From the white landowners above him there had not been handed to him a chance to learn the meaning of loyalty, of sentiment, of tradition. Joy was as unknown to him as was despair. As a creature of the earth, he endured, hearty, whole, seemingly indestructible, with no regrets and no hope. He asked easy, drawling questions about me, his other son, his wife, and he laughed, amused, when I informed him of their destinies. I forgave him, and pitied him as my eyes looked past him to the unpainted wooden shack.

Genetically modified foods unequally benefit rich countries, including the United States. The USDA reports that the US gained the vast majority of the total world benefit from new herbicide-tolerant soybeans in 1997. In addition, the US company that created the soybeans charged farmers a technology fee. These high adoption costs will continue to limit the benefits of genetically modified crops to rich countries that do not need the higher yields, rather than extending them to poorer nations that do.

SAVE SPIRIT WEEK
By David Pinsky

Teachers at Harrison Middle school feel that Spirit week should be canceled. They argue that it interrupts classes in many ways. Students may forget to do their homework as they concentrate on the Spirit Week themes. A few students skip classes and some go to a different lunch period. Students spend extra time in the bathrooms combing their hair and adjusting their outfits. Some students goof around in class and find it hard to settle down. If Spirit Week isn’t canceled, teachers warn that school will no longer be a good place to learn.

We, the students, feel that Spirit Week encourages us to be better students. Spirit Week is a way for us to show our creativity. For example, last year we had a 70’s theme. Students learned how a person dressed during this decade, and they tried to imitate those fashions. Such a theme teaches us about culture and history. Spirit week also gives us feelings of pride. At the end of the week, we wear our school colors and support our basketball team against our rivals, the Wildcats. Finally, we feel that Spirit Week teaches us how to work in groups and how to pan and organize an event. Everyone loves Spirit Week. We ask the Harrison School Board to consider our plea and save Spirit Week

Suppose you asked several people to tell you what their favorite pet might be. Many people would answer your question by saying dogs were their favorite.

Dogs can be trained in so many ways that they can become actual companions and friends to their owners. People have depended upon dogs for so many kinds of friendships. Some dogs are well-behaved house pets. Others are loyal watch dogs and protectors of valuable property. Hunters have trained their dogs to help find and retrieve game. Dogs are used to assist the physically challenged in many ways. These helping dogs are used as leader dogs for the visually impaired. They can also assist those bound to a wheelchair. Dogs have also been trained to help rescue people who have been lost or injured.

A dog is one of the most loyal of pets. This loyalty certainly makes the dog one of man's best friends.

Choose the sentence that best describes the main idea of the preceding paragraph.

Dogs can be trained to rescue lost or injured people.
Dogs can be very loyal, useful friends.
Many hunters use dogs to help find game.
