"For the hunter," amended Whitney . . . "Not for the jaguar."

"Don't talk rot, Whitney," said Rainsford. "You're a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?"

"Perhaps the jaguar does," observed Whitney.

"Bah! They've no understanding."

"Even so, I rather think they understand one thing—fear. The fear of pain and the fear of death."

a vivid white; but his thick eyebrows and pointed military mustache were
as black as the night from which Rainsford had come. His eyes, too, were
black and very bright. He had high cheekbones, a sharpcut nose, a spare,

excerpt from "Lead" by National Institute of Environmental Health Services



What is lead?



Lead is a naturally occurring metal found deep within the ground. It occurs in small amounts in ore, along with other elements such as silver, zinc or copper. Even though it's found in small amounts, there is an abundant supply of lead throughout the earth. Because it is widespread, easy to extract and easy to work with, lead has been used in a wide variety of products including:



Paint


Ceramics


Pipes


Solders


Gasoline


Batteries


Cosmetics


Where is lead found now?



Lead can still be found in lead-based paint used in older homes, contaminated soil, household dust, drinking water pumped through leaded pipes, lead crystal, lead-glazed pottery, airplane fuel, some toys, and some inexpensive metal jewelry. Until 1978, lead paint was commonly used on the interior and exterior of homes. Deteriorated lead paint in older housing remains the most common source of lead exposure for children in the United States.



How does lead get into the body?



Lead can get into your body in two ways — through breathing it in or by eating it. For example, lead can enter the body through eating or inhaling paint dust or chips. The soil around your home can pick up lead from sources such as exterior paint. Lead can also enter your drinking water through your plumbing.



How much lead is harmful?



No amount of lead is safe. Eliminating all lead exposure in our environment is our best course of action.



What are the effects of lead in children?



Exposure to lead can have a wide range of effects on a child’s development and behavior. Blood lead levels less than 10 micrograms per deciliter (μg/dL) are associated with increased behavioral effects, delayed puberty, and decreases in hearing, cognitive performance, and postnatal growth or height. Some of these health effects are found even at low blood lead levels less than 5 μg/dL, including lower IQ scores, decreased academic achievement, and increases in both behavioral problems and attention-related behaviors. There is a wide range of lead-associated behavioral effects in the area of attention. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one example on the more severe end of the spectrum.



What are the health effects of lead in adults?



Lead exposure has been linked to a number of health effects in adults. As a general rule, the more lead you have in your body, the more likely it is you’ll have health problems. High blood lead levels greater than 15 μg/dL are associated with cardiovascular effects, nerve disorders, decreased kidney function, and fertility problems....



Blood lead levels below10 μg/dL are associated with decreased kidney function and increases in blood pressure, hypertension, and incidence of essential tremor, a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system whose most recognizable feature is a tremor of the arms or hands during voluntary movements, such as eating and writing. There is also evidence showing that adults who have low levels of exposure to lead less than 5 μg/dL may have decreased kidney function. Pregnant women need to be particularly careful around lead. Maternal blood lead levels less than 5 μg/dL are associated with reduced fetal growth. Because the effects of lead are different for everyone, more research needs to be done to fully understand the health effects.



A 2004 study, supported by NIEHS, also showed that lifetime lead exposure may increase the risk of developing cataracts, a clouding of the eye lens resulting in partial loss of vision, which can be common in older people.



Most adults with elevated blood lead levels are exposed to lead at work. Those in occupations related to mining, ironwork or welding, construction, renovation and remodeling activities, smelters, firing ranges, the manufacture and disposal of car batteries, automobile radiator repair, metal shop work, and the manufacture of pottery or stained glass are particularly at risk for lead exposure.



Which sentence from the article best supports the idea that lead is a widespread problem?



A) "Even though it's found in small amounts, there is an abundant supply of lead throughout the earth."

I chose this (A)



B) "Eliminating all lead exposure in our environment is our best course of action."



C) "Exposure to lead can have a wide range of effects on a child's development and behavior."



D) "Most adults with elevated blood lead levels are exposed to lead at work."


I chose answer A, but I'm starting to think it might actually be D

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

With their victory, the people of Saint Domingue announced that the conflict between freedom and property was over: "All men are equal" meant that no men are property. This idea terrified the English—and not merely because their sugar island of Jamaica was just over a hundred miles across the water from Saint Domingue. Indeed, slaves in Jamaica were beginning to sing a new song while they worked:

One, two, tree,
All de same;
Black, white, brown,
All de same;
All de same.
One, two, tree,
All de same!

That chant did more than threaten a slave revolt—it was a challenge to all ranking hierarchies. Jamaica had already seen many slave revolts, and the reverend John Lindsay was certain that the talk of freedom and liberty in North America had inspired the slaves: "At our tables (where . . . every Person has his own waiting man behind him) we have I am afraid been too careless of Expressions, especially when the topic of American rebellion has been . . . brandished with strains of Virtuous Heroism.” But the slaves did not need to overhear their masters to learn about the ideas of equality. Black sailors working ships running all through the islands were carrying the word. And if this spirit of liberty got out of hand, that could be really dangerous. After all, in England itself only 3 percent of the population had the right to vote. If this expanded idea of freedom spread, how safe were the kings and dukes, earls and knights, of England? Starting in fall 1793, British troops began arriving in Saint Domingue to reenslave people and return them to their sugar plantations. As Henry Dundas, the British secretary of war, put it, their goal was to "prevent a circulation in the British Colonies of the wild and pernicious Doctrines of Liberty and Equality.”

How do the authors use historical evidence to support their claim? Select two options.

They use a secondary source to show that the British secretary of war opposed involuntary servitude.
They use a primary source to show that a song was spreading the idea of equality across the Caribbean.
They use a secondary source to show that the idea of an enslaved people’s revolt was groundbreaking.
They use a statistic to show that England had enough voters to end slavery and establish equality.
They use a primary source to show that some white people opposed the idea of freeing enslaved people.

The Expedition


A crowd of well wishers greeted Ann
Bancroft when she returned home from her
historic expedition across Antarctica. Bancroft
and Liv Arneson are the first women to traverse
the ice-covered continent.
It took the two women three months to travel
2,400 miles (3,840 km); the journey across
Antarctica began on November 14th, 2000, and
ended on February 19th, 2001. They reached
McMurdo Station, a U.S. military base, just in
time to board a ship that would take them home.
Some people call Bancroft a modern day
Amelia Earhart. In 1986, she joined the Steger
North Pole Expedition and became the first
woman to reach the North Pole over land. In
1993 she led a team of women on a 67-day
expedition to the South Pole.
Bancroft said that her journey was inspired
by the tale of Sir Ernst Shackleton, the explorer
who survived two years in Antarctica after his
ship sank. Before returning home, Bancroft and
Arneson visited the Shackleton huts.

Adam ripped up the letter and threw it on the ground. According to the letter, he had not been accepted as a team member. He stomped his foot and yelled, "Arg!"

"This woman has brought shame upon us all, and ought to die. Is there not law for it? Truly there is, both in the Scripture and the statute-book.
