7 Question Reading Strategy
Good Idea!
Whenever you read something new you should apply reading strategies to that work so that you can be sure you really learn it! This is just one example!

As we read through this chapter, we are going to practice a reading strategy that will help you process your thoughts as you read. The first two questions on the worksheet need to be answered before you begin reading. Questions three through five are to be answered while reading. The last two questions should be answered after you are done reading. As there is not necessarily a correct response to the worksheet, you will do it on your own. You will be asked to write a reflective paragraph about the activity at the end of the lesson, so work carefully.

In this chapter, we have met Toulouse-Lautrec. Vincent van Gogh is very attracted to his boisterous personality, and we see that van Gogh is extremely shy when going to his meetings in his salon. We see as the chapter progresses though, that van Gogh comes out of his shell a great deal, and ends up being much more comfortable with the other artists.

When we came into this chapter, it seemed as though Vincent may not be successful as a “trained” artist since he struggled so much in his art class. This may have impacted your prediction somewhat. As the chapter goes on, we see a lot of highs and lows from Vincent’s behavior. When he is painting the river Seine, he is animated and excited. When he is drinking too much, and after he has worn out his stay, he seems to be miserable and depressed.

One thing is sure, after he has experienced this time in Paris, he has grown a great deal as an artist. We still do not know at this point, however, if he will achieve success, in whatever manner he defines it.

Choose ONE of the following relationship scenarios and discuss whether the relationship is healthy, unhealthy, or abusive. Be clear about which situation you are discussing. Make sure to give specific examples and use information from the websites above to support your opinion.

1. Mary and Chris have been dating for three years. When they first started dating, Mary was very sweet to Chris, but lately, they have been arguing a lot. Mary screams and pushes Chris's chest with her hand when things get really heated, but then later acts sweet again and says she's sorry. She also says if Chris didn't spend so much time texting or playing games on the phone, she wouldn't get so angry and push Chris. Mary has threatened to flush Chris's cell phone down the toilet a few times and has demanded all of Chris's social media passwords so she can access them.

2.Jajuan and Felicia have been dating a few months. Jajuan gets annoyed when Felicia wants to go out with her friends or go shopping with her sister instead of hanging out with him. (She likes to try new restaurants when she goes out to eat with her friends; Jajuan wants to eat only pizza and will not go to any other restaurant). Jajuan also calls or texts her several times when she is out, "just to say hi.” When they argue about it, Jajuan sometimes refuses to talk to Felicia for a day or two. He said she must not care about him or she'd hang out with him instead of other people.

3.Kaleb and Rochelle have been dating for a few months. He is not a huge fan of softball but goes to some of her games because he knows it is important to her. Rochelle goes to her dad's house out of town every other weekend; Kaleb misses her but uses the time to go out with friends and work on the motorcycle he's restoring. Kaleb sends her a text once or twice during those weekends (and she texts him too) but doesn't get annoyed if she doesn't get back right away. Rochelle has a toddler from a prior relationship; Kaleb understands that the ex is not with her anymore but that the sex IS a part of the child's life and respects that. He doesn't get jealous or angry if Rochelle gets texts from the ex about their child. If she can't go out because the child is ill or there's no sitter, he is disappointed but doesn't complain or resent the child.

Well, with the wasps gone, the caterpillars hatched out with nothing to keep them in check and chewed the roofs to pieces, and that was unfortunate, we admit it, and we had a real cost overrun on replacing those roofs with tin ... but the people were happier, I think, in the long run, because let's face it, no matter how tightly you weave those palm leaves, they're just not going to keep the water out like tin. Of course, nothing's perfect, and we had a lot of complaints about the rain drumming on the panels, people unable to sleep and what-have-you. ...

There is a tale, “The Ring of Gyges,” that Feldman sometimes tells his economist friends. It comes from Plato’s Republic. A student named Glaucon offered the story in response to a lesson by Socrates—who, like Adam Smith, argued that people are generally good even without enforcement. Glaucon, like Feldman’s economist friends, disagreed. He told of a shepherd named Gyges who stumbled upon a secret cavern with a corpse inside that wore a ring. When Gyges put on the ring, he found that it made him invisible. With no one able to monitor his behavior, Gyges proceeded to do woeful things—seduce the queen, murder the king, and so on. Glaucon’s story posed a moral question: could any man resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed? Glaucon seemed to think the answer was no. But Paul Feldman sides with Socrates and Adam Smith—for he knows the answer, at least 87 percent of the time, is yes. The example in the excerpt helps the authors arrive at which of the following conclusions? The majority of people are corrupt. The majority of people are honest. Glaucon and Paul Feldman were wrong. Socrates and Adam Smith were wrong.

Smoking Doesn’t Just Hurt Your Health
(excerpt)

The arguments about smoking are usually centered around its effects on the health of smokers and nonsmokers alike. Entire ad campaigns have been developed around the idea of educating smokers about the risk that smoking poses to their health. Chances are you’ve encountered the photo of that diseased lung in your health class. Lawsuits against tobacco companies have gained a lot of media attention. Cities have gone so far as to ban smoking inside buildings, restaurants, and bars. But have you ever stopped to think about what smoking does to the environment?

It is easy to guess that smoking might pollute the air. Did you know that tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals? Fifty of those chemicals are known to cause cancer, and two hundred are known poisons. Think about the fact that 20 percent of Americans smoke. Can you imagine how many chemicals are released into the air each year?

Cigarettes also account for an estimated 1.7 billion pounds of trash each year. Some people say the ban on smoking indoors in some cities could contribute negatively to this statistic. Because people are smoking outside, the number of cigarette butts they leave behind may increase dramatically.

A.
Smoking pollutes the air in public places, such as buildings, restaurants, and bars.
B.
Smoking not only produces negative effects on human health but also on the environment.
C.
Smoking damages the environment more severely than it damages human health.
D.
Smoking increases water pollution when cigarette butts are dumped into waterways.
E.
Smoking harms wild animals by polluting and destroying their natural habitats.
