The coming of the Green Knight

Now I will say no more of the service, but that ye may know there was no lack, for there drew near a venture that the folk might well have left their labour to gaze upon. As the sound of the music ceased, and the first course had been fitly served, there came in at the hall door one terrible to behold, of stature greater than any on earth; from neck to loin so strong and thickly made, and with limbs so long and so great that he seemed even as a giant. And yet he was but a man, only the mightiest that might mount a steed; broad of chest and shoulders and slender of waist, and all his features of like fashion; but men marvelled much at his colour, for he rode even as a knight, yet was green all over.

The fashion of the knight

For he was clad all in green, with a straight coat, and a mantle above; all decked and lined with fur was the cloth and the hood that was thrown back from his locks and lay on his shoulders. Hose had he of the same green, and spurs of bright gold with silken fastenings richly worked; and all his vesture was verily green. Around his waist and his saddle were bands with fair stones set upon silken work, 'twere too long to tell of all the trifles that were embroidered thereon–birds and insects in gay gauds of green and gold.

What is the best description of the mood created by the setting of this passage?

A) Humorous, because the knight was not invited to the party
B) Peaceful, because the knight brought a sense of calm to the party
C) Threatening, because the knight showed up suddenly to the party
D) Uplifting, because the knight who showed up is interesting and glamorous

Read the following passage from "What Does American Democracy Mean to Me" by Mary McLeod Bethune and answer the question that follows:

As we have been extended a measure of democracy, we have brought to the nation rich gifts. We have helped to build America with our labor, strengthened it with our faith and enriched it with our song. We have given you Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Booker T. Washington, Marian Anderson and George Washington Carver. But even these are only the first fruits of a rich harvest, which will be reaped when new and wider fields are opened to us.

Which of the following is the best paraphrase of the above passage?

1. America is like a great farmland of amazing people doing amazing things. We have given our gifts to help this country grow and we will continue to harvest.
2. "As we have been extended a measure of democracy, we have brought to the nation rich gifts. We have helped to build America with our labor, strengthened it with our faith and enriched it with our song. We have given you Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Booker T. Washington, Marian Anderson and George Washington Carver. But even these are only the first fruits of a rich harvest, which will be reaped when new and wider fields are opened to us."
3. Democracy is great and we're glad to be part of it. We're glad to help America grow with our work, our religion, our songs, our authors, and our inventors.
4. Mary Mcleod Bethune says that when democracy applies to her people even a little bit, it's been great for the country. Their hard work, their religious faith, their songs make America stronger. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Booker T. Washington, Marian Anderson, and George Washington Carver are all amazing parts of this country. But there will be even more greatness when they have more rights.

Haley was putting the finishing touches on her famous apple pie when the phone rang. She dashed to answer it. After all, this might be the call that she had been waiting for. Even though her hands were still covered in flour, she grabbed the phone before it could ring a second time. “Hello. You’ve reached the Williams residence,” she said, trying to make her voice sound calm and collected. “Is this Haley Williams?” asked the voice on the other end of the line. “Yes, it is. How may I help you?” Haley replied. “Ms. Haley Williams, we are proud to announce that you are a finalist in the National Pie Competition. The championship round will be held next weekend in Tampa, Florida. You and your family are invited to join us. Good luck!” “Why thank you very much,” Haley said graciously. “I am looking forward to it.” After hanging up, Haley took a deep breath and let out an ear-piercing scream of excitement. She jumped up and down and ran around the kitchen with glee. In the pandemonium, her apple pie was knocked off the counter and landed on the floor, where her two puppies immediately began to gobble it down. Haley just laughed at the mess. As she cleaned the floor, she began to think very carefully about her plan for the upcoming week. With the big competition only one week away, Haley decided that she better make three pies every day. This practice would allow her to experiment with the crust, the filling, and the baking time. She wanted to do everything she possibly could to ensure that her pie was a winner. Her friend, Max, who was thrilled to find out that Haley was a finalist, offered his kitchen for practice. Haley thanked him. She knew that cooking in an unfamiliar kitchen would be excellent practice for the competition. Haley worked hard all week, doing nothing but baking pies. Not every pie turned out well. Some had a soggy crust or burned a little on the top. Haley threw out the bad pies and carefully wrapped the successful pies and delivered them to her neighbors and friends.

Superhero 101: A Dog's Day

Trace was still thinking about the conversation with his grandmother when he stopped so abruptly that Liam literally collided with him. “Hey, what gives?” Liam asked. “You were this close to wearing my ice cream in your hair. Why’d you stop?”

Tia and Blade had continued walking, but now they were headed back toward their friends to find out why they had stopped. Blade immediately noticed Trace’s countenance and followed his gaze. She was the most intuitive and observant of the group. Suddenly, she gasped.

“What is wrong with you two?” Liam, who was more interested in saving his ice cream than saving the world, asked before they had a chance to explain.

Trace spoke in hushed tones, “Look, over there. It’s Casper. He’s supposed to be in prison. What is he doing at the pet store?”

Liam and Tia looked toward the pet store as the four friends dodged into an alleyway, trying not to look too conspicuous. Casper was obviously in disguise himself with his dyed brown hair and beard. The last thing the group needed was for Casper to realize that he had been spotted by his nemesis. The last time he and Trace had met, Trace and his friends had thwarted Casper's plot to create a deadly toxin designed to help him take over the world. That was three months ago, and now it looked like he had somehow escaped from prison and was up to something equally menacing and ominous.

Casper was leaving the pet store and getting into a car, so the friends hurried to their car. They followed him to an abandoned pet-food manufacturing plant at the edge of town. Once Casper ducked inside, the four friends did the same but were soon confronted by an angry pack of dogs. Trace motioned for his friends to come close to him as he created a shield around them. He remembered the time when Tia had used her superpower to make the group invisible. They had been running from Casper and his henchmen. “Tia, make us invisible!” Trace shouted.

However, the friends’ scent wasn’t invisible, and the dogs could not be deterred. The dogs followed the friends as they made their way to where Casper appeared to be manufacturing something that smelled awful.

PLEASE SOLVE THIS! IT IS A CODE! I NEED THE CODE TO PASS THE "ESCAPE ROOM"! PLEASE HELP.

Bloodletting represents the folly of the past, the sorcery and the misguided physiology that we now proudly say marked the dark ages of medicine - or did it (1)? In fact, bloodletting has a place in medicine today and a history that is worthy of review.

The Four Humors
The traditionally held "Father of Medicine" was the Greek physician Hippocrates (460-370 BC), who taught medicine on the island of Cos. One of his major precepts was the rule of harmony, the theory that all body systems were in balance and that disease resulted from an imbalance. Galen (130-201 AD) was the physician to Marcus Aurelius and became the heir to Hippocrates and one of the most influential physicians of all times. He taught the importance of maintaining balance between the four bodily fluids, or "humors" (2): blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Each fluid was associated with a specific personality characteristic. Blood was associated with a sanguine personality, that is laughter, music, and a passionate disposition. Someone with a phlegmatic personality was sluggish and dull, while yellow bile represented an individual quick to anger or choleric (cholera meaning yellow as in yellow fever). Lastly, black bile represented a melancholic or depressed personality, melan meaning black. It was the job of the physician to restore harmony in those four humors by the use of emetics, cathartics, purgatives, and by bloodletting. Bleeding was used to reduce excess circulation, to slow the pulse, and to "reduce irritation", all felt to be the cause of inflammation. Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was a major figure in colonial American medicine and was an important proponent of bleeding, though unfortunately he mistakenly thought that the body held 12 instead of 6 quarts. Shortly before his death, George Washington was bled 4 ‡ quarts in 24 hours for an infected throat and died not long after (3). Early transfusion was based on the notion that giving blood would help balance the humors (4). On June 15, 1667, Jean Davis replaced part of a patient's blood with sheep's blood though the patient died and Dr. Davis was subsequently accused of murder. Transfusion was set back until the 19th century, well before blood typing was understood.

A sitting man has a cut in his right arm that is bleeding into a bowl, while blood from a bottle connected to a tube in the man's left arm enters his body.

How would you summarize the second paragraph?
a. Black bile represented a melancholic personality.
c. George Washington had a sanguine temperament.
b.Bleeding was used to balance the four humors
d. Yellow bile makes people mean.

Well, yes, actually. No one had even heard of a "selfie" back then. Still, people took plenty of photographs of themselves using traditional film. But they kept more personal shots like baby pics private, as unique items of posterity to be preserved in an actual album.



. The only time a teen might be embarrassed by what was in it would be at a holiday party. At dinner, an aunt or uncle might bust it out at the table for a laugh at snapshots of the kid galumphing around as a big-eyed, roly-poly toddler.



But, boy, have things changed. Studies now show that, statistically speaking, the average person today could have up to 1,500 personal photographs posted online by the time he or she is 5 years old. Is all that life-documenting potentially life-damaging?

HelloJenat9 avatar

The real answer? It's complicated. Although the ability to post online may be an overall net positive, there can be significant drawbacks to it. One 14-year-old girl, for instance, was unpleasantly surprised to discover hundreds of photos of herself online.


Many of them went all the way back to her birth. Her mom, as it turned out, was engaged in sharenting behind her daughter's back. And it wasn't just photos: The mom had written all about her daughter's sometimes difficult or even humiliating social struggles. Someone call the post patrol!

The mother may have been sorry. But in a newspaper article she wrote about the experience, she said she doesn't actually intend to stop sharenting. She and her daughter have spoken about the issue and come to a compromise in which the daughter now gets the final say on what gets published. But the sharenting itself? Can't stop, won't stop.


So what would you do in this situation? Though oversharing adults may mean well, it's still easy to imagine that public posts might not only embarrass kids, but even cause some harm down the road. In fact, many universities and employers (70 percent of them!) are now in the habit of viewing a candidate's online history before making offers.



There's also the question of who has the right to post kids' photos online. Don't parents have the right to show off pics of their kids? One way to work this out might be for kids and adults to sit down, have a frank discussion, and come to an agreement about it. Kids might even avoid personal embarrassments by asking their parents straight up if they're sharenting.



If they are, kids can make their preferences clear and go from there, while keeping in mind that sharenting is likely done out of an excess of pride in one's kids. If kids want parents to see things their way, it may be worth considering their parents' views on the issue, too.



And don't forget that oversharing also applies to friends and siblings. Getting consent before posting about someone else online could help make sure that what's put out there isn't total TMI.

Which passage from the Article best supports the idea that sharenting has now become a widespread phenomenon?

A. There's also the question of who has the right to post kids' photos online. Don't parents have the right to show off pics of their kids? One way to work this out might be for kids and adults to sit down, have a frank discussion, and come to an agreement about it.

B. But, boy, have things changed. Studies now show that, statistically speaking, the average person today could have up to 1,500 personal photographs posted online by the time he or she is 5 years old. Is all that life-documenting potentially life-damaging?

C. You probably can't imagine a world without social media apps. But before the 2000s, there was nosocial media. That means parents didn't yet have the chance to become "sharents."

D. So what would you do in this situation? Though oversharing adults may mean well, it's still easy to imagine that public posts might not only embarrass kids, but even cause some harm down the road.

Sloths are notorious for being slow, traveling a mere 0.03 kilometers (120 feet) each day. These live high up in the trees of Central and South American forests. Their slow movements may not make them that exciting to watch, but if you're a scientist who is studying them, that slowness is a big plus.

"They're actually a great study animal for the wild because you can collect a lot of data on them," says Giles Duffield. He is a biologist at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.

A few years back, Duffield studied birds in Bolivia, but it was a lot harder to study a bird than a sloth. "You'd see some parrots and you'd make some notes and then they were gone and you wouldn't see them again for another 24 hours," he says.

Duffield and his colleagues now collect data on the brown-throated three-toed sloths that live in the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. In June 2020, Duffield reported his work studying sloths and their circadian rhythms. These are the 24 hour schedules that control the sleeping and eating patterns of animals.

A Lot Of Rest
Brown-throated three-toed sloths can stay in sight—or even in the same tree—for nearly 24 hours. They rest anywhere from 75 to 90 percent of the time, allowing scientists like Duffield to closely observe sloths in their habitat, or natural environment where it lives.

Older studies on sloths suggested that sloths could be nocturnal, which means they are active during the night and sleep during the day. Other studies showed they had no set activity pattern of waking and sleeping at all: they are active at any time during their 24-hour cycle, night or day, without any issues.

Duffield and his team, on the other hand, found that their sloths were mostly diurnal, meaning they're active during the day and sleep during the night. "So this was kind of the opposite to what we'd expected," he says.

The scientists wanted to find out why their results were so different from the conclusions that previous scientists made. One possibility is that Duffield's study was unique because the team observed the sloths over complete 24-hour cycles. They monitored the sloths this way for 29 days, providing a clearer picture of sloth behavior.

There's another difference between Duffield's work and previous research: the habitats the sloths lived in. The brown-throated three-toed sloths lived in habitats disturbed by humans, while other sloths were in undisturbed habitats.

Damaged Ecosystems
The sloth's Atlantic Forest home is in trouble, with an estimated 98 percent of its woodland being lost. The forest has been highly disturbed by humans, who have hunted its animals, cleared its trees, built many roads, and developed the land. This means that a lot of the animals and plants that once lived there are gone. The sloth's predators, the animals that would eat the sloths for food, are gone too.

Sloths may have been nocturnal to improve their chances of survival in a more challenging environment. But Duffield thinks that because their predators in the Atlantic Forest are now extinct, sloths don't have to compete with other species for food. The animals can find enough food to live during the daytime instead of mostly at night. The switch between nighttime and daytime behaviors could be the way sloths handle a damaged ecosystem. These are biological communities made up of plants, animals, and microorganisms.

"A lot of organisms can't readily change their day to night activity," he says. "Their survival strategy requires one or the other." So it may well be that change, or that association with daytime as opposed to nighttime, or not having a set activity pattern, does change some of the organisms associated with the sloth. For example, algae and insects find homes in sloth fur.

"That's something we'd love to examine," Duffield says. For this new research, Duffield's most important piece of equipment is perhaps a comfortable chair.
