Speech by Barbara Jordan (D-Texas), Member of the House Judiciary Committee. Mr. Chairman: I join in thanking you for giving the junior members of this committee the glorious opportunity of sharing the pain of this inquiry. Mr. Chairman, you are a strong man and it has not been easy, but we have tried as best we can to give you as much assistance as possible. Earlier today, we heard the beginning of the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States, “We, the people.” It is a very eloquent beginning. But when the document was completed on the seventeenth of September, 1787, I was not included in that “We, the people.” I felt somehow for many years that George Washington and Alexander Hamilton just left me out by mistake. But through the process of amendment, interpretation and court decision I have finally been included in “We, the people.” Today, I am an inquisitor; I believe hyperbole would not be fictional and would not overstate the solemnness that I feel right now. My faith in the Constitution is whole, it is complete, it is total. I am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction of the Constitution. …The subject of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men. That is what we are talking about. In other words, the jurisdiction comes from the abuse or violation of some public trust . . . The North Carolina ratification convention: “No one need to be afraid that officers who commit oppression will pass with immunity. . . . Common sense would be revolted if we engaged upon this process for petty reasons. Congress has a lot to do: Appropriations, tax reform, health insurance, campaign finance reform, housing, environmental protection, energy sufficiency, mass transportation. Pettiness cannot be allowed to stand in the face of such overwhelming problems. So today we are not being petty. We are trying to be big, because the task we have before us is a big one. . . . We should now forthwith proceed to answer the the question.

It is reason, and not passion, which must guide our deliberations, guide our debate, and guide our decision.

Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. Select the correct answer.

Protect Your Child from Household Poisons
Many items in your home can be poisonous to a child. Medicines and cleaning products are just a few examples. The main cause of children's deaths from poisoning is vitamin pills with iron. A child can die after swallowing as few as five of these pills.

Dangerous Medicines
Here are some of the medicines to watch out for. Diet pills, stimulants (pills to help you stay awake), decongestants (pills that help clear a stuffy nose) and medicines that treat depression or high blood pressure are all dangerous to children.

Dangerous Household Products
Dangerous household products include art supplies, dishwasher detergent, bleach, ammonia, gasoline, kerosene, paint thinners, antifreeze, windshield washing fluid, aftershave and colognes. Don't store chemicals around the house for long periods of time. If you can't use them, take them to a recycling center.

How to Poison-Proof Your Home
To protect your child, close containers right after you use them. Make sure child-resistant caps are on right. Keep dangerous products in the containers they came in. Don't store these products in cups or soft-drink bottles. Children may think they are okay to eat or drink.

Read the excerpt from Chapter 4 of Wheels of Change.

Annie Londonderry wasn't the only one who pushed the limits of time and distance on her two-wheeler. In the late 1890s, several women took the concept of riding a century—100 miles—to the extreme by peeling off two, three, four, or more centuries in a row. Perhaps the greatest female century rider performed outside the spotlight. Dora Rinehart’s exploits hardly ever were reported beyond the western United States, where the Colorado native earned the title “America’s Greatest Cyclienne.” Rinehart took up the bicycle to regain her strength after suffering scarlet fever. She started with short rides, but quickly built up her endurance. In 1896 alone, she pedaled 17,196 miles, more than any other woman in the United States. That included stretches of 10 days in July and 20 days from October 31 through November 19 when she rode a century every day.

Which statement from the excerpt is subjective?

'It was of no consequence, in
reality, where he was born or
where he came from.'

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 1, excerpt
By Lewis Carroll

Suddenly she came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass; there was nothing on it except a tiny golden key, and Alice's first thought was that it might belong to one of the doors of the hall; but, alas! either the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high: she tried the little golden key in the lock, and to her great delight it fitted!

Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head though the doorway; "and even if my head would go through," thought poor Alice, "it would be of very little use without my shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if I only know how to begin." For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.

How does this scene develop the idea that Alice is not the same size as the world she is in? Use specific information and lines from the text to write your answer.

Lio-Ping's uncle was a member of the ruling class, a scholar. His uncle's unusually long fingernails signified an elite status that meant any
kind of vigorous activity was undignified. Lio-Ping loved sports, and yet he admired his uncle very much. Uncle Liu was
childless and owned a large
amount of land. He hired others to do the labor on the land, giving him time for his scholarly pursuits. Lio-Ping dreamed of becoming a scholar
although his immediate family was poor. He was excited because this year he had a chance to go to school instead of working in the fields with his
family. He knew that a childless man of wealth often adopts a bright relative to succeed him, to inherit his fortune and his place in society as a ruler.
