2 “Now, Valentine,” said the warden, “you’ll go out in the morning. Brace up, and make a man of yourself. You’re not a bad fellow at heart. Stop cracking safes, and live straight.”
3 “Me?” said Jimmy, in surprise. “Why, I never cracked a safe in my life.”
4 “Oh, no,” laughed the warden. “Of course not. Let’s see, now. How was it you happened to get sent up on that Springfield job? Was it because you wouldn’t prove an alibi for fear of compromising somebody in extremely high-toned society? Or was it simply a case of a mean old jury that had it in for you? It’s always one or the other with you innocent victims.”
5 “Me?” said Jimmy, still blankly virtuous. “Why, warden, I never was in Springfield in my life!”
6 “Take him back, Cronin!” said the warden, “and fix him up with outgoing clothes. Unlock him at seven in the morning, and let him come to the bull-pen. Better think over my advice, Valentine.”
1) Choose the best answer.
What inference can you make from paragraphs 2-6?
The warden wants Jimmy to stay in prison because they get along.
Jimmy really believes he is innocent.
The warden is trying to frame Jimmy.
Jimmy is using verbal irony, or sarcasm, by saying he has never cracked a safe.
1 A guard came to the prison shoe-shop, where Jimmy Valentine was assiduously [diligently] stitching uppers, and escorted him to the front office. There the warden handed Jimmy his pardon, which had been signed that morning by the governor. Jimmy took it in a tired kind of way. He had served nearly ten months of a four year sentence. He had expected to stay only about three months, at the longest. When a man with as many friends on the outside as Jimmy Valentine had is received in the “stir” it is hardly worthwhile to cut his hair.
8 The clerk handed him a railroad ticket and the five-dollar bill with which the law expected him to rehabilitate [restore] himself into good citizenship and prosperity. The warden gave him a cigar, and shook hands. Valentine, 9762, was chronicled on the books, “Pardoned by Governor,” and Mr. James Valentine walked out into the sunshine. [Pardon means to release from the penalty of an offense]
2) Choose the best answer.
Putting together the clues in paragraphs 1 and 8, how did Jimmy get out of jail after serving only ten months of a four-year sentence?
The warden was worried for Jimmy's safety in the prison, so they released him early.
He was proven to be innocent.
He convinced the warden to let him out early.
Jimmy has influential "friends" who got the governor to pardon him.
9 A week after the release of Valentine, 9762, there was a neat job of safe-burglary done in Richmond, Indiana, with no clue to the author. A scant eight hundred dollars was all that was secured. Two weeks after that a patented, improved, burglar-proof safe in Logansport was opened like a cheese to the tune of fifteen hundred dollars, currency; securities and silver untouched. That began to interest the rogue-catchers [criminal-catchers]. Then an old-fashioned bank-safe in Jefferson City became active and threw out of its crater an eruption of bank-notes amounting to five thousand dollars. The losses were now high enough to bring the matter up into Ben Price’s class of work. By comparing notes, a remarkable similarity in the methods of the burglaries was noticed. Ben Price investigated the scenes of the robberies, and was heard to remark:
3) Choose the best answer.
What inference can you make from paragraph 9?
Jimmy has resumed his old ways of safecracking.
Ben Price has given up searching for Jimmy Valentine.
Someone else has taken Jimmy's place as expert safecracker.
Jimmy Valentine has reformed his ways.
Answer:
The answers are C, D, and A
Explanation:
Because the person in the beginning is trying to frame him. The second question was because in the paragraph it stated the Jimmy had some very influencial friends. And at the end It says the they opened a burglar safe like a piece of cheese which only means the Jimmy is back to it.

Read this excerpt from Blanca Flor by Angel Vigil.
THE NARRATOR
When Blanca Flor saw Don Ricardo, she reached into her bag and took out a mirror, the final object in the bag. She threw the mirror into the middle of the road. Instantly, the mirror became a large lake, its waters so smooth and still that it looked like a mirror as it reflected the sky and clouds. When Don Ricardo got to the lake, all he saw was two ducks, a male and a female, swimming peacefully in the middle of the lake. Suddenly, the ducks lifted off the lake and flew away. As they flew away, Don Ricardo knew that the ducks were Juanito and Blanca Flor, and that they were beyond his grasp.

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.

Today, we are going to read "Tuesday of the Other June" What do you think the title means?
Answer:“Be good, be good, be good, be good, my Junie,”
my mother sang as she combed my hair; a song,
a story, a croon,1
a plea. “It’s just you and me, two
women alone in the world, June darling of my
heart; we have enough troubles getting by, we
surely don’t need a single one more, so you keep
your sweet self out of fighting and all that bad
stuff. People can be little-hearted, but turn the
other cheek, smile at the world, and the world’ll
surely smile back.”
We stood in front of the mirror as she combed
my hair, combed and brushed and smoothed.
Her head came just above mine; she said when I grew another inch, she’d stand on a stool to brush my
hair. “I’m not giving up this pleasure!” And she laughed her long honey laugh.
My mother was April, my grandmother had been May, I was June. “And someday,” said my mother,
“you’ll have a daughter of your own. What will you name her?”
“January!” I’d yell when I was little. “February! No, November!” My mother laughed her honey laugh. She
had little emerald eyes that warmed me like the sun.
Every day when I went to school, she went to work. “Sometimes I stop what I’m doing,” she said, “lay
down my tools, and stop everything, because all I can think about is you. Wondering what you’re doing
and if you need me. Now, Junie, if anyone ever bothers you — ”
“ — I walk away, run away, come on home as fast as my feet will take me,” I recited.
“Yes. You come to me. You just bring me your trouble, because I’m here on this earth to love you and
take care of you.”

stairs. It wasn’t my mother, she was asleep in the bed across the room, so it was robbers, thieves, and

Read this excerpt from A Short Walk around the Pyramids and through the World of Art by Philip Isaacson.
The traditional art of African nations is a wonderful part of the world's art. Like the art of all people who live in groups called tribes—the people of the Pacific islands, the Native Americans, the Eskimos, the Indians of the Northwest Coast of Canada—it was once called primitive art. But it isn't primitive. It isn't primitive in its shape or in the way it is made or in the deep feelings it expresses.
Isaacson's purpose is
A. to inform the reader about traditional art; his tone is formal.
B. to persuade the reader to buy traditional art; his tone is formal.
C. to entertain the reader with humorous traditional stories; his tone is informal.
D. to convince the reader to create traditional art; his tone is informal.

How can an artist create new worlds? Especially a poet.
Answer:
A poet can create new worlds by clever word choice. When I say word choice, I mean advanced, descriptive wording. A poet may also tend to
talk
like
this .
It drags readers into it, and almost flips a switch, that interests the reader because it is not traditional, basic writing. Poets tend to be subliminal, or use figurative metaphors. Majority of the time, poetry has a deeper, more complicated meaning behind the words. But, there are some poets that have written poetry, which is meant into tricking the reader into thinking the poetry is deeper then it seems, when it may have a rather unexpected, silly meaning.

How is the book: "First sisters to become U.S. Army generals reflect on service, hard work" Structured?
Answer:
One sister had wanted to be a soldier since she was young. The other planned to have a career in the U.S. Foreign Service, which is the diplomatic service of the United States. Both celebrated a milestone for the U.S. Army this summer: Major General Maria Barrett and Brigadier General Paula Lodi are believed to be the first pair of sisters to become generals, the military branch's highest rank.
"The fact that both of us would have come from the same family, it almost makes you want to go out and get a lottery ticket," Barrett said. "Except, this is not a game of chance. It is hard work, it is strong leadership skills."
Their rise to the rank of general signals to younger soldiers that women can fill respected leadership roles in the traditionally male-dominated Army, said Emma Moore. She does research for the military, veterans and society program at the Center for a New American Security, a bipartisan think tank that studies national security.
"They're testaments to the fact that you can join the Army and have very different experiences and rise to the top," Moore said. "There's a job for anyone and everyone in the military."
