On July 4, 1939, Lou Gehrig gave one of the most famous speeches in sports history. The occasion was "Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day" at Yankee Stadium in New York. Parts of the speech are well known to this day: "Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth." The audio recording of his voice echoing throughout the stadium has been replayed countless times.
The "bad break" Gehrig alluded to in his speech was his contraction of a fatal disease known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS. ALS is a neuromuscular disease that attacks nerve cells in the central nervous system, causing paralysis and eventually death. No one knows what causes ALS, and nearly 30,000 people in the United States live with the disease. Because of Gehrig's extreme celebrity and the tragedy of his death, ALS is commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Before the symptoms of ALS began causing problems for Gehrig, he was one of the greatest baseball players in history. Known as "The Iron Horse" because of his durability, Gehrig played in 2,130 straight games without an absence. The streak was cut short by Gehrig's retirement due to ALS. The streak of 2,130 consecutive games stood for 56 years until it was broken by Cal Ripken, Jr. in 1995. Sixty years after he retired, fans made him the leading vote-getter for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team.
Over 70 years later, what many remember about Gehrig is his humbleness. He always recognized that he was, in his own words, "the luckiest man on the face of the earth." He had been given extraordinary athletic ability and played on one of the greatest baseball teams in history. He had loving, supportive parents and a wife of tremendous bravery. He was able to do what he loved most, play baseball, for 16 seasons. Though he died only two short years after his disease was diagnosed, Gehrig will long be remembered.

Passage 1: Excerpt from Will Yellow School Buses Soon Become Rolling Ads?
1 Tight school budgets could soon translate into Missouri school districts’ selling ad space on yellow school buses.



2 Missouri state Rep. T.J. Berry, R-Kearney, says his bill—HB 224—isn’t a cure-all by any stretch. But legalizing ads inside and outside the buses would give school districts one additional way to raise money in these tough times.



3 “Every single school district has had to deal with budget concerns,” Berry said last week. “And generally speaking, the way they have had to deal with those has been cuts or tax increases.”



4 The school bus is something that is already out there and paid for, he said. His bill would permit districts to generate a modest stream of income from their buses.



5 Few question the need for finding additional funds when it comes to educating children, but at least two groups think the school bus exteriors should remain ad-free.



6 “There is no such thing as free money,” said Josh Golin, associate director for the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood. “There are real costs to this: the price of selling out your students to advertisers.”



7 Students don’t need the first and last message they receive from their schools each day to be advertisements, Golin said. Students boarding a bus are certainly a captive audience.



8 The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services opposes advertising on safety grounds. Obscuring the recognizable school-bus yellow exterior with ads and distracting other drivers “present a safety problem around school buses that cannot be ignored,” the group said in its position paper.



9 National studies have shown that anything that diverts a driver’s attention from the road can pose a hazard, opponents say.



10 “And a big yellow bus doesn’t distract?” Berry asked.



11 Several years ago in Indiana, a Department of Education lawyer suggested that allowing advertisements on buses would invite First Amendment challenges by spurned advertisers, the group noted.



12 Berry said the bill would limit the types of advertising that would be allowed.



13 The regulations would prohibit ads that contain obscene or sexual material, or messages associated with gambling, tobacco products, alcohol, and political campaigns or causes. The ads could not promote drug use or “any illegal activity or antisocial behavior.” They can’t contain “harmful, discriminatory, false, misleading or deceptive” messages.



14 “There are a lot of safeguards being built in,” he said.



15 Berry emphasized that the space reserved for the ads would be “very limited,” meaning toward the back of the bus.



16 By 2012, nine states—Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas and Utah—permitted advertising on the exterior of school buses, according to the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood. Several, including Missouri, considered it last year.



17 The bill made it out of the Missouri House last year but did not clear the Senate, Berry said. He acknowledged that the idea was “very controversial.”

Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And, when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When
the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the
Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a
promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a
promise that all men - yes, black men as well as white men - would be
guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.

-Martin Luther King, Jr.'s I Have a Dream

Jolene was hungry and craving a big bowl of cereal. Peering into the fridge,
she remembered that she had used the rest of the milk last night. Maybe her
mom was on the way home and could pick some up. Her quick text message
was met with an immediate response: "Stuck at work, won't be home for an
hour." With no stores in walking distance, Jolene rummaged through the
cabinet to find a jar and ventured to her neighbor's house to borrow a cup of
milk. A boy from her class, Allen, answered the doorbell. Darn - Jolene had
hoped that Allen's sister Isabel would answer. Allen and Jolene had never
liked each other much. Allen said they didn't have any milk either. Jolene knew
he was lying but, saying nothing, she left and continued on to the next house.

LEGO Builders Can Go Pro
Let's say you're spending the day building a LEGO model. You rummage through multitudes of multicolored bricks until you spot—aha!—just the right sizes and shapes. You arrange and assemble them, carefully constructing your masterpiece brick by brick. The reward for your stick-to-itiveness might be a car, a castle, or a character from your favorite movie. It could be a dinosaur, a donut shop, or a detailed replica of the International Space Station. Now imagine you had something else to show for your efforts…a paycheck!
That's all in a day's work for LEGO model designers. These creative professionals earn a living by playing with the popular plastic construction toys. They develop the designs for the LEGO sets sold around the world, from simple products for young kids to monumental challenges for collectors. Open any LEGO box and you can see the results of hundreds of choices made by designers. They decide on the shapes, sizes, colors, and quantities of the pieces and how they fit together.
But not all their creations are destined to be packaged in a box and sold from store shelves. Designers also get to make the models used in LEGO movies, as well as plan and construct the miniature metropolises and larger-than-life figures at LEGOLAND theme parks. Imagine getting paid to build an 8-foot (2.4-meter) sculpture of Batman out of LEGO bricks. Now that's a dream job with super fun benefits!
Designers use their imaginations and problem-solving skills to turn ideas into reality, staying involved from conception to production. To develop a design, they use both hands-on and digital techniques. They might begin by settling down with a bunch of bricks, trying out different ideas and combinations. Once they've put together a workable physical model, they recreate their design virtually using animation software.
What kind of education and experience do you need to land this gig? Many LEGO model designers studied 3-D (three-dimensional) arts or architecture in college. But the ability to transform a pile of plastic pieces into a masterful model is essential. That means one of the best ways to prepare for this job is to spend a lot of time…playing with LEGO! If you like to while away hour after hour up to your elbows in those beloved bricks, you could be building a strong foundation for a career.
For LEGO model designers, creativity is key, so if you're interested in going pro, think outside the box. It's great to be able to follow the directions to build a packaged model. But coming up with your own creations can be even more constructive. The company suggests that would-be designers start by using LEGO bricks to copy real-world objects, then move on to envisioning fantastical creations fresh from their own imaginations.
Need some inspiration to build on? The LEGO Group's website LEGO Ideas (ideas.lego.com) is a hub for dedicated LEGO fans of all ages. Kids, teens, and AFOLs (Adult Fans of LEGO) can share their creations with other LEGO enthusiasts. They can take part in activities and challenges and enter contests to win prizes, including LEGO sets, shopping sprees, or even trips. So even if you're not ready to put together a plan for a career as a LEGO model designer, there are still some ways to play with these cool construction toys for fun and profit!

Read the two passages.

Passage 1

Most of the planets in our solar system have moons. Our planet has only one, but some planets have several. For example, Jupiter has at least 53. Some planets, like Venus, have no moons. While other planets are somewhere in between. This table shows the number of moons that each planet has.



Passage 2

People have looked at the night sky throughout history. In fact, ancient sailors used the stars as a tool. For example, Polaris, or the North Star, has historically been a useful compass because it is always in the northern sky. At first, people used their eyes to study the stars. Eventually, telescopes were invented. One famous astronomer, Galileo Galilei, made a telescope that was similar to the ones we use today. He used it to prove that Earth revolved around the sun. Astronomers since have made many discoveries with more powerful telescopes.

Based on the information in Passage 1, what would be a good addition to Passage 2?
A definition for vocabulary words related to the solar system, like planet, moon, and star
A detail about recent astronomers' discoveries of different moons using the Hubble telescope
A photograph of different types of binoculars and telecsopes people can use to view moons
A table showing astronomers' discoveries of different planets and moons throughout history
