Read this excerpt from "President Ronald Reagan's Address to the Nation" following the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle. O He is proud of the space program and looks forward to further exploration. O He is secretive about the space program and wants to hide its discoveries. O He is embarrassed by the space program and hopes to improve its mission. He is confused by the space program and wants a clearer understanding. I've always had great faith in and respect for our space program, and what happened today does nothing to diminish it. We don't hide our space program. We don't keep secrets and cover things up. We do it all up front and in public. That's the way freedom is, and we wouldn't change it for a minute. We'll continue our quest in space. There will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and, yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space. Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue. I want to add that I wish I could talk to every man and woman who works for NASA or who worked on this mission and tell them: "Your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades. And we know of your anquish. We share it."

Read the following excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller
Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed
as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great
ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore
with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with
beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship
before my education began, only I was without compass or
sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the
harbour was. "Light! give me light!" was the wordless cry of
my soul...

In all the history of scientific discovery there has never been, perhaps, so general, rapid, and dramatic an effect wrought on the scientific centres of Europe as has followed, in the past four weeks, upon an announcement made to the Würzburg Physico-Medical Society, at their December meeting, by Professor William Konrad Röntgen, professor of physics at the Royal University of Würzburg. The first news which reached London was by telegraph from Vienna to the effect that a Professor Röntgen, until then the possessor of only a local fame in the town mentioned, had discovered a new kind of light, which penetrated and photographed through everything. This news was received with a mild interest, some amusement, and much incredulity; and a week passed. Then, by mail and telegraph, came daily clear indications of the stir which the discovery was making in all the great line of universities between Vienna and Berlin. Then Röntgen's own report arrived, so cool, so business-like, and so truly scientific in character, that it left no doubt either of the truth or of the great importance of the preceding reports. . . .

Exactly what kind of a force Professor Röntgen has discovered he does not know. As will be seen below, he declines to call it a new kind of light, or a new form of electricity. He has given it the name of the X rays.

This invention made it possible to deliver more yarn than heretofore. More weavers were needed, and weavers' wages rose.

By degrees the class of farming weavers wholly disappeared, and was merged in the newly arising class of weavers who lived wholly upon wages, had no property whatever, not even the pretended property of a holding, and so became working-men, proletarians.

Hitherto, so far as this had been possible, yarn had been spun and woven under one roof. Thus began with spinning and weaving that division of labour which has since been so infinitely perfected.​

Read the excerpt from stanzas 3 and 4 of "The Turtle.”

It isn’t even hers but came to her
in the rain or the soft wind,
which is a gate through which her life keeps walking.

She can’t see
herself apart from the rest of the world
or the world from what she must do
every spring.
Crawling up the high hill,
luminous under the sand that has packed against her skin,
she doesn’t dream

Based on what is happening in this part of the poem, the repeated "s” sound most likely relates to

the natural flow of the turtle’s actions.
the turtle’s difficulty building a nest.
how the turtle views the seasons.
how the sand feels to the turtle.

Right away, from the door, I saw that the place had been ransacked. Drawers were open, things strewn all over the floor. Everywhere objects were overturned. My eyes took in a scene of terrible pillage.

Then I walked into Mr. and Mrs. Frank's bedroom. On the floor, amidst the chaos of papers and books, my eye lit on the little red-orange checkered, cloth-bound diary that Anne had received from her father on her thirteenth birthday. I pointed it out to Elli. Obeying my gesture, she leaned down and picked it up for me, putting it into my hands. I remembered how happy Anne had been to receive this little book to write her private thoughts in. I knew how precious her diary was to Anne. My eyes scanned the rubble for more of Anne's writings, and I saw the old accounting books and many more writing papers that Elli and I had given to her when she had run out of pages in the checkered diary. Elli was still very scared, and looked to me for direction. I told Elli, "Help me pick up all Anne's writings."
