Passage Fluency 1
Some inventions are made just for fun. Some of them are odd, and many of them have odd names. What do we call inventions like these? Th ey are “off -the-wall.” Th ey are just not useful, so not many of them will sell. Th ey will not have any impact, but they are not supposed to! Many “off -the-wall” inventions have become fads. A fad is a quick craze. Fads become the rage, and people like them. Fads are fun, but not for long.
Do you know someone who comes up with “off -the-wall” inventions? Meet Mr. Robinson. He has thought of lots of nutty things. One of his crazy inventions stretches pasta! Another one puts a square peg in a round hole! How useful is that? Are you impressed? No, but you are amused. Th at’s why Mr. Robinson invents this nutty stuff . He just loves tinkering, and he loves odd things. Mr. Robinson is the king of “off -the-wall” inventions!
Step back in time to 1985. In England, a man is making a small three-wheeled bike. Th is bike isn’t ridden, it’s driven! It’s called the C5, and it runs on batteries, not gas. It emits no gas fumes. Some ships have used the C5 because the small C5s can drive across the decks of big ships. A C5 helps move things on a ship. But there is a problem. If you drive the C5 in traffi c, you’ll fi nd that it’s too small and sluggish. Th e driver is too exposed. Passing cars emit gas fumes, and drivers inhale the fumes!

What makes an inventor? Inventors have quick minds. Th ey think about problems, and they come up with solutions. Many inventions impact our lives by making our lives better. Lots of us have ideas and think about things. If you have an invention, you should get a patent, which says that your invention belongs to you. It stops others from robbing your idea.
Inventors begin with a problem and think about it. Th ey think of possible solutions. Th is is how they may think about cars. For example, most cars use too much gas. Th e gas makes fumes and pollution. Th ink about these problems. What if you could make a car that pollutes less? Is it possible that a car can use less gas? Is that possible? It is, and here is one solution.
Make a car of plastic; that could solve it. Th e car wouldn’t be as heavy, so it would use less gas. It would pollute less, too. Plastic lasts and doesn’t rust, and the color doesn’t fade. Th ere would be a bonus, as well, since plastic is manmade, and it can be reused. Th ink of all the juice we drink that comes in plastic jugs. We could use the same plastic to make more cars. Is plastic the answer to making better cars? Many think so.

What do you do when you’re bored? Some of us just sit and think, while others pick up a pen. If you have a pen, you might sketch. It feels natural, so almost everybody likes to sketch. Sketching is a basic form of art where lines can turn into shapes. Some shapes are so abstract that you may not know what they are. Other shapes can remind you of familiar things, and you can turn them into objects. Your pad gets fi lled with art. When you sketch, you’re getting absorbed in art. You’re expressing yourself by making art.
Th e bell rings, and class begins. Everyone is sitting at a desk, and some begin to take notes. You begin to sketch, and your lines become art. Your name becomes art. Th e sun comes up—on your paper—and stars appear, too. But, what happens when it’s time for the test? Where are your notes? Notes will help you pass the test, but sketches won’t. It’s hard to sketch and take notes at the same time!
Meet Michael A. Cummings. He was born in Los Angeles. Now he lives in a 100-year old brownstone in Harlem. Since he was a child, he liked to draw and paint. He always knew he wanted to be an artist. Th en one day, he made a banner. He said to himself, I don’t need pens and brushes. I can sew my art. He expresses himself with a sewing machine. His canvas is fabric.
What diff erent things could you use to express yourself in art?

Fame was in store for Elisa Kleven. She made a name for herself. It began when she was a little girl. Common scraps fascinated her, so she used scraps to make art. Nutshells became beds. Caps from drinks became small baking pans. She loved to make little settings. Elisa’s settings inspired her. She began to tell little tales. Her tales led to books for children. Next, Elisa’s scraps became 3-D art in her books. Yarn made a horse’s mane, and twine made a fi rst-rate bird’s nest. Bits of colored rags made a dozen diff erent shapes. Elisa had discovered something. Common scraps can make fantastic art.
Th e fi rst form of art was cave art. Cave artists made lots of sketches inside caves. Caves protected the art. Wind didn’t hurt it, and water didn’t wash it off . Th e sun didn’t fade it. A hundred tales are told in cave art. Cave art tells the tales of the lives of cave people. Th e cave dwellers hunted and fi shed. Th ey sketched crude maps and made messages for each other. Th e art they made is still there. Th e messages they left us tell us much. From cave art, we learn history. We learn about the lives of some of the fi rst humans. We learn something even more important. We learn that humans have always been engaged with making art.

Th ey fi ll comic strips and have superhuman skills. Th ey’re strong, quick, talented, and wise. Th ey ensure that good wins over evil. Who are these superhumans? Superheroes! We all love heroes, as heroes can inspire us and give us hope.
Humans wanted to make sense of their world. Th ey wanted to understand its order and its origin. Th ey strived to understand its confl icts, so they made up tales to explain their world. Th ese tales are called myths. Myths are just made-up tales, but people have believed them. People have lived their lives as if myths were based in fact. In these tales, diff erent gods ruled over the world.
Long ago, the Romans told about the gods in their myths. Saturn was one of their gods, the god of time. Saturn had three sons: Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto. Jupiter ruled the air and was the king of the gods. He was the strongest god. Juno was Jupiter’s wife, and the goddess of husbands and wives. Neptune ruled the seas. He gave the waves white caps and made the waters still. He held the fate of ships in his hands, so a trip could be safe or unsafe. It was Neptune’s choice. His brother, Pluto, ruled over the dead. His kingdom was a dark and gloomy land. Pluto ruled over all who entered his kingdom. Once the dead entered Pluto’s underworld, they could never leave. Th ese myths are still told. Ancient myths are intriguing. Th ey give us insight into how the people who lived before us explained what happened in the world.

Not every hero is a superhero. For some, spending their lives helping others is a job. Th ink of fi refi ghters, soldiers, and police. Often, these are the unsung heroes, as they risk their lives.
No matter where you live, fi re can be a big problem. Firefi ghters save lives when a home catches fi re. A call to 911 is a call to save lives. It’s your direct line to the unsung heroes. What happens when a forest catches fi re? Fires burn huge plots of land, and they kill birds and plants. Enter the unsung heroes, as they put out the fi res.
When men and women join the military, they put their lives on the line. Th ey protect us and watch over the homelands. Sometimes, war breaks out, so they are called to protect and defend. No matter what the issue, some people support it, and others reject it. It is hard to do your job when many people do not support you. Yet our soldiers do their jobs and expect nothing in return. We should have pride in them. Th ey deserve their country’s thanks. Th ey, too, are unsung heroes.
Crime is a big problem. Some people shoplift or use drugs. Some are reckless drivers, and some harm others. Th e police are there to help and bring back order. Th ey help solve crimes and work to make our lives safer. Like soldiers and fi refi ghters, they are unsung heroes.

One person can make things happen, as Eunice Kennedy Shriver did. She began a summer day camp in 1963. She held the camp at her home and invited athletes like Steven. She watched them compete in sports and saw their desire to work hard and win. She planned games such as swimming and track. Competing was a thrill, and they loved it! Th ey were happy. Shriver saw them smile, and she made up her mind. In 1968, her camp became Special Olympics, and the games grew. More people came, and by 1970, all 50 states sent athletes. Now, Special Olympics is important in the lives of many people. Today, there are 27 offi cial sports, including summer sports and winter sports. From all over the world, athletes come to take part in the games. Th ese athletes compete at no cost. How are the games funded? Shriver has used grants, and many have donated money. Many others have made money by holding events. You can help, too, so get started and help fund Special Olympics!

Some athletes love risks, so when they do their sport, they add a twist. Extreme sports have added risks that can give athletes a thrill. Skating is an example, and extreme skaters are fi ne athletes. Th ey take some risks, and for them, it’s fun.
Extreme skaters use in-line skates, which are not like skates of the past. Th e skates are light, fast, and strong. Skaters don’t use skating rinks; they use skate parks that have ramps. Skaters even have a jargon, or their own words. Take the metal bar at the top of the ramp where they do tricks. It has a name. It’s the “coping.” Th e skaters twist, turn, and do amazing jumps. Th ey spend lots of time practicing. Th ey start with easy in-line tricks. First, there’s the “crossover,” where they just cross one skate over the other. Th en they practice harder tricks, but learning them takes time. For example, they try “bashing,” or going down steps. Sometimes, there’s no skate park, so they go somewhere else. Th ey use steps, parking lots, and even curbs. Th ey really take skating to the next level!
Extreme athletes protect themselves by using helmets and pads, but they still can be injured. Without protection, skaters can get hurt even more. Th ey can miss a landing or lose control. Extreme athletes are risk-takers, and they love to compete and take their sport to a new level. But they think of safety, too. Th ey have to. Th ey have fun, but they need to always take care. Th ey need to be safe athletes.

Solve this puzzle: Its huge base is fl at and has four corners and four sides. Th e sides slope up, but the top isn’t fl at. It has a sharp tip and was made long ago in Egypt, where about 90 of them remain. You fi gured it out. It’s a pyramid, and it’s amazing!
Pyramids were constructed for two basic uses. First, they were sacred sites where rites were performed. Second, they were designed as fi nal resting sites, the graves of kings.
Th e pyramids were constructed long ago, when there were no motors. Th ere were probably no cranes, and workers may not have even had wheels. It seems like an impossible task. Th e stones the workers moved were huge, and they made millions of stone blocks. One base block was so big, it weighed 70 tons. How did they do it? Th eir method involved steps. First, they dug the stone, and then it was put on a raft. Th e raft drifted down the Nile River. At the site, the stone was taken off , and workers chipped and shaped it. Th ey sculpted and carved a channel into the stone. Next, they drove a wooden wedge into it. Th ey drenched the wedge in water, and it expanded. Th ey added more water, so the wedge expanded more. At last, the stone split, and they cut it. Th ey used chisels and stone hammers to make it the desired shape. Up the ramps it went, and the pyramid rose. So did the ramps. Stones were dragged into place as block stacked upon block. Finally, the workers reached the top where they put on a capstone, and it was fi nished. One more amazing pyramid!

Visualize yourself living in a diff erent place and time—how about ancient Egypt? What would be diff erent about your life and what would be the same as your life now? Let’s travel back in time where we’ll meet two young people living in ancient Egypt.
First, meet Moses, a farmer’s son. In Egypt, people depend on farmers because they supply all the crops. During the growing season from November to February, Moses helps his dad plant the crops. Th ey work to plow the rich, black soil that has been brought by the Nile. Th ey work to make certain the crops will be plentiful. By June, the crops need to be harvested and stored. Moses’ dad cannot farm the land from June to September because the Nile River fl oods in these months. It fl oods their fi elds and brings new, rich soil to cover the land. When the river fl oods, they work elsewhere. Moses and his dad work on the pyramids. When the river subsides, they return home, and life on the farm begins again.
Hebeny studies hard because she wants to be a scribe. She studies at home because only boys can go to school. Her father is a scribe, and his job is highly valued in Egypt. It is one of the few jobs that requires a formal education. Th e writing is done with a code. Th e code doesn’t have letters as we know them. It uses symbols to represent ideas. Most scribes are men, but Hebeny wants to master the skill. She wants to work as a scribe like her dad.

Th e temperature is below zero, and the wind gusts at more than 200 mph! Th e wind chill hits the danger zone, and the land is frozen. Welcome to the continent of Antarctica, home of the South Pole. It is very dry and cold, yet life can still be found. Small plants live on the frozen shore, and krill thrive in the cold waters. Whales migrate to Antarctica just for krill. Other forms of life, such as seals and penguins, visit too.
In Antarctica, days are far from what we think of as normal. In the summer, there is constant day, and it is never dark. Summer begins in October and ends in March, the fall and winter months in the U.S. When the southern hemisphere tilts toward the sun, Antarctica has constant sunshine. Is it hard to go to bed when the sun is still up, so dwellings in Antarctica have thick shades to make it dark inside.
When the southern hemisphere tilts away from the sun, it is winter in Antarctica. Th en, it is dark all the time. It’s hard to get up in the dark. An alarm clock wakes you; not the rising sun. Th ere is some light in the sky that comes from gases. Swirling gases color the winter sky. To adjust to the constant darkness takes time!
People do not make the Antarctic their home, so they come for a short time. Th ey study, write, and uncover secrets from the past that unlock the future.
