[1] My kid sister Cheryl and I always bragged about our Sioux grandpa, Joe Iron
Shell. Our friends, who had always lived in the city and only knew about Indians
from movies and TV, were impressed by our stories. Maybe we exaggerated and
made Grandpa and the reservation sound glamorous, but when we'd return
home to lowa after our yearly summer visit to Grandpa, we always had some
exciting tale to tell.
[2] We always had some authentic Sioux article to show our listeners. One year
Cheryl had new moccasins that Grandpa had made. On another visit he gave me
a small, round, flat rawhide drum which was decorated with a painting of a
warrior riding a horse. He taught me a real Sioux chant to sing while I beat the
drum with a leather-covered stick that had a feather on the end. Man, that really
made an impression.

Read this excerpt from "How the World Was Made."

[Buzzard] flew all over the earth, low down near the ground, and it was still soft. When he reached the Cherokee country, he was very tired; his wings began to flap and strike the ground. Wherever they struck the earth there was a valley; whenever the wings turned upwards again, there was a mountain.

How does this incident provoke a decision in the story?

The other animals decide to call Buzzard back to Galun'lati, lest the entire world become mountainous.

Water Beetle decides to bring some mud from under the water to fill in some of the valleys Buzzard created.

The Cherokee decide to settle in the mountainous land Buzzard has created.

The other animals decide to put the sun in the sky so they can better admire what Buzzard has done.

Read this section from “Counterpoint: Mandatory Volunteer Work Does More Harm Than Good” from Should Volunteering Be Mandatory for Teens? and answer the follow-up questions.

The most compelling argument against making volunteer work a mandatory part of school curriculum is time. Teens today are just too busy to add another stressor to their lives. Let’s take a look at twenty-four hours in the life of a typical teen. Allocate eight hours per day for sleep, eight hours for school (including getting ready and travel time), three hours for homework, two hours for activities such as sports or a part-time job, two hours for dinner and family time, and one hour for socializing. These activities take up all twenty-four hours leaving scarcely any time for volunteer work. Should students have to sacrifice their one hour of socializing per day, or sacrifice an hour of precious family time? These options just don’t make sense as making more demands on teens’ packed schedules can have serious side effects. Teens who are too busy feel tired, anxious, or depressed. Studies show they often have headaches or stomachaches due to stress, missed meals, or lack of sleep and they may fall behind in school, causing their grades to suffer. These drawbacks clearly outweigh the benefits of volunteering.

What is the author’s point of view concerning teenagers and their time?

A. Teens spend time on frivolous things.

B. Teens need better time management skills.

C. Teens have little free time to spare.

D. Teens should have less stress in their lives.
