Hi, I am George Amato, and I'm a molecular biologist. Sometimes the government calls me to help solve mysteries, like this time in 1993. One of their officers told me he had spotted some suspicious packages at Kennedy Airport in New York City. These boxes contained handbags and shoes.

By looking at the pattern on the reptile skins, the officer had a hunch they were made from Yacare caiman, a relative of the crocodile and alligator.

My blood started to boil. "But the Yacare caiman is a protected species," I said into the phone. "Bringing skins of that animal into the U.S. is against the law!"

"Exactly!" said the guy at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "That's why the officer seized the shoes and handbags from the reptile skin importer."

"So, what's the problem?" I asked.

"The importer said it was not a protected caiman," he said.
The importer claimed that it's impossible to tell the difference between caimans just by comparing skin patters. This disagreement went to court. And that's where I came to the rescue.

First, I took samples of the reptile skins to my lab at the American Museum of Natural History. Then, I made lots of copies of the the DNA, so it was easier to study. Next, I used a machine to figure out the DNA's sequence, which looks like a long string of letters. Finally, I compared this skin's sequence with other crocodilian sequences in our DNA computer library. It was a perfect match to the Yacare caiman! Those shoes and handbags were definitely made from a legally protected species.

I gave this report to the judge. Based on the DNA evidence, the judge agreed that the skins were illegal. The skins were taken away and the importer had to pay a fine.

 "The Farmer Who Shared" By Sherya Sharma

# data[].attributes.body
There once was a farmer who had great fields of corn. She grew the best corn in the area. She won first prize at the state fair every year, and everyone flocked to her fields in late summer to enjoy her delicious harvest.

One day, a news reporter went to interview the farmer and ask her about her secrets to success. Days of research before the interview revealed to the reporter that the farmer would always share her best-producing seeds with the neighboring farms.

When it came for the interview, the reporter was loaded with a powerful question. The reporter asked, “Ma’am, why did you share your best seeds with your neighbors, knowing that they are also going to enter their corn into the competition against you. Wouldn't this make it difficult for you to win?”

The farmer looked up and took a deep breath before she replied. The farmer answered, “During the season when the strong wind comes across the fields, pollen from the ripening corn is swirled from field to field. It is very important to understand that if my neighbors grow poor corn, the cross-pollination will ultimately degrade the quality of my own corn. So, If I want to grow great corn, I must help my neighbor grow good corn as well.”

1) Before reading the text, with a partner create a mind map for the word “habit”.
"Atomic Habits” is a book written by James Clear, an American. It is based on personal experience about
changing habits.
2) Let’s read part of an interview with James Clear about his book, “Atomic Habits”.
Interviewer: Why did you decide to write about habits?
James Clear: Habits are among the most important topics to understand in life for different reasons. First, habits
can provide external results. They can help you lose weight, increase your income, be more productive, reduce
stress, and so on.
You get what you repeat. Habits also shape our identity and beliefs. Another reason I decided to write about
habits is because I felt there were many books that discuss how habits work from a scientific or philosophical
level, but there was not yet a book that provided readers with a step-by-step, practical manual for how to
actually change a habit. My hope is that "Atomic Habits" can be that manual.
Interviewer: What exactly is an atomic habit?
James Clear: I chose the phrase “atomic habits” for three reasons.
The first one you might expect. The word “atomic” can mean tiny or small, like an atom. One of the central
features of my philosophy is that habits should be small and easy to do.
The second reason is that the word atomic can also mean “the fundamental unit in a larger system.” Atoms form
molecules, molecules form compounds, etc. In a sense, habits are like the atoms of our lives. They are small
routines—fundamental units—that combine into the overall system of our life.
And finally, atomic can mean “the source of immense energy or power.
(source: https://www.quietrev.com/atomic-habits/)
3) I will look up the words in bold in a dictionary and find their Arabic translations.
4)I will answer the following comprehension questions:
a) According to the author, what kind of book is “Atomic Habits”?
b) According to the author, how are habits similar to atoms? Draw a diagram of how they are similar with
labels.
5) I will prepare an oral presentation with a poster about good and bad habits that I have. I will also include in
my oral presentation a plan on how I can change my bad habits using tiny steps.
6) I will listen to my classmates present their oral presentations and ask 1-2 questions about the presentation

You look through the oven window. It looks like a monster is coming alive. For a moment، it sits there quietly، then ripples move across its surface. It triples in volume. Its color darkens and its surface hardens، creating hills and craters like the surface of the moon. Then the oven timer rings. Your cookies are ready. What happened inside that oven? Don’t let the apron trick you! Bakers are scientists! When you slide the pan into the oven، you are pushing the start button on several chemical reactions that transform one substance، dough، into another، cookies. Here are two of these reactions. When the dough reaches 33.33 Celisus، the butter inside melts، making the dough spread out. Butter is an emulsion، or a mixture of two substances that don’t want to stay together. In this case water and fat، along with dairy solids that help hold them together. As the butter melt, its trapped water is released. As the cookie gets hotter, the water expands into steam. It pushes against the dough from the inside, trying to escape through the cookie walls.

# data[].attributes.body
I will define the words written in bold and write their parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, etc.)
----------From the text, I will understand that emulsion means---------------
I will summarize the process of chemical reaction by writing the steps.

Adam couldn’t wait for September when school would start. It was early August, and he was at the same summer camp he had been going to for the last five years. He wrote to his mom and asked her if she would pick him up early, but he didn’t want his mom to tell his dad. She responded in a letter which said, “I can’t do that. I am always honest with your dad. If you really want to leave, I will talk to him about it. ”Adam was  too worried about disappointing his dad who liked the camp, so he wrote back to his mom that he would stay for the last week and try to make the best of it. He asked his mom if she  would make his favorite meal when he got home. During that last week, Adam was looking so forward to the meal his mom would be making that every time he ate a camp meal he imagined he was eating his mom’s cooking. All of a sudden, the food didn’t taste as bad. Adam decided to be honest with his camp counselors. He told the head horseback counselor that he wasn’t comfortable with the horse he had been assigned. The counselor asked Adam which horse he might feel better riding. Adam was then assigned to Misty for the last week, and he started to like horseback riding. Adam never liked playing baseball because he didn’t like playing 1st base. He told the baseball counselor, and the counselor switched him to play catcher. Adam started to actually like baseball. When Adam’s parents came to pick him up from camp, he said to them in all honesty: “This was the best summer at camp ever.” He then added that he couldn’t wait for next year’s camp, and he might even want to stay for an extra week or two.

There are many women pilots who carved their names in history. Lotfia Alnadi and Amelia Earhart are two prominent examples. Lotfia Alnadi was the first Egyptian and Arab female pilot, while Amelia Earhart was the first American female pilot to fly across the Atlantic ocean solo.
Amelia was born in the U.S. in July 1897, whereas Lotfia was born in Cairo in October 1907. Both became interested in flying as teenagers.
Lotfia Alnadi
Lotfia was determined to attend flying school. When she could not find anyone to help her, she went directly to the director of Egypt Air, Kamal Elwi, asking for guidance and assistance. Although the director agreed to accept her into the school, Lotifa had no way to pay for the flying lessons. Being the strong-minded woman that she was, Lotfia worked as the secretary and telephone operator for the flying school in exchange for her tuition. In September 1933, after only 67 days of studying, Lotifa graduated as the first Arab woman pilot and the first female pilot in Africa.
