Read Zion National Park:


In 1917, Horace Albright visited the canyon created by the Virgin River in southwestern Utah. He was amazed at the beauty of the colorful cliffs. Albright determined that this national monument would become a popular tourist destination. The official name of the monument at that time was Mukuntuweap National Monument. It had been named in honor of the Paiutes who lived in the region. Albright thought that the name was difficult to pronounce and proposed a name change. President Woodrow Wilson renamed the monument Zion National Monument, which became Zion National Park in 1919. The number of people visiting the park increased from approximately 300 in 1914 to 1,814 people in 1919.


Zion National Park is known for its many hiking trails. The shortest trail leads to one of the popular destinations: Weeping Rock, a cliff face with a hanging garden. Over the years, water made its way through the Navajo sandstone of the cliff, traveling through pores and creating canyons. Eventually, the water encountered a layer of rock that was impermeable. The water was unable to continue down, so it traveled horizontally. At Weeping Rock, the water comes through the pores of the sandstone. The amount of water that flows out of the rock can be a trickle or a stream, giving the impression that the rock is crying. Vegetation grows in shaded areas of the cliff with water coming through the rock. As the plants grow out of the rock face, they give the illusion that they are hanging in the air.


In the last century, word spread of Zion National Park's many natural treasures, like the Weeping Rock. Roads, trails, and visitor centers were built. More people traveled to Zion in order to hike, horseback ride, and go canyoneering. The Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel was constructed by 1930. Visitors still use the tunnel to travel from Zion to the Grand Canyon or Bryce Canyon. Now, park rangers are facing problems created by having too many visitors. Trails and campgrounds are overused and need repairs. Visitors are straying off the trails to create their own, thereby damaging the vegetation. Rangers are considering the best ways to protect this national park and maintain its beauty for future generations.


Based on the passage, how did the existence of Navajo sandstone lead to the hanging gardens?

1. The existence of Navajo sandstone allowed water to flow through its pores, until it reached a different type of stone, moved horizontally, and came out the side of the cliff. This water was necessary for the plants to survive, leading to the hanging gardens.

2. The existence of Navajo sandstone led to a dry, hot climate, in which plants could not grow, except those used in hanging gardens. This dry, hot climate made it difficult for many species of plants to grow, resulting in locals planting the hanging gardens.

3. The existence of Navajo sandstone led to the creation of many holes with soil, which hanging gardens use to grow up toward the sun. These holes with soil were used by locals to plant lush hanging gardens that visitors could help maintain when they visited.

4. The existence of Navajo sandstone showed that Native Americans used to dwell in the area by building their houses in the cliffs. In order to decorate their homes, the Native Americans planted many different types of plants in the walls near the water.

I NEED HELP ASAP!!! The Transcontinental Railroad was perhaps the most monumental technological achievement of the Industrial Revolution. Beginning in 1863, two companies worked more than six years to lay 2000 miles of track between San Francisco, California, and Council Bluffs, a town in Iowa on the Missouri River. On May 10, 1869, in Promontory, Utah, after great fanfare, a railroad worker heaved a large sledgehammer and drove the final spike of the railroad. The strike literally was heard all around the country, as operators of the railroad companies had wired the spike into the transcontinental telegraph line.

Read the following excerpt from Pointed Roofs by Dorothy Richardson. Then, respond to the question that follows.

Walking along a narrow muddy causeway by a little river overhung with willows, girls ahead of her in single file and girls in single file behind, Miriam drearily recognised that it was June. The month of roses, she thought, and looked out across the flat green fields. It was not easy to walk along the slippery pathway. On one side was the little grey river, on the other long wet grass repelling and depressing. Not far ahead was the roadway which led, she supposed to the farm where they were to drink new milk. She would have to walk with someone when they came to the road, and talk. She wondered whether this early morning walk would come, now, every day. Her heart sank at the thought. It had been too hot during the last few days for any going out at midday, and she had hoped that the strolling in the garden, sitting about under the chestnut tree and in the little wooden garden room off the saal had taken the place of walks for the summer.
She had got up reluctantly, at the surprise of the very early gonging. Mademoiselle had guessed it would be a "milk-walk." Pausing in the bright light of the top landing as Mademoiselle ran downstairs she had seen through the landing window the deep peak of a distant gable casting an unfamiliar shadow—a shadow sloping the wrong way, a morning shadow. She remembered the first time, the only time, she had noticed such a shadow—getting up very early one morning while Harriett and all the household were still asleep—and how she had stopped dressing and gazed at it as it stood there cool and quiet and alone across the mellow face of a neighbouring stone porch—had suddenly been glad that she was alone and had wondered why that shadowed porch-peak was more beautiful than all the summer things she knew and felt at that moment that nothing could touch or trouble her again.
She could not find anything of that feeling in the early day outside Hanover. She was hemmed in, and the fields were so sad she could not bear to look at them. The sun had disappeared since they came out. The sky was grey and low and it seemed warmer already than it had been in the midday sun during the last few days.

In a well-written paragraph of 5–7 sentences, explain how the author uses stream of consciousness and one other narrative technique to enhance her writing. Be sure to include specific textual evidence to support the narrative techniques you discuss in your response.

2. What are some aspects of the design of Taipei 101 that the author describes in the second paragraph?

A-the importance of the basement of the building
B-its emphasis on symmetry and geometry
C-its connection to nature and to Buddhism
D-its focus on bright color schemes

( the second paragraph says.... )
Taipei 101’s design is inspired by Taiwanese culture and nature. The shape of the building looks like a bamboo stalk. Bamboo grows in many parts of Asia and symbolizes virtue in Taiwanese culture. It is a flexible, but sturdy plant that grows to high heights. This tall building is also quite resilient. Additionally, the building’s exterior resembles an elongated pagoda. This architectural style was originally built to honor the Buddha. As Buddhism spread throughout Asia during the Han Dynasty, this architectural style became more widespread. Although some of these pagodas are not Buddhist houses of worship anymore, they are still important historical structures that can be seen in many parts of Asia. Numbers also play an important symbolic role in this building. The number of floors, 101, was chosen at the end of the 20th century to celebrate the new 21st century. The building is split into eight sections of eight stories. The number eight represents abundance and good luck in Taiwanese culture. There are also large circular structures on each side of the building to symbolize ancient coins and the wealth they bring. These symbolic nods to traditional architecture are combined with innovative engineering.

What's in a Name?

Mucus is a great word, not only because it gives name to an important bodily function, but also because it is one of those words that simultaneously makes you feel grossed-out and giggly. Other words for this powerfully important human-health tool include slime and phlegm. Slang words for mucus include boogers and snot. All of these words have the same giggle-power, simply from the combination of consonants and vowels. By the way, mucus is an old word; it's been around since the mid-1600s and has roots back to Latin (mucere, to be moldy or musty) and Greek (myxa, mucus). While you may assume that words like snot and boogers are relatively new slang terms, they are not. Snot dates to 1560 and comes from an Old English word, gesnot, and has the same root as the word snout. The word booger is not quite as old but has been in use since the 1890s.

Which of the following correctly summarizes the main point of the "What's in a Name?" section?

a. Mucus has a good name and interesting synonyms.
b. Mucus should make more people laugh.
c. Words for mucus have ancient roots.
d. The word mucus is ideal for what it describes.
