Cities are a great place to live because they have everything you need right at your fingertips, such as the best hospitals, restaurants, and stores. There are also a lot of interesting places to visit in the city. Museums and zoos are especially popular. Small towns on the other hand, offer a simpler way of life. While they may be farther away from some modern conveniences, they are often surrounded by nature and an abundance of outdoor activities. It is also easier to get to know other people when they all live close by in a small community.

Read the passage. Then answer the following questions.
"The Unusual Venus Flytrap" by Amy Baker
The Venus flytrap is a unique plant with many admirers. This carnivorous plant grows in the bogs of North America. With redlined lobes that resemble a mouth, the Venus flytrap looks more like a creature than a plant. It uses these lobes to capture and eat insects. It can even digest small frogs! The lobes have small trigger hairs that cause the plant to clamp down in an instant when unsuspecting prey comes too close. Fingerlike extensions called cilia intertwine to keep the lobes shut tight. It is this trapping action that people find so fascinating.
One of the most mysterious things about the Venus flytrap is that scientists still don’t understand how the trap closes. The flytrap does not have the muscles, tendons, or nervous system necessary for movement. Scientists guess that the trap might close using some electrical impulses and pressure changes. The longer they study the Venus flytrap, the more likely scientists are to discover how it functions. It should be no mystery, however, why this unusual plant has captured the imaginations of so many people.

Read this paragraph. Then answer the following question.
Students are not allowed to chew gum in my class. While some students think that I am just being mean, there are many good reasons for this rule. First, some irresponsible students make messes with their gum. They may leave it on the bottoms of desks, drop it on the floor, or put it on other people’s property. Another reason why I don’t allow students to chew gum is because it is a distraction. When they are allowed to chew gum, students are more worried about having it, popping it, chewing it, and snapping it then they are in listening, writing, reading, and learning. This is why I don’t allow students to chew gum in my class.
