Paraphrasing ( Really Urgent)
1. "The Antarctic is the vast source of cold on our planet, just as the sun is the source of our heat, and it exerts tremendous control on our climate," [Jacques] Cousteau told the camera. "The cold ocean water around Antarctica flows north to mix with warmer water from the tropics, and its upwellings help to cool both the surface water and our atmosphere. Yet the fragility of this regulating system is now threatened by human activity." From "Captain Cousteau," Audubon (May 1990):17.
2. The twenties were the years when drinking was against the law, and the law was a bad joke because everyone knew of a local bar where liquor could be had. They were the years when organized crime ruled the cities, and the police seemed powerless to do anything against it. Classical music was forgotten while jazz spread throughout the land, and men like Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie became the heroes of the young. The flapper was born in the twenties, and with her bobbed hair and short skirts, she symbolized, perhaps more than anyone or anything else, America's break with the past. From Kathleen Yancey, English 102 Supplemental Guide (1989): 25.
3. Matisse is the best painter ever at putting the viewer at the scene. He's the most realistic of all modern artists, if you admit the feel of the breeze as necessary to a landscape and the smell of oranges as essential to a still life. "The Casbah Gate" depicts the well-known gateway Bab el Aassa, which pierces the southern wall of the city near the sultan's palace. With scrubby coats of ivory, aqua, blue, and rose delicately fenced by the liveliest gray outline in art history, Matisse gets the essence of a Tangier afternoon, including the subtle presence of the bowaab, the sentry who sits and surveys those who pass through the gate. From Peter Plagens, "Bright Lights." Newsweek (26 March 1990): 50.

In 2010, Americans recycled 85 million tons of trash that would have otherwise gone into landfills. While that number is impressive, we still need to convince the people who do not recycle or don’t recycle as much as they could, to start doing their part. Do either of the following excuses sound familiar?
“Sending trash to landfills is working fine, so why should I recycle?” Landfills are still collecting trash, but that solution is far from problem-free. Garbage is tightly placed into landfills and the lack of air prevents the breakdown of paper and other biodegradable trash. Even when decomposition occurs, it generates methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that adds to global warming concerns. Plastic and other materials that don’t break down just pile up in the landfill, creating “mountains” of trash. Then too, space for landfills is limited, and no one wants to live next to a new landfill that must be built when current space runs out.


What is the author’s point of view about recycling? How does the author respond to a point of view that conflicts with his own

Which audience is best suited for this informational text?
To learn to draw, you need the right instruments. You can choose to learn with a pencil or a felt-tip pen, or even a stylus and tablet
computer. The pencil's advantage is that you can erase any mistakes. On the other hand, learning to draw with a pen helps build
confidence. Whatever you choose, the learning process is the same. You also must use good-quality paper, especially if you draw with a
pen. Once you have your drawing instrument and paper or tablet computer, you're ready to learn. The first step is learning to draw basic
shapes. Start with drawing straight lines of varying lengths without the help of a ruler. Try to keep the lines as straight as possible. This is
particularly challenging because your wrist tends to move in an arc. Once you start drawing straight lines, keep practicing. In fact, practice
every day
A people interested in learning the basics of drawing
B. people interested in how people drew in the past
C. people interested in drawing using online programs
OD. people interested in buying new art supplies
