At the Coal Mine
By Julie Haydon
A mine is a hole in the earth; people dig mines to
look for rocks, such as coal. Some mines have
tunnels that go deep under the ground. A miner is
a person who works in a mine. Some coal miners
work in dark tunnels, deep under the ground. A
mine is a dangerous place. Miners wear special
clothing to keep safe. Once, coal mining was done
by hand. Miners worked in the dark for many
hours. They dug the coal out with hand tools. Today, mining is done
with machines. There are important safety rules in mines.
Rule 1: Miners must be able to breathe fresh air.
Rule 2: Strong beams hold up the mine roof so that it will not fall
on the miners.
After the coal is cut, it is taken out of the mine. A moving belt
carries the coal out of the mine. Not all coal miners work under the
ground. The miners dig for coal that is close to the ground. First, the
soil is removed from the ground. Then, big machines scoop the coal
out of the ground. At the power station, the crush coal is burnt. The
burning coal heats water and makes it boil. Boiling water makes
steam. The steam turns a generator. This makes electricity.
Answer each question.
1. What is a mine and where do the miners work?
2. How did the miners work in the past?
3. What are the safety rules of mines?
4. What is the modern tool of mining?
5. What does happen after the coal is cut?
6. How does the electricity make the coal?

The Astronaut’s Diary
We were exhausted from all the work. We
slept in shifts. One of us had to be awake all
the time. Finally, we got to our destination.
We had reached the space station. We had so
much to do every day on our ship. Now there
would be more people to help us. We would
be on a
collaborative team. When we moved into the
space station, I felt great. There was so much more space. We
would have real beds to sleep in. We would have better food.
The six astronauts on the space station were happy to see us.
They said, “We have been waiting for you.” We were glad to see
them, too. That first night on the space station was great. We
had good food. We had a good dinner.
Then we were going to sleep. But one of the astronauts
said, “We need to give you a job. Each person has to take turns
staying awake. Here is the schedule.” I saw I was first. I would
have to stay awake tonight. I had been awake and working for 20
hours. I became an astronaut so that I could travel in space. Now
I’m here. It is hard work. It’s even more challenging than I
expected.
Answer the Questions.
1. What’s the name of their destination?
2. Why did he feel great?
3. How many astronauts were on the space station?
4. How did they enjoy the space station?
5. What did one of the astronauts say?
6. How long had he been working?

THE WIND AND THE SUN
the sweat from his face. "Ah!" he said, "I cannot stand this. It is so hot
that one might as well be in an oven!" Then he threw off his cloak, and
carried it under his arm; and when he came to a tree by the roadside
he sat down under its shade to cool himself. After that, the Wind never
claimed to be stronger than the Sun.
Answer each question.
1. What had the dispute been between the Wind and
the Sun? 2. What did the Wind say to the Sun?
By James Baldwin
Once the Wind and the Sun had a
dispute as to which was the stronger of
the two. "Do you see that traveler
plodding along the road?" said the
Wind. "Let us both try our strength on
him, and let the one who can first strip
him of his cloak be the winner."
"Agreed," said the Sun. The Wind began first. He blew a blast which sent
the leaves flying through air; he raised clouds of dust in the road, bent
the tops of the trees to the ground, and even tore up one sturdy oak
by the roots. But the traveler only drew his cloak the more tightly
around his shoulders, and kept on his way. Then the Sun began. He
burst out from behind a black cloud, and, little by little, darted his sultry
beams upon the traveler's head and back. The man did not notice this
much at first, but soon the heat was so great that he stopped to wipe
3. What did the Wind do then?
4. How did Sun try its strength?
5. What did the Wind never claim again?
