Benjamin Franklin Fascination with Electricity
adapted from the National Park Service
Benjamin Frankdin was fascinated by electricity and gave a lot of his time after he
retired to study its properties. Some of his research resulted in tricks that he used to
amuse others. For example, he made a charged metal spider that moved like the real
thing He discovered new ways to generate, store, and turn on electricity. His design of
lightning rods helped prevent untold numbers of structural fires throughout the world
His famous de experiment occurred in June 1752. Franklin asked his son William to
fly a kite to which he had attached a wire on top and a key at the end of a string
Ultimately, the kite gathered an electric charge from a storm cloud. Franklin was then
able to collect some of the charge and compare it to the electricity he had created in
other experiments. He did not mention the experiment until October, four months after
it took place at which point Franklin did not clarify that he had conducted the
experiment himself-an issue that has caused some people to doubt Franklin's story. .

Which idea is unsupported by the author's main arguments about Benjamin Franklin accomplishments?

A. Paved the way for theories about electricity



B. never patented
any of his
inventions

C. the only president
who was never
elected president

D. largely self
educated

At the opening of our story, Mother Ceres is busy tending to the harvest of wheat, corn, rye, and barley; her daughter, Proserpina, begs to go to the seaside while her mother tends to the crops of the world. Mother Ceres hesitantly agrees but warns Proserpina, "The sea nymphs are good creatures, and will never lead you into any harm. But you must take care not to stray away from them, nor go wandering about the fields by yourself. Young girls, without their mothers to take care of them, are very apt to get into mischief."

After visiting with the sea nymphs, Proserpina does exactly what her mother feared—she wanders into the forest.

Innocently, she looked for and gathered beautiful flowers. One shrub was especially beautiful and seemed to grow new blossoms as Proserpina looked at it, almost as if to tempt her to come closer. It was so wondrous that she almost felt the urge to run away from it. She chided herself for her silliness and decided to pull the shrub and plant it for her mother.

As she pulled the shrub, a hole began to form and kept "spreading wider and wider, and growing deeper and deeper, until it really seemed to have no bottom; and all the while, there came a rumbling noise out of its depths, louder and louder, and nearer and nearer, and sounding like the tramp of horses' hoofs and the rattling of wheels. She soon saw a team of four sable (black) horses, snorting smoke out of their nostrils, and tearing their way out of the earth with a splendid golden chariot whirling at their heels. They leaped out of the bottomless hole, chariot and all; and there they were, tossing their black manes and flourishing their black tails, close by the spot where Proserpina stood."

In the chariot, a gloomy but handsome man rubbed his eyes as if he had never seen the sunshine. When he saw Proserpina, he beckoned for her to come to him.

"Do not be afraid," said he, with as cheerful a smile as he knew how to put on. "Come! Will you not like to ride a little way with me, in my beautiful chariot?"

Proserpina's first thought was to call for her mother, but her voice was too quiet to be heard by anyone other than the richly dressed man in the chariot.

"Indeed, it is most likely that Ceres was then a thousand miles off, making the corn grow in some far distant country. Nor could it have helped her poor daughter for the stranger leaped to the ground, caught the child in his arms, and again mounted the chariot, shook the reins, and shouted to the four black horses to set off."

As they rode on, the stranger did his best to comfort her.

"I promise not to do you any harm. What! you have been gathering flowers? Wait till we come to my palace, and I will give you a garden full of prettier flowers than those, all made of pearls, and diamonds, and rubies. Can you guess who I am? They call my name Pluto; and I am the king of diamonds and all other precious stones. The one thing which my palace needs is a merry little maid, to run upstairs and down, and cheer up the rooms with her smile. And this is what you must do for King Pluto."

It is my opinion that even King Pluto had never been happy in his palace, and that this was the true reason why he had stolen away Proserpina, in order that he might have something to love, some sunshine in his dark world.

They were now on a dark and gloomy road, beyond the reach of sunshine.

"We are just entering my dominions. Do you see that tall gateway before us? When we pass those gates, we are at home. And there lies my faithful mastiff at the threshold. Cerberus! Cerberus! Come hither, my good dog!"

"Will the dog bite me?" asked Proserpina, fearing the three-headed dog. "What an ugly creature he is!"

"O, never fear," answered her companion. "He never harms people, unless they try to enter my dominions without being sent for, or to get away when I wish to keep them here. Down, Cerberus! Now, my pretty Proserpina, we will drive on."

Next they crossed over the River Lethe, a magical stream that makes people forget every care and sorrow. Pluto offered Proserpina a sip, which she refused.

"I had a thousand times rather be miserable with remembering my mother, than be happy in forgetting her. That dear, dear mother! I never, never will forget her. I will neither drink that nor anything else. Nor will I taste a morsel of food, even if you keep me forever in your palace."

To tempt Proserpina to eat a morsel and thereby trap her into staying forever, King Pluto sent for his cook who came up with a menu of sweets, seasoned meats, and rich pastries.

The Lost Boy of Sudan

Gabriel seemed like any other young boy eager to finish high school and move to college—that is until one saw his eyes and heard his story. Those long legs that aided him to jump high during basketball practice had survived an amazing journey. Gabriel had walked for three months to Ethiopia from his war-torn village in Sudan. After four relatively safe years in the refugee camp, Gabriel had to flee again. This time, he walked to Kenya. His legs never gave up even in the most trying of times and refused defeat in the face of death. At the age of twelve, Gabriel knew about the world of letters, alphabets, and the possibilities that words promised. His life had more surprises in store for him. One day, he learned that along with a few thousand young refugees from his country, Gabriel was being resettled into America to live a life of freedom. That morning, the sun had never been brighter, and the birds had never chirped in more beautiful melodies. Gabriel looked at the crowd outside his tent—cheering like a crowd of sunflowers facing the sun. He was an orphan, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, yet he had found himself. When Gabriel jumped high to dunk the ball, his strong legs and soul were the happiest.

Representative Weaver claims that his bill is motivated by "safety." "Nearly half of all accidents involve people under the age of 21," Representative Weaver claims.
"Raising the driving age," he adds, would mean raising the level of safety on America's roads." But I would ask Representative Weaver the following questions: Do not nearly half
of all accidents involve men? Wouldn't the streets be safer, then, if male drivers were abolished? And what about the percentage of accidents occur on paved roads? Should we do
away with paved roads, too?
Here are some more questions I would like to ask Representative Weaver: If the driving age is raised to 21. what will happen to all the afternoon jobs, the sports, and programs that
require some sort of transportation? What will happen to America's economy (and its spirit) when high schooler students can no longer work at restaurants?
"A teenager behind the wheel is the symbol of American youth," writes author Peter Chacha. What will happen to this symbol if Representative Weaver's plan is approved? Weaver
also claims that a majority of seat belt violations are the fault of the under-21 crowd. But let me ask you this: Do people under the age of 21 really wear their seat belts less often
than older people, or are they just caught more often? We know the police have their eyes on the teenagers, but are they looking at the adults as well?
Select the correct answer
Which supporting claim does the author offer to support the argument?

A. Teenagers need to drive to participate in activities and jobs

B. Teenagers are better drivers than most adults.

C. Teenagers can learn more rules about driving safety


D. Teenagers learn to drive better later by starting young
