Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable. At friendly meetings, and when the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye; something indeed which never found its way into his talk, but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face, but more often and loudly in the acts of his life. He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages; and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years. But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove.
"I incline to, Cain's heresy*," he used to say. "I let my brother go to the devil in his quaintly 'own way.'" In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men. And to such as these, so long as they came about his chambers, he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour.
No doubt the feat was easy to Mr. Utterson; for he was undemonstrative at the best, and even his friendship seemed to be founded in a similar catholicity of good-nature. It is the mark of a modest man to accept his friendly circle ready-made from the hands of opportunity; and that was the lawyer's way. His friends were those of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest; his affections, like ivy, were the growth of time, they implied no aptness in the object. Hence, no doubt, the bond that united him to Mr. Richard Enfield, his distant kinsman, the well-known man about town. It was a nut to crack for many, what these two could see in each other, or what subject they could find in common. It was reported by those who encountered them in their Sunday walks, that they said nothing, looked singularly dull, and would hail with obvious relief the appearance of a friend. For all that, the two men put the greatest store by these excursions, counted them the chief jewel of each week, and not only set aside occasions of pleasure, but even resisted the calls of business, that they might enjoy them uninterrupted.
*The biblical story of Cain and Abel is a story about two brothers who gave offerings to God. Abel’s offering was accepted by God, but Cain’s was not. Jealous, Cain killed his brother. When God asked Cain where Abel was, Cain said, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” By saying this, Cain implied that what his brother did was his own business. (Genesis 4:1-16)

A Screamingly Good Science Lesson
Elizabeth Kibler

Amusement park rides give us thrills, exhilaration, and delight. If you pay attention, these rides can give you something else—a science lesson. Roller coasters are amazing rides that can twist and veer until you scream; however, these rides can also help to show us how types of energy work.

Think about the first part of a roller coaster ride: A machine slowly pulls the cart higher and higher on a hill on the track. As the cart gets higher, it gains potential energy. Objects gain potential energy by being lifted farther from the ground. Potential energy is stored energy. The higher an object is from the ground, the more potential energy it has.

When the cart reaches the top of the first hill, not only are riders’ stomachs screaming for mercy, but also the cart is at its maximum potential energy. Without warning, the energy-loaded cart begins to descend the first hill. As the cart careens down the hill, it has kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is different from potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. All objects in motion have this energy. The kinetic energy propels that cart down the hill. Eventually, the cart will fight the forces of gravity and travel up another hill. On this uphill journey, the cart again begins to gain potential energy. The cart switched from potential energy, to kinetic energy, and back again. Therefore, a roller coaster ride is just the converting of kinetic energy and potential energy.

After the first collection of potential energy, the cart does not use ropes, pulleys, or an engine. The cart, its wheels, and the laws of science are the only things that keep carts rolling firmly down the track. The air brakes on modern roller coasters bring the cart to a safe and smooth stop. If, however, a roller coaster had no brakes, it would ultimately stop on its own. The friction between the wheels and track and the friction between the cart and the air would eventually make a coaster stop. Think about a super ball. Although it gains potential energy every time it goes up, it eventually stops bouncing. In much the same way, the roller coaster cart would cease to move.

Today, amusement park owners continuously try to outdo each other with bigger and better coasters. They believe that the more screaming their patrons do, the better the ride. Although the new rides of the day are going beyond what many thought was possible, it is all a matter of science. So, the next time you find yourself about to plunge down a gigantic roller coaster hill, try to think about the science of the amazing ride. Or, if you can’t stomach that much thought, just hold on and enjoy the ride.

I was in the National Forest with my camera. The day was crisp, and the leaves were turning gold and red. When I spotted the white-tailed buck, I froze. He wasn't more than 15 yards from where I was standing. The wind must have been right, because he kept on browsing the mossy ground. I lifted my camera very slowly. Carefully, holding my breath, I lifted the camera to my eye. Turning the focus ring, I framed the deer's head. Just as I was ready to press the shutter release, the buck raised his head. He was looking my way with wide eyes. Click. I took the picture. An instant later, the deer bounded away into the forest. He took off, but I had the shot. Today, the framed photo of that buck hangs above our fireplace. What season of the year is implied by the words you read in the passage? A. Fall B. Spring C. Winter D. Summer
