Kites: Birds of Glory

As a rule, raptors, or birds of prey, are among the most admired and adored birds in the world. From the California condor to the snowy owl, few birds compare to the tigers of the air: the great hunters whose beauty and skill have inspired art and literature for centuries. The most glorious feathers of the peacock or the vibrant plumage of a bunting cannot compete with the power of a peregrine falcon or the determination of an osprey. Included in this group of hunters, however, is one bird of prey that is little known but equally impressive. The kites of the world are generally smaller than most raptors, but just as astonishing in skill and grace as any other hunter of the skies.

Most people think of paper or cloth structures flown with string from the ground when the word 'kite' is used. In addition to these popular toys, kite can also refer to a type of raptor. Kites have a small head, a short beak and long narrow wings and tail. Kites can be found all over the world in mostly warm regions. Kites live on a variety of prey—from insects to small rodents or reptiles. Some kites eat only one kind of prey. Kites are generally masterful in the air and represent a group of birds that are among the most acrobatic of fliers.

Two of the most familiar kites in the Southern United States are the swallow-tailed kite and the Mississippi kite. The Mississippi kite is rather plain to look at: a light brown and gray body with a buff or white colored head. But to watch a Mississippi kite fly is to watch a ballet in the air. These raptors eat primarily flying insects, so they do most of their hunting on the wing. As you might imagine, catching flying insects requires a great deal of agility and speed. If you are lucky enough to see one in flight, you will be amazed at the quick turns, graceful moves, and speedy pursuits of this bird. Look for them above large fields, especially during the summer.

The swallow-tailed kite, also common in the South, is more easily identifiable and often seen flying over roads. With black wings and tail, white head and body, and a forked or swallow-like tail, this raptor is just as acrobatic as the Mississippi kite. Swallow-tailed kites like flying over highways in the summer as they can take advantage of the thermals, or columns of warmed air, that rise above the pavement. Once they have climbed to sufficient height, swallow-tails will glide, looking for snakes and reptiles and insects. They also eat small rodents, frogs, and other birds on occasion. Watching a swallow-tail fly is a lot like watching a gymnast perform a floor routine. Rarely flapping its wings, it uses its forked tail to make sharp turns, trace circles in the sky, or simply maintain a heading. Skilled, accomplished, and graceful, this bird is as entertaining as it is beautiful.

Both kites are known to eat while flying, unlike most other birds of prey. This practice conserves energy and allows them to hunt almost continuously. While these kites are not listed as endangered, they are rare and in some states are listed as critical. Loss of habitat is the main reason for the decline. If you are lucky enough to see one, count yourself among the few. These magnificent birds are a sight you won't soon forget.

Based on the text, how are raptors different from other types of birds?

They are brightly colored and vibrant.
They are powerful and skilled hunters.
They are smaller and cuter.
They eat insects and reptiles.

n "Water Flowing from Toilet to Tap May Be Hard to Swallow,” what reasons does Schwartz give to support his claim? Select two options.

"Water recycling is common for uses like irrigation; purple pipes in many California towns deliver water to golf courses, zoos and farms."
"Enticing people to drink recycled water, however, requires getting past what experts call the 'yuck' factor."
"In November, the San Diego City Council voted for a $2.9 billion Pure Water program to provide a third of the city’s daily needs by 2035."
"The processes . . . that clean the water include microfiltration that strains out anything larger than 0.2 microns, removing almost all suspended solids, bacteria and protozoa."
"People tend to judge risk emotionally, he said, and a phrase like 'toilet to tap' can undercut earnest explanations."

Social Media for Students
by K. Fletcher

Today, social media has become an essential part of an individual's life. From reading about current events to discussing a TV show's latest episode with friends, everything is now done on social media. A few years ago, only a handful of social media sites existed, which people hardly used. Now, the Internet is cluttered with social media sites ranging from those that let people share photos and videos to those that allow people to broadcast their thoughts and experiences live.
Today, social networking sites are very popular. This is because a large number of people have accounts on all social media sites, and they are usually online throughout the day. According to a survey conducted by a research center, 94% of teens use cellphones to go online at least once daily in America. Further, this research center concludes that around 56% of these teens go online several times a day. Most teens spend time online browsing through social media sites, reading people's posts or looking at pictures and watching videos.
One of the positive aspects of teens spending more time on social media is that they can be contacted at any time of the day. Modern educators are interested in integrating social media in classroom learning. Students can get in touch with teachers anytime if they are inquisitive about a certain topic or have questions about what they recently learned in the classroom. This also helps teachers know that students are interested and have been paying attention in the classroom. Teachers can create a group on social media and add their students to the group. They can post links and videos for their students and encourage them to share their observations with others. In this way, the entire class can view information with a single click. This can ensure that students are prepared for a class beforehand and that teachers do not have to restate the same information.
Social media can help students contact each other when they need help. Class projects, group assignments, or homework-related inquiries can be easily resolved on social media groups. Social media can also help parents keep track of their child's progress at school. Since classrooms are being modernized by combining technology with traditional resources, social media should be considered as a practical tool to educate students and spread knowledge.

How does the author develop the central idea that social media can benefit both students and teachers?
A.
by emphasizing how students and teachers make use of social media to understand certain topics better
B.
by describing in detail how teachers and students can use social media sites to share ideas and information
C.
by describing in detail the current trend of teachers creating online classrooms on social media
D.
