Coatis are raccoon-like mammals native to South and Central America. Many people find them cute, and tourists have made a habit of offering the coatis food. Coatis realize that it is easier to seek out tourists than to search the forest for bugs. Like humans, they prefer junk food to what they should be eating. For their part, tourists do little to discourage the animals. After all, a coati drinking soda makes for a great vacation photo. Scientists, however, say that coatis and humans do best when they stay away from each other.


Coatis and tourists _________.




A persist


B interact


C respond


D negotiate

There is 2 questions answer in complete sentences: 1. What is the central idea of: From Storytelling Book Introduction by Josepha Sherman? 2. Review the quoted words in paragraph 6. How do the words and ideas of the expert add to the author's points about storytelling? HMH.(learning tool for English.) 6th grade.

Story:
1. Once Upon a Time . . .
. . . there was a story. Story openings take many forms: “once there was,” “once there was not,” “once, in the long-ago days,” and many others. But no matter what shape the opening words take, the result is always the same—listeners are hooked.

2. Once a story has begun, there is something deep within the human psyche that must hear what will happen next. The pull of the story is universal. There is no known culture without some form of storytelling, and the craving to know “what comes next” has been felt by every human being, regardless of age, gender, culture, or century.

3. Storytelling is present in many aspects of human life. Stories are told by grandparents, parents, and other family members. Professional storytellers share their tales at fairs, festivals, schools, libraries, and other sites. Stories are integral to the mediums of television, film, opera, and theater, and storytelling sessions sometimes take place in the business world at special meetings. Campfire tales are meant to make campers shiver. And urban legends, contemporary folktales that usually are attributed to a “friend of a friend,” are told and retold. No matter how unlikely the tale may be, the teller invariably insists, “It’s true! ”

Why Tell Stories?
4. The real question may be how can one not tell stories. Every conversation is rife with information-packed stories of what the teller has been doing recently. People share stories they have heard from others, retell stories they have read, and even rehash things they have seen on television. Anyone who chooses to formalize this sharing takes on the role of the “storyteller.”

5. The most wonderful gift of a story is the bonding of a group. Held close under the spell of a story, the group breathes as one. The shared experience softens the edges between individuals and brings everyone closer in the warmth of the moment. Together, the members of the group enter a “story trance.” Storytellers benefit, in turn, as they experience the heartwarming feeling of holding the audience’s attention and nurturing the group by sharing a beloved tale.

6. Many stories also serve the community in a broader sense. All societies use stories to pass on group values. Wrapped in the sweet pill of an entertaining story, a moral goes down easily. Stories also can be useful tools that allow individuals to chastise or expose negative behaviors without overtly speaking the truth. The Liberian storyteller Won-Ldy Paye related how Anansi spider stories have been used to “say without saying” in front of a chief. If the chief has behaved greedily, the storyteller shows Anansi in this incorrect behavior. Everyone knows whom the storyteller is talking about. The chief hears, and he knows, too.

7. Many families draw “catchphrases” from their favorite stories, with which they can quickly refer to a story in the course of their daily lives. A phrase, such as “It doesn’t take long to look at a horseshoe,” can bring family members back to the original story, as well as remind them of the moral of the tale.

8. Communities and families also may wrap their history in stories to remember details of events long past. A moment in time can be preserved by creating a story and telling it a few times. The story format bundles the facts into a neatly tied packet that is more readily stored and retrieved than many separate details.

9. Stories also help to broaden awareness of other cultures. The folktale genre, in particular, reflects many traditions and helps to familiarize people with world cultures.

10. Stories also can be used for educational purposes. Stories can help to develop a child’s literary sensibilities, and listening to tales impresses a sense of story structure into a child’s mind. Stories aid in stretching vocabulary and children who can tell stories often gain the advanced verbal ability and an increased sense of self-worth.

11. Storytelling provides other growth opportunities, as stories help listeners to see through another’s eyes and to share the protagonist’s feelings of anger, fear, or love—all from a safe place. The Austrian-born American writer and child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim explained that stories are important to children because battling difficulties through a story can help them face real-life troubles. Stories provide role models who show us how to face demons and overcome adversity.

12. Perhaps best of all, stories stretch the imagination. The teller takes the listener to distant places where remarkable things happen. And once stretched, an imagination stays stretched.

Ted is analyzing the sonnet “Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802.” As you read the sonnet, notice what the author says about urban and rural settings.

Earth has not anything to show more fair:

Dull would he be of soul who could pass by

A sight so touching in its majesty:

This City now doth, like a garment, wear

The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,

Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie

Open unto the fields, and to the sky;

All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.


Never did sun more beautifully steep

In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;

Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!

The river glideth at his own sweet will:

Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;

And all that mighty heart is lying still!


How does the poem’s form contribute to its meaning?


A. The rhyme scheme emphasizes the beauty and natural elements of the city.

B. The octave creates an image of the city, while the sestet gives the speaker’s awed reaction.

C. The octave introduces the speaker’s opinions about cities, while the sestet contradicts those opinions.

D. The meter, iambic pentameter, mimics the sounds of natural elements while the lines describe an urban scene.

The meaning of etcetera in this passage means he (or she) has to get everything ready for the surprise party: get the cake, the candles, the drinks. Get the music ready for when the party starts and hide her friends around the place so they can all yell SURPRISE when she walks in.

The MVP


Lorenzo had been the star of the Broncos football team ever since the first grade. His teammates knew he was the Most Valuable Player, even when the coach gave the award to someone else. Lorenzo could play whatever position the team needed him to play. He could play quarterback, running back, or wide receiver. He could also play three positions on defense, and his tackles were fierce.
In sixth grade, LaShonda tried out for the team. She was very fast and taller than most of the boys. Lorenzo hoped the coach would cut her, but she worked very hard during tryouts, taking hits and making plays. The coach was impressed, and he gave her a spot on the team.
"I don't care what Coach says," Lorenzo told his friends Mack and Juan. "She's going to make us lose a lot of games. Girls just don't belong on this team."
In the first game of the year, Lorenzo played quarterback. He had helped the team score two touchdowns, but the Broncos were still down by three points with one minute left in the game. On the next play, Lorenzo held the ball and looked for someone to throw it to. Suddenly, a huge player on the other team broke through the pack and started coming after Lorenzo. Lorenzo ran! If he got tackled, his team would lose, but the other player was coming at him fast.
Then, from his left, Lorenzo saw LaShonda running hard toward him. She darted past Lorenzo, leaped at the player who had been chasing him, and knocked him to the ground. Lorenzo threw the ball to a receiver in the end zone. The receiver caught the ball, and the Broncos won the game.
After the game, Lorenzo found LaShonda as she was getting into her mom's car. "I think we're going to have a new Most Valuable Player this year," he told her.

Which of the following best describes Lorenzo at the beginning of the story?
A.
talented and stubborn
B.
kind and intelligent
C.
slow but strong
D.
accepting and talented

Sharks' Teeth
By Langston Carter

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.
