Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps isn’t content with just winning medals. He is working to raise awareness about the importance of mental health.

Do you agree with the following statement. Why or why not?

“Helping people is more important than achieving Olympic glory.”

Answer:

Yes, of course I agree with this statement.

Explanation:

Material things, like Olympic medals, are nice to have, but if you take a look around and see people suffering in poverty, or because they don't have the means to treat their illnesses/mental disorders, you won't feel as happy about your own possessions. This is why every person, regardless of whether they are famous or not, should try their best to help other people out as much as they can. In Michael Phelps's example, he is an amazing swimmer, but he also understands that he cannot be fully happy with his Olympic glory if he doesn't spread awareness about something that's very dear to his heart, which is the importance of mental health (if you recall, Phelps has a history with depression).

Who is the target audience for the passage?

A lot of people consider gardening to be a relaxing exercise. If you’re new to gardening, you may want to hold off on that visit to the gardening supply store. Most of the items you need for your garden are available in your kitchen. Instead of buying chemical fertilizer or soil boosters, mix some crushed eggshells with the soil. They are rich in calcium and boost the mineral content of your soil. You can even mix the soil with some Epsom salt to add sulfate and magnesium to your garden soil. You can recycle some of your kitchen waste as fertilizers too. Banana peels, vegetable stock, coffee grounds, remains of fish, and other meat can be mixed to make compost for the soil.

Egyptian Society and Economy
Like most ancient civilizations, Egypt had a hierarchical social structure. At the top of society was the pharaoh, who was not only the monarch, but also considered to be a living god. Next were government officials and priests, and then there was a large middle class composed of merchants, soldiers, farmers, and artisans. Most Egyptians belonged to this class, and farming was the most usual occupation. At the bottom of the social ladder were slaves and servants.
Because of its location near the Mediterranean & Red Seas, it was easy for Egyptians to trade with other civilizations nearby, such as Nubia, Palestine, and Greece. Exports included grain, linen, and papyrus; imports included lumber, gold, and incense. The female pharaoh Hatshepsut is especially well-known for promoting trade.

Dogs Make Life Great

Let's face it, they don't call dogs "man's best friend" for nothing. They are sweet, they love us, and they do work for us. There is simply nothing better than a dog. If humans have learned to survive against saber-toothed predators, stampeding herds, and enduring famine, dogs have been right there. As Robin to our Batman, as Scooby Doo to our Shaggy, dogs have been there through thick and thin in our darkest hours. After all we've been through together, how could anyone disagree that dogs are the best pet any human could have?

First, we get massive health benefits from dogs. They calm us down when we are stressed. Countless service dogs are trained every year to go into nursing homes and other facilities to provide comfort to patients. These therapy dogs have been shown to lower blood pressure and calm distressed patients. Dogs also bring sweet, sweet bacteria into our homes. These bacteria help build our immune systems and make us healthier. Studies have shown that people with dogs get sick less often. In addition, growing up with a dog in your home may make you less prone to dog-related allergies as you grow up. Finally, because dogs need regular exercise, dog owners tend to be more fit than those who do not own dogs or own only cats.

Second, dogs just make us happier. New studies have found a lower rate of depression in dog owners. In part because dogs force their owners to be more active, it is likely that dog-owners just cannot stay cooped up at home all the time. This activity level also makes it easier to meet people, stay socially engaged, and feel a sense of belonging. They are dependable friends as well, always ready with a sympathetic ear, a soft belly to rub, and a willing smile. If your day seems like a version of the zombie apocalypse, ten minutes of playing fetch will certainly keep those zombies at bay until you can get back in the game.

Finally, it's all about cute. Sure other pets can be cute, but consider tail wagging. What other animal has such a universally understood expression of joy? How can you not give into that sweet face, holding a stick, waiting patiently to be taken out to play? And if you have any doubts, you must not have seen a dog rolling on its back, tongue lolling about, head swishing back and forth, scooting first one way and then the next as if competing in a silly worm dance.

Many cat owners may argue with this position, but dogs really are the best companions. They bring joy, like a bluebird brings spring, or a rainbow brings a promise. They teach us about patience. They teach us about faith, waiting patiently—no matter how many times we leave without them—for that one time they get to load into the car and go with us. Always ready to go, always ready to wait longer, they make us hurry home at the end of the day for just a little unconditional love.

What is the main idea of the paragraph in bold? (1 point)

Dogs are constant companions.
Dogs are the best pet for humans.
Dogs help humans survive.
Dogs protect humans from predators.

Read the excerpt from the text.

The day of the audition, Lily woke up early and walked downstairs to join her mother and Kip in the kitchen. She sat down to a healthy breakfast and Kip asked her, "So, are you nervous for today?"
"Not really, Kip," she said. "It is really no big deal because I have auditioned a million other times," she said, swallowing the truth that she was, in fact, terrified.

How does the author's inclusion of this excerpt contribute to the text?

A) It shows that Kip is unkind, as he is trying to make Lily more nervous than she already is.

B) It shows that Lily is too proud to admit to her brother that she is afraid.


C) It shows that Kip is intelligent.


D) It shows that Lily is dishonest at heart.
