AGiraffe is Born In a wild animal park not far from Joss's home, she was assigned to look after Gracie the giraffe. Joss was very excited. It would be her first time working with a large animal. Her earlier job had been with porcupines, deer and the park's famous otters. “Gracie is going to have a baby,” said Joss's supervisor. “The vet believes her calf will come next spring. We know you will do a good job with Gracie, the father George and the new calf when it comes. It will be a big transition for both Gracie and George." Though Joss was already qualified to work with big animals, for the next few months she read everything she could find about giraffes becoming parents. She and Gracie rapidly became friends, and Gracie never kicked Joss like she sometimes kicked the vet. Joss watched as Gracie grew and changed. As she cared for the animal, Joss felt like she was part of the giraffe family. It seemed to take forever until the following spring when Gracie was due to have her calf. However, nothing seemed to happen. Weeks dragged by. Children visiting the park would always ask Joss, “When will we see the calf?” and Joss always EJ1P2.5answered, “As soon as the calf is ready.” Joss tried to be patient, but she was as eager as the visitors. She talked to Gracie every day and asked when the calf would be coming. Of course, Gracie never answered. One night, the vet asked Joss to keep watch with him. He felt the calf would be born soon. So Joss brought a sleeping bag to the giraffes’ pen. But she didn't use it. She couldn't sleep any better than Gracie, who stopped eating and began pacing around her stall. Joss offered words of encouragement as she tried to stay calm for Gracie's sake. By morning, the vet said it would be any time } now. Giraffe calves are bom quickly, and Gracie must have known this. A short time after tiny hooves i could be seen, the baby giraffe was born! Joss was thrilled. The calf got to his feet almost immediately. George looked on from his stall, greatly interested. Gracie gave her calf a giraffe bath with her tongue, and the baby began to walk around. He wobbled alot, but he soon found his mother and ate for the first time. Joss knew she would enjoy taking care of this beautiful, tall family for a long time to come. EJ1P2.6 y tt (22 eeese the | passage to answer the following questions.

In the 1960s, American scientists worked with the government to send men to the moon. One of the programs they designed was called the “Apollo program.” Its goal was to land two astronauts on the moon and bring them back safely. Apollo 11 achieved this goal in 1969, so more missions were planned. Apollo 13 was sentupin 1970. Two days into the mission, the crew heard a loud bang. They were 250,000 miles from Earth and the power on the spacecraft went out. Astronaut John Swigert called to the control room with the now famous, “Houston, we've had a problem.” The crew lost electrical power and there was grave concern about whether the spacecraft could safely make it back to Earth's atmosphere without burning up and costing the lives of the three astronauts inside. They looked outside the window and knew they were in serious trouble because oxygen was diffusing into space. The team on the ground worked on the problem. Many of these technicians were highly skilled with math, electronics and other areas of science. Their leader, Gene Kranz, told them it was imperative 10 EJ1P3.5come up with solutions to save the astronauts. He said, “Failure is not an option!” The team had only a limited amount of time to arrive at answers. One of the flight control teams, headed by John Aaron, devised a method to save as much electrical power as possible in the spacecraft. The astronauts followed the procedure he sent them and made the power last until they could land safely in the sea. The crew prepared for splashdown. There were many other problems with the flight. The team found answers to them all. The astronauts didn't get to land on the moon, which made the mission a failure. The shuttle was redesigned with better wires and an additional tank, so later missions wouldn't face the same problem. Although the problems left a bad mark on NASA, the crew made ithome safely, which made the trip a brilliant success. Buse the passage to answer the following questions.

We climbed up a ladder and stepped off a platform onto the wheel. Walking made it turn. It had non-slip surfaces like the ones in a bathtub. But we often fell off into the water, which was exactly the point! The boys would offen try to bamboozle us by telling us girls they'd stop the wheel so we could get on and have a nice ride. However, they never meant to do so. As soon as two or three girls climbed onto the wheel, one of the boys would get on and run as fast as he could, so we would alll fall off. We always yelled, screamed and feigned anger, but we were having so much fun, we didn't care. Another feature most of us enjoyed was the tall water slide. It had a long ladder we had to climb up. At the top, the attendant described the right way to slide: feet first, with hands behind the head.

Sarah was known as a “picky eater.” Her family joked that she must be solar-powered, because she ate very few things. She even refused to drink water because “it had no flavor.” Instead, she drank milk or juice. Sarah's brother Michael, on the other hand, tried new things all the time. Before his twelfth birthday, he tried every item on the menu. He would eat almost anything offered to him. Although he wasn't a picky eater like his sister, he still loved their trips to Chik-a-Dine.

The Lady with the Lamp In the early 1800s, a girl and her family lived a rich lifestyle. They owned several luxurious homes in England. This girl was named Florence Nightingale. gut she did not fit into her wealthy family. From her early years, she wanted more than parties, dances and good times, so she trained as a nurse and went to help those she called “my brothers and my sisters.” Florence's family did not approve of her choice. In those days, wealthy women got married—they did not have careers. The family tried their best to obstruct her plans by telling her a nurse's life was a very hard one. But she told them, “This is the life | was born for—the life | must lead.” Since there were no schools for nurses in England, she went to Germany to be trained. Later, she assembled a team of nurses and nuns and went out to a place where a war was going on. There, she found many injured soldiers who were not getting much care, The medical team was overworked and could not keep the hospital as clean as it should be. But Florence and her team changed conditions in the hospital by cleaning it, making sure the soldiers were fed and fighting the infections that can arise EJ1P6.5after war injuries.
