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.

How does the author use specific details to explain what umami is? Use information from the text to support your answer.
Umami, the Fifth Taste



A potato chip’s sharp saltiness. A chocolate bar’s sweetness. The puckery sourness of a lemon. The bitterness of broccoli. Until recently, scientists agreed that these four were the only tastes our tongues detected, and that combinations of salty, sweet, sour, and bitter produced the complex flavors we enjoy in food.

But first, what is taste? We taste with our tongues, although our noses contribute to what the senses experience when we eat. We have trouble tasting when we have a cold. That’s because our noses are responsible for creating what we recognize as flavor. Taste expert Professor Tom Finger defines flavor as “a combination of taste and smell.” Professor Finger offers a simple experiment that illustrates the difference between taste and flavor: Chew a jellybean while holding your nose closed. Can you recognize the flavor? But open your nose and keep chewing. You should know exactly what you’re eating: cherry, strawberry, or watermelon.


Taste happens on our tongues. If you look at your tongue in a mirror, you’ll see that it is covered with tiny bumps called papillae. Inside the papillae are cells too small to see; these are called taste buds. After you eat a potato chip, and the saliva in your mouth has begun to break it down, the chip moves over some of your tongue’s thousands of papillae and reaches the taste buds. Chemical receptors1 in the buds that respond to salt then send a “salty” signal to your brain. Some people, called “supertasters,” have more papillae than others. Supertasters react strongly to the tastes in foods, especially those that are bitter.

The sides of our tongues are more sensitive than the middle, and the back is especially sensitive to bitterness. Scientists believe that this extra sensitivity helped to prevent early humans from swallowing poisonous or rotten foods.

Over a hundred years ago, a chemistry professor in Japan named Kikunae Ikeda believed there was a fifth taste to which our tongues reacted. This taste was not sweet, sour, bitter, or salty. It was different, rich, and distinct. Professor Ikeda enjoyed this taste in asparagus, tomatoes, cheese, meat, and especially in a savory Japanese seaweed broth called dashi. Professor Ikeda isolated the chemical that gave dashi its taste: glutamic acid. He named this

new, fifth taste “umami,” which means “delicious.”

It wasn’t until 2002 that the taste receptor for umami was located and the fifth taste was completely understood. But long before science confirmed it, people enjoyed the taste of umami-rich foods: soy sauce, mushrooms, ketchup, cooked meats (think cheeseburgers and

pepperoni pizzas), and Parmesan cheese. Scientists believe that humans came to enjoy the distinct umami taste because of our need to eat protein-rich foods.

Like its brother and sister tastes, umami is uniquely itself. Umami has a depth described as “mouthfulness.” Others have declared that umami is the taste of “yum” or “pure deliciousness.” However we explain the fifth taste, it’s hard to imagine a great meal that isn’t just a little bit umami.
