Weather reporters need to know where the cold air is

When some people think about Texas, they think of cowboys on the open range-herding cattle up a dusty trail. However, Texas has much more than open prairie with large herds of cows. There are the mountains of West Texas, the piney hills of east Texas, and the emerald waters off the coast of Padre Island. Texas also has large coastal harbors with numerous sailboats, powerboats, inland lakes, rivers, swamps of southeast Texas with alligators and other exotic wildlife. The Summary of this passage is:

There are many different, varied parts of Texas.

There are a lot of cows in Texas.

Texas is one of the biggest states in the United States.

There are alligators in the swampland of southeast Texas.

Tomorrow is Jill's birthday. She is excited because she gets to pick where she will eat dinner. Will it be Mexican food at the Big Enchilada House?

How would she ever decide? Maybe she would just flip a coin. The Summary of this passage is:

Jill has many restaurants to choose from for her birthday.

The Pizza Shop has the best pizza in town.

Jill will choose a place by flipping a coin.
