Night-Song in the Jungle

adapted from Mowgli's Brothers in The Kipling Reader Selections
by Rudyard Kipling
It was seven o'clock of a very warm evening in the Seeonee hills when Father Wolf woke
up from his day's rest, scratched himself, yawned, and spread out his paws one after the other
to get rid of the sleepy feeling in their tips. Mother Wolf lay with her big gray nose dropped
across her four tumbling, squealing cubs, and the moon shone into the mouth of the cave
where they all lived. "Augrh!" said Father Wolf, "it is time to hunt again"; and he was going to
spring down hill when a little shadow with a bushy tail crossed the threshold and whined,
"Good luck go with you, O Chief of the Wolves; and good luck and strong white teeth go with
the noble children, that they may never forget the hungry in this world."
Directions: Select all the correct answers.

Unfamiliar Words
Using context clues to figure out the meaning
Learning Target of unfamiliar words and phrases will deepen
your understanding of the texts you read.
Learning Target
Read Informational texts often have words people don’t use in
everyday life.
• Some words usually appear only in texts in one subject area.
For example, you’ll see the word fossil in science texts and
the word geography in social studies texts.
• Other words, called academic words, are useful in many
subject areas. For example, the academic word process often
appears in both science and social studies texts.
As you read, you can use context clues to figure out the meanings
of unfamiliar words and phrases. Clues might be synonyms,
antonyms, examples, or definitions.
Read the passage below. Circle the phrase conceived of, and
underline context clues that help you learn its meaning.

Wheel

Inventing the Crane Axle

Ancient Greek engineers thought of ways to make Lever

new machines from older ones. For example, they

conceived of and built a compound machine called Pulley

the crane. Their idea combined the lever, pulley,

and wheel-and-axle into one machine.

A modern crane is a
compound machine, too.

Fire and Air

by Johanna Joyner

1 Starting a fire is a bit like following a recipe. Getting anything to

combust takes three ingredients: fuel, heat, and oxygen. All three are
needed for burning to begin, but where do these ingredients come
from? Fuel is anything that burns easily, including wood, paper, or grass.
Heat can come from many places, but most people use matches. And
oxygen, of course, is a gas in the air around us.
2 If a fire doesn’t have enough of any one of the three ingredients, it will
be weak. To strengthen the fire, just add one or more of the ingredients.
It is simple to add more fuel or heat, but how do you add more oxygen?
From a safe distance, blow on the fire. You will see it strengthen because
blowing adds oxygen to the fire, making it burn vigorously. Your fire will
grow bigger, brighter, and stronger.
3 To understand the role oxygen plays in keeping a fire burning,
try this experiment:

1 Mountains, lakes, and rivers can get in the way of people traveling
from one place to another. There are structures that help people pass
such obstacles. Bridges and tunnels help people overcome such barriers.
2 Bridges and tunnels are different in design and placement. A bridge
is built over a body of water, a highway, or a railroad track. A tunnel,
in contrast, is a passageway under the ground, under a body of water,
or through a mountain. Bridges vary in shape and are often placed
above ground or water. Some are even famous. The Golden Gate Bridge
is one of the most renowned bridges in the world. This celebrated
structure crosses over the entrance to San Francisco Bay and connects
San Francisco to northern California. The Golden Gate is known for its
length and height. But it is best known for its beauty. People come from
all over the world not just to cross the Golden Gate but simply to look
at it.
3 Of course, not even the world’s most famous tunnel gets many
visitors who just want to look. It’s hard to get a good view of a
subterranean passage. But since the Channel Tunnel
