The Whippoorwill
by Madison Julius Cawein

I.

Above lone woodland ways that led
To dells the stealthy twilights tread
The west was hot geranium red;
And still, and still,
Along old lanes the locusts sow
With clustered pearls the Maytimes know,
Deep in the crimson afterglow,
We heard the homeward cattle low,
And then the far-off, far-off woe
Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"

II.

Beneath the idle beechen boughs
We heard the far bells of the cows
Come slowly jangling towards the house;
And still, and still,
Beyond the light that would not die
Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;
Beyond the evening-star's white eye
Of glittering chalcedony,
Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry
Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."

III.

And in the city oft, when swims
The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims
Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;
And still, and still,
I seem to hear, where shadows grope
Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,
Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope
Above the clover-sweetened slope,
Retreat, despairing, past all hope,
The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.

What are some reasons that authors write about history?

‘We are very miserable,’ said Darzee. ‘One of our babies fell out of the nest yesterday, and Nag ate him.’

‘H’m!’ said Rikki-tikki, ‘that is very sad – but I am a stranger here. Who is Nag?’

Darzee and his wife only cowered down in the nest without answering, for from the thick grass at the foot of the bush there came a low hiss – a horrid cold sound that made Rikki-Tikki jump back two clear feet. Then inch by inch out of the grass rose up the head and spread hood of Nag, the black cobra, and he was five feet long from tongue to tail.

—“Rikki-Tikki-Tavi,”
Rudyard Kipling

Read the passage.
from Bleak House
[Lady Dedlock] supposes herself to be an inscrutable Being, quite out of the reach and ken of ordinary mortals-seeing herself in her glass,
where indeed she looks so. Yet, every dim little star revolving about her, from her maid to the manager of the Italian Opera, knows her weaknesses,
prejudices, follies, haughtinesses, and caprices; and lives upon as accurate a calculation and as nice a measure of her moral nature, as her
dress-maker takes of her physical proportions. Is a new dress, a new custom, a new singer, a new dancer, a new form of jewellery .. new chapel
a new anything, to be set up? There are deferential people, in a dozen callings, whom my Lady Dedlock suspects of nothing but prostration before
her, who can tell you how to manage her as if she were a baby; who do nothing but nurse her all their lives; who, humbly affecting to follow with
profound subservience, lead her and her whole troop after them.
(from Bleak House by Charles Dickens)

01. how the privileged and those in their service often have conflicts
0 2. how the privileged typically control others by exerting their wealthy influence
3. how the way people serve Lady Dedlock contrasts with what she expects of them
4. how the way Lady Dedlock presents herself contrasts with how others perceive her

Summarizing

A lion was sleeping peacefully when he felt a mouse scampering over his face. Grabbing her by the tail, he was about to devour her when she bravetly said, “Lion,if you spare my life, I will repay your kindness in the future.” The lion roared with laughter at the thought of such a tiny creature helping him-the king of the jungle. He was so amused that he let the mouse go.

Sometime later, the lion got snared in a trap. Hearing the lion’s angry roar, the mouse ran to his rescue. She gnawed away the ropes that bound him until he was free. “You ridiculed the idea of a tiny creature like me being able to repay a favor to a great creature like you,” the mouse said. “Now, you know that little friends can be great friends.”

After about a decade of studying BSE, a new threat emerged. A cow that was infected with BSE could potentially become part of the British food supply. At first, experts didn’t think that BSE could be passed along to humans through the consumption of beef (which is made of the cow’s fat and muscle tissue, not parts of the central nervous system). However, in 1995 they diagnosed a human with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the human form of BSE.

Goodbye, Cod
The Atlantic cod was once the mainstay of the United States fishing industry. However, warming of the ocean along the shores of New England has caused the stock of cod to disappear almost completely. According to scientists at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the Gulf of Maine is heating up faster than a majority of the rest of the planet's oceans. As a result of warmer ocean waters, female cod produce fewer offspring, and these fish are less likely to survive to maturity. Even though recreational cod fishing was banned in 2014, and strict limitations were placed on the number of fish commercial fishermen could catch, these measures have not been enough to protect the cod.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A) Because cod use to be abundant in the Atlantic, it was once the backbone of the U.S. fishing industry.

B) Female cod are producing fewer offspring in the Gulf of Maine.

C)Because the Gulf of Maine is warming unusually quickly, Atlantic cod are disappearing.
