Have you ever been in a situation where you had an opinion on something that was different from the opinion of most of those around you? If so, describe the situation. Why do you think that most people in our society prefer to conform and "go along" with the majority?

Answer:

Most go with the majority of the answers

Read the two passages from "Everest Then and Now."


Passage 1


The earliest known survey of the mountain was in 1715. The Qing Empire in China studied the mountain while mapping its territory. In 1802, the British were conducting a survey of the highest mountains in the world. They wanted to measure Everest, but the government of Nepal did not allow them to enter the country. They suspected that the British might try to claim the mountain as their own. Five decades later, in 1852, an Indian mathematician and surveyor named Radhanath Sikdar identified Everest as the world's highest peak. The name Mount Everest was officially adopted as the English name for the mountain in 1865. It was named after Sir George Everest, an early British surveyor who was the head of the survey. What's interesting is that Everest objected to the mountain being named after him. He argued that his name was too difficult to pronounce in the local language, Hindi.


Passage 2


The increase in popularity means that more people are climbing Everest than ever. It's true that the economy of Nepal benefits from the hundreds of climbers each year. The government requires climbers to purchase a climbing permit. Climbers who hire Nepalese guides are also helping the local economy. However, more climbers on the mountain cause a number of problems. Large numbers of climbers on the mountain at once can be unsafe, especially when teams get close to the top of the mountain. This was not a concern in the early days of Everest explorers. Now, hiking companies encourage climbing teams to take turns when they get close to the peak. Climbers put in too much effort to get caught in a traffic jam near the summit.


How is the structure of Passage 1 different from the structure of Passage 2?

1 Passage 1 uses a chronological structure, while Passage 2 uses a compare and contrast structure.

2 Passage 1 uses a chronological structure, while Passage 2 uses a problem and solution structure.

3 Passage 1 uses a compare and contrast structure, while Passage 2 uses a cause and effect structure.

4 Passage 1 uses a compare and contrast structure, while Passage 2 uses a chronological structure.

Which of the following describes one of the main obstacles Schwermer's lifestyle presents?

Part of that philosophy requires her to put a lot of faith in the unknown. Other than the small notebook she uses to keep track of her scheduled speaking engagements and housing arrangements, most of her plans are left to fate. “I see a lot of miracles in my daily life. For example, in the beginning I found food. I thought about things and then I found them in the street or people came to bring them to me,” she explains. “I think these miracles happen because of our thoughts.” When seasons change, she gives away whatever clothing she has and waits for new items to come along. Most are given by hosts and friends she meets along the way. The road wasn’t always easy. With two adult children and three grandchildren, Schwermer admits her family wasn’t exactly on board when she pitched the idea. She now sees them only a few times per year, but says they eventually warmed up to her come-and-go lifestyle. “Now they’re proud of what I’m doing. It’s enough for us,” she says. Although she never had plans to go public with her life, after a German book publisher pushed her to put pen to paper, Schwermer relented. The latest of three books on her journey, “Seeing Miracles In Life Without Money,” will be released this summer in Germany. As with its predecessors, all her royalties4 will go to the various charitable groups she supports. “Now, more and more young people want to change something in their lives and often they don’t know what they can change,” she says. “I changed something in my life.” Despite the legion of fans that have followed her for years, Schwermer has met her fair share of critics. After a trainwreck appearance on Italian talk show RAI TV, she stopped doing television interviews (in one taping, a host actually rifled through her suitcase).More often than not, however, it’s her friends who become frustrated with her come-and-go lifestyle. She’s turned down many invitations to extend her visits, including offers to stay permanently. “There are so many people who are lonely and they like to have friends at their side,” she says. “But I say no because I can’t. I feel that I must go. It’s always my job to be in the world with people.”

How Lift-Offs Lift Our Spirits, by Miranda Sharon

America’s space program does not get the attention it once did. It certainly doesn’t generate the same excitement. From the 1950s through the 1970s, astronauts were national heroes. Children dreamed of traveling through space. Adults looked to the moon with the sense of national pride. Those days could–and should–return again.
If average Americans search their brain, it is not hard to find arguments against space travel. It costs money. It’s dangerous. We have enough problems on our own planet. If the same Americans search their hearts, however, the results are different. Deep within us, we all have similar desires. Space exploration fulfills all these desires.
Let’s begin with curiosity. We all have it. From the time we are small children we long to know what is in the next room, down the street, or in the next town. We are nomads, wanting to explore. We are detectives, trying to solve a mystery. We are students of life, seeking answers. The space program gives us a chance to be all those things and more. Even if we don’t travel ourselves, the excitement of new discoveries would again feed our thirst for something new.
Another benefit of returning to space is the inspiration it provides. In the early days of space travel, America had a goal. We wanted to reach space safely and quickly. The country responded spectacularly. Teamwork and creativity reached all-time highs. Students delved deeper into science and math hoping to contribute. Heroes stepped up to bravely accept challenges. We were attempting the impossible and determined to succeed. Think of the amazing things Americans would accomplish if that inspiration returned.
Perhaps the largest thing lost with a shrinking space program is perspective. Exploring space reminds us how small and fragile our planet truly is. It encourages collaboration with other countries which helps cultural differences disappear. It can reveal the effects of abusing natural resources. Looking at our Earth from a great distance gives us a unique view of our world and the effect we have upon it.
Plans for America’s space program should clearly be revisited. Exploration of our solar system should continue not for science or power or money, but for the benefit of mankind. It gives us an outlet for our curiosity. It provides inspiration for our souls. It offers a perspective to help understand our place in the universe. The benefits are as vast as space itself.


The Sky Has No Limits, by Roger T. Reynolds
The state of NASA’s space program has been the subject of much speculation in recent years. Debates have raged among members of Congress, business owners, and the general public. the president has expressed his thoughts on numerous occasions as well. The conversations seem to boil down to one question: Do the benefits of space travel outweigh the cost? A logical look at the question makes the answer quite apparent. NASA’s space program is worth preserving at any cost.
Put simply, NASA creates jobs. Jobs, in return, help the economy. A single space project can employ hundreds of workers from high level, top security jobs to lower level, yet important role players. Scientists are assigned to solve problems. Engineers are contracted to build prototypes. Truckers are hired to transport materials. Large corporations are paid for contributions, earning profits so they may hire more employees.
The work of NASA also pays huge dividends for the environment. Studying Earth from space provides keen insight into many areas. Scientists monitor the ozone layer. They track the effects of global warming. They study patterns of dangerous storms. They test the possibility of space colonies. All of these activities offer hope to our increasingly overcrowded planet.
The work of NASA often leads to advances in technology. Solving the mysteries of space creates solutions that help elsewhere. The Jaws of Life save victims in car accidents. The technology came from NASA research. The artificial heart did, as well. The list goes on. Architects, athletes, and autoworkers have benefited from space-related discoveries. NASA has enhanced everything from shoes to food. You likely come into contact with something improved by NASA nearly every day.
It is impossible to list all the benefits of a thriving space program. It is equally impossible to predict how many new benefits are within our grasp. To find them, we must keep reaching for the stars.

Cook an omelet in just a few easy steps. Begin to prepare the omelet mixture by blending two eggs and a 1/4 cup of milk until smooth. Next, set the temperature of a stovetop burner to medium-high and melt enough butter in a skillet to evenly coat the bottom and sides of the cooking surface. When the butter has just begun to brown, pour in the egg mixture. Allow the mixture to cook until it begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. Gently slide a spatula underneath the omelet at various points to free it from the pan. When the middle of the omelet is no longer runny, turn off the heat and allow the omelet to further solidify. Add your favorite ingredients--fresh tomatoes, cheese, and basil are recommended--and fold the omelet in half. If you know what you're doing, the whole process gives you a tasty breakfast in less than fifteen minutes.

Write a compare-and-contrast analysis of how Greg Ridley from "The Treasure of Lemon Brown" changes from the beginning of the story to the end.


If you put
1) At the beginning of the story, Greg Ridley is in a bad mood, and is dreading receiving a lecture from his father, as he knows what the result will be.


2) At the end of the story, Greg is anticipating a lecture from his dad once again, but this time, he smiles at the thought of it.


3) This change occurs because Lemon Brown tells Greg about how he lost his own son and that the lessons and things a father gives a son should be treasured. Greg realizes this is true, and it shows in his character shift at the end of the story.


THER GONNA TAKE IT AS P L A G A R I S M!!

Every day for four years, I would drive to my job, and every day at the same time, on the same route, I would notice the city bus. It would pull up next to me, and I would see all the people on board. Some would be reading. Some would be sleeping. Some would stare back at me. Every day, at the same time, it would follow me right to work. As I pulled into my parking space at work, I would see it around the corner, about a block away from my job. Then, one day, my car broke down. I had no way to get to work, and then, I remembered the bus. I decided to take it since I knew it was on the same schedule as I was. Since then, I have never driven to work again. Taking the bus is a useful method with which to travel because you can save a lot of money by using public transportation.
One reason public transportation is useful is because it saves money. My commute to work was long, and it required a lot of gas. When I drove to work, I was spending $30 a week on gas. There are 52 weeks in a year. That translates to $1,560.00 a year I was spending on gas to get to work. When I started taking the bus, it cost $2 ($1 to get to work and another $1 to get home). Another way to save money is to use the toll road. That translates to $10 a week. That means that it cost me $520 a year to get to work. That's less than a third of what it cost to drive. It saved me $1,040.00. The funny part is that the reason my car broke down in the first place was because I was driving it constantly.

Which statement best supports the main idea of the passage?
A.
The bus costs $10 a week, while driving a car costs $30 a week.
B.
Cars break down when they are not driven all the time.
C.
Toll roads are convenient, fun ways to drive to work and miss traffic.
D.
Driving the toll road to work costs much less than driving in traffic.

Select the prepositional phrase.

Which evidence is most relevant to Nixon's claim that his spending plans are superior to Kennedy's?
