Many people think that they can get sick by going into cold weather improperly dressed; however, illnesses are
not caused by temperature- they are caused by germs. So while shivering outside in the cold probably won’t strengthen
your immune system, you’re more likely to contract an illness indoors because you will have a greater exposure to
germs.

D. People will have greater exposure to germs.
B. Directions: Read the paragraph inside the box. Complete the information needed in the graphic organizer below it.
Students are not allowed to chew gum in my class. While some students think that I am just being mean,
there are many good reasons for this rule. First, some irresponsible students make messes with their gum. They may
leave it on the bottoms of desks, drop it on the floor, or put it on other people’s property. Another reason why I don’t
allow students to chew gum is because it is a distraction. When they are allowed to chew gum, students are more
worried about having it, popping it, chewing it, and snapping it then they are in listening, writing, reading, and learning.
This is why I don’t allow students to chew gum in my class.

Just as Peanuts seems to have absorbed so much of the popular culture which preceded it, the

our daily lives, and not simply because we can open our daily newspapers and find it there without fail (for over
14,000 days now without interruption—one of the few certainties in a world beset by unsettling
changes). Peanuts has become an integral part of the history of American culture through its influence in so many
areas of our life and society.

The concept of fairness is central to understanding plagiarism. Fairness means being fair both to yourself and
others. Moreover, everybody both gives and receives their proper due, and nobody has anything to complain about. For
example, an incident involving unfairness could be taking someone else’s work and passing it off as your own. As a result,
the person whose work has been taken receives no recognition or acknowledgment for their research and thinking.
Furthermore, writers who plagiarize are not being fair to themselves either because they are not developing their own
independent academic skills. Therefore, students who do their own work with due acknowledgement of the work of others
should develop their own academic skills and self- confidence far more than those who merely misuse the work of others.
