It takes a long time to drive all the way up the mountain by car. At the top, visitors park their cars and walk to the rim of a huge rock bowl. Inside the huge bowl is a beautiful blue lake. 2 Mount Mazama was once an active volcano. About 7,000 years ago a huge eruption blew apart the top of the mountain. The mountaintop broke into pieces and caved in. What was left was a great bowl in the earth. 3 Over thousands of years, the bowl filled with rainwater and melted snow. This bowl of clear blue water is called Crater Lake. The lake is six miles wide. At its deepest point it is 1,932 feet deep. Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States. Today it is the center of a national park. 09R20222I Crater Lake is located at the top of Mount Mazama. The lake is at an altitude of about 6,176 feet.

We don’t know much about his early life. He is remembered as a great thinker and teacher and is regarded by many people as one of the wisest men of all time. 2 Socrates didn’t think he knew the answers to all the great questions in life, such as what is right and what is fair. He believed that answers came from thoughtful discussions. Crowds used to gather around him on the streets of Athens and listen to him talk with people who thought they knew everything. For example, he might ask someone, “What is courage?” Then he would examine the answer by asking another question. He would continue asking questions about each response until the person finally realized that his first answer had not been fully correct. This method of teaching by questioning is still called the Socratic method. 3 Socrates’s guiding rule was “Know thyself.” He believed that goodness comes from knowledge and that wrongdoing is the result of ignorance, so no one knowingly does wrong. He also taught that people have a duty first to themselves rather than to the gods of the city or to the government. 4 Unfortunately Socrates’s teachings offended several important Athenians. He was arrested on charges of corrupting the youth of Athens and not believing in the gods of the city. He was tried and condemned to death. Socrates was willing to die rather than give up saying what he believed. He died in 399 B.C., leaving behind a wife and three children. 5 Although Socrates never wrote down his ideas, his most famous student Plato published many books about Socrates and his philosophy. The books are in the form of dialogues in which Socrates talks with others. Plato’s most renowned book is the Republic. The book is about justice. It is still widely read and taught in schools today. 6 Socrates used to say that he had no teachings to offer, only questions. Every time a teacher teaches by asking question after question after question, the spirit of Socrates lives on. 09R30238I GR9/12 RPTE RELEASE '04 3/22/04 11:13 AM Page 18 Page 19 GO ON 31 The reader can tell from the article that the author probably — A thinks Socrates was dangerous B* admires Socrates C has often traveled to Athens D teaches using the Socratic method 09R306812HZ02359-0238I 30 Why was Socrates arrested?

Glass is used in industry, for household goods, and even to make delicate jewelry and artwork. Glass is used so often that our lives would be very different without it. The History of Glassmaking 2 It is likely that people first made glass in Syria or Egypt sometime between 10,000 B.C. and 3000 B.C. By the fourth century B.C., Egypt had become a glassmaking center. At first the Egyptians made only small glass jewels and tiny glass pots. These objects were considered luxuries, and only very wealthy people could afford them. 3 Around 300 B.C. glassblowing was invented. Glassblowing is the art of shaping heated glass by blowing air into it through a tube. This process expanded the possible uses of glass. A greater variety of items could be made in an easier and less expensive fashion. 4 Rome became a center of glassmaking during the first few centuries A.D. This period is often called the Golden Age of Glass. For the first time, glassworkers were able to make clear glass in all kinds of shapes that they decorated with paint or cutout designs. 5 Eventually glassmaking spread to other regions of the world. In 1535 Spanish craftspeople made the first glass in North America at Puebla de Los Angeles in Mexico. What Is Glass? 6 Before humans manufactured glass, nature made its own form of glass. Sometimes when a lightning bolt strikes sand, the heat melts the sand into long pieces of glass. High temperatures from volcanoes sometimes melt sand into glass, too. Early humans used this type of glass, which is called obsidian, for objects such as arrowheads and money. 7 One way glass is made is by combining three simple materials: sand, soda ash, and limestone. These materials are heated by a fuel source, such as wood, coal, or natural gas, to a temperature of 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Some glass, a half-inch thick, will not break even when a major-league pitcher throws a baseball at it. Page 22 GO ON GR9/12 RPTE RELEASE '04 3/22/04 11:13 AM Page 22 Characteristics of Glass 8 People commonly think of glass only as windowpanes or drinking glasses. However, glass can come in a multitude of colors. In fact, glass objects can be found in almost any color. The structure of glass also varies greatly. Glass can be spun finer than a spiderweb or molded into a telescope lens that is as heavy as four elephants. Uses of Glass 9 Ever since glass was first made, the process of glassmaking has been continually improved. Corning Incorporated in New York has developed more than 75,000 different kinds of glass. New kinds of glass are still being invented, along with new uses for them. 10 Today, glass objects are everywhere, from food containers to lightbulbs to windshields to mirrors. It is hard to imagine our lives without glass. What would we do without it? 09R30240I Page 23 GO ON GR9/12 RPTE RELEASE '04 3/22/04 11:13 AM Page 23 Page 24 GO ON 41 What does the drawing indicate?

The school building was in good shape, but behind it was an old basketball court. The court’s blacktop had crumbled and was overgrown with weeds. The fence around the court was battered, and parts of it lay on the ground. The basketball hoops were bent and rusted. 2 One cold day in February, Mr. Garson, a biology teacher, was taking a walk during his lunch break. He passed the old basketball court. “What an ugly sight!” he said, groaning. As he stared at the empty court, he had a vision. He stopped and let the vision take shape in his imagination. In his mind, he pictured something quite different from what he actually saw. 3 Mr. Garson asked the school board for money to turn his vision into a reality. In April he organized a group of community volunteers to tear up the old basketball court and haul it away. Then he persuaded a local farmer to donate truckloads of good topsoil, which several students spread over the lot. A group of parents volunteered to build a new fence around the land. Mr. Garson purchased rakes, hoes, shovels, and trowels. He also purchased seeds and seedlings. In May students planted tomatoes, potatoes, corn, lettuce, onions, and peppers. In one corner they planted herbs, such as basil, oregano, and parsley. In another they planted a dozen kinds of flowers that would bloom through the summer and fall. 4 Two students checked the garden and watered it every day. On Saturdays throughout the summer, groups of students gathered to weed the garden and harvest what was ripe. 5 In September students enjoyed eating fresh produce from the George Washington garden for lunch. Most days there were freshly cut flowers on the cafeteria tables. 6 “What a beautiful sight!” Mr. Garson proclaimed in a speech at the first school assembly. “It proves that we can change things if we work together toward a common goal.” 7 In late fall a local farmer plowed under the garden so that it would be ready for planting again in the spring. 09R30234N GR9/12 RPTE RELEASE '04 3/22/04 11:13 AM Page 27 Page 28 GO ON 50 In this selection, trowels are — F volunteers G sports equipment H vegetables J* garden tools 09R301D06BZ02384-0234N 49 How does Mr. Garson get topsoil for the garden?
