The doctor was so pleased with the new specimen that he gave Effie a shilling, and presently the professor stepped round. He stayed to lunch, and he and the doctor quarreled very happily all the afternoon about the name and the family of the thing that had come out of Effie's eye.

But at teatime another thing happened. Effie's brother Harry fished something out of his tea, which he thought at first was an earwig. He was just getting ready to drop it on the floor, and end its life in the usual way, when it shook itself in the spoon—spread two wet wings, and flopped onto the tablecloth. There it sat, stroking itself with its feet and stretching its wings, and Harry said: "Why, it's a tiny newt!"
BRAINLIEST AND 45 POINTS



The professor leaned forward before the doctor could say a word. "I'll give you half a crown for it, Harry, my lad," he said, speaking very fast; and then he picked it up carefully on his handkerchief.

"It is a new specimen," he said, "and finer than yours, Doctor."

It was a tiny lizard, about half an inch long—with scales and wings.

So now the doctor and the professor each had a specimen, and they were both very pleased. But before long these specimens began to seem less valuable. For the next morning, when the knife-boy was cleaning the doctor's boots, he suddenly dropped the brushes and the boot and the blacking, and screamed out that he was burnt.

And from inside the boot came crawling a lizard as big as a kitten, with large, shiny wings.

"Why," said Effie, "I know what it is. It is a dragon like the one St. George killed."

And Effie was right. That afternoon Towser was bitten in the garden by a dragon about the size of a rabbit, which he had tried to chase, and the next morning all the papers were full of the wonderful "winged lizards" that were appearing all over the country. The papers would not call them dragons, because, of course, no one believes in dragons nowadays—and at any rate the papers were not going to be so silly as to believe in fairy stories. At first there were only a few, but in a week or two the country was simply running alive with dragons of all sizes, and in the air you could sometimes see them as thick as a swarm of bees. They all looked alike except as to size. They were green with scales, and they had four legs and a long tail and great wings like bats' wings, only the wings were a pale, half-transparent yellow, like the gear-boxes on bicycles.

Read this excerpt from The Great Fire.

Several minutes passed before Schaffer looked up from what he was doing and saw flames leaping wildly into the black sky. The light was from a different fire after all; he'd been fooled because this new blaze was almost directly behind the still-flickering remnants of the Saturday October 7 fire.

He studied the flames, trying to determine their exact location. This wasn't easy because of the distance and tall buildings between him and the flames. In addition, the moonless sky was made even murkier by the swirling, smoky haze. Schaffer signaled down the speaking tube and had his assistant strike Box 342. This sent engines rumbling through the streets — to a location almost a mile away from the O'Learys' barn.

Finding Your evidence
Can parents go too far in supporting their children’s dreams? This is a question
people sometimes ask when they hear the story of the teenage mountain climber,
Jordan Romero. Between the ages of 10 and 15, Jordan climbed the highest mountain
on every continent—and his father and stepmother climbed them with him. They call
themselves Team Jordan.
Paul Romero, Jordan’s father, was taken by surprise when his 9-year-old son
firmly announced his intention to climb “the seven summits.” Jordan had seen a mural at
school, showing the seven peaks that make up this pantheon of mountains. When he
told his father what he wanted to do, Paul Romero’s jaw dropped. Paul Romero is an
experienced mountaineer, so he knew what was involved. He also knew his son.
“We’ve always taught him to just think big and we’ll try to make it happen,” Paul
Romero said. But, as Romero later noted, there was a fine line between encouraging
his son and pushing him too far. The father began by training his son so that he could
“begin to even understand what mountaineering was—that there’s this long, hard, dirty,
un-fun hours and days and weeks of carrying packs and long, extensive, brutal travel,
and all this type of stuff just before you can even think of climbing a mountain.”
Jordan persevered, though, and in July 2006, when he was 10 years old, Jordan
and his family climbed 19,300-foot-high Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak on the

African continent. This was the first rung in the amazing ladder that Jordan Romero had
set out to climb. Over the next five and a half years, Team Jordan climbed Mount Elbrus
in Russia (2007), Mount Aconcagua in South America (2007), Mount McKinley in North
America (2008), Mount Carstensz Pyramid in Indonesia (2009), Mount Everest in Asia
(2010), and Vinson Massif in Antarctica (2011). In many of these climbs, Jordan set a
world record as the youngest ever to climb the peak. When he completed the seven
summits at 15, he was the youngest person ever to accomplish that feat.
It was the Mount Everest ascent—when Jordan was only 13 years old—that has
created the greatest controversy. Jordan’s feat as the youngest person to reach “the
top of the world” was publicized around the world. “How Young Is Too Young?” asked
one newspaper headline. Many mountain climbers and medical experts questioned
whether a 13-year-old boy could climb so high (Mount Everest is almost 30,000 feet
high) without physically harming his body. Dr. Michael Bradley, a psychologist and
expert on teen behavior, noted, “Most 13-year-olds don’t have the wiring to make
cognitive life-and-death decisions and are not truly able to understand what they’re
signing on for.” Another physician, Dr. Peter Hackett, reported that there are conflicting
opinions about the effects on a young brain. Some theories say that a young brain is
more resilient; others say that it may be more vulnerable.
Many climbers take exception to the publicity surrounding Team Jordan. Everest
climber Todd Burleson summed it up by saying, “He’s got his whole life to climb
Everest. Being the youngest boy to climb is a fashionable, celebrity-oriented sort of
thing. But it’s not about the mountains. It’s like trying to get your PhD at ten.” Paul
Romero claims that he is fully aware of the risks. There is a fine line between
encouraging Jordan and pushing him too far, he says. He talked about the point where
Jordan might have “reached his maximum mentally, physically, and where the risk has
become too high.” He said, “Jordan has just not even come close to that point yet.”
And what about Jordan, now that he has accomplished his goal of climbing the
seven summits before his 16th birthday? Unsurprisingly, he has a new mission. He calls
it Find Your Everest. In 2012 Team Jordan set out to encourage young people to be
active and healthy and to pursue their own adventures. In the process, he is inviting
young people to join him in climbing the highest peak in each state. (They range from
Denali or Mount McKinley at 20,320 feet to Florida’s greatest height—345-foot-high
Britton Hill!)
“I feel good about what my parents have taught me about setting goals,” Jordan
says. And now he wants to spread that message to others.

The first step in her downward course was in her ceasing to instruct me. She now commenced to practice her husband's precepts. She finally became even more violent in her opposition than her husband himself. She was not satisfied with simply doing as well as he had commanded; she seemed anxious to do better. Nothing seemed to make her more angry than to see me with a newspaper. She seemed to think that here lay the danger. I have had her rush at me with a face made all up of fury, and snatch from me a newspaper, in a manner that fully revealed her apprehension. She was an apt woman; and a little experience soon demonstrated, to her satisfaction, that education and slavery were incompatible with each other.

Review this excerpt from the video script on apprenticeship.
“By the Middle Ages, apprenticeships extended beyond the craft fields. Universities began offering what would essentially become master’s degrees or practical experience in the field of study. Even religious orders created long, practice-based training periods. Lawyers gained experience by working as apprentices with master attorneys.”
Why is, “During the Middle Ages, many fields adopted the practice of apprenticeships to ensure trainees had practice experience” a good summary of this text?
a. It establishes a connection between the main ideas.
b. It is one sentence
c. It shares a strong opinion.
d. It copies what the text says so there’s no chance for misunderstanding.
