Reading Comprehension

Read the following story and see if you can find the theme.

Little Kitten

Simon was a gregarious little kitten. As he has grown older, his mood and playfulness has not gotten much less intense. He still loves to play and will chase the little whiffle balls all over the house. Sometimes he will signal his wanting to play by picking up one of the balls and carrying it to a member of the household. He is a loving and gentle cat and loves to snuggle up to people sometimes. His loneliness when people are not there is sometime apparent when you first walk into the room after you have been absent for a while. In some sense, despite his growing older, he is still the same little kitten we brought home the day we first acquired him.

Themes

The closet apparent theme to this story would be:

1. Our playful dog.
2. Leaving the house.
3. Returning to the house.
4. Our playful cat.

Social Studies

The Rise of Modern Economics (Part II)

Machines quickly transformed first the cotton industry and then industries based on coal and iron. Raw materials fed factories, thus growing the demand for more raw materials. Labor became highly systematized, with workers working in shifts to keep machines producing at a steady rate. Conditions in factories were harsh. Workers had few rights or protections and could be fined or even beaten for poor performance or bad behavior.

With the expansion of the industrial economy, more efficient means of moving resources and goods were needed. In 1804 the first steam locomotive was invented. Within a hundred years, vast railway systems were being developed across Europe and America. The building of the railroads created new jobs. Lower transportation costs led to more affordable goods, thus creating larger markets and more demand. The new industrial economy became self-feeding, ensuring steady growth and greater wealth than had ever been known before.

Society was forever transformed as a result of the Industrial Revolution. Cities grew as never before. In 1800, for example, London’s population was about one million. By 1850 that number had more than doubled. A better fed population meant the decline of famine and disease and an increase in life span, which only added to the population boom. Soon reform movements sprang into existence calling for greater political participation and better sanitation.
