular body. Jaguars are also more likely to stand up to larger animals or predators. You will find jaguars and leopards in different parts of the world. Jaguars live in some parts of the United States, Central, and South America. Leopards live mostly in Africa and Asia.


3.

King Cobras lay 20 to 40 eggs at a time. Once the eggs are laid, the mother cobra will create a nest from dead leaves and coil herself on top. The eggs must be kept warm for up to 80 days. During this time, a cobra will see any animal nearby as a threat and will attach. Once the eggs finally hatch, the 18 inch babies will have to survive on their own by finding protection in the surrounding environment.


4.

What happens when a dog gets overheated? They pant. Panting allows cooler air to quickly circulate throughout their bodies until they return to a more comfortable temperature. Dogs also produce small amounts of sweat from their paws and noses. This sweat helps the cooling process. The thicker the fur on a dog, the longer it takes to cool down. You can also help your furry friend by making sure they have a cool place to stay, and plenty of water to drink.


5.

Warthogs live in the grasslands of Africa. They have large heads with wide, flat faces and 4 large tusks that they can use to attack other animals. Their short bodies are covered with rough, bristly hairs. Warthogs are herbivores with a diet that consists of grass, fruits, berries, roots, small animals and birds. They are very quick for their size, running at maximum speeds of 30 miles per hour.


6.

Horned toad lizards are unfortunately the prey of many species such as coyotes, hawks, and snakes. To protect themselves, it shoots blood from its eyes! When the horned toad lizard has no other way to defend itself, it shoots blood out of ducts in the corners of its eyes. This blood can travel up to three feet, and at the very least, is able to startle any nearby predators so the lizard is able to escape from harm.

For this passage from Freedom of Expression in the United States:


History has shown that curtailing free expression by banning speech does not advance democracy. The drafters of the U.S. Constitution recognized that when governments forbid citizens from talking about certain topics, it often forces those citizens to discuss such topics secretly. By allowing individuals to express their opinions — no matter how much the government and other citizens may disagree with them — the First Amendment promotes transparency and social stability. This uninhibited public debate also forces ideas into the intellectual marketplace, where they must compete with the ideas freely expressed by other individuals. This competition of ideas means that inferior or offensive ideas give way to better ones.

SACRED

You took my hand one time only:
at our parting, which surprised you.
After thousands of words and hundreds of meals
had passed, you put my hand in yours, one time.

Your hand was sandpaper, callused and rough,
fingers fixed to curl around a plow,
nails caked with dirt from morning prayers.
It felt like home against mine.

You took my hand one time only,
before I caught the bus to leave Kornaka.
You took my hand and said “my son,
remember the telephone
is sacred.”

Which part of the poem uses line breaks to surprise its readers?

Dear Ms. Pembroke:

The marching band is planning its annual trip to Florida for a parade and contests. This trip is something that the band members anticipate each year. To prepare for the journey, the members of the band have raised funds to cover their expenses.

The band director, Ms. Lantzy, will be coming on the trip; however, we still need more volunteers. Because you have worked with the band in the past, I believe you would make a wonderful chaperone.

Please consider joining the Smithfield Middle School marching band on our trip to Florida. I believe you would be a wonderful candidate for the position, and I look forward to speaking with you about the trip.

Sincerely,
