Summary paragraph:
Throughout history, people have considered
wetlands to be land that was wasted and
could be put to better use for human activity.
However, in recent years, people have begun
to realize that wetlands are a valuable part of
the environment for two reasons. First,
wetlands are very productive ecosystems,
containing an immense variety of animal and
plant species that depend on the detritus
(mixture of water and organic material) in
the wetland habitat. Second, wetlands are a
valuable defense against flooding, as was
demonstrated in Massachusetts in 2006. The
city of Haverhill flooded because its wetlands
had been developed, but the city of
Newburyport did not flood because the
floodwaters could spread out and be absorbed
by the wetlands.

Pattern: Cause/Effect
Summary of paragraph 1: In the 1960s,
scientists and WHO made a huge effort to

the plan was dropped.
Summary of paragraph 2: A new type of
pesticide usually gives positive results at first,
but then the insects become resistant to the
pesticide and it becomes less effective.
Summary of paragraph 3: Pesticide
resistance is an example of how organisms
adapt to their environment through the
process of natural selection and change over
time.

Part 1Topic: The preindustrial city
Pattern: Cause/Effect AND Sequence
Summary sentence(s): Because of
technological advances that allowed people
to begin farming, they settled into villages
about 10,000 years ago. Then, about 5,000
years ago, due to further technological
advances, the first cities emerged, though
these were small for various reasons.
Part 2Topic: The industrial city
Pattern: Cause/Effect
Summary sentence(s): The Industrial
Revolution of the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries led to an increase in population,
the displacement of people from rural to
urban areas, and the development of the
industrial city, which was larger, more
densely settled and more diverse than earlier
cities.
Part 3Topic: Metropolis and megalopolis
Pattern: Extended Definition AND Sequence

Summary sentence(s): In the twentieth
century, the automobile allowed wealthier
classes to move to the suburbs, so U.S. cities
began to spread outward. Today most
Americans live in a metropolis (a large urban
area that includes a city and its surrounding
suburbs), or even a megalopolis (an area in
which many metropolises merge).
