People often believe that bigger is better. However, computers became much
(9)
better when we learned. To make them smaller. The first computers were very
large because they were made of so many big parts. One computer was 100 feet
long! Then, about 25 years ago, several Americans invented a computer chip. The
(10)
chip was small. One microchip soon did the work of a room-sized computer.

Abraham Lincoln believed in the saying “If at first you don’t succeed,
try, try again.” Very early in his career, he lost many elections. In 1843 Lincoln
(21)
was defeated when he ran for Congress. In 1855 and again three years later, he
lost elections for the United States Senate. These defeats did not discourage
Lincoln. On November 6 1860, he finally won a national election. Because

Abraham Lincoln kept trying, he became president of the United States.

SAMPLE A
Blue Jays
No matter where you live, you’ve probably seen blue jays. These birds used to
live mostly in forests. Now many of them live in our cities, too.
From bill to tail, a blue jay is about one foot long. Its wings and tail are bright
blue with black and white lines. The rest of its feathers are light gray or blue.
Around its neck is a thin black band. On top of its head, blue and black feathers
stick up like a little hat.
Blue jays are noisy birds. They are part of the crow family. They don’t sing
sweetly like many birds do. They squawk loudly!
Blue jays have strong bills. This helps them eat many foods. They like to eat
bugs, fruits, and nuts. They even eat other birds’ eggs. When other birds hear a
blue jay coming, they know it’s time to protect their nests!
