Stick an Orange in Your Gas Tank!
Stick an Orange in Your Gas Tank!
by Jan Suszkiw
1
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an orange-load could keep your car on the road. That’s if Florida chemist Karel (pronounced “Carl”) Grohmann’s idea ever bears fruit: making ethanol, a natural “biofuel,” from the peels, pulp, and other wastes of processed oranges.
2
He first came up with the idea about six years ago at the Citrus and Subtropical Products Research Laboratory in Winter Haven, Florida. The lab is part of USDA’s Agricultural Service. Grohmann’s idea may sound wacky until you learn that oranges and their peels are chock-full of many different kinds of sugars, like fructose. These sugars can be fermented by microscopic yeasts to make a type of alcohol called ethanol.
3
Most ethanol is now made out of fermented corn sugars. Today, ethanol is used in about 11 percent of all automotive fuel blends sold in the U.S. In some states, ethanol is regularly sold to help hold down air pollution from cars, trucks, and buses because the oxygen it adds to petroleum-based fuels like gasoline helps neutralize carbon monoxide.
4
Until recently, no one has tried making this natural biofuel from orange peels or other citrus waste. In Grohmann’s view, Florida, the Sunshine State, was the perfect place to start. Juice makers and other food processors generate millions of pounds of citrus waste there each year. This waste is dried, pressed, and sold as animal feed. But citrus growers and processors don’t earn much from such waste. It usually sells for less than five cents a pound.
5
Grohmann figured he could squeeze more value out of the industry’s citrus castaways. He knew that yeasts could partially ferment orange sugars into ethanol, also called ethyl alcohol. But he knew that certain natural oils in orange peels keep the yeasts from finishing the job. Grohmann, therefore, decided to get extra help from another microbe, a bacterium called Escherichia coli KO11. This one-celled assistant came from the lab of two University of Florida scientists with whom Grohmann teamed up. They gave the bacterium special genes for fermenting the leftover sugars.
6
When grown in a batch of citrus waste, KO11 quickly ferments the sugars that the yeast passed up. It takes the hardworking bacterium only about two days to convert the unfermented sugars into ethanol, acetic acid, and carbon dioxide.
7
Ethanol isn’t the only valuable product from the bacterium’s efforts, Grohmann says. The carbon dioxide, for example, can be captured and frozen into dry ice, which keeps perishable items cold during shipping and storage. Acetic acid is used in many industrial products—from organic solvents to food items such as vinegar and flavorings. All this from oranges! And you thought they were just for eating, and the peels only good for throwing away.

According to the passage, what is the biggest challenge Grohmann faced in his attempt to make ethanol from citrus wastes?
a. determining why yeast was unable to ferment all parts of an orange peel
b. developing a bacterium that could aid yeasts in breaking down sugars
c. convincing growers that citrus wastes can be used for something other than animal food
d. finding a large quantity of inexpensive orange wastes for his experiments

In the 19th century, a central European scientist determined patterns in how pea plants pass on traits to their offspring. In the mid-20th century, British and American scientists determined the structure of DNA. In 2003, scientists from several countries defined the genetic makeup of humans in great detail.

These events illustrate that...

scientists from any culture can make new discoveries and build on previous discoveries.

B.
scientists from different cultures cannot seem to agree on genetics.

C.
new discoveries show that previous scientific work should never have been done.

D.

​

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.

President George W. Bush's speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln

Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland—and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike.

The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory.

Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war—after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history—you are homeward bound. Some of you will see new family members for the first time—150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you.

How does the sentence "Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home" support the central idea of the speech?

a
It furthers the notion that Americans want nothing to do with a war against terrorists.

b
It supports the idea that American troops will not occupy another country after defeating the enemy.

c
It supports the point that the war is an ongoing effort that cannot be won overnight.

d
It contributes to the notion that being a soldier is physically and emotionally demanding work.

passage? Select three options,
But Perseus was saved from his folly. Two great gods
were watching over him. He took ship as soon as he left
the King's hall, not daring to see his mother first and tell
her what he intended, and he sailed to Greece to learn
where the three monsters were found. He went to Delphi,
but all the priestess would say was to bid him seek the
land where men eat not Demeter's golden grain, but only
acorns. So he went to Dodona, in the land of oak trees,
where the talking oaks were which declared Zeus's will
and where the Selli lived who made their bread from
acorns.

Read the poem.

Aphra Behn lived and wrote in the 1600s and was the first woman in England to make a living as a professional writer. A political spy, playwright, novelist, and poet, Aphra broke social barriers while her literary works tackled controversial topics, including slavery, racism, desire, and gender. Her writings were considered scandalous for the time.

A Thousand Martyrs
by Aphra Behn

A thousand martyrs I have made,

All sacrificed to my desire;

A thousand beauties have betrayed,

That languish in resistless fire.

The untamed heart to hand I brought,

And fixed the wild and wandering thought.



I never vowed nor sighed in vain

But both, though false, were well received.

The fair are pleased to give us pain,

And what they wish is soon believed.

And though I talked of wounds and smart,

Love’s pleasures only touched my heart.



Alone the glory and the spoil

I always laughing bore away;

The triumphs, without pain or toil,

Without the hell, the heav’n of joy.

And while I thus at random rove

Despise the fools that whine for love.

One of the ways in which Otsuka signals that an object or animal is meaningful is by having it recur, something she also does with words and
phrases of dialogue. Sometimes she uses variation along with repetition: The boy keeps mistaking other men for his father; the woman worries that she will become unrecognizable to her husband; the children don’t recognize their returning father. Discuss Otsuka’s use of such themes and patterns. In what ways do they take the place of a conventional plot?
