People were always telling Jimmy to settle down and keep quiet, especially his teachers. Jimmy emerged as the chief disruptive force in his classes. As soon as he came into view, teachers knew that chaos would follow. If someone made a mistake, Jimmy was the first to notice and point it out. If someone got an answer right, Jimmy would make fun of the student for trying too hard. The joking and insults were a constant interruption and came at frequent intervals.

Trips to the principal’s office and detentions didn’t curb his outbursts. Jimmy’s father even tried to get him to back off by threatening to send him to a military academy. For a while, it seemed, nothing could make Jimmy retreat from his bad behavior. What no one knew was that Jimmy thought he was practicing for a future career as a stand-up comedian.

You’ve seen that the first lines of the poem illustrate that the beginning of the life cycle is precious. It doesn’t last long, so it’s rare. The last four lines of the poem all describe ways in which things pass from the ideal state of their beginning—where they are precious, rare, valuable, and short lived—to a more mature state that is less precious. Describe how each of these lines conveys the message of something precious becoming less precious.

READ THE PASSAGE THEN ANSWER THE QUESTIONS

Last year, Ms. Perry, who taught fifth grade in Minneapolis, had read about the need for volunteers at a rural school in Africa. She applied and was accepted. Now it was summer break, and she was in Uganda. She was staying with Mr. Omara, a teacher at the school, and his family. When Mr. Omara showed her the school, she could not believe how many students were packed into the classroom. Students were seated on benches behind long tables and on the floor. She guessed there were ninety to a hundred students in one classroom! Ms. Perry worked with a small group of students as they practiced writing and speaking English. From her conversations with them, she learned about their lives. Ritah, Joseph, and Winnie got up at 5 a.m. and walked half a mile each way to collect water from the well before they walked to school. At night, they did their homework by candlelight. During her month in Africa, Ms. Perry learned that not only did schools need pens and paper, but books. Five students in a class shared one textbook. Mr. Omara explained that textbooks had to match the curriculum and be bought in Uganda. However, many storybooks in English were needed for reading practice. When Ms. Perry returned to Minneapolis, her class of 25 students looked small. She told them about the school she had visited. After she finished, Jackson said, “The students need supplies and books, so we should collect these and send them to the school.”That’s a great idea for a project,” Victoria said. “How can we get started? Ms. Perry said, “Remember, we will need money for shipping expenses. If everyone lists their ideas for the project, we will talk about your ideas on Friday.” On Friday, everyone was eager to share ideas. Eva had found a Web site that listed books needed in Uganda. Ms. Perry suggested they focus on fiction, or storybooks about made-up people and events. It would help students practice their skills in reading English. Logan pointed out that drop-off boxes for books could be placed in the front hall of the school and in the cafeteria. Everyone would see them there during lunchtime. Molly suggested publicity, saying they could make posters to get their information to the public. Ian’s idea was to collect books from families and neighbors and sell them in the shopping mall one weekend to make money. Molly drew a poster decorated with colorful books. It said, “Bring your books to Parkside School for our book drive. From November 1 through November 15, we are collecting books to send to a school in Uganda. We need picture books and especially the books listed below.” She printed the titles of the recommended books.
At the bottom, it said, “We are selling used books for adult readers to pay for our shipping charges. Stop by Vernon Mall on November 13 or 14. You may see a book you want to buy, or you can donate a book for us to sell.”
Ms. Perry’s students agreed that this was going to be a fun project!

BRAINLIEST IF RIGHT The U.S. Oil Embargo. In 1931, Japan invaded a country called Manchuria. Six years later, it invaded mainland China. Japan was an ally of Germany and Italy, both under the control of Adolf Hitler. Most countries were worried about this alliance because these nations were attacking their neighbors. The United States was among the nations who shared a concern about these aggressive countries called "the Axis."

Soon after Japan invaded China, World War II started. Japan attacked lands belonging to other countries; many of them were allied with the United States. Though the United States was not at war yet with Japan, President Roosevelt took action because of these attacks. The United States refused to sell Japan steel and oil. This is a situation called an "embargo." Steel is used in the manufacture of weapons of war, and oil is used as fuel for war machines. The United States claimed that it was refusing to sell these resources to Japan because it did not want to help Japan wage war.

Japan decided to attack the U.S. soon after the embargo began. Japan wanted to force the U.S. to surrender quickly. The attack on Pearl Harbor brought the U.S. into World War II, and the Axis countries were defeated four years later.

First, moles do wreak havoc in the soil. Moles eat earthworms and small invertebrate creatures in the soil. The tunnels moles create are basically worm traps. The mole senses when a worm falls into a tunnel and can quickly capture and eat its victim. To dig these tunnels, however, moles have to dig away the roots of grass and plants. This often kills the plant. If you make your living from the plants the moles destroy, you may not be happy to find them in your soil. Furthermore, the earthworms moles eat are extremely beneficial to the soils. They loosen the soil and add nutrients that benefit crops. Having a large infestation of moles may make your fields less productive and less healthy.

Read the excerpt from the story Be the Best you Can Be:

Just then, there was another loud shout from across the field. This time, however, it was a shout of agony. I looked up and saw Danny. He was lying on the concrete ground in front of the change rooms, clutching his scraped knee. Without thinking twice, I ran to Danny's side to help.

"Are you okay?" I asked, bending down to comfort him. "Here, use my jersey to help clean your knee."

Danny looked up at me in surprise. He wasn't used to people being kind to him. Danny took the shirt as our coach arrived to help. The coach lifted Danny off the ground, steadied him on his feet, and helped him hobble into the change rooms. As I followed the others into the building, I realized that Danny hadn't even said thank you.
