Answer 30

For decades, centuries even, the most common way to train a dog was to punish the dog when it did something wrong. This is known as negative training. Often, a choke chain would be used. If the dog did something wrong, such as jumping up on someone or chasing a squirrel, the dog’s trainer would swiftly yank on the chain. The choke chain would then squeeze the dog’s throat in an uncomfortable way. Dogs learned that they would be choked if they chased squirrels, so they stopped chasing them. Usually.
Over the past 20 years, there has been a growing movement of positive dog training. In this method, the dog is taught to do the correct thing rather than being taught not to do the incorrect thing. For example, in positive dog training, the dog is not punished for chasing squirrels. Instead, the dog is rewarded, often with a treat, for staying still by the trainer when squirrels are nearby. After a dog has been rewarded enough times for doing something correctly, eventually it continues to do the correct thing even without a reward. Sometimes, the reward is changed to kind words and rubs rather than treats.
There are several benefits to positive dog training. First of all, the person training the dog never has to hurt the dog. Usually, if a person owns a dog, he or she loves dogs and doesn’t really like hurting them. Secondly, the dog never has a reason to fear the owner. Fear is what causes dogs to bite people, sometimes for no reason. They are just trying to protect themselves from whatever they fear. If a dog does not fear a person, it has no reason to bite. Overall, this method of training creates a respectful relationship between pet and owner. Rather than one being dominant over the other, both dog and owner are working together. This type of bond can be deeper and more meaningful than any bond built upon hurting and pain.

Answer 31

The second paragraph is mostly about
A. how positive dog training is done.
B. how to keep a dog from jumping up.
C. how positive and negative dog training differ.
D. how to keep a dog from chasing squirrels.

Answer 42

After working in the blistering sun all day, Yoshi returned to her bungalow at the far end of the beach. She knew volunteering for the cleanup crew after the storm would require long days and hard work. Clearing the fallen branches and debris was not the problem. She was strong and felt capable of all the lifting, carrying, and dragging. It was the heat that made this job particularly difficult.
Lately, the weather seemed to be unable to make up its mind. First there was the storm, which brought heavy rains and wind damage to the coastline. Then, the very next day, it turned sunny and beautiful. By the time the cleanup crew was organized, temperatures had risen to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yoshi opened all the windows and sat down on her mat. The cool evening breeze flowing in was a welcome contrast to the heat of the day, and the bungalow seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She felt drained, sore, and tired, but she also felt honored that she was able to help with such an important effort.

Answer 43

The author uses the phrase "the bungalow seemed to breathe a sigh of relief" to show that
A. Yoshi felt as if she was completely out of breath.
B. the temperature inside the bungalow was rising.
C. Yoshi felt very satisfied from the day of work.
D. cool air was circulating throughout the bungalow.

Answer 45

One of the biggest unsolved mysteries for scientists is figuring out what happened to the dinosaurs. About 64 million years ago, dinosaurs died out, and scientists today are still trying to determine the cause. The one thing that most scientists agree on is that the climate on Earth changed, which made it harder for the dinosaurs to survive.
Some scientists think that the change in Earth's climate happened quickly and was caused by something that was not from this planet. Their theory is that an asteroid hit the Earth. The impact of the asteroid created a large dust cloud that blocked the Sun. When the Sun could not reach Earth, many plants died, making food harder to find for the dinosaurs.
Another idea is that the climate change was slow and was caused by events happening on Earth. The plates that make up the planet's surface shifted. Some scientists think that as the plates moved, pieces of the land separated, and many volcanoes erupted. Both events would have changed the climate, but the change would have happened over a long period of time.
Whichever theory is true, we know that the dinosaurs are no longer here—probably because of the change in Earth's climate during that time. Until scientists find more evidence, the disappearance of the dinosaurs will remain a mystery.

The family moved to Clarksville, Tennessee, which is where Wilma grew up. When Wilma was young, she had polio and scarlet fever. The polio left her without the use of one of her legs. She needed to wear leg braces to walk. Eventually, she was able to walk with a special shoe. After about three years, she didn't need the special shoe anymore.
In high school, Wilma played basketball and ran track. She broke all the state basketball records and won all her track meets. Wilma went to Tennessee State University and started training for the Olympics. In July of 1960, Wilma went to the Olympics in Rome, Italy.

Ancient Greek Myths and Legends

Ancient Greek myths and legends served many purposes for the people who told them, as well as for their listeners. The stories were equal parts religion and history, with characters and scenarios that were designed to thrill, frighten, entertain, and instruct. Certain individuals and groups reappear throughout many of the ancient stories.

Olympian Gods
There are twelve gods that were the center of ancient Greek worship and who, according to legend, lived atop Mount Olympus. Zeus is considered the ruler of all of them, and is accompanied by his queen, Hera. The Olympians also include Apollo the sun god, Ares the god of war, Hermes, Hephaestus, Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, Hestia, and Poseidon.

Demi-gods
Many other gods exist in Greek legend who are important characters but do not live on Olympus and whose powers are weaker than the 12 Olympians. Many stories are devoted to the god Pan who is half human, half goat, and who protects the forests and the fields. Other demi-gods in this group include Selene, the goddess of the moon, and Zephyr, the god of the west wind.

Heroes
Many of the heroes of Greek mythology are almost gods themselves, and often have the blood of gods in their veins. Odysseus is the mortal grandchild of Hermes, while Achilles is the human son of a river goddess. The great Heracles is the son of Zeus.

Monsters
Along with the heroes are the monsters they fight. This group includes characters like Medusa, who can turn victims to stone, or the giant, Cyclops, who tried to eat Odysseus.

Answer 61

My new dog is a mutt, or a mix of breeds, most likely a mix between a basset hound and a beagle. No one knows for sure, though. His name is Capote, and he is a really attractive dog, small but sturdy. He has great posture and always looks proud, sticking his chest out slightly and standing tall. There is only one problem, but it’s a big problem: he won’t fetch.
Actually, it’s worse than that. Not only will he not fetch, he’s making me play his game! I throw the ball, and Capote goes running after it, as if fetch is the thing in the world he most enjoys. He begins bringing the ball back to me, but then he runs right past me. I follow him, reaching for the ball and trying to pull it out of his mouth, but he keeps turning away from me, teasing me with the ball! He’s not playing fetch; he’s playing “come chase me!” And he’s training me to do it, too!
Once I realized this, I read some books, and I’ve changed my strategy. If he runs past me with the ball, I don’t follow him, and I don’t reach for the ball. Instead, I turn my back on him and ignore him. He really does like to play, so me ignoring him is a tremendous punishment! Eventually, he’ll bring the ball over to me, and once he does, I immediately throw it. That way, he knows that he’ll be rewarded with another throw if he brings me the ball. He is not a perfect fetch player yet, but I can now tell that one day he will be!

The last few sheets of paper shriveled in the burning flame of the fireplace. They were the remnants of Edie’s story. She had labored night and day for nine months to carefully put her story idea into words. Now, those words were eaten by the fire that swallowed up her papers like a starving animal. Edie’s eyes watered as she thought of the time and effort she put into that story. That work was lost in a matter of seconds after she read the rejection letter from the publishing house.
However, as Edie continued to think about her story, she knew she could write a better story than before. She took up a pad of paper and pen and began to chew over ideas.
