To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;

George Washington, the first President of the United States, is often refereed to as the Founding Father of Our Country. He was born at "Wakefield," near Popes Creek, Westmoreland County, VA, on February 22, 1732. During his lifetime, Washington became known for his love of the land and farming, and many argue that he was perhaps the one indispensable man among the founders. It is hard to imagine any of the others commanding the respect needed to lead the Continental Army to victory over Great Britain, preside over the Constitutional Convention, and serve the United States as its first president. While still in his teens, Washington became a land surveyor, which gave him a solid grounding in mathematics and the evaluation of topography. This would later serve him well as a military commander. As a lieutenant colonel of the Virginia militia, Washington led a force into the Ohio Valley to contest French domination of that region. He was in command of the British forces at the Battle of Fort Necessity in the summer of 1754, the war that ended with the removal of French power from North America and set the stage for the American Revolution. Washington gained valuable military experience in that conflict. Inheriting Mt. Vernon, a family planation on the Potomac River, in 1761, Washington spent the next 15 years as a planter, also serving in the House of Burgesses the (the colonial legislature in Virginia). He took the patriot side in the disputes with Great Britain in the 1760s and 1770s, and he was elected to the first Continental Congress in 1774. With the coming of open war with Britain in 1775, the congress decided to make Washington commander in chief of the new Continental Army. Washington had as much military experience as anyone in the colonies, and his selection helped gain the allegiance of Virginia, by far the most populous of the 13 colonies. After accepting the British surrender at Yorktown in October 1781, Washington retired to Mt. Vernon to revive his plantation and financial position. His political career continued when he was elected to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and reluctantly served as its presiding officer. Washington's support of the Constitution was critical in its acceptance by the states. He was a virtually unanimous choice for the nation's first president. Washington served two terms and could easily have gained a third had he wished to do so. Instead, he established the precedent of a two-term maximum. In the last years of his life, he was appointed as lieutenant general and commander of the United States Army again on July 3, 1798, and he served until his death on December 14, 1799. 4 Select the correct answer. What is the author's purpose in "George Washington"? A. to convince readers that George Washington played a significant role in the win against Great Britain B. to inform readers about George Washington's legacy as the first president of the United States C. to entertain readers with details about George Washington's personal life as a teenager and adult D. to teach readers about the qualities of good leadership based on examples set by George Washington

Which paragraph in the excerpt from Amy Tan’s “Rules of the Game” best shows a conflict between two cultures?

My mother patted the flour off her hands. "Let me see book," she said quietly. She scanned the pages quickly, not reading the foreign English symbols, seeming to search deliberately for nothing in particular.

"This American rules," she concluded at last. "Every time people come out from foreign country, must know rules. You not know, judge say, Too bad, go back. They not telling you why so you can use their way go forward. They say, Don't know why, you find out yourself. But they knowing all the time. Better you take it, find out why yourself." She tossed her head back with a satisfied smile.

I found out about all the whys later. I read the rules and looked up all the big words in a dictionary. I borrowed books from the Chinatown library. I studied each chess piece, trying to absorb the power each contained.

I learned about opening moves and why it's important to control the center early on; the shortest distance between two points is straight down the middle. I learned about the middle game and why tactics between two adversaries are like clashing ideas; the one who plays better has the clearest plans for both attacking and getting out of traps.

Including children in caring for a pet can be a positive experience. It teaches children valuable lessons. Abiding by the decision to take care of a pet teaches young children accountability. When they agree to share the responsibilities, they become liable for their pet's livelihood. The 2011–2012 National Pet Owners Survey reported that "as many as 58 percent of pet owners claimed that caring for their pets taught their children responsibility." There are many age-appropriate tasks that young children can help parents with such as feeding or putting a pet's toys away. Laura Kang, a parent, states, "Sometimes even my most responsible daughter makes mistakes, but I turn these moments into educational ones by coming up with a plan together for how to do better next time." These caregiving tasks also teach children the importance of taking ownership for their actions. Tina Smith, a well-known family counselor, suggests that "showing how children's actions help pets should be celebrated when done right." Another parent, John Wiggin, agrees: "Consequences for not following through with duties should not be a punishment but instead be a teaching moment to help children understand the importance of their responsibility." Their tasks play a huge part in keeping their pet healthy and happy. Some argue that owning a dog is too much work for a child, but the hard work involved is worth the time and effort in the long run. It builds self-confidence and self-esteem that last into their adulthood. 2 Select the correct answer. The author most likely wrote this article A. to teach the reader about the proper ways to teach children responsibility. B. to persuade the reader that parents should adopt a pet into their family. C. to inform the reader that caring for a pet is more difficult than people think. D. to entertain the reader with stories about how parents deal with their children.
