But on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly!
Out to sea again!' My men were mutinous,
fools, on stores of wine. Sheep after sheep
they butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle,
feasting, – while fugitives went inland, running
to call to arms the main force of Cicones.
This was an army, trained to fight on horseback
or, where the ground required, on foot. They came
with dawn over that terrain like the leaves
and blades of spring. So doom appeared to us,
dark word of Zeus for us, our evil days.
My men stood up and made a fight of it –
backed on the ships, with lances kept in play,
from bright morning through the blaze of noon
holding our beach, although so far outnumbered

–The Odyssey,
Homer

2011, a government commission in Chile approved a $7 billion project. The money was for the construction of five dams across two rivers. Supporters of the dams said that Chile needed them. The dams would help the country grow out of poverty. Opponents, however, pointed out that the dams would have damaged untouched wilderness areas. In 2012, the Supreme Court in Chile blocked the project. The court wanted more research into the dams' impact. Opponents of the dams believe that Chile should develop other forms of energy. The year-round sun of its northern deserts is ideal for producing solar power. Chile could also harness wind power from the gusts along its long Pacific coast.



Opponents want the government to consider _________.

Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue."

Those tests were constructed around items like fill-in-the-blank sentence completion, such as “Even though Tom was ______, Mary thought he was _____.” And the correct answer always seemed to be the most bland combinations of thoughts, for example, “Even though Tom was foolish, Mary thought he was ridiculous.” Well, according to my mother, there were very few limitations as to what Tom could have been and what Mary might have thought of him. So I never did well on tests like that.

beneath her, booted feet spread wide, pulled headphones from a pocket and clamped them over her
ears, then turned on The Sounds of Tranquil Shores. (12) While frosty bits gathered in her hair and on her
shoulders she raised the volume of those ocean sounds. (13) Ree needed often to inject herself with
pleasant sounds, stab those sounds past the constant screeching, squalling hubbub regular life raised
inside her spirit, poke the soothing sounds past that racket and down deep where her jittering soul
paced on a stone slab in a gray room, agitated and endlessly provoked but yearning to hear something
that might bring a moment's rest. (14) The tapes had been given to Mom who already heard too many
puzzling sounds and did not care to confront these, but Ree tried them and felt something unknot. (15)
