1. Which sentence contains an opinion? (1 point)

People have been making maps for hundreds of years. Christopher Columbus used maps when he sailed to the "New World." At that time, most people thought Earth was flat, and all of the maps they used were flat, too. Of course, Columbus's maps were not accurate, but would you be surprised to know that the maps we use today still have inaccuracies?
Today, even though we know that Earth is almost round, most of the world maps we see are flat. Consequently, it is impossible to represent Earth without some kind of error. Some flat maps do not show distances correctly. Others have errors in directions or in the sizes and shapes of landforms.
A globe, on the other hand, is very accurate. Many people do not consider a globe to be a map, but that is precisely what it is. Because it comes closer to the real shape of Earth, a globe can show direction, distance, size, and shape with great accuracy.
Use the selection to answer the questions.
2. What is the main idea of the selection? (1 point)
Most people do not consider globes to be maps.
The maps that Christopher Columbus used were not accurate.
Flat maps have errors in the shapes of landforms.••
Globes, unlike flat maps, provide an accurate map of the world.

Walking for Fitness and Fun
Walking Is for Everyone
Walking is a popular form of exercise, and it is growing more popular each year. Walking is good for every age group: The rate of participation does not decline in the middle and later years. In a national survey, the highest percentage of regular walkers for any group was among men 65 years of age and older.
Walking: The Slow and Sure Way to Fitness
People walk for many reasons: for exercise, for enjoyment, for solitude, or simply for transportation. No matter the reason, though, people who are walking are getting great exercise. When walkers maintain a good brisk pace and walk on a regular basis, there are definite health advantages. Some of these include lowered resting heart rate, gradual weight loss, and reduced blood pressure. Briskly walking one mile in fifteen minutes burns as many calories as jogging the same distance in eight and one-half minutes.
Walking: Convenient and Inexpensive
Walking is an easy exercise regimen. You can do it almost anytime. You can do it almost anywhere. There is no special equipment needed. And it does not cost anything. No matter what your age or condition, walking can make you healthier and happier.

comparison-and-contrast

1 While television can be entertaining and educational, it also has a dark side, especially for children. On average, children spend nearly 4 hours a day watching television. The harmful effects of television viewing far outweigh any benefits.
2 Doing poorly in school is one negative effect of too much television. One study found that children who watch 10 hours or more of TV each week are less skilled at reading and less successful in school. These children watch television instead of reading, doing homework, pursuing hobbies, and getting enough sleep. In fact, watching too much television can lead to sleep disorders in children and teenagers. And this is not the only health problem TV viewing can cause. Children who are watching television are not getting any exercise. In addition, they are bombarded by commercials that unethical sponsors use to tempt them with unhealthy snack foods and drinks. No wonder children who watch more television are more likely to be overweight. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found that the rate of obesity was highest among children who watched 4 or more hours of TV a day, and lowest among children watching an hour or less a day.
3 Parents can make a difference. They can limit television watching to no more than 1–2 hours a day. They can watch public television, rent quality videos, or record programs and leave out the commercials. They can encourage their children to explore other options such as playing, reading, participating in sports, or learning a hobby. And, most important of all, they can set a good example.

I began a written correspondence with my grandmother when I was a young child. We did not live within visiting distance, and writing was a way for us to “visit” each week. Sunday was the day she would rest from her labors on the farm. Taking her dime store pad of paper and a pencil she had no doubt sharpened with a paring knife, she would share her week with me in written words. Perhaps she had worked on her tatting or a new quilt pattern. She might have spent a day weeding and ing the garden or washing and hanging laundry on the line to dry. Each week’s letter captured her work and the details of her life. Through these letters I learned the value and satisfaction of hard work, patience, diligence in accomplishing what needed to be done, and self-reliance at being able to do something yourself.
