eyewitness account is one of the best ways you and the other writers can share
what you have seen in the rest of the world.

HOPI SNAKE CEREMONIES

After several turns around the dance area, a few of the dancers reached into a hole
in the ground, a pit that had a shelter of cottonwood boughs over it. They came up
with serpents in their hands. They gave it to the dancers, who put them in their
mouths and carried them that way, moving in rhythm with the chant.
Many of the snakes were coach whips, bull snakes and other harmless reptiles.
Some were full grown rattlesnakes, their rattle buzzing furiously...for a long time I
kept my eyes on one dancer, a short stocky man with the hair that flew up when he
moved. As long as he made his circle, he faced me for as long as a minute. He came
close and I could plainly see the sun shining on the scales of the snakes he carried.
On one turn he had a rattlesnake in his mouth.

HOPI SNAKE CEREMONIES

Story By: JENNIFER OWINGS
The dancers, all men, filed into the dance plaza of the town. They had shoulder-
length hair as sleek and black as raven wings. Bunches of eagle feathers were tied
into the thick strands. The men were painted black and white, with zigzag lines to
represent lightning. They wore knee-length kilts and woven belts. Each of the
dancers had a tortoise shell rattle tied to his right leg below the thigh. The men
moved in a shuffling circle, their movements were accompanied by a chant, a low,
humming sound that rose and fell like the wind. With this came the rattling of the
tortoise shells, not unlike the noise a rattle snake makes when it shakes the hinged
buttons at the end of its tail. After several turns in the dancing area, a few of the
dancers reached into a hole in the ground, and came up with serpents in their
hands. Many of the snakes were coach whips, bull snakes, and other harmless
reptiles. Some were full grown rattlesnakes, their rattles buzzing furiously….

Use the information in the passages to answer the questions below.
Comprehension: 1
Many experts say that single-sex schools are a good thing, especially for girls. They
point to studies that show that teachers tend to call on boys more and take the work
of girls less seriously. "Too often, girls receive praise for how they look and how they
behave rather than for What they accomplish and What ideas they have," says
Whitney Ransome, executive director of the National Coalition of Girls Schools.
All-girls schools can make girls more confident at crucial times of their lives,
says Ransome---- especially during the middle school and high school years.

Comprehension: 2
Thirteen –year –old Maryam Zohne used to be shy. "I always used to try to sneak
out of giving presentations in school," she says. In sixth grade, she never spoke up in
class. Not anymore. Now in Eighth grade, she is the President of the student's body at
her school. What made the difference? For the past two years, Maryam has gone to an
all-girls’ public school. The Young Women's School of East Harlem, in New York City.
"I feel more open," says Maryam. "The girls here are like sisters Nicole Flores,
who goes to the same school, agrees. “You gain more confidence in this school," she
says. "We have learnt how to speak in a strong, respectful way."

Comprehension: 3

Maryam Zohne agrees. “This school isn’t for all girls,” she says. “It’s for girls who
want the confidence to move on in life. Some girls have the tools they need already.”
Whitney Ransome says that all girls’ schools work because, “When there are all girls in
the classroom, the culture changes. You’re not a second-class citizen because of your
gender. . .. You’re surrounded by people who look like you, think like you, and empower
you.” What Kind of School for You? Students at the Young Women’s Leadership School
think that they are learning plenty about leadership. “I’ve learned to speak up for myself,
voice my opinion, and not to be negative,” says Melique Birks, thirteen.

Chris Dunn, a lawyer for the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) is opposed to the
idea of single sex public schools. The NYCLU fought against the opening of the Young
Women's Schools.
Dunn says that the idea of separate but equal schools is unconstitutional. "If a person
can go to a public school just because he is a boy" that's discrimination. When the
government runs school, it needs to provide an excellent educational environment for
all students. Would the NYCLU still object if the New York City opened a separate all
boys' school with equal facilities? Yes, says Dunn. "If a school district has four hundred
buses and they won't let white students on ten of them, that's still discrimination," he
says.

Read the passage and answer the following questions
The Voice in the Attic
You look up at the ceiling and call out to an imaginary person in the attic. The person
answers you! To the amazement of the audience, you carry on a conversation with this
mysterious person.
You can choose to direct your conversation toward someone up in the attic or toward
someone down in the basement, if you like. The key to this performance is that you
stand with your back to the audience. Your mouth movements can then be less
restricted when you speak in the voice of the distant person.
Now, in exactly the same tone and pitch of voice, make the distant voice answer.
But, this time, form the words at the back part of the roof of your mouth. Draw your
lower jaw back and hold it there. Keep your mouth open. Inhale deeply before you
speak.
Then, as you speak, exhale in little jerks, using a bit of air for each word. This action will
produce a sound that is subdued and muffled, just a little louder than a whisper.

From Questions below shade in the letter Ⓣ if the statement is True or Ⓕ if the statement
is False, for every question.

1. You look up at the ceiling and call out to a real person in the attic. T F
2. Then you stay quiet in front of this mysterious person. T F

Read the passage and answer the following questions

The Voice in the Attic

You can continue your ventriloquially conversation with the voice as the person
seemingly comes down the chimney. At every supposed step closer, alter the place
from which the person’s voice comes. Gradually open the cavity of your mouth and
produce the sound closer to your lips. You will create a larger space inside your mouth
so that the voice will appear to come nearer and nearer by degrees. By the time the

though you were whistling. Here is another example of the conversation:
You: Are you up there on the roof, Frank?
