The pig war
THE MOST PERFECT WAR IN HISTORY
The year was 1859. America and England had already fought two wars. Now, they were at peace. But one day a pig got hungry. And it nearly caused a 1 war between the two countries.
The pig was owned by a British man who lived on a small island. The island was just of the western part of North America. Both England and the US said the island was theirs. Across the island from the British man lived some American farmers. Everyone on the island got along peacefully. But the peace e 2 the day the British man’s pig decided to eat some of an American farmer’s potatoes.
One of the American farmers shot and killed the pig. Then the pigs owner wanted $100 from the man who shot the animal. That was a lot of money, so the farmer refused to pay it. The British and Americans began to argue, and the s 3 got worse. The farmers asked the governor over the island at that time for help. He sent a group of soldiers to protect the farmers. The British answered by sending 2,000 soldiers. The British were on one side of the island, and the Americans were on the other. The problem that began with the pig was about to t 4 into a shooting war.
When news of the problem reached Washington and London, both leaders were s 5 . Neither country wanted another war. They sent some men to try to fix the problem. After a discussion, it was decided that each country would keep a small group of soldier on the island. They would stay there until the two countries could decide who owned the island. Then the others would have to leave.
Twelve years went by. Neither side wanted to give up the island, but they knew they had to do something. They asked the leader of Germany to help decide. After nearly a year of discussion, a d 6 was made. America would get the island.
Finally, the Pig War was over and only one shot was fired. That was the shot that killed the pig!

For many people, ice cream is the top summer treat. But it was different back in the 1700s. Back then, ice cream was not so p 1 in America. It came to America from France. But it was a treat only for people with lots of money.
Ice Cream Ingredients Were Pricey
To make ice cream you need milk, ice, salt and sugar. In the 1700s, most families could not a 2 these.
First, the family would need a cow. They would need to be able to keep some of the cow’s milk for t 3 . Most families had to sell all of their milk to make money.
Ice had to be cut from a nearby river or creek in the winter. Then it was s 4 in an icehouse so it would not melt. So, to make ice cream, you needed to build an ice house.
Sugar and salt cost a lot of money, too. These were not made in America. They had to be shipped in from the Caribbean islands.
President Washington. Loved This Treat
One man was rich enough to make ice cream, though. His name was George Washington. Washington and his wife, Martha, loved ice cream. The c 5 lived at Mount Vernon and made ice cream. Mount Vernon was a large farm where they lived in Virginia. The land was taken care of by enslaved people. These were people who were forced to work w 6 being paid. On plantations, they grew crops such as coffee and tobacco.
Washingtons Spent Lots On Dessert
Historians know about the Washingtons’ love of ice cream from r 7 showing what they owned. The papers show that the Washingtons had many “ice pots.” These were used to hold ice cream. According to the historians, Washington spent a lot of money to make ice cream. In 1790 he spent 200. That is like spending 5, 000 on ice cream today.

In o 2 , it is a magnetic tape, disk, or drum. Information appears on tapes and disks as magnetic spots. In the smallest computers, the memory, or even the whole CPU, may be on a tiny piece of equipment called a chip (芯片).
The CPU a 3 has an arithmetic (运算) unit. This is another main part which sorts information and computes—add, subtracts, and so on.
An important unit of the CPU is called the “captain” of the computer because it can c 4 the work of the computer. It gets instructions from the memory. Then it tells the memory what information to send to the arithmetic unit. F 5 , it tells the arithmetic unit how to process the information.
Input Equipment
Input means information that is fed into a computer. B 6 a computer can do any work, information and instructions must go into it. Such information and instruction for a computer is called software. The input equipment takes information and instruction from the outside world. Then it puts it into code (代码) for the computer to use. Special keyboards serve as input equipment on most home computers.
Output Equipment
Output means information delivered from a computer according to coded instruction. Information can come out of a computer in many f 7 . It can show up on a display screen, or it can be turned out on paper by a printer.

In 1997, Lottie Williams was walking through a park in Oklahoma, in the US, with her friends. Suddenly something tapped her on the shoulder and fell to the ground. She picked the object up. It was about as h 1 as an empty soda can. Later scientists told her it was a piece of a Delta H rocket that had been used to launch a satellite.
Many countries around the world have sent satellites into space. We need satellites to send and r 2 TV and radio signals, to report the weather and for many other things. But when they become old or they break down or we don’t need them anymore, we just leave them there. They become space junk.
Scientists think there are about 16,000 objects l 3 than 10 centimeters wide flying around the Earth, and tens of millions of smaller objects too. They travel at around 7 kilometers a second. That’s fast! And it’s their speed that makes these pieces of space junk really dangerous. If one small piece of space junk hits something at high speed, it can do a lot of damage. L 4 , there haven’t been many collisions (撞). But in 2009, an old Russian satellite hit and d 5 an American satellite—and that created 2,000 new pieces of space junk!
Pieces of space junk re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere every day. But Lottie Williams is the o 6 person who has been hit. The piece that hit her was light, and the air in the atmosphere had slowed it down. Most space junk burns up and doesn’t reach the Earths s 7 . But in 2011, a metal ball 35 centimeters wide fell to Earth in Namibia, Africa. It made a hole in the ground 30 centimeters deep and over 3 meters wide. Lottie was lucky she wasn’t hit by that!

You move every day. Every time you sit down, walk, ride a bike, or eat your food, you are moving. You e 1 move while you are sitting in a chair. What gets you moving, keeps you moving, and helps you to move the way you want to move?
One force that helps you move is gravity. Gravity pulls you toward Earth. Why? Earth is bigger and h 2 than you are, so you’re pulled by Earth’s gravity. How does that help you? When you take a step, gravity pulls on your foot. That pulling helps you put your foot down. Then, you can move your o 3 foot. Do you like to play baseball? Gravity makes the baseball fall after it is h 4 . Then, as gravity pulls the ball toward the ground, and can catch the ball.
Friction also helps you move. Friction happens when two o 5 rub against each other. How does friction help you move? When you walk, friction keeps your feet from slipping. When you hold a pencil, friction helps keep it in your h 6 . and friction makes the brakes on your bike work. too.
Inertia also helps you. Inertia is a sort of rule: it tells us two things; Things that are in movement will remain in movement until something stops them; and things that are at rest will stay at rest unless something moves them. When you ride your bike, it will keep going until you stop it, and when you sit down to read, you will stay where you are until you are r 7 to move.
Next time you move, think about gravity, friction and inertia. All of them help to get you where you want to go.

In 1997, Lottie Williams was walking through a park in Oklahoma, in the US, with her friends. Suddenly something tapped her on the shoulder and fell to the ground. She picked the object up. It was about as h 1 as an empty soda can. Later scientists told her it was a piece of a Delta H rocket that had been used to launch a satellite.
Many countries around the world have sent satellites into space. We need satellites to send and r 2 TV and radio signals, to report the weather and for many other things. But when they become old or they break down or we don’t need them anymore, we just leave them there. They become space junk.
Scientists think there are about 16,000 objects l 3 than 10 centimeters wide flying around the Earth, and tens of millions of smaller objects too. They travel at around 7 kilometers a second. That’s fast! And it’s their speed that makes these pieces of space junk really dangerous. If one small piece of space junk hits something at high speed, it can do a lot of damage. L 4 , there haven’t been many collisions (撞). But in 2009, an old Russian satellite hit and d 5 an American satellite—and that created 2,000 new pieces of space junk!
Pieces of space junk re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere every day. But Lottie Williams is the o 6 person who has been hit. The piece that hit her was light, and the air in the atmosphere had slowed it down. Most space junk burns up and doesn’t reach the Earths s 7 . But in 2011, a metal ball 35 centimeters wide fell to Earth in Namibia, Africa. It made a hole in the ground 30 centimeters deep and over 3 meters wide. Lottie was lucky she wasn’t hit by that!

You move every day. Every time you sit down, walk, ride a bike, or eat your food, you are moving. You e 1 move while you are sitting in a chair. What gets you moving, keeps you moving, and helps you to move the way you want to move?
One force that helps you move is gravity. Gravity pulls you toward Earth. Why? Earth is bigger and h 2 than you are, so you’re pulled by Earth’s gravity. How does that help you? When you take a step, gravity pulls on your foot. That pulling helps you put your foot down. Then, you can move your o 3 foot. Do you like to play baseball? Gravity makes the baseball fall after it is h 4 . Then, as gravity pulls the ball toward the ground, and can catch the ball.
Friction also helps you move. Friction happens when two o 5 rub against each other. How does friction help you move? When you walk, friction keeps your feet from slipping. When you hold a pencil, friction helps keep it in your h 6 . and friction makes the brakes on your bike work. too.
Inertia also helps you. Inertia is a sort of rule: it tells us two things; Things that are in movement will remain in movement until something stops them; and things that are at rest will stay at rest unless something moves them. When you ride your bike, it will keep going until you stop it, and when you sit down to read, you will stay where you are until you are r 7 to move.
Next time you move, think about gravity, friction and inertia. All of them help to get you where you want to go.
