Read the paragraph from "Myths About the Founding Fathers."

Thomas Jefferson was NOT, however, the first person to introduce ice cream to the United States. Ice cream had been around for hundreds of years before Jefferson. A kind of ice cream was “invented” in China by mixing milk and rice into snow. Roman emperors used to serve flavored snow. King Charles I kept his ice cream recipe a secret from the rest of England. There’s no evidence to prove that Americans had to wait for Jefferson to come up with the idea before they could indulge in the popular treat. What was the truth? Jefferson liked to serve ice cream at his dinner parties. The rumor took off from there.

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

(pg. 13)

"In addition to acknowledging their effort, participation trophies or certificates, remind them that they were part of a team. It will be very hard to go far in the "real world" without understanding teamwork. Participation awards begin to instill the idea in a child's mind that working with a unit can lead to success. Does success always mean coming in first? No. Success can mean working collaboratively and becoming a team."
