excerpt from “Solitude” by Henry David Thoreau This is a delicious evening, when the whole body is one sense, and imbibes delight through every pore. I go and come with a strange liberty in Nature, a part of herself. As I walk along the stony shore of the pond in my shirt sleeves, though it is cool as well as cloudy and windy, and I see nothing special to attract me, all the elements are unusually congenial to me. The bullfrogs trump to usher in the night, and the note of the whippoorwill is borne on the rippling wind from over the water. Sympathy with the fluttering alder and poplar leaves almost takes away my breath; yet, like the lake, my serenity is rippled but not ruffled. These small waves raised by the evening wind are as remote from storm as the smooth reflecting surface. Though it is now dark, the wind still blows and roars in the wood, the waves still dash, and some creatures lull the rest with their notes. The repose is never complete. The wildest animals do not repose, but seek their prey now; the fox, and skunk, and rabbit, now roam the fields and woods without fear. They are Nature’s watchmen, —links which connect the days of animated life. . . .

Some of my pleasantest hours were during the long rain storms in the spring or fall, which confined me to the house for the afternoon as well as the forenoon, soothed by their ceaseless roar and pelting; when an early twilight ushered in a long evening in which many thoughts had time to take root and unfold themselves. . . . Men frequently say to me, “I should think you would feel lonesome down there, and want to be nearer to folks, rainy and snowy days and nights especially.” I am tempted to reply to such,—This whole earth which we inhabit is but a point in space. How far apart, think you, dwell the two most distant inhabitants of yonder star, the breadth of whose disk cannot be appreciated by our instruments? Why should I feel lonely? Is not our planet in the Milky Way? This which you put seems to me not to be the most important question. What sort of space is that which separates a man from his fellows and makes him solitary? I have found that no exertion of the legs can bring two minds much nearer to one another. Read this excerpt from “Solitude” by Henry David Thoreau. The wildest animals do not repose, but seek their prey now; the fox, and skunk, and rabbit, now roam the fields and woods without fear. They are Nature’s watchmen —links which connect the days of animated life. How does Thoreau distinguish the natural world, perhaps in contrast to the human world?

He describes the organized structure of the forest world.

He characterizes nature by its lack of reservation.

He describes the manner by which the forest sustains life.

He characterizes nature by its constant alertness and activity.

Read the passage. Colony Collapse Disorder In 2006, beekeepers throughout the United States began to notice something new—and troubling. Adult honeybees, known as worker bees, were disappearing from their hives, seemingly abandoning them. Few or no dead bees were found in the hives, while the queen and larvae were alive and well but without the swarm of worker bees that typically attended them to keep them alive. What had happened? The phenomenon became so widespread that it soon received a name, Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) . There was no denying that CCD was a problem; after all, American agriculture depends on the work of honeybees and other pollinators. At least three-quarters of the crops grown in the United States depend on honeybee pollination for their survival. These include such staples as strawberries, blueberries, apples, broccoli, asparagus, and almonds. Without them, both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer. But what is causing this problem? Scientists have rigorously studied a variety of possible causes, ranging from genetically modified crops to climate change to cell phone towers. Sadly, nothing has shown to be the cause of the problem. The most likely culprits are pathogens, or disease-causing organisms. These have been found in larger numbers in colonies affected by CCD than in those unaffected. But these pathogens have included various viruses and bacteria, some found in greater concentrations in different parts of the country. If CCD is caused by a single disease, identifying that disease will be difficult. The CCD epidemic is most likely the result of multiple causes—pathogens, poor nutrition, pesticides, lack of genetic diversity, and habitat loss. Efforts to prevent colony loss have been mildly successful. The number lost has declined each year since 2008. But until a solution to this problem is found, CCD will remain a concern that will threaten not only the future of bees, but also of the people who rely on the food that they help produce. Read this sentence from “Colony Collapse Disorder.” Without them, both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer. How does the writer's use of the word suffer affect the text? It creates a determined tone. It creates a serious tone. It creates a frantic tone. It creates a sinister tone.

On Being a Writer

Want to be an effective writer? If you do, keep in mind that good writers are extremely careful to make every word count. Choosing their words with care, they try to be as _____1____ as possible, never using two words when one will do. They are more likely, for example, to say “now” instead of “at the present time” and “before” rather than “back in the past.”

Skillful writers are also careful about how they handle _____2_____. If they use words like power, bravery, and dedication, they make sure to nail down those words with_____3_____ illustrations. They know that general ideas not anchored in specific details can prove confusing and lead to a communication breakdown between author and reader.

General statements not followed by specific explanations can also make readers suspicious. A writer who claims “our government has lost touch with the people” without offering specific illustrations of or reasons for that claim is likely to be considered overly _____4_____ and perhaps untrustworthy.

In addition to directness and clarity, good writers also pay attention to _____5_____, making sure they don't lull the reader to sleep by using only sentences that begin with subject and verb. They are also attentive to imagery. They try to use original _____6_____ that help readers "see" the intended meaning more clearly. The emphasis here is on the word original: Writers who care about their work also avoid _____7_____. They know they arouse the readers' mistrust if they use tired expressions like "avid reader," "dark and stormy night," and "full of sound and fury."

Writers who care about writing never plagiarize. Even if they offer only a _____8_____ of someone's idea rather than quoting them _____9_____, writers with experience acknowledge their sources. They know that writing is hard and refuse to take credit for words or ideas that are not their own.

Lastly, writers match their tone to their audience and purpose. If they are writing an encyclopedia entry, they are careful to remain somewhat formal and distant from the reader. But if they are writing a movie review for their neighborhood paper, they will readily switch to a more _____10_____ and friendlier tone.
