Then answef the questions that follow. a In some parts of the world, it's not uncommon to feel the Earth shake under your feet. This can be q very disturbing experience if the earthquake is a strong one. Sometimes, if the earthquake is very strong and happens in or near the ocean, the movement causes huge, fast-moving waves called a tsunami. The Tohoku, Japan quake in 2011 resulted in a powerful tsunami. This earthquake was one of the strongest ever recorded. When a quake and tsunami happen in the same region, dire effects result. The district of Sendai suffered major human and environmental effects. In Japan, oil refineries were hit by the tsunami and caught fire. In the district of Fukushima, a nuclear power plant was heavily damaged. Radiation polluted towns for miles around. In another area, highway bridges fell and cut off access to the damaged towns. Trains were washed off their tracks by the tsunami waves and Japan's usually-dependable transportation system was temporarily stopped. Luckily, not all earthquakes are as strong, or do as much damage, as the Tohoku quake. Many small earthquakes occur daily, all over the planet. At EJ1L1.6times, man's activity is thought to cause small quakes, such as the ones sometimes felt near mining operations. Small quakes offen pass unnoticed. Earthquakes small and large are rated for strength according to the Richter magnitude scale. The higher the number of magnitude, the stronger an earthquake is. Magnitude tells an earthquake's effects by measuring seismic, or quake, waves going through the rocks of the planet. This measurement was first developed to measure quakes in southern California. A magnitude of less than 3.0 can barely be felt. An earthquake of magnitude 9.5, like the one that devastated Chile in| South America in 1960, causes widespread, heavy damage. The strongest quake ever felt in America happened in 1964, near Anchorage, Alaska. It measured 9.2 on the Richter scale and caused houses to slide into the sea and destroyed many buildings. passage to Gnswerthe follow! wing questi fons, pores Y Based on the context clues, what does the word dire mean? a. lucky b. positive (cerious EJ1L1.7@ A tsunami can best be described gs. a. damage caused by an earthquake b. a serious earthquake erated by an earthquake Gyocean waves gen What is the main idea of the passage? beE*Plain.

Many gardeners plant this delightful flower because it's easy to grow and produces buds starting from its second year. Its long-lasting nature makes it very popular. Its huge, colorful blossoms appear from late April to late July, year after year. Peonies may not be native to the midwest, but they act like native Midwesterners. lone small Chicago suburb was once known as “The Peony Village” for the beauty of the many plantings around town. | Peonies like full sun and well-drained soil. If they're grown in a warmer climate, they thrive on shade during the heat of the day. In a freshly planted bed, they think over their new home for a couple of years. Blooms aren't seen the first year or until they've considered their new home for a while. Once they start blossoming, they produce large, colorful flowers. The bigger blooms can barely be held in two hands! Besides the traditional pale-pink color, peonies can come in a variety of colors, including white, bright pink, purple and even yellow. As a challenge for gardeners who plant the big “double" variety, the blooms can sometimes weigh down the stalks that support them. Peonies can be | EJ1L2.5* seen bowed to the ground after a heavy rain. To avoid this mishap, smart gardeners surround the young plants with metal support frames. Unlike many flowering plants, peonies seem to thrive on neglect. It makes them perfect for gardeners with little time to fuss. They don't care for lots of feitilizer; in fact they do better if not disturbed much. Some clumps, if left alone, have been known to thrive for over a hundred years. Little ant-like bugs are commonly found on peonies. They're not harmful to the plant, but just drop in to drink its rich nectar from the blossoms. Some gardeners say the plants need the ants in order to bloom, but this may not be true, since some} plants seem to do just fine ant-free. Peonies can grow well in many areas of the U.S. If you decide to plant them, ignore them completely for a couple of years and then get ready to enjoy these fun flowers after they've found their feet a few seasons later.

The tribe sees this as a chance to come together and settle their differences and make friends again. Modern eclipse-lovers often travel long distances to the places where an eclipse can be seen. This short time of the total blackout of the sun by the moon is an exciting and beautiful thing to view. It's called “totality,” and scientists and eclipse-fans go where the path of totality throws its shadow across the planet. Other areas may see a partial eclipse, which is also thrilling to experience. Many planetariums and museums throw ‘eclipse- viewing parties and teach young and old about the fascinating behavior of the stars and the planets. . the passage to answerthe following questions. 5 i Based on the context clues, what does the word engage mean? a. separate b. hide \S involve EJ1L3.6e What is the main’ AaSe of the pass . iO | wyery Paint pag : \ Give two supporting details that support the main idea. r Why aS you think eee feoredi en eclipse? { fh.Impatient means not patient. true Review means to view before.

Like so many other careers, it takes training and experience to become good at photography. Photography is both an art and a science. Science comes in when the photographer begins to learn about the properties of light, which is part of the science called physics. Light waves behave in certain ways, and these properties can be used when taking a picture to produce a certain effect. One of the coolest effects is the way light never stays the same for more than a few moments. Light is always in motion. Some photographers use this property of light to create time-lapse photography, which can show you a flower budding or an explosion in slow motion. Photographers also learn some of the same skills as any graphic artist. Painters, sculptors and computer artists learn some of the same elements of creativity. Composition, balance and creating a pleasing image are part of their education. The use of color in photography is similar to the use of color in painting; a compelling photo will use the same concepts of color, balance and eye movement as Q good drawing.
