One day, Max was reading a magazine article about volcanoes. He told his friends all about
ly
volcanoes and what causes them to erupt. The very next week, his class was assigned a
science project about volcanoes. Guess, who everyone wanted in their project group? Max's
O
poster board with information about volcanoes and to build a volcano model.
SO
Max made copies of the magazine article about volcanoes so his project partners could read
about them too. They also went to the library to look for more information about volcanoes.
The group met at Anna's house that night to organise the information and decide what they
wanted to put on the poster board. They all asked Max what he thought was most important.
Then they decided on the following together.
What causes volcanoes to erupt? The release of pressure when magma rises up through
cracks in the Earth's crust.
How do volcanoes form? Lava from eruptions cools and forms new crust. The crust builds
up after several eruptions to form a volcano. How hot is lava? Lava can get as hot as 1,165
Fahrenheit.
The next night, they met at Josh's house to build their volcano. They used cardboard and
modeling clay. First, they made a volcano shape with the cardboard, and then they covered
the shape in brown and red clay. The red was lava flowing down the volcano. They also
attached red clay to the top of the volcano to make it look like it was erupting.
The volcano looked great. Max, Liz, Anna and Josh were very proud of their hard work.
When they turned in their project, their teacher was proud too. Thanks to Max's good habit,
they earned an A+ on both parts of the project.
What was the science project assigned by the teacher and why did everyone wanted Max on
their team?
The project was about __________.
A plants and animals kingdom; Max imitated animal sounds quite well
B volcanoes; Max had read about them recently and knew a lot about volcanoes
C both A and B
D neither A nor B

he was grumbling at his misfortune, he kept wondering why it was that folks who had so
much money were never satisfied but were always wanting more. "Here," he said, "is the
master of this house–I know him well. He was always a good businessman, and he made
himself wondrously rich a long time ago. Had he been wise, he would have stopped then.
He would have turned over his business to someone else, and then he could have spent the
rest of his life in ease. But what did he do instead? He built ships and sent them to sea to
trade with foreign lands. He thought he would get mountains of gold." "But there were great
storms on the water; his ships were wrecked, and his riches were swallowed up by the
waves. Now, all his hopes lie at the bottom of the sea, and his great wealth has vanished."
"There are many such cases. Men seem to never be satisfied unless they gain the whole
world."
"As for me, if I had only enough to eat and to buy clothing, I would not want anything more."
Just at that moment, Fortune came down the street. She saw the beggar and stopped. She
said to him:
"Listen! I have long wished to help you. Hold your wallet, and I will pour this gold into it, but
only on this condition: all that falls into the wallet shall be pure gold, but every piece that
falls upon the ground shall become dust. Do you understand?"
"Oh, yes, I understand," said the beggar.
"Then be careful," said Fortune. "Your wallet is old, so, do not load it too heavily." The
beggar was so glad that he could hardly wait. He quickly opened his wallet, and a stream of
yellow gold poured into it. The wallet grew heavy.
"Is that enough?" asked Fortune.
"Not yet."
"Isn't it cracking?"
"Never fear."

One day, a ragged beggar was creeping along from house to house. He carried an old
ly
wallet in his hand and was asking at every door for a few cents to buy something to eat. As
he was grumbling at his misfortune, he kept wondering why it was that folks who had so
O
much money were never satisfied but were always wanting more. "Here," he said, "is the
