Taylor Swift was born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania, and raised in Wyomissing,
Pennsylvania. She is the daughter of Andrea Gardner (ne Finlay), a homemaker who previously worked
in finance, and Scott Kingsley Swift, a stockbroker. Her maternal grandmother, Marjorie Finlay (ne
Moehlenkamp), was an opera singer. Swift has a younger brother, Austin. She grew up on a Christmastree farm.

When Swift was in fourth grade, she won a national poetry contest with a three-page poem, "Monster in
My Closet". At the age of ten, a computer repairman showed her how to play three chords on a guitar,
sparking her interest in learning the instrument. Afterwards, Swift wrote her first song, "Lucky You". When
Swift was 12, she devoted an entire summer to writing a 350-page novel, which remains
unpublished. She began writing songs regularly and used it as an outlet to help her with her pain from not
fitting in at school. Swift was a victim of bullying, and spent her time writing songs to express her
emotions. She also started performing at local karaoke contests, festivals, and fairs.

Swift began to regularly visit Nashville, Tennessee, and work with local songwriters. When she was 14,
her family relocated to Nashville. Her first major show was a well-received performance at
the Bloomsburg Fair. In Tennessee, Swift attended Hendersonville High School, but was subsequently
homeschooled for her junior and senior years. In 2008, she earned her high school diploma.

love for Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton. She also credits the Dixie Chicks for demonstrating the impact that
one can have by "stretching boundaries".

Match the information with the correct animal.

1. The average adult grizzly bear weighs between 300 and 600 pounds. Despite its fearsome reputation,
this icon of the North American wilderness is vulnerable in the face of an increasingly fragmented
landscape.
2. The jaguar has a powerful, compact body built for stealth and sudden attacks. Revered by cultures
throughout the Americas, jaguars face mounting challenges as humans convert their habitat for other
uses.
3. Simba, the Swahili word for lion, means king. This majestic cat once roamed throughout Africa and
Asia. Asiatic lions are almost extinct, and in Africa, lions face a shaky future.
4. The Andean bear has light fur resembling huge glasses around its eyes. These bears once had a safe
haven in the undeveloped Andes foothills, but deforestation is causing populations to shrink.
5. Habitat for the common hippo, and its pygmy cousin, has greatly diminished over the last 200 years,
and the ivory within the hippo's teeth and tusks increases their risk of being hunted. Possibly the most
dangerous animal in Africa, these large herbivores are very territorial, and faster than they look.
6. The largest land mammal, the African savannah elephant is a big contributor to the overall health of
Africa's grassland ecosystems.
7. Its acrobatic stunts and haunting songs have made southern humpback whale a tourist attraction
worldwide. The future of the species depends on the conservation of marine habitats and wildlife.
8. Mountain gorillas have thick coats that insulate them from the cold of their cloud forest homes. This
endangered subspecies of gorilla exists in just two locations in equatorial Africa.
