A wildfire is any instance of uncontrolled burning in grasslands, bush, or forest. Wildfires destroy property and

invaluable natural resources, and may threaten the lives of people and animals. Wildfires can occur at any time

of the year, but usually occur during hot, dry weather. During this unprecedented time in our country, wildfires

have added to the crisis. It is unbelievable that Belizeans wake up during the early morning hours to the

disgusting smell of smoke and even toxic fumes. Many are asking the government to take action to alleviate this

incredibly unhealthy problem. People from across the country are uncomfortable with this situation. The

Department of the Environment has identified the use of burning to prepare land for agriculture as a leading

cause of wildfires. The reckless burning of garbage and the setting of unattended fires also play a role. The

government has toughened the laws and have been keeping a look out for fire outbreaks. They ask citizens to

use alternative methods for land preparation and to not burn garbage and yard debris at home.

Complete the following table with 5 words you identified from the paragraph.

WORD Prefix Root word Suffix Meaning

Uncontrolled Un control ed Not controlled

Invaluable In Value able Extremely useful

Unprecedented Un Precedent ed Not/never done

Unbelievable Un believe able Not able to believe

The Respiratory System

Animals and humans need oxygen in order to support life. Humans get oxygen from the air through their

respiratory system. The respiratory system is composed of the nose, mouth, trachea, lungs, and diaphragm. The

diaphragm is a thick muscle that separates the lungs from the abdomen. The diaphragm pushes down while the

rib cage pushes out, sucking air into the body through the nose or mouth. The air passes though the trachea, a

tube that connects the nose and mouth to the lungs. The lungs are full of tubes that get smaller and smaller,

ending in tiny sacks called alveoli. When the air reaches the alveoli, blood picks up the oxygen and drops off

waste gas called carbon dioxide. When the gases have been exchanged, the diaphragm pushes upward and the

ribcage pushes inward. Carbon dioxide is pushed out of the body through the trachea and the nose or mouth.

The entire process of taking in oxygen and expelling, or removing, carbon dioxide is called respiration.

1. What is the main idea of the passage? b. The respiratory system gives the body the oxygen it needs.

2. The 5 main parts of the respiratory system is the nose, mouth, trachea, lungs and a. diaphragm.

3. What is the diaphragm? b. A muscle that separates the lungs from the abdomen.

4. Which of the following is an antonym for the word expelling in line 17? a. ejecting

5. How does carbon dioxide get out of the body? c. It pushes out through the trachea and the nose or mouth.
