Everything we hear is made up of sound waves. These waves vibrate1 in the air. As the waves move into your ear, your eardrum vibrates and turns the waves into music, words, and other sounds. Headphones use sound waves just like your ear. The waves travel up the cords from the phone, music player, etc. They move through a magnet and into a coil. This coil vibrates the same way as your eardrum. The sound waves from the coil move into the speakers and into your ear.

Just make sure you collect more than Charlotte Lee: she has 5,631. Think you can whistle the longest? Whistle for more than 25 hours 30 minutes and five seconds straight, and you will beat the world record. Whatever you choose, make sure it is something you can measure. (Sorry, there is no record for the world’s best sixth grader!)
Next, if you want your record to really count, you’ll have to file an application with Guinness World Records. It collects and prints books of world record holders across the globe. Visit www.guinnessworldrecords.com and download a free application. Fill out your form, and wait at least six weeks to find out if your record will be one for the books!

Passage 1
Opossums are small mammals that are about the size of a cat. Opossums are marsupials. They keep their young in a special pouch that is part of their body. Opossums defend themselves from other animals by playing dead. They will do this by being very still. Then, they will foam at the mouth and even start to smell bad.
Passage 2
Armadillos are small mammals that live mostly in Texas. "Armadillo" is a Spanish word that means "little armored one." These animals got their name from the bony shell that covers their bodies.
