Since at least that time, glaciers there have been declining. But 50 years ago, the rate of decline jumped and the number of glaciers in the park took a nosedive. The situation has become increasingly bleak with time. The snow is melting faster, forcing bears and birds to adapt to new food patterns.

The movie is based on the superhero created by comic book legends Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, first appearing in “Fantastic Four” #52, released in 1966. In that issue, for what turns out to be a defensible reason, the Black Panther, or T’Challa as he is also known, single-handedly takes down each member of the powerful all-white superhero team. During the height of the civil rights movement, this was a powerful statement indeed, providing a clear allegory to the tumultuous time. © NewsHour Productions LLC. All Rights Reserved.

When a guitarist starts a riff, Parker plays air guitar. When the drummer starts pounding, she claps to the beat. Her body moves to the rhythm of the songs as she signs lyrics with the same attitude as the musicians, from Bob Dylan to Lady Gaga. When Parker’s audience — those who are deaf and hard of hearing — see her interpretations for the first time, they often say “Now I understand why people like music.” As an interpreter, Parker gives the deaf community an opportunity to appreciate an experience that for so long was only accessible to those who could hear. Quality interpreting enables a deaf audience to experience and participate in public events usually only accessible for hearing individuals. But poor interpreting can alienate viewers, and create even bigger gaps in communication.  1 of 9  A) Use the article to answer the question. What is the central idea of this article? (1 point) Barbie Parker is an excellent sign language interpreter who has brought music shows alive for deaf audiences. Interpreters like Parker are essential. A good sign language interpreter can be very helpful to a deaf audience, but a bad sign language interpreter can ruin an experience. The central idea is about deaf audiences.

Question 9 "Why Journalism Has A Gender Problem" by Corinne Segal The journalism industry is severely lacking in leadership by women and racial minorities, according to the Nieman Reports story published Wednesday. This year’s census by the American Society of News Editors (ASNE), which looked at diversity at print newspapers, shows women accounting for 35.4 percent of supervisors. This barely marks an increase from 1999, when women made up 33.8 percent of supervisors. Women run three out of the 25 biggest U.S. titles and one of the top 25 international titles. They make up 37.2 percent of overall newspaper employees, a whole three-tenths of a percent increase from 1999.

Question 10 "Are Commercial Honeybees Making Wild Bees Sick?" by Berly McCoy Everyone wants to save the bees. But as populations decline every year, we may be saving them to death. Human efforts to breed more of these insects in artificial beehives and plant more flowers may seem the obvious way to stave off heavy losses.
