In 2012, a group of scientists were exploring a rain forest in South America when, all of the sudden, they heard a familiar noise. It was the sound of frogs! When they shined their flashlights in the direction of the noise and found a tiny frog, the frog had large eyes and bright-green colored skin. However, it had one very interesting feature. The skin on its belly was so clear that the scientists could see its organs! Because it had transparent skin, the scientists knew it was a type of glass frog .

Have you ever wondered how we know about people who lived in a long time ago? If people didn't leave behind any written records, how do we know which languages they spoke, the type of food they ate, or what they wore for clothing? One of the methods we have for learning about the people who lived long ago is through archaeology . Archaeology is the study of past life through things that have been left behind. An archaeologist might discover jewelry, tools, or the bones of a human body! Each finding is like the piece to a puzzle. The archaeologist works to put these pieces together and create an idea of what life was like in ancient times. The author may have included this picture in order to--

provide an example of an the types of artifacts found by archaeologists.

prove how talented people were in ancient times at creating and designing pottery.

to show the type of clothing ancient people wore many years ago.

to show how archaeologists rebuild artifacts by putting together pieces back together.

Some parents want the Hunger Games books removed because they include violence and adult themes.

Most parents don't have time to find out everything their kids are reading. They should be able to trust schools to do that for them. What is the main idea of the selection above?

Parents trust schools to use books that are good for kids.

Hunger Games books should be removed from schools because they contain violence.

Teresa, a girl from school, happened to be outside, planting flowers. “Hey Teresa, what are you up to?” Michael asked, walking over to her yard. “Ugh, trying to plant these flowers as quickly as possible so I can go to the dance tonight.” Michael laughed and said, “I feel your pain.

Why don’t you finish helping me plant the flowers, and I’ll help you rake the leaves! That way, we can get our work done twice as fast and surely make it to our destination tonight.” Michael pondered this idea for a short period of time and then said, “My uncle always says, ‘Two heads are better than one!’ Great thinking, Teresa!” Together, the two of them planted many flowers in the garden, then jetted over to Michael’s yard and raked up the leaves in record time. “Thank you so much for your help,” Michael yelled as he made his way inside to grab his wallet and head out the door.

Getting paid for good grades is sending a mixed message to our kids. By paying kids for getting A's, we are showing them that you should only work hard in life so that you can be rewarded with money. But this isn't always the case. Sometimes you should work hard , becausee it is the right and expected thing to do. You should be giving %100 of your effort in school because it is the responsible thing to do, not because you are getting paid for it. Students should be working hard to learn skills that will help them as an adult, not working hard for the purpose of making money. Working hard is just a part of life.
What is the author's point of view?

We should pay students for good grades to teach them important life lessons.

We shouldn't pay students for good grades, they should want to work hard because it is the right thing to do.

Working hard is important.

Being responsible is important.
