Passage 1
The Two Friends
Once upon a time, in a jungle, there lived two very unusual friends—a tiger and a lion. They had been together since they were cubs and did not think it strange that they were friends. In that same jungle, there also lived an old monk. Many animals would come to the monk for guidance and all of them would go back satisfied with his wise advice.
One evening, the lion and tiger were strolling through the forest when the tiger saw the moon in the sky. The previous night had been a full moon night. The tiger noticed that the moon had decreased in size from the previous night. He turned to the lion and said, "Looks like we're in for some cold weather, the moon is smaller tonight." The lion looked up at the waning moon and replied, "Who told you that a waning moon indicates cold weather? A waxing moon indicates that we are in for cold days ahead." The tiger laughed at the lion and told him that he had gotten his facts wrong. The lion retorted that the tiger was ignorant. He told the tiger that he should check his facts before getting into an argument. Thus, the tiger and the lion continued to argue, both of them sure that the other was wrong.
The argument between the tiger and the lion would have continued, but then they decided to consult the monk. When the monk heard what they were arguing about, he laughed at their folly. He told them that cold weather did not depend on the waxing or waning of the moon but on the direction from which the wind was blowing. On hearing this, the tiger and the lion were satisfied that they both were wrong.
Passage 2
The Party
It was Ryan's fiftieth birthday the coming month and Ryan's wife, Paula, was helping him plan a grand birthday party. Paula had invited Ryan's parents, brother, two sisters, school friends, and colleagues. She had even managed to track down some of Ryan's old childhood friends. She decided to have a theme-based party. Ryan loved doing crosswords and Paula decided that nothing could be better than having a crossword-themed birthday party.
She spoke to Ryan's friends and they all loved the idea. The highlight of the party would be the cake. Paula got in touch with a famous cake artist and requested the artist and his team to make a crossword-themed cake. Paula and Ryan's friends came up with a crossword made up of clues about Ryan's favorite authors and singers, movies, and memorable events in his life including Ryan and Paula's first date, their first holiday together, their kids' graduations, and other little details about Ryan's life. Finally, the much-awaited day arrived and Paula was excited to see how Ryan would react on seeing the cake.
When Ryan saw the cake, he was speechless. He was extremely touched that Paula had taken so much time to think of something so unique and special for him. Paula asked him to solve the crossword imprinted on his cake before cutting it. As he read the clues and thought of the answers, Ryan couldn't help but feel nostalgic as all the fond memories and experiences associated with the clues came back to him. Everyone had a great time and the day created many new memories for Paula and Ryan.

Who else wants to be a kid?
I wish we got to take naps like back in preschool and pre-k!!!!!!!!!! And i wish we had a short day like them. Lets face it, little kids are livin the dreams
Answer:With distance learning I nap when ever I want
Explanation:
I also wish I were a kid. They don't have as many responsibilities, and they're free to do nearly whatever they want. High school brings along a lot of stress and a heavy workload; it's really frustrating. As a kid, you don't have to worry about that. As you mentioned, as a kid, you got to take naps, and you had a lot of time to play. In high school, you don't have naptime--unless you fall asleep during class. Kids are free to spend the majority of their time having fun without the restrictions of schoolwork and whatever negative stuff life brings you. When we were younger, we couldn't wait to grow up, but now that we're older, we wish we were younger again.

Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman. Now the examinations began. First the immigrants were examined by two doctors of the United States Health Service. One doctor looked for physical and mental abnormalities. When a case aroused suspicion, the immigrant received a chalk mark on the right shoulder for further inspection: L for lameness, H for heart, X for mental defects, and so on. The second doctor watched for contagious and infectious diseases. He looked especially for infections of the scalp and at the eyelids for symptoms of trachoma, a blinding disease. Since trachoma caused more than half of all medical detentions, this doctor was greatly feared. He stood directly in the immigrant's path. With a swift movement, he would grab the immigrant's eyelid, pull it up, and peer beneath it. If all was well, the immigrant was passed on. Which detail best supports the idea that only immigrants with good health were allowed entrance into the United States? One doctor drew chalk marks on immigrants with health problems. The two doctors worked for the United States Health Service. An H mark on an immigrant meant he or she had heart problems. Trachoma is a blinding and very contagious eye disease.
