Everybody in the United States has heard the song about the star-spangled banner. Nearly everybody has sung it. It was written by Francis Scott Key.

Key was a young lawyer. In the War of 1812 he fought with the American army. The British landed soldiers in Maryland. At Bladensburg they fought and beat the Americans. Key was in this battle on the American side.

After the battle the British army took Washington, and burned the public buildings. Key had a friend who was taken prisoner by the British. He was on one of the British ships. Key went to the ships with a flag of truce. A flag of truce is a white flag. It is carried in war when one side sends a message to the other.

When Key got to the British ships, they were sailing to Baltimore. They were going to try to take Baltimore. The British commander would not let Key go back. He was afraid that he would let the Americans know where the ships were going.

Key was kept a kind of prisoner while the ships attacked Baltimore. The ships tried to take the city by firing at it from the water. The British army tried to take the city on the land side.

The ships did their worst firing at night. They tried to take the little fort near the city.

Key could see the battle. He watched the little fort. He was afraid that the men in it would give up. He was afraid that the fort would be broken down by the cannon balls.

The British fired bomb-shells and rockets at the fort. When these burst, they made a light. By this light Key could see that the little fort was still standing. He could see the flag still waving over it. He tells this in his song in these words:

"And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there."

But after many hours of fighting the British became discouraged. They found that they could not take the city. The ships almost ceased to fire.

Key did not know whether the fort had been knocked down or not. He could not see whether the flag was still flying or not. He thought that the Americans might have given up. He felt what he wrote in the song:

"Oh! say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?"

When the break of day came, Key looked toward the fort. It was still standing. There was a flag flying over it. It grew lighter. He could see that it was the American flag. His feelings are told in two lines of the song:

"Tis the star spangled banner, oh, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave!"

Key was full of joy. He took an old letter from his pocket. The back of this letter had no writing on it. Here he wrote the song about the star-spangled banner.

5. The bedbugs in Paul Bunyan's camp were a thousand times more unpleasant than regular
bedbugs. Lumberjacks are tough. The bed bugs that fed on lumberjacks became the toughest
bed bugs in the world. These bugs would swallow a whole bed, pillow and all, more easily than
you or I would eat a sandwich. Paul thought that the best thing to do with the bugs was to train
them to haul logs. Each bed bug was more vicious than a runaway buzzsaw. Taming them was
impossible. Paul Bunyan isn't one to admit defeat. He decided to try the bed bugs on a new diet.
Instead of lumberjack blood, Paul fed them wildcat teeth and dynamite. The bed bugs shrank
until each wasn't any bigger than a medium-sized moose. When Paul saw how tiny the bogs
had gotten, he stamped his foot in glee and accidentally squashed them all.

My mom is always repeating the same old joke: if your friends all jumped off a cliff, would you jump, too? Of course not. But I get what she means. She's talking about peer pressure. Teenagers like us live with it every day. Pretty much every kid wants to be liked, to have friends, to be popular. No one wants people to think they aren't cool. While peer pressure is tough, giving in to it and getting in trouble is tougher.

But teenagers are still learning to make good decisions. Like this one time my friend Harold wanted to take his dad's prized Jeep Grand Cherokee for a drive. Harold was 13, and he'd never driven a car before. But he figured he knew enough about operating a motor vehicle just by watching his parents drive. When his parents were out of town one weekend, Harold invited me and some of our friends over to his house so he could take us for a drive. I said, "Not me," because I knew it was a stupid thing to do. I told him and everybody else what I thought of the idea. (Driving isn't easy. It took my big brother weeks to get the hang of it.) Harold got mad and told me I was being a chicken. I said, "I'd rather be a chicken than get in an accident and have a broken leg."

Read these excerpts from Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist and identify the meaning of the words in bold based on their context.
Now. Mr.Bumble was a fat man, and a choleric so, instead of responding to this open-hearted salutation in a kindred spirit, he gave the little
wicket a tremendous shake, and then bestowed upon it a kick which could have emanated from no leg but a beadle's.
Oliver, having had by this time as much of the outer coat of dirt which encrusted his face and hands, removed, as could be scrubbed off in
one washing, was led into the room by his benevolent protectress.
The boys polished them with their spoons till they shone again; and when they had performed this operation (which never took very long, the
spoons being nearly as large as the bowls), they would sit staring at the copper with such eager eyes, as if they could have devoured the very
bricks of which it was composed; employing themselves, meanwhile, in sucking their fingers most assiduously, with the view of catching up
any stray splashes of gruel that might have been cast thereon.
choleric =
encrusted =
assiduously =

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
How do the details in this passage support the authors'
purpose?
Sugar is different from honey. It offers a stronger sweet
flavor, and like steel or plastic, it had to be invented. In the
Age of Sugar, Europeans bought a product made thousands
of miles away that was less expensive than the honey from
down the road. That was possible only because sugar set
people in motion all across the world-millions of them as
slaves, in chains; a few in search of their fortunes. A perfect
taste made possible by the most brutal labor: That is the
dark story of sugar.
The comparison of honey to sugar production helps
persuade readers that honey is better than sugar.
The details about sugar's dependency on slavery help
inform readers about why sugar was inexpensive.
The details about the sugar's strong flavor entertain the
reader with stories of how people invented sugar.
The comparison of the invention of sugar to steel helps
persuade readers that sugar is easier to make than steel.
