In the summer of 999, Leif Erikson
voyaged to Norway and spent the following winter with King Olaf Tryggvason.

Leif discovered America. The Flat Island Book, however, tells of another and
earlier landfall by Biarni, the son of a prominent man named Heriulf, and makes
that the inspiration for the voyage to the new land by Leif. In brief, like

That summer an army of crickets started
a war with my father. They picked a fight the minute they invaded our cellar.
Dad didn’t care for bugs much more than Mamma, but he could tolerate a few
spiders and assorted creepy crawlers living in the basement. Every farm house
had them. A part of rustic living, and something you needed to put up with if
you wanted the simple life. He told Mamma: Now that were living
out here, you can’t be jerking your head and swallowing your gum over what’s
plain natural, Ellen. But she was a city girl through and through and had no
ears when it came to defending vermin. She said a cricket was just a noisy
cockroach, just a dumb horny bug that wouldn’t shut up. She said in the city
there were blocks of buildings overrun with cockroaches with no way for people
to get rid of t A. urban. B. rural. C. metropolitan. D. extravagant.

twenty-eight thousand homeless people were offered shelter by the city of New
York. Of this number, twelve thousand were children and six thousand were
parents living together in families. The average child was six years old, the
average parent twenty-seven. A typical homeless family included a mother with
two or three children, but in about one-fifth of these families two parents were
present. Roughly ten thousand single persons, then, made up the remainder of the
population of the city’s shelter. These proportions vary
somewhat from one area of the nation to another. In all areas, however, families
are the fastest-growing sector of the homeless population, and in the Northeast
they are by far the largest sector already. In Massachusetts, three-fourths of
the homeless now are families with children; in certain parts of
Massachusetts--Attleboro and Northhampton, for example--the proportion r A. more people in families than single persons B. about six thousand families C. 3 children in family D. more families with two parents than one

In the late summer of 2005, the
remarkable flooding brought by Hurricane Katrina, which caused more than $ 200
billion in losses, was the worst natural disaster in U.S. history. However, even
in typical years, flooding causes billions of dollars in damage and threatens
lives and property in every State. Natural processes, such as
hurricanes and weather systems can cause floods. Failure of levees and dams and
inadequate drainage in urban areas can also result in flooding. On average,
floods kill about 140 people each year and cause $ 6 billion in property damage.
Although loss of life to floods during the past half-century has declined,
mostly because of improved warning systems, economic losses have continued to
rise due to increased urbanization and coastal development.
Flooding happens during heavy rains, when riv A. The tragedy happening in 2005 is an exception from a country that barely witness floods so frequently. B. Flood is not such a serious problem as hurricanes and other forms of natural disasters in U. S.. C. That is an extreme example to represent the serious problem of flood U. S. has been faced with for many years. D. The example in 2005 is typical, just like any other year in U. S..

In an article some Chinese scholars are
described as being "tantalized by the mysterious dragon bone hieroglyphics."
Tantalized is one of many English words that have their origins in myths and
legends of the past (in this case, Greek and Roman ones). The meaning of the
verb tantalize is a very particular one : "to promise or show something
desirable to a person and then take it away; to tease by arousing hope." Many
(but not all) English dictionaries give you a brief indication of a word’s
origins in brackets before or after the explanation of the meaning. For
tantalize the following explanation is given: [>Tantalus]. This means that you
should look up the name Tantalus to find out the word’s origins, and if you do,
you will find out that in Greek mythology, Tantalus was a king who was punished
in the lower A. Jovial. B. Wednesday. C. Earth. D. March.
