Bryan lay in bed, very sick, with a thermometer extending from his mouth and a cool, wet rag resting on his forehead. The curtains were drawn shut, but because they were thin, sunlight still streamed into the room. Bryan's eyes ached from the glare. His mother was running a humidifier in the room, causing the air to be thick and wet. Bryan was sure this air was much harder to breathe than normal air, but his mom insisted. She had rubbed mentholated gel under his nose and on his chest, and the vapors made him nauseous. I can't take it, Bryan thought to himself. I'm going to have to do something!

Bryan's mother walked into the room and withdrew the thermometer from his mouth. "How are you feeling?" she asked.

"Better," Bryan replied, trying to smile. "Think I'll be ready to go to school after lunch!"

This text takes place at...

• Bryan's school

• a hospital

• Bryan's house

When the spider finished speaking, he gave the elder the web and told him how the web was a perfect circle with a hole in the center. The spider called it a "dream catcher" and said, "Use the web to help your people reach their goals, making good use of their ideas, dreams, and visions for the future. The web will remind people that they should keep their positive ideas and influences and the let the bad slip away. By focusing on their hopes and dreams, people who allow the good in their lives will persevere."

Our Flag

by Margaret E. Sangster

Fling it from mast and steeple,

Symbol o'er land and sea

Of the life of a happy people,

Gallant and strong and free.

Proudly we view its colors,

Flag of the brave and true,

With the clustered stars and the steadfast bars,

The red, the white, and the blue.

Flag of the fearless-hearted,

Flag of the broken chain,

Flag in a day-dawn started,

Never to pale or wane.

Dearly we prize its colors,

With the heaven light breaking through,

The clustered stars and the steadfast bars,

The red, the white, and the blue.

Flag of the sturdy fathers,

Flag of the loyal sons,

Beneath its folds it gathers

Earth's best and noblest ones.

Boldly we wave its colors,

Our veins are thrilled anew

By the steadfast bars, the clustered stars,

The red, the white, and the blue.

When Davy was a little older, he met Davies Gilbert, who played a key role in shaping Davy's professional career in the field of science. Davy started experimenting on different gases and chemicals. In 1800, he published his book Researches, Chemical and Philosophical. In 1808, Davy discovered the five elements barium, calcium, boron, strontium, and magnesium. This discovery brought him a lot of fame and made him a celebrity overnight. The fame and recognition made him haughty. People began to criticize him and gossiped about him. Although Davy's way of dressing was rustic, he was ambitious and wanted to be a part of the elite London crowd. This led to him being ridiculed by the usually well-dressed people, but Davy was immune to their reactions and remained focused on his work.

Based on the context of the passage, what does the word immune suggest about Sir Humphrey Davy?

• He had special protection and this made people jealous.

• He was not easily affected by what people said about him.

• He was determined and strong-willed in his research.

• He was strong and would not fall sick easily, unlike others.
