Through literature, we can learn about the world in three main ways. 2. First, we learn about people by reading the experiences of the author. 3. Second, we learn about history when we read stories written in the past. 4. Last, the writing itself can teach us about the language we use. 02 The Renaissance Sample response: 1.

People stopped living for a future life and started living for their present one. 03 Oaks Sample response: 1. For a long time, oaks have been important trees to people. 2. Oaks can grow very old and very large, and their acorns may have been an early human food. 3. Oaks were so important in the past for construction that people made myths about them and even worshipped them. 4. Even nowadays, oak is an important resource for fuel and carpentry. Focus B Guided Practice 01 Geology Suggested answer: This passage describes the different branches of geology. The first of these branches of geology looks at the rocks and land inside the Earth. On the other hand, physical oceanography looks at the oceans and the rocks beneath them. Next, the passage describes historical geology, which may involve the study of fossils, and economic geology, which deals with the search for minerals and fuels. 02 Evaluating Sources Suggested answer: This passage explains how to evaluate different sources of information. First, we should consider if the source is a primary source, which means the writer gives first-hand information, or if the source is a secondary source, which means the writer gives second-hand information. Another point to consider is whether the source is presenting facts or opinions. Finally, we should look at when the source was written, as older sources may have outdated information. 03 Machines Suggested answers: This passage explains three examples of simple machines: levers, pulleys, and wheels and axles. Simple machines like these are useful because they can multiply the force applied to them and they can change the direction of that force. Levers are used to lift and push. Pulleys are used to lift heavy objects. Wheels and axles are used to turn large wheels. Summary 01 Vitamins Sample response: This passage examines some facts and myths about vitamins and health. It first mentions the belief that taking Vitamin C can cure a cold is not true. Next, it states that being careful about taking Vitamin D is a good idea because too much can cause health damage. Finally, the passage warns against the belief that people should take a lot of Vitamin A; in fact, too much Vitamin A can also cause health problems. 02 The Earth Sample response: This passage describes different ways that the age of the Earth has been calculated. It first tells about an older technique that calculated age based on the idea that lower layers of rock are older than higher layers. Another, more accurate, technique mentioned in the passage is measuring the radioactive particles from rocks. By using this second method, scientists have concluded that the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. 03 Silver Work Sample response: This passage discusses the silver works of three different First Nations. It first explains about the Navajo people. They learned how to silver work from Mexicans and later added turquoise to their silver jewelry. Next, it describes how the Zuni people learned silver working from the Navajo. Eventually, turquoise became more important than silver in Zuni pieces. Finally, the passage describes Hopi sil- ver works. They first learned this craft from the Zuni and later formed a silver works guild with soldiers from World War II. 679
