The Snowy Day

Jack's walk turned into a skip as he realized the snowfall was increasing with every passing minute. He tightened the jacket around his neck and silently thought Why did I not listen to Mom? with anger. Earlier that day, his mom had told him to carry his scarf, gloves, and cap, but he had refused by saying that they made his bag heavy and that he would not need them. It was a pleasant day after all! However, by the time school ended, the ground was covered with snow.
"You should have carried your gloves and cap," Jack's friend, Daisy said, as she trudged along beside him.
"I know!" Jack snapped, telling himself never to make such a mistake again.
They had almost reached Jack's house when Daisy suddenly stopped and began looking around in confusion.
"What is it, Daisy?" Jack asked as he shook uncontrollably.
"I thought I heard a noise," Daisy said, continuing to look around. A nearby dumpster suddenly shook, and the two jumped in surprise.
"What is that?" Jack asked and walked behind the dumpster. To his surprise, he found a dog crouching beneath the dumpster and whimpering in fright.
"Poor thing must be freezing in this cold," Daisy said and gently patted the dog's head. "We cannot leave him here. Jack, your house is close by so you can take him home."
Before Jack could respond, Daisy lifted the dog and put him in Jack's arms. The dog was much lighter than Jack had expected, and Jack looked down at the dog's frightened face. He sighed and wrapped his arms tightly around the dog and jogged home.
When Jack's mom opened the door, her mouth fell open when she saw a trembling Jack carrying a stray dog, but she did not say a word and quietly stepped aside to let them in. Once inside, Jack ran to the fireplace to warm himself and asked his mom for a glass of hot milk. When she brought the milk, he began gulping it down hungrily. But when he noticed the dog looking at him, he stopped and looked at his half-filled glass.
"Here you go, boy," Jack said pouring the rest of the hot milk in a saucer and giving it to the dog. With a grateful look, the dog emptied the saucer, and Jack felt thrilled to see that sharing his glass of milk gave the frightened, little dog such happiness. He ran to the kitchen to fetch some more milk for the dog and himself.

Read the excerpt from warriors don't cry. as we approached behind them, we could see only the clusters of white people that stretched for a distance of two blocks along the entire span of the school building. my mind could take in the sights and sounds only one by one: flashing cameras, voices shouting in my ears, men and women jostling each other, old people, young people, people running, uniformed police officers walking, men standing still, men and women waving their fists, and then the long line of uniformed soldiers carrying weapons just like in the war movies i had seen. which words create the mood in the excerpt? check all that apply.

Read the passage. excerpt from "why equal pay is worth fighting for" by senator elizabeth warren, april 17, 2014 i honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014. when i started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. women have made incredible strides since then. but 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work. women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation. bloomberg analyzed census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. in 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. that's not an accident; that's discrimination. the effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long lasting. today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. . for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by, and many families depend as much on mom's salary as they do on dad's, if not more. women are the main breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much harder for these families to stay afloat. women are ready to fight back against pay discrimination, but it's not easy. today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes. here in the senate, sen. barbara mikulski (d-md.) introduced the paycheck fairness act to give women the tools to combat wage discrimination. it would ensure that salary differences have something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not just because they are women. senator warren states that the effects of pay discrimination are long-lasting. is this a valid argument supported by accurate evidence? no; warren weakens her point by claiming that the paycheck fairness act would "give women the tools to combat wage discrimination." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women." no; warren weakens her point by noting, "today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes."
