Sonic Boom



I'm sitting in the living room

When, up above, the Thump of Doom

Resounds. Relax. It's sonic boom.



The ceiling shudders at the clap,

The mirrors tilt, the rafters snap,

And Baby wakens from his nap.



"Hush, babe. Some pilot we equip,

Giving the speed of sound the slip,

Has cracked the air like a penny whip."



Our world is far from frightening; I

no longer strain to read the sky

Where moving fingers (jet planes) fly.

Our world seems much too tame to die.



And if it does, with one more pop,

I shan't look up to see it drop.

by John Updike

He glanced back at the wall. How like a mirror, too, her face. Impossible; for how many people did you know that refracted your own light to you? People were more often-he searched for a simile, found one in his work-torches, blazing away until they whiffed out. How rarely did other people's faces take of you and throw back to you your own expression, your own innermost trembling thought? (Bradbury 8).

Read this excerpt from "Why Are They Called Black Holes?"

Within a circular boundary of about fifty miles from the black hole center, gravity is so strong that massless light cannot escape its pull. This boundary is called the "theoretical event horizon." Imagine observing a black hole from galaxies away. Light can be seen around the event horizon but not within it. The universe is filled with dim light drifting all around, but absolutely no light can be seen inside a circular event horizon. Therefore, the area inside is called a "black hole."

Based on this excerpt, which conclusion is most likely true about black holes?

Even though there is light inside a black hole, it is not visible.
Even though a black hole has gravity, there is nothing inside a black hole.
A black hole can only be observed or detected at a short distance.
A black hole only releases light that appears black to the eyes.

Read the passage.

In the late 1800s, long-distance communication was difficult. Though there was a postal service, it was slow and unreliable. Letters could take many weeks or even months to travel cross country. Quickly reaching a faraway loved one in an emergency was only possible via the electric telegraph, which was not available to everyone. In contrast, today Americans communicate freely, inexpensively, and frequently over all distances with cell phones and computers. Friends and family, no matter how distant, are only a push of a button away.

Which word or phrase makes the transition to a different idea?

in the late
quickly
in contrast
friends and family

The first postage stamp, the "Penny Black," was printed and used in England in 1840. The stamp was called the "Penny Black" because it was printed in black ink and was sold for a penny. Mail was sent and received long before the first stamp, but it was the receiver who had to pay for the mail, not the sender. Since some people were unable to pay to receive their mail, the idea of the postage stamp was born.

In 1845, five years after England's "Penny Black," the first stamp was printed in the United States of America. Two years later, on July 1, 1847 the first official U.S. postage stamps were issued featuring the portraits of our first postmaster and our first President. The five cent value paid for postal service up to a distance of 300 miles. The stamp, printed in blue, has a catalog value of hundreds of dollars today. A used or canceled copy of this stamp is worth at least half as much as an unused stamp. This stamp was issued imperforate (unperforated) and had to be cut apart with scissors. The adoption of adhesive stamps opened up the development of today's extensive postal system.

Since 1845, the United States has printed more than 3,000 different kinds of stamps. Gradually, all of the world's countries began to issue stamps.

Several kinds of postage stamps are printed. Some of the most interesting are the commemoratives. A commemorative stamp honors anniversaries, important people, or special events. It is usually on sale at the post office only for a short time.

A more common stamp is called a regular issue. Regular issue stamps are printed in greater numbers, and can be obtained for a longer period of time. They are sold in stamp machines as well as in the post office.

Other less common stamps are airmail stamps, special delivery stamps, and envelope stamps. If you have ever seen a postage stamp album of the United States, you will know that it has spaces to put all of these stamps.
