New Technology Leads to Bigger Cities

In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of society following the introduction of machines. The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.

Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production. Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The abundance caused food prices to fall.

The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in northern factories as a way to support their families. Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.

As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization.

In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S. residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.

The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural areas.

PLEASE READ THIS ITS ATACTHMENT TO PART 1
Part 2
Buck : Dazed, suffering intolerable pain from throat and tongue, with the life half throttled out of him, Buck attempted to face his tormentors.

But he was thrown down and choked repeatedly, till they succeeded in filing the heavy brass collar from off his neck. Then the rope was removed, and he was flung into a cagelike crate. here he lay for the remainder of the weary night, nursing his wrath and wounded pride.

Buck: And each time the joyful bark that trembled in Buck’s throat was twisted into a savage growl.

But the saloon-keeper let him alone and he could not understand what it all meant. What did they want with him, these strange men? Why were they keeping him pent up in this narrow crate? He did not know why, but he felt oppressed by the vague sense of impending calamity and in the morning four men entered and picked up the crate.

Whereupon he lay down sullenly and allowed the crate to be lifted into a wagon. Then he, and the crate in which he was imprisoned, began a passage through many hands

. Clerks in the express office took charge of him; he was carted about in another wagon; a truck carried him, with an assortment of boxes and parcels, upon a ferry steamer; he was trucked off the steamer into a great railway depot, and finally he was deposited in an express car.

For two days and nights this express car was dragged along at the tail of shrieking locomotives; and for two days and nights Buck neither ate nor drank. In his anger he had met the first advances of the express messengers with growls, and they had retaliated by teasing him.
He flung himself against the bars, quivering and frothing. He did not mind the hunger so much, but the lack of water caused him severe suffering and fanned his wrath to fever pitch.

Buck:That had given them an unfair advantage; but now that it was off, he would show them. They would never get another rope around his neck.

His eyes turned bloodshot, and he was metamorphosed into a raging fiend.

Four men gingerly carried the crate from the wagon into a small, high-walled backyard. A stout man, with a red sweater that sagged generously at the neck, came out and signed the book for the driver.

That was the man, Buck divined, the next tormentor, and he hurled himself savagely against the bars. The man smiled grimly, and brought a hatchet and a club

.Driver: “You ain’t going to take him out now?”

At the Farmer's Market

The farmer's market was loud, the sounds of people preparing for the day of sales echoing in the long building, as Tony and his family began unloading their products they would sell from their truck. Their booth was at the very front of the long building, at the entrance where the customers would enter. This was good for business, but Tony knew he would not get a break today. His favorite part of the farmer's market was taking time to walk up and down the rows of booths, looking at the different products people had for sale. He was already feeling frustrated with the long day ahead.
"Maria and Tony, please unload the honey and bring it to the display table," Rick, Tony's father, instructed. "And please hurry up. The market opens in 15 minutes, and we aren't ready yet."
Tony rolled his eyes at his father's comments, and Maria sighed heavily as she handed Tony a heavy box of the honey the family produced on their small farm. "Maybe if we weren't always late, we wouldn't have to rush," Maria whispered to her brother.
"Just hurry up, please," Tony replied as he stomped off with another load of honey towards the display table. "I just want to be finished with this day."
When he reached the table to set up the display of honey jars, he set the box down too quickly. The box was only partially on the table, and when he let go to open it, the box tipped and slid off the table, crashing to the ground. All the jars of honey inside were smashed to pieces. Tony's head snapped up quickly, his eyes wide with shock, and he looked at Maria, who looked back with the same expression.
The next sound they heard was their father's voice, "Tony!"

"O my Hiawatha!
Is there anything can harm you?
Anything you are afraid of?"
But the wary Hiawatha
Paused awhile, as if uncertain,
Held his peace, as if resolving,
And then answered, "There is nothing,
Nothing but the bulrush yonder,
Nothing but the great Apukwa!"
And as Mudjekeewis, rising,
Stretched his hand to pluck the bulrush,
Hiawatha cried in terror,
Cried in well-dissembled terror,
"Kago! kago! do not touch it!"
"Ah, kaween!" said Mudjekeewis,
"No indeed, I will not touch it!"

Which inference is most clearly justified by these lines?
A. Hiawatha is afraid of the bulrush.
B. Hiawatha is trying to trick Mudjekeewis.
C. Bulrushes were thought to be poisonous.
D. Mudjekeewis is planning to attack Hiawatha.

Read this excerpt from NASA's explanation of black holes. When you encounter a word you don't know, look for context clues that might help you define the word.

Scientists can't directly observe black holes with telescopes that detect X-rays, light, or other forms of electromagnetic radiation. We can, however, infer the presence of black holes and study them by detecting their effect on other matter nearby. If a black hole passes through a cloud of interstellar matter, for example, it will draw matter inward in a process known as accretion. A similar process can occur if a normal star passes close to a black hole. In this case, the black hole can tear the star apart as it pulls it toward itself. As the attracted matter accelerates and heats up, it emits X-rays that radiate into space. Recent discoveries offer some tantalizing evidence that black holes have a dramatic influence on the neighborhoods around them--emitting powerful gamma ray bursts, devouring nearby stars, and spurring the growth of new stars in some areas while stalling it in others.

Considering all of the context clues around the word telescopes, what can you assume that telescopes are able to do?

A)see black holes clearly

B)detect X-rays, light, and electromagnetic radiation

C)predict when a new black hole has formed

D)see gamma ray bursts

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.


As he thought about the hieroglyphs in Thothmes' and Ramesses' names, Champollion realized their significance. It went far beyond the names themselves and gave him an insight into the entire system of hieroglyphic writing. For the names revealed that hieroglyphs were not simply representations of sounds. Nor did they have an exclusively symbolic meaning, as Thomas Young and other scholars had long believed. Instead, they were a combination of the two.


What type of reasoning is shown in the excerpt?


A:moving from the big picture of hieroglyphics being both representations of sounds and symbols to the details of Thothmes's and Ramesses's names

B:moving from the big picture of Thothmes's and Ramesses's names to the details of the hieroglyphic translations

C:moving from the details of the individual hieroglyphics to the big picture of hieroglyphics being both representations of sounds and symbols

D:moving from the details of hieroglyphic writing to the big picture of Thomas Young and other scholars
