A Horse Named Lightning
The next thing the boy knew, he was hurtling through the air like a white-hot missile, landing in the dirt with
an explosive thud.
“I told you, son, no one can ride that wild horse,” said the grizzly-bearded old man with a gap-toothed grin.
“He’s untamable. That’s why they call him Lightning.” The old stable foreman spit on the ground and shuffled away
chuckling. Kurt picked himself up and brushed the dirt off his jeans. His only injury was his pride. Then the
twelve-year-old watched as the mahogany-colored stallion pranced defiantly around the corral, its saddle crooked,
and its reins dragging on the ground. Kurt looked at the horse and thought, “I’ll ride you yet, Lightning.”
Kurt was spending the summer on his uncle’s horse ranch in western Iowa. His parents had thought a few
months of open skies and endless horizons would be good for the rebellious boy. Kurt had few friends at school and
there had been some inappropriate incidents that had landed him in the office of the counselor, who said the boy just
needed to build self-confidence. Now, here he was, isolated in the middle of this dismal place, with nothing for miles
but hay fields, hills, and a distant apple orchard.
Kurt’s uncle Bob intended to sell Lightning to the first buyer foolish enough to purchase the unrideable horse.
To Kurt, that sounded like a challenge, and he was never one to back down from a fight.
Kurt spent the next week helping Mr. Stedman groom the horses by brushing them down and combing their
tails and manes each day. He was also responsible for raking out the stables and supplying the horses with plenty of
hay, oats, and water. Most of the two dozen horses accepted their daily grooming with a privileged indifference, like
movie stars fending off irritating autograph hounds. But Lightning was different. He stood calmly while being
groomed, occasionally snorting and gently stomping a hoof on the sawdust floor of the stable. He even accepted a
saddle and bridle with a dignified resignation. However, this was a charade – a trap set for the uninitiated. As soon as
he was mounted, Lightning would begin to buck and bray until the rider was dispatched to the ground.
2
Henry6LA7 (H6LAALL)
Over the following month, Kurt tried several times to mount the wild stallion. He would put a foot cautiously
in the stirrup, hold the reins gently, and then reach up to the saddle horn, bounding upwards onto the saddle.
Immediately, he would find himself astride an earthquake that heaved and thrust as he hung on courageously.
“I told you, son,” the old foreman would invariably chortle, as Kurt lay crumpled on the soft earth of the
corral, “he can’t be ridden. You’re just wasting your time.” This only made Kurt more determined.
It was early afternoon in late July when Kurt tried yet again to mount the defiant horse, as Mr. Stedman
watched with obvious amusement.
“Okay, buddy,” said Kurt, warily approaching the stallion, “let’s try this one more time.” Kurt slowly put a
foot in the stirrup and slung himself up and over the saddle. Suddenly, Lightning erupted into a fit of kicks, rearing
back violently and snorting angrily. “Steady, Lightning!’’ Kurt shouted as he gripped the saddle horn and pulled back
on the reins. Suddenly, the massive beast charged toward the fence where Mr. Stedman stood. “No, Lightning!” Kurt
shouted as the foreman threw himself on the ground just as the horse bounded over the railing.
Lightning galloped feverishly through the pasture toward a distant grove of trees. Kurt leaned forward and
wrapped an arm around the stallion’s heaving neck, holding on with every ounce of strength. Then it hit Kurt: The
horse was racing straight for the trees. Kurt had heard that wild horses sometimes knocked unwanted riders off their
backs by running under low tree branches. “Whoa, Lightning!” Kurt bellowed as he heaved back the reins. But the
horse kept galloping. Kurt knew that leaping from a runaway horse was dangerous, but he wondered whether injury
might be preferable to the fate that awaited him.
Kurt shouted and leaned in low against the horse as it barreled toward the trees. Suddenly, just moments
before impact, Lightning halted, hurling the boy forward in the saddle. Realizing he was unhurt, Kurt cautiously
raised himself up and saw that Lightning was peacefully eating an apple from a low-hanging branch. Kurt shook his
head and laughed with a shudder of relief. “That’s what you wanted! Apples!” He heard Mr. Stedman shouting as he
ran frantically through the grass, hobbling as fast as his exhausted legs would carry him. Kurt waved to the foreman
to signal he was unharmed.
During the weeks that followed, Kurt began to pick apples to entice and reward Lightning. Soon the horse
3
Henry6LA7 (H6LAALL)
began following the boy around the stable yard like a two-ton dog. Kurt would hold out an apple, cautiously mount
the horse, then lean forward and feed the horse the crisp red fruit. Kurt would sometimes set an apple at the far end of
the corral, saddle up, and then guide the horse to the waiting treat. All the while, Mr. Stedman watched the boy train
Lightning with growing admiration.
By summer’s end, Kurt and Lightning were circling the corral like a one-horse parade. On Kurt’s last day at
the ranch, Mr. Stedman patted the boy on the back and said, “A horse knows if you’re afraid, son. And you weren’t.
You’ve done real good.” Kurt’s uncle promised not to sell Lightning. Instead, he invited Kurt to come back to the
ranch the following summer to work with Lightning and train new horses.
The day Kurt left, he visited Lightning one last time. He stroked the horse’s velvety muzzle. Lightning
snorted quietly and gently pawed the ground. “I’ll be back next summer, boy. Meantime, here’s something to
remember me by.” Kurt held out a gleaming red orb, which Lightning gobbled down quickly, nuzzling Kurt’s hand
gently.

A. If Kurt hadn’t been careful, his foot might have gotten caught in the stirrup.

How the Collecting Bug Bites
The first thing I ever collected was a set of old Mark Twain books that cost an astounding 50 cents each at an antique
store near my home. I was only 8 or 9 years old. I had absolutely no idea that Mark Twain was, you know, Mark
Twain . I just thought he was a funny-looking character and that the books were interesting to hold with their red
fabric binding and musty smell. Eventually, I moved on to collecting classic books by other authors. I decided that if
one was good, three or four or ten or thirty was even better. It was the start of my first collection, but definitely not
my last.
People often collect such items as books, stamps, coins, cars, dolls, comic books, and baseball cards. Sometimes it
seems like people collect everything but dryer lint, but I imagine if you look hard enough, you can find someone with
a collection of that too. Many collectors started collecting when they were young like me.
The great thing about starting a collection when you are young is that you have an entire lifetime to build your
collection. You can start collecting items that are inexpensive today, but years from now may become quite valuable.
Being a collector also makes it easy on friends and relatives who want to know what to buy you for a gift. (Don’t
make it too easy, though. My sister bought a clown or two and before she knew it – or wanted it – her room
resembled a circus tent. She had to ask people to stop giving her clowns.)
Below are a few tips to keep in mind if you are planning to start a collection:
• Collect what you like. If you think an item might become valuable someday, great, but only collect an item if
you like it. I have collected more than 300 snow globes from every corner of the world and from most of the
airports and tourist locations in the United States. I purchased some on trips I took and received others from
friends who often traveled. Are the snow globes worth anything? No. Do I care? Not a bit.
• Pay attention to condition. If you decide to collect toys, be sure not to play with them too much or they may
not be worth collecting. If you collect old Star Wars action figures that you dragged through the sandbox
when you were six because it was fun, then do not expect them to be of value. On the other hand, some items
you may decide to collect may be virtually indestructible. For example, I have a menagerie of the ugliest
animal-shaped ceramic planters you can imagine. I once dropped one. It dented the floor but the planter did
not crack. What can I say--some items survive better than others.
• Learn about what you are collecting. Find out everything you can from people who know other people who
collect the same items. Identify the experts in town and around the country and contact them. You are a kid,
6
Henry6LA7 (H6LAALL)
and grown-ups love it when kids share their interests. You may be able to get the world’s foremost expert on
marbles or bubblegum cards to give you a tutorial just because you asked. How cool is that?
• Collect something that is already old. Visit flea markets, antiques stores, and yard sales to find items you like
that already have value. Old stuff is interesting and doesn’t have to be expensive if you shop smart. By the
time you are an adult, it will be older and, possibly, more valuable.
• Work out an agreement with your parents. Everyone my age knows someone whose mother threw out his
comic book collection. Some of these long-lost collections would have been worth millions of dollars, but
they are now in a landfill somewhere instead. How sad! If you want to start a collection, make sure your
parents are supportive of your endeavor and, if you are collecting something ugly, smelly or large, make sure
that other people are not inconvenienced by your collection.
• Be curious about other people’s collections. What kinds of things do your parents or grandparents collect?
Ask them about their collections, find out why they started collecting, and ask about the history behind the
items. They will love telling you stories about them, I promise.
People often talk about being “bitten by the collecting bug.” It is a way of saying that they started their collection
with one item and now they have dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of what they collect. You don’t have to go
overboard, but do have a great time building your collection.
8. Explain how the author was “bitten” by the collecting bug. Use details from the article to support your explanation.

Keeping Your Cool
Have you ever spent a hot afternoon playing ball with your friends or running around the park with your dog? You
were probably sweaty and thirsty enough to guzzle an entire gallon of water when you finished playing. That thirst
was a sign of dehydration . Dehydration means that your body is losing more fluids than it takes in, and that’s not
good! Don’t depend on your thirst to tell you whether or not your body needs a refill. Make sure you drink water a
few hours before gearing up for physical activities, and keep drinking after you’re done. Be smart and stay hydrated!
Steamy Situation
When your body temperature gets hotter than normal, your brain sends out a distress signal that causes you to sweat,
which cools you down. Think of your body as an air conditioner. It has a thermostat inside that helps control its
temperature. Whenever your body heats up from physical activity or the hot weather outside, your internal air
conditioner turns on and you begin to sweat. And if your cooling system is using your sweat, it is important to refill
the tank by drinking lots of H2O.
All Systems Go
Ever wonder what really happens inside your body to make you sweat? When your temperature rises, tiny blood
vessels close to your skin open up. This allows your blood to carry the heat in your body away from your
hard-working muscles to get closer to the skin. Then, water (sweat) escapes through your sweat glands and onto your
skin. When air blows over your wet skin, the sweat evaporates and cools your body down. But, on really hot, humid
days, there is so much moisture in the air that it can’t absorb the sweat from your body. So, to keep your body cool,
drink plenty of water, use a fan, or take a dip in the pool.
H2O — Guzzle, Gulp, and Chug
Drinking water before, during, and after physical activity is one way to keep your body’s air conditioner working.
Keep these tips in mind to help your body stay cool:
• Drink about two cups of cold water a few hours before you hit the court, the field, or your own backyard.
• Keep a water bottle handy to guzzle during water breaks, halftime, or time-outs. Try to drink about 10
ounces. That’s about 10 large gulps from your water bottle every 15-20 minutes.
10
Henry6LA7 (H6LAALL)
Did you know that sometimes you can’t even see sweat — like when you’re swimming? This means you may not
realize you are getting dehydrated. This is another reason to keep your water bottle in plain sight so you’ll remember
to drink up!
• Even after the game ends, the chugging shouldn’t. The more you sweat the more water you need. Drink
bottled water, water flavored with lemon or lime juice, or water right from your own sink.
• Eating fruit and other cool snacks is another way to keep your body cool! Pack peaches, oranges,
watermelon, and grapes in your cooler. They taste great and rehydrate!
Don’t Sweat It
When the temperature outside begins to soar, your body heats up faster. To stay cool and beat the heat:
• Play outside during cooler parts of the day like early morning or early evening. The day is usually hottest
between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., so find a shady bike path to ride or skate on, plan some indoor activities,
take a dip in the pool, or play games under the sprinkler.
• If you do choose to go out in the heat, make sure to let your body gradually adjust. Cut back on how long you
are active for the first two weeks until you get used to the heat.
• Dress cool. Wear cotton clothing that is loose fitting and lightly colored. Stay away from dark-colored
clothing like black and dark blue because they soak up sunlight and heat.
Did you know that almost one-fourth of all of your body’s sweat glands are in your feet? To keep your feet cool and
blister-free, try wearing shoes that allow your feet to breathe and that don’t trap sweat and heat.
• Stay away from drinks that have caffeine, lots of sugar, or carbonation in them such as soda or tea.
• If you’re playing center field, practicing your backhand, or ruling the playground for more than 60 minutes,
get an extra energy boost from sports drinks. They help to replace the water you’ve lost during strenuous
activity.
• Sports drinks are great when you’re active, but not if you’re just relaxing. They have high levels of sugar,
salt, and potassium that you don’t really need unless you are working your body hard.
Most importantly, listen to your body. If you feel weak, dizzy, or thirsty, take a break in the shade, grab your water
bottle, and tell a grown-up.
Now that you know how to beat the heat, get out there, stay active, and keep cool!

Rebecca Latimer Felton: A Champion for Women
One of the most famous women in Georgia’s history was Rebecca Latimer Felton, who is best known as the first
woman to serve in the United States Senate. She was also a political activist, writer, and lecturer.
Rebecca Ann Latimer was born in 1835 and raised in Georgia’s DeKalb County. She was an excellent student and
graduated at the top of her class from Madison Female College in 1852. At her graduation, Latimer met William
Felton, who gave the graduation speech that day.
One year later, Rebecca Latimer married Felton and the two settled at his farm north of Cartersville in Bartow
County. From the start of their life as a married couple, she assisted her husband with his political career.
When William Felton ran for the 7th Congressional District in Georgia, his wife was his campaign manager. Her hard
work helped him to win several important elections. William Felton served three terms in the U.S. Congress from
1875 to 1881. After these terms ended, he ran for the state legislature and won. He served office from 1884 to 1890.
As William Felton’s campaign manager, Rebecca accomplished more than people gave her credit during her lifetime.
Her help included editing her husband’s speeches and writing newspaper articles in favor of his elections. She also
helped to write some of the bills he introduced while serving in the Georgia State Legislature.
Over the years, her skill as a writer served her well. When her husband died in 1909, she wrote a book about her
experiences working as an assistant to her husband. She also wrote letters and editorials supporting causes such as
education for women and women’s right to vote.
15
Henry6LA7 (H6LAALL)
Felton was also a member of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. As a member she lobbied for child labor
laws in Georgia. Due to her many activities, Felton became one of the most well-known and outspoken women in the
South. She even became a more powerful figure than her husband had ever been.
Felton also used her writing talents to work as a journalist with the Atlanta Journal newspaper. In a regular column
titled “The Country Home,” Felton gave advice to readers about topics ranging from homeownership to lifestyle. She
continued writing the column for more than 20 years and had thousands of loyal readers.
Of her many accomplishments, Felton is best known for being the first woman to serve in the US Senate. She was
appointed in October 1922, while the Senate was in recess, to serve as a replacement for Senator Thomas Watson,
who died unexpectedly. That November, Walter F. George was elected to the Senate seat. When it came time to
swear him in, Felton was allowed to serve 24 hours, while the Senate was in session, as an honorary senator to
recognize her service. Her brief experience later opened doors for women to be considered for public office.
In many ways, Rebecca Latimer Felton was a forward-thinking woman and an example of what a woman could
accomplish. Yet, like many women in the South, she was also defined by traditional values. However, unlike most
women, Felton often went against tradition by speaking out on behalf of women.
Felton died in 1930 at the age of ninety-five. Her accomplishments are worth recognizing because she has long been
considered a woman of great achievement and a great champion of women. For her efforts, she was named as one of
Georgia’s Women of Achievement in 1997.
20. The author refers to Rebecca Latimer Felton as a “ Champion for Women.” What is the meaning of champion as
used in the title?
A. A person who remains silent about a cause.
B. A person who speaks out in favor of a cause.
C. A person who is defined by traditional values.
D. A person who is an excellent academic student.
21. The article includes both fact and opinion about what Rebecca Latimer Felton accomplished in her lifetime. One
