1.- READING COMPREHENSION. Read the story carefully and answer the questions with complete sentences.

FEATHERED, BUT NOT READY FOR TAKEOFF

When you hear the word bird I bet one of the first things you think of is flying. But did you know there are almost 40 different birds that can't fly?

Most scientists believe flightless birds had ancestors that did fly. However, over time they developed alternatives to flying. Penguins, with wings more like flippers, are fast swimmers. And long-legged ostriches, are fast runners.

Some birds may have become flightless because they live on islands or other places where they have few predators. New Zealand, for example, has more flightless birds than any other country. Six are different kinds of penguins. New Zealand also is home to the small kiwi, two kinds of non-flying ducks and the heaviest parrot in the world, the endangered kakapo.

Near New Zealand is Australia, a country that has two other famous flightless birds. These are the large and fast running emus and cassowaries.

What is the largest living flightless bird? If you said ostrich, you're right. In fact, the ostrich is the largest living bird, flightless or not. Some even weigh over 300 pounds. But ostriches live in Africa, where lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas live, so how do they survive? Well, ostriches can run over 40 miles an hour, faster than any other bird and most other animals, as well. They also have long, sharp claws on feet that kick with tremendous strength.

Ostriches are ratites. Ratites are birds with a reduced keel or no keel at all on their breastbone. The keel part of the breastbone is what anchors the muscles needed for wing movement. No keel means no flying. Other large ratites include emus, cassowaries and the rheas of South America. All

of them have sharp claws and run at fast speeds. And like many other flightless birds they have solid bones, instead of the lightweight hollow bones of flying birds.

Perhaps one of the more unusual-looking flightless birds was the Dodo bird. The dodo lived on the island of Mauritius, off the coast of Africa. It was discovered in the year 1602. Early settlers found that the Dodo was not afraid of humans, which make it easy to hunt. It wasn't long before all the dodos on the island had been killed by hunters. Unfortunately, by the year 1680 this bird was gone from the world forever.

The largest and heaviest bird of all time is also extinct. The flightless elephant bird of Madagascar. It stood nearly 10 feet tall and weighed as much as three large ostriches. This bird has been extinct since the year 1700.

Even though they cannot fly, all flightless birds do have feathers. In fact, some have feathers all over their body. While other birds soar through the air, flightless birds thrive by walking, running, and even swimming.

1 Where do emus and cassowaries live?a. New Zealand b. Austriac. Africa d. Australia

2 How are an emu's bones different from a seagull's bones?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3 According to the article, what are two ways an ostrich can protect itself?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

4 About how much would a full-grown elephant bird weigh?a. 100 pounds b. 300 poundsb. 900 pounds d. 1,200 pounds

5 How do penguins use their wings?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

6 About how long ago did the dodo bird become extinct?a. 90 years ago b. 130 years agob. 230 years ago c. 330 years ago

POTATO CHIPS

Peru's Inca Indians first grew potatoes in the Andes in about 200 B.C. Spanish conquistadors brought potatoes to Europe, and colonists brought them to America. Potatoes are fourth on the list of the world's food staples -- after wheat, corn and rice. Today, Americans consume about 140 pounds of potatoes per person every year while Europeans eat twice as many.

One of our favorite ways to eat potatoes is in the form of potato chips. While Benjamin Franklin was the US ambassador to France, he went to a banquet where potatoes were prepared in 20 different ways. Thomas Jefferson, who succeeded Franklin as or French ambassador, brought the recipe for thick-cut, French-fried potatoes to America. He served French fries to guests at the White House in 1802 and at his home, Monticello.

On August 24, 1853 at Moon Lake Lodge in Saratoga, NY, a native-American chef, George Crum, created the first potato chips. He became angry when a diner complained that his French fries were too thick, so he sliced the potatoes as thinly as possible making them too thin and crisp to eat with a fork. The diner loved them, and potato chips were born. In 1860 Chef Crum opened his own restaurant and offered a basket of potato chips on every table.

In the 1950s, in Ireland, Joe "Spud" Murphy and Seamus Burke, produced the world's first seasoned crisps, Cheese & Onion and Salt & Vinegar. In the United Kingdom and Ireland crisps are what we in the United States call potato chips while chips refer to our French fries. Ketchup flavored chips are popular in the Mid-East and Canada. Seaweed is popular

in the Asia, and Mexicans like chicken flavored chips. Other flavors from around the world include: paprika, pickled onion, béarnaise, meat pie, Chili Crab, Salmon Teriyaki, Borscht, Caesar Salad, Roasted Sausage, Firecracker Lobster, Roast Os, Haggis and Black Pepper, Olive, and Spaghetti. About 27 pounds of potato chips are produced from 100 pounds of potatoes. Americans consume 2-4 billion pounds of potato chips every year, and spend more than $7 billion a year on them.

"FLAGS"

The first flags were probably in China. People flew flags I China over 4,000 years ago. Each part of the army had its own flag so the soldiers could see their leaders. Early flags were sticks of wood. They had pictures cut into the wood.

Iran had metal flags about 3,000 years ago. Old Greek coins show pictures of flags. People in Rome also used flags over 2,000 years ago. People first made flags of cloth about 2,000 years ago. Those flags looked like today’s flags.

Flags are important at sea. Most ships fly their own country’s flag and the flag of the country they are visiting. When a ship flies only its own flag, it is ready to fight.

Every country now has a flag. Every U.S. state has a flag. Clubs, team, and schools have flags. The Olympics has a flag. The Olympics flag has five rings of five colors. Each ring stands for, or represents, a continent. It means that people from five continents – Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America -- come to play.

Railway lines also use flags. Railway flags tell the trains what to do. For example, a red flag tells the train to stop, just like a stop sign. A blue, white, or green flag tells the train that it can go. A blue flag on the side of a train means someone is working on the train. It means nobody can move the train.

THE PAINTING

A new painting was hanging in the Hemlock Mills Art Gallery. Throughout the day, visitors stood before the new exhibit and speculated as to what it represented.

“I think it’s a terrifying monster,” said Misty. “There’s no name on it, but I’m sure it was drawn by a famous artist.”

“I would say that it’s a picture of a park as seen from an airplane,” mused James. “I see many trees and roads.”

Miss Culture, the local art critic for the Hemlock Weekly News, made her pronouncement. “This is clearly a masterpiece created by an artist who wishes to be anonymous at this stage of his or her career. The brilliant strokes of color symbolize a person who is looking back at an exciting lifetime of accomplishments!”

At that moment, Mr. Lightman, the gallery curator, entered the room. “Isn’t it great?” he asked with a big smile on his face. “My three year old did that this morning. He says it’s a maze. I think it’s amazing!”

1 In your opinion, which visitor had the best guess as to what the painting represented?

2 What does the painting look like to you?

3 How would you describe Miss Culture?

4 Why do you think the curator decided to exhibit the painting?

BUFFALO HUNTER

The great herds of buffalo that roamed the plains were essential for all parts of Sioux life and society. For most Sioux villages, “home” was wherever the herds of buffalo roamed.

Before the introduction of the horse, Sioux warriors would hunt the buffalo by dressing up as wolves as tricking them into running off of cliffs and ledges. They would also dress up in buffalo skins and make crying sounds like a baby buffalo. When an adult buffalo went to investigate, the warriors would kill it with spears and arrows.

The Sioux Indians used the entire buffalo following a kill. The buffalo hide was used for making tepees, clothes, moccasins and robes. The hair was used to make rope and the horns were used as horns and dishes. Children fashioned sleds out of buffalo ribs, and buffalo fat was used as glue. Most importantly, buffalo meat provided food for the entire village. Much of the buffalo that was collected was cooked, dried and pounded into pemmican (sort of like modern—day beef jerky).
