Read the passage.

People were always telling Jimmy to settle down and keep quiet, especially his teachers. Jimmy emerged as the chief disruptive force in his classes. As soon as he came into view, teachers knew that chaos would follow. If someone made a mistake, Jimmy was the first to notice and point it out. If someone got an answer right, Jimmy would make fun of the student for trying too hard. The joking and insults were a constant interruption and came at frequent intervals.

Trips to the principal’s office and detentions didn’t curb his outbursts. Jimmy’s father even tried to get him to back off by threatening to send him to a military academy. For a while, it seemed, nothing could make Jimmy retreat from his bad behavior. What no one knew was that Jimmy thought he was practicing for a future career as a stand-up comedian.

BRAINLIEST IF RIGHT The U.S. Oil Embargo. In 1931, Japan invaded a country called Manchuria. Six years later, it invaded mainland China. Japan was an ally of Germany and Italy, both under the control of Adolf Hitler. Most countries were worried about this alliance because these nations were attacking their neighbors. The United States was among the nations who shared a concern about these aggressive countries called "the Axis."

Soon after Japan invaded China, World War II started. Japan attacked lands belonging to other countries; many of them were allied with the United States. Though the United States was not at war yet with Japan, President Roosevelt took action because of these attacks. The United States refused to sell Japan steel and oil. This is a situation called an "embargo." Steel is used in the manufacture of weapons of war, and oil is used as fuel for war machines. The United States claimed that it was refusing to sell these resources to Japan because it did not want to help Japan wage war.

Japan decided to attack the U.S. soon after the embargo began. Japan wanted to force the U.S. to surrender quickly. The attack on Pearl Harbor brought the U.S. into World War II, and the Axis countries were defeated four years later.

You’ve seen that the first lines of the poem illustrate that the beginning of the life cycle is precious. It doesn’t last long, so it’s rare. The last four lines of the poem all describe ways in which things pass from the ideal state of their beginning—where they are precious, rare, valuable, and short lived—to a more mature state that is less precious. Describe how each of these lines conveys the message of something precious becoming less precious.

A big Among Us fan created an edible way to celebrate her fandom. She baked butter cookies shaped and frosted like the online game's brightly colored astronaut avatars and gave them to friends. But in each set of seven was one "impostor" laced with hot habanero pepper. The alarming flavor was invisible to the eye and nose but not to the tongue. Players of the space-based whodunit will definitely get, er taste, the joke!

Read the excerpt from the story Be the Best you Can Be:

Just then, there was another loud shout from across the field. This time, however, it was a shout of agony. I looked up and saw Danny. He was lying on the concrete ground in front of the change rooms, clutching his scraped knee. Without thinking twice, I ran to Danny's side to help.

"Are you okay?" I asked, bending down to comfort him. "Here, use my jersey to help clean your knee."

Danny looked up at me in surprise. He wasn't used to people being kind to him. Danny took the shirt as our coach arrived to help. The coach lifted Danny off the ground, steadied him on his feet, and helped him hobble into the change rooms.
