DIRECTIONS Read the paragraph below. Then use what you have learned about paragraph structure to answer the questions below. Paragraph 6
My life as a teenager in Colonial America would have been different from my life as a teenager in America today. Although differences would appear in almost every aspect of my life, I will compare the two time periods just in terms of chores, education, and recreation.
For example, the chores I do today are quite different from those I would have done in colonial days. I usually just have to make my bed, keep my room clean, and help clear the table after supper. Sometimes I have to wash the dishes and take out the trash, but not all the time. In colonial days, though, I might have had to get up at sunrise to milk the cows or gather chicken eggs. I also might have had to chop firewood and start a fire before breakfast. Worse yet, I not only would have washed the dishes, but also might have had to haul water from a well before I could wash them! School would also have been different in colonial days. Today I study six different subjects in six different rooms with six different teachers. Back then, I probably would have been in a one-room schoolhouse. One teacher would have taught all subjects and grades, and we probably would have studied reading and writing mostly, without many choices of electives. Other chores I might have had to do include plowing the field, planting crops, or cleaning out the barn.
Similarly, what I would have done for recreation in colonial days is different from what I do now. Today I like to play video games, watch TV, or listen to CDs. Back then, those things wouldn’t even have existed. I probably would have run races. Maybe I would have drawn pictures in the dirt with a stick. Teenagers managed to have fun back then even without modern inventions.

Ineed . read this textbook passage. select the five (5) statements which are most logically supported by the given information. what would you do if you won ten million dollars in a lottery? your first reaction might be, “i’d spend the rest of my life on the beach (or skiing or traveling).” but in all likelihood you, like most other people who receive financial windfalls, would seek some kind of work eventually. a variety of motives keeps people working, even when they don’t need a paycheck to survive. if you’ve ever worked as a volunteer, you know that someone can be more satisfying than receiving pay. work also provides a sense of identity. one man aged 81 said, “i’ve been in the fabric business since i was a kid, and i still get a kick out of it." studies suggest that rats, pigeons, and children sometimes work to gain rewards, even if they can get the same rewards without working. one researcher wrote the following on the subject: rats will run down an alley tripping over hundreds of food pellets to obtain a single, identical pellet in the goal box, . . and pigeons will peck a key . . to get exactly the same food that is freely available in a nearby cup. given the choice of receiving marbles merely by waiting a certain amount of time for their delivery, children tend to prefer to press a lever . . to get the same marbles. 1. serving a purpose is satisfying. 2. it is not so lucky to win a large amount of money in a lottery. 3. endless “vacationing” eventually becomes dissatisfying. 4. the pay we receive is unimportant. 5. most people try to work as little as possible. 6. people, rats, and pigeons enjoy the challenges and interaction that work offers. 7. it generally feels better to achieve something than to be given something. 8. people who don’t retire continue to work only because they need the money. 9. most people who work as volunteers resent the fact that they are not paid for their work. 10. work can be its own reward.
