Which three sentences in this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” show that the narrator feels his crime will not be discovered?
When I had made an end of these labors, it was four o'clock—still dark as midnight. As the bell sounded the hour, there came a knocking at the street door. I went down to open it with a light heart,—for what had I now to fear? There entered three men, who introduced themselves, with perfect suavity, as officers of the police. A shriek had been heard by a neighbour during the night; suspicion of foul play had been aroused; information had been lodged at the police office, and they (the officers) had been deputed to search the premises.

I smiled,—for what had I to fear? I bade the gentlemen welcome. The shriek, I said, was my own in a dream. The old man, I mentioned, was absent in the country. I took my visitors all over the house. I bade them search—search well. I led them, at length, to his chamber. I showed them his treasures, secure, undisturbed. In the enthusiasm of my confidence, I brought chairs into the room, and desired them here to rest from their fatigues, while I myself, in the wild audacity of my perfect triumph, placed my own seat upon the very spot beneath which reposed the corpse of the victim.

This Mystery Rocks! By Cyntha Schlagel

1The Drifting Rocks are a strange phenomenon still unexplained by science. 2Located in Death Valley, California, the rocks sit on hot, flat ground. 3Unlike normal rocks, they have trails etched behind them as if they have traveled across the sand. 4Some trails are only a few feet. 5Some trails are over a half a mile long. 6Each trail is as baffling as the next.

7The variety of rock movement has baffled scientists for decades. 8Some rocks seem to roll as they move forward. 9Some take unexplainable routes. 10Large ones have traveled past small ones that have stayed still. 11Some scientists suggest that the rocks are pushed by wind. 12Others believe they slide on small amounts of ice or mud. 13So far, research has not confirmed any theory.

(Viewpoint 1) Vaccines: A Necessity for a Healthy Society
by Tom Cotterman
Parents have a lot to be concerned about today. They carefully supervise time spent in front of the television or at the computer and shuttle children between school and extracurricular activities. One thing parents should not be worried about is vaccinating their kids; still, the debate rages on.
A growing number of parents are choosing not to vaccinate their children. While there are legitimate reasons not to vaccinate, including certain medical conditions that compromise immune systems, many parents are objecting to vaccination shots for philosophical reasons. The real culprit undermining the public’s safety is a baseless claim that vaccinations lead to autism.
Autism is a complex developmental disorder with no known cause or cure. Symptoms usually present themselves before the age of three. Proponents of the autism-vaccine link argue that the fact that many autism diagnoses occur during the time many toddlers receive their first immunizations is more than just coincidence. The Centers for Disease Control found that there is no link between vaccines and autism. The recent rise in autism is scary, but blaming vaccines shifts the focus away from finding the true cause of this disease.
Parents put their children in serious danger by not immunizing. The diseases we immunize against are not gone and they are still deadly. Even chicken pox, a seemingly innocent disease, can kill. Choosing not to immunize endangers sick children and infants who cannot receive shots. It also undermines the community immunity. Unvaccinated individuals make it easier for diseases to spread.
Vaccination should not be a choice, but more states are passing laws that allow parents to send their children to school without their shots. Vaccines are not perfect; there is always some risk. But the risk is negligible when we consider the threat an unvaccinated society presents to us all.
(Viewpoint 2) Vaccines: A Parent’s Right to Choose
by: Janice Rowker
Deciding whether or not to vaccinate your children is a very personal and difficult decision. This is the reason more states are allowing exemptions from vaccinations. While no one questions that vaccines have saved countless lives, the alarming rise of diseases like autism and asthma over the past several decades have forced parents to examine what goes into their children’s bodies.
The ingredients in vaccines are shocking. Besides the bacteria that supposedly build up a child’s immunity to disease, many vaccines also contain aluminum, monosodium glutamate or MSG, and formaldehyde. That last ingredient is a known carcinogen. Can you imagine injecting a healthy newborn with a known cancer-causing agent?
Most people received vaccinations as children and led healthy lives, so they do not understand how their children could be in danger. The truth is children today receive more vaccine doses than we did when we were young. Do you remember getting the chicken pox? Today, we vaccinate kids against this common childhood disease. While the chicken pox is not fun, there is no reason to immunize a child against it. After having the chicken pox, your body builds up a natural immunity to it. As a parent, I know that I do not want unnatural chemicals in my children’s bodies.
Physicians and government officials argue that parents who don’t vaccinate are putting their communities at risk. They attempt to scare us into conforming by reminding us of the polio outbreaks of the 1900s. The chances of a child contracting polio are slim, but the Centers for Disease Control reported that doctors diagnose 1 in 150 children with autism each year. This is a gamble many parents aren’t willing to take. Though we care about our communities, our children’s health and safety will and must always come first.
9) The main purpose of this information is
A) to show how concerned parents are about their children.
B) to show the link between childhood vaccines and autism.
C) to encourage parents to make wise decisions concerning their children.
D) to present both sides of the argument about the vaccination of children.
10) Although the two passages express opposing views, they both talk about how vaccinations affect community health. Which of the choices has a logical conclusion drawn from the two articles?
A) People should begin to question the value of medical research.
B) Polio might return to America if all children are not vaccinated.
C) People who don't vaccinate their children don't care about their communities.
D) People need to decide whether community or individual health is more important.
