America’s space program does not get the attention it once did. It certainly doesn’t generate the same excitement. From the 1950s through the 1970s, astronauts were national heroes. Children dreamed of traveling through space. Adults looked to the moon with the sense of national pride. Those days could—and should—return again.
If average Americans search their brain, it is not hard to find arguments against space travel. It costs money. It’s dangerous. We have enough problems on our own planet. If the same Americans search their hearts, however, the results are different. Deep within us, we all have similar desires. Space exploration fulfills all these desires.
Let’s begin with curiosity. We all have it. From the time we are small children we long to know what is in the next room, down the street, or in the next town. We are nomads, wanting to explore. We are detectives, trying to solve a mystery. We are students of life, seeking answers. The space program gives us a chance to be all those things and more. Even if we don’t travel ourselves, the excitement of new discoveries would again feed our thirst for something new.
Another benefit of returning to space is the inspiration it provides. In the early days of space travel, America had a goal. We wanted to reach space safely and quickly. The country responded spectacularly. Teamwork and creativity reached all-time highs. Students delved deeper into science and math hoping to contribute. Heroes stepped up to bravely accept challenges. We were attempting the impossible and determined to succeed. Think of the amazing things Americans would accomplish if that inspiration returned.
Perhaps the largest thing lost with a shrinking space program is perspective. Exploring space reminds us how small and fragile our planet truly is. It encourages collaboration with other countries which helps cultural differences disappear. It can reveal the effects of abusing natural resources. Looking at our Earth from a great distance gives us a unique view of our world and the effect we have upon it.
Plans for America’s space program should clearly be revisited. Exploration of our solar system should continue not for science or power or money, but for the benefit of mankind. It gives us an outlet for our curiosity. It provides inspiration for our souls. It offers a perspective to help understand our place in the universe. The benefits are as vast as space itself.

Can you please check the story?*As fast as possible I have just 20 min*

Last week, I was looking after two little girls as a babysitter. The parents liked clowns and had a big collection of them. They even had a special room for their collection.

That night, the children were playing in this room. Many of the clowns were just statues, and some were life-size. The biggest clown sat in a small rocking chair. I started to feel more and more uneasy about this statue. I felt as though the eyes were looking at me all the time. I decided to call the parents. "I'm so sorry to bother you, but may I move this clown in the rocking chair. It's starting to scare the kids and me", I said."What clown are you talking about? I don't remember a big clown in the chair. Are you sure?" the mother asked hurriedly. "Yes, I'm sure, It's sitting right here. I'm looking at it right now", I said."Take the kids and get out of the house, now. Run to our neighbors. Call me immediately when you get there, the mother said. Frightened and confused, I took the kids and ran out. When I and the kids came to the neighbors, I called the mother. "What's wrong? Did anything happen? Are you all okay?" The mother asked. "Yes, we are fine, I said. "But you were in danger. It happened again. Soon we will be there with the police, I'll explain everything when we get there", said the mother.

Later, the parents explained to me that for some time the next door there lived a neighbor who gave them problems. He was mentally ill. He heard voices. Many times he sneaked into their house and tried to kidnap the children. This time, he dressed up in a clown suit, painted his face, and waited quietly until he had the opportunity to take the children away. The parents informed the police many times. But they didn't have any proof. Now, it happened again. They thanked me, paid me, and drove me home.​

Amanda Gorman
What would it look like, sound like, and/or feel like if your generation were to leave behind a country that is better than the one you are inheriting?

So while once we asked
how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe?
Now we assert
How could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?
We will not march back to what was
but move to what shall be
A country that is bruised but whole,
benevolent but bold,
fierce and free
We will not be turned around
or interrupted by intimidation
because we know our inaction and inertia
will be the inheritance of the next generation
Our blunders become their burdens
But one thing is certain:
If we merge mercy with might,
and might with right,
then love becomes our legacy
and change our children’s birthright
So let us leave behind a country
better than the one we were left with

What would it look like, sound like, and/or feel like if your generation were to leave behind a country that is better than the one you are inheriting?

Which statement in the excerpt supports the idea that the author is building a slippery slope argument?

adapted from Away with Standardized Testing!
Standardized testing is a billion dollar industry. The companies that create these tests charge school districts and institutions millions of dollars to create and administer them. Let us not even forget the millions of dollars they make selling study guide materials for college entrance exams. Some school districts provide waivers so that students do not have to pay to take these exams. However, some students do not have that luxury and must pay for every attempt at the test until they get a desirable score. Districts are refunded when errors on these tests are discovered or when systems crash. Each year, school district funds are being reduced by states. Surely money poured into testing can be used to support other needs, such as higher teacher salaries, better school lunches, more classroom libraries, and infrastructure repairs.

Sure, supporters of this dream-killing, money-sucking machine believe that standardized tests push educators to cover more content and skills and that stricter, more-aligned standardized tests ensure that students are college ready. But do these supporters stop to think about the emotional impact of standardized testing on student engagement and motivation? When students perform poorly test after test after test, not being able to gain acceptance into a college of their dreams or graduate from high school or rank highly, they are more inclined to consider dropping out of school and not pursuing college, and are more likely to tragically suffer from low self-esteem.
