SIMPLE EASY READ AND ANSWER EASY QUESTONS


The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a deal between three countries. The three countries are the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Some people like it. Other people hate it. It was signed in 1992. NAFTA made it easier for the three countries to sell things to each other. They would not have to pay extra money, like special taxes. Taxes are sometimes added to the price of things that are sold.

Getting rid of these taxes is called free trade. Buying and selling things is called trade. Free trade helps countries sell the things they make easily. It also lets countries buy things from other countries that they can't grow or make. For example, some countries can't grow oranges because it's too cold there.

NAFTA is similar to a deal in Europe. There is a group of countries called the European Union. They got rid of taxes so that European countries could sell more things to each other. This led to more trade in Europe.

NAFTA became a law in 1994.

Critics said NAFTA would be bad for workers
Many people like NAFTA. They thought that free trade would bring wealth. They thought it would create millions of jobs. Other people did not agree. They thought it was just a way for big companies to make more money.

People who did not like NAFTA also worried about jobs. They thought that Canadian and American factories would move to Mexico. People were worried that if that happened they would the lose their jobs. That is because it is cheaper to hire workers in Mexico.

People also worried that new factories would hurt the environment in Mexico. Some people worried that small farmers would lose their farms. Big farms might become too powerful for smaller ones to keep up.

NAFTA was better for Mexico than the U.S. or Canada
NAFTA didn't deliver all it promised. NAFTA may have helped Mexico the most. Mexico traded much more. This meant that Mexicans could get more goods to buy. Meanwhile, the United States and Canada had less success with NAFTA.

But not many jobs were lost in America or Canada. Most companies did not move to Mexico. And NAFTA did not cause environmental problems like some people thought it would.

Expansion
In 2004, NAFTA expanded to include five Central American countries. This was called the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). Other South and Central American countries joined later. A new deal was signed in 2015. It is called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). It is like NAFTA, but in Asia.

Select the paragraph that shows that Mason is excited after finding the baseball photo.
Who Were the Spiders?



The Cooper family was about to move because Dad had a new job in Colorado. He had been out of work for a year, and Natalie and Mason knew he had been unhappy, but now a new job was making things look better. As Dad said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.”



Dad was already in Colorado, but Mom stayed behind so that the twins Natalie and Mason could finish fifth grade at Oak School. Today, Natalie and Mason were helping to pack boxes, and they enjoyed looking at the old treasures, especially the photo albums.



Mason found many photos, and Natalie picked up one of a baseball team in which the men’s uniforms had CLEVELAND printed on them. Someone had written 1895 on the photo, and Natalie asked, “Why is this photo here? The year is more than one hundred years ago.”



Mason asked Mom, “Is there a famous baseball player in our family?”



“I don’t know of anyone in my family, but maybe there was someone in your dad’s family,” she said, “so remember to ask about the photo when you talk to your dad tonight.”





That night Dad called, and Mason was eager to talk to him. “Dad, we found a photo today of a baseball team that played in 1895. Did one of your relatives play on a team a long time ago?”



Dad said, “It’s familiar, but I don’t know the story. Some of the photos are my father’s, so why don’t you call him and see if he knows?”



Grandpa Ken recalled that a relative played for a Cleveland team, a cousin of his great-grandfather whose last name was Zimmer, so Grandpa suggested they look up early Cleveland teams.



Mason and Natalie headed for the computer and found a baseball encyclopedia, where they clicked on “Teams” and found links to “Active Franchises” and “Earlier Franchises.” Mason knew that a franchise is a name for a professional sports team. Under “Earlier Franchises” they found three teams: Cleveland Blue, 1879–1884; Cleveland Infants, 1890–1890; and Cleveland Spiders, 1887–1899.



Mason shouted, “We found the answer! Our 1895 photo must show the Cleveland Spiders.”



Natalie said, “You might be right, so let’s find out about them.”



They looked for Cleveland Spiders and found the headline, “Grand Opening. About Nine Thousand People See the First Game.” A new Cleveland ballpark had opened on May 2, 1891. Cy Young was the starting pitcher, and Zimmer was listed as one of the players. “That’s the cousin of our great-great-grandfather!” said Natalie.



Mom said, “That means he played on the same team as Cy Young, who was an exceptional pitcher who won more games than any other pitcher in history.”



Mason wanted to know more, so they searched a baseball almanac. Natalie saw a list of players, and Zimmer was a catcher in 1895, a year in which the team came in second. She also read that in 1899, the Spiders were baseball’s worst team.



Natalie checked the 1899 team, and there was Zimmer again. “Oh, well, you can’t win them all,” she said.



Mom then said, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” They would have to find out more about the Cleveland Spiders tomorrow.




A Mason asked Mom, “Is there a famous baseball player in our family?”

B“I don’t know of anyone in my family, but maybe there was someone in your dad’s family,” she said, “so remember to ask about the photo when you talk to your dad tonight.”


C That night Dad called, and Mason was eager to talk to him. “Dad, we found a photo today of a baseball team that played in 1895. Did one of your relatives play on a team a long time ago?”

D Dad said, “It’s familiar, but I don’t know the story. Some of the photos are my father’s, so why don’t you call him and see if he knows?”

E Grandpa Ken recalled that a relative played for a Cleveland team, a cousin of his great-grandfather whose last name was Zimmer, so Grandpa suggested they look up early Cleveland teams.

And when white moths were on the wing,

And moth-like stars were flickering out,

I dropped the berry in a stream

And caught a little silver trout.



When I had laid it on the floor

I went to blow the fire a-flame,

But something rustled on the floor,

And someone called me by my name:

It had become a glimmering girl

With apple blossom in her hair

Who called me by my name and ran

And faded through the brightening air.

It might seem like a lot to do, but, you will get a lot of points!!!!! I need you to help me figure out, the theme is developed for the story "if" (which is below) and it will need to have specific evidence from the poem. And then can you explain how they are developed in "cant" (which is also below) And then can you summarize how the two poems and similar and/or different. Thank You! :3

Can’t
by Edgar Guest
Can’t is the worst word that’s written or spoken;
Doing more harm here than slander and lies;
On it is many a strong spirit broken,
And with it many a good purpose dies.
It springs from the lips of the thoughtless each morning
And robs us of courage we need through the day:
It rings in our ears like a timely sent warning
And laughs when we falter and fall by the way.
Can’t is the father of feeble endeavor,
The parent of terror and halfhearted work;
It weakens the efforts of artisans clever,
And makes of the toiler an indolent shirk.
It poisons the soul of the man with a vision,
It stifles in infancy many a plan;
It greets honest toiling with open derision
And mocks at the hopes and the dreams of a man.
Can’t is a word none should speak without blushing;
To utter it should be a symbol of shame;
Ambition and courage it daily is crushing;
It blights a man’s purpose and shortens his aim.
Despise it with all of your hatred of error;
Refuse it the lodgment it seeks in your brain;
Arm against it as a creature of terror,
And all that you dream of you someday shall gain.
Can’t is the word that is foe to ambition
An enemy ambushed to shatter your will;
Its prey is forever the man with a mission
And bows but to courage and patience and skill.
Hate it, with hatred that’s deep and undying,
For once it is welcomed ’twill break any man;
Whatever the goal you are seeking, keep trying
And answer this demon by saying: “I can.” End

If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run—
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! End

As a boat rides upon the water.

Even as a boat

Cleaving the water with an eager keel,

I have run a furrow

Straight across the ridges.
