Horrible Hilarious Hiccups

At some point in your life, you've probably had the hiccups. Hiccups can be funny or annoying, but what causes them? Normally when you breathe in, a muscle in your abdomen called the diaphragm tightens, or contracts, and your lungs fill with air. Sometimes, the diaphragm contracts too quickly. What does that cause? That causes you to hiccup over and over. Normally hiccups only last for a few minutes. But in rare cases they can last for days or even weeks. The longest case of hiccups ever recorded was 68 years!

According to the text, what causes hiccups?

Microchips are easily and quickly implanted just under the skin in a dog or cat. Once the chip is in place, it goes unnoticed by the animal due to its minute size, that of a grain of rice. This microchip is activated by a scanner that reads and transmits the identification number to a computer screen where it can be read.

Why aren't the animals bothered by the microchips?

Stephen and Joseph Montgolfier were papermakers, but they had been interested in flying for many years. One night, in 1782, Joseph noticed something that gave him an idea. He was sitting in front of the fire when he saw some small pieces of scorched paper being carried up the chimney.Soon afterwards, the brothers conducted an experiment. They lit a fire under a small silk bag, which was open at the bottom; at once, the bag rose to the ceiling. After this, Stephen and Joseph conducted many more experiments, both indoors and in the open air. Eventually, they built a huge balloon of linen and paper. On June 5th, 1783, they launched their balloon in the village of Annonay.

Which sentence in this article provides text evidence for the inference that the Montgolfier brothers used hot air to lift their balloon?

The safety bar clicks into place. You take a deep breath as the clanking wheels carry you slowly up the hill. Suddenly, you’re plunging down at 80 miles per hour—holding on for dear life and screaming wildly. If this is your idea of fun, then you’re one of the millions of people willing to wait in 2-hour lines for a 21/2 minute roller-coaster ride at one of America’s 600 theme parks. Roller coasters are more popular than ever, it

seems. Roller coasters have come a long way since they first appeared in Russia more than 500 years ago. For thrills, Russians rode sleighs down ice-covered wooden tracks. Since then, roller coasters have gotten a lot more sophisticated, but the basic idea remains the same. Most of them use the G-force, or the force of Earth’s gravity, to move. Earth’s gravity pulls at you with a force of 1G, but most roller coasters are designed to pull with a greater force. Many now have a force of 4G–5G. The Tower of Terror in South Africa measures 6.3G! That makes for some heavy, and very scary, thrills.

From this story you can infer that
