wanted to very much. One day when she was playing under a tree she

7 Once a black raven wanted to have white feathers like a swan. The raven

8 Birds' eggs are almost as different from each other as are the birds
themselves. The robin lays four or five blue eggs. The dove lays two
white eggs. The sparrow lays six or eight speckled eggs. If we should
find a nest with four blue eggs in it, we could be pretty sure that it
was the nest of a............. rather than of a............. or dove.
9 Once there lived on a mountain near a village an immense giant whose
cruelty kept the people of the village in great terror. However, there

Once when the............. came down from the............. the

11 When the bear appeared near the hut, Walter was alone. His father had

14 Richard and Miss Cabot quickly found their way alone to the house of
Mr. Smith on Craven Street. Miss Cabot left Richard in the carriage,

her to come in. As soon as she had done so. Miss Cabot introduced
herself to Mr.............. and begged him to come out and talk with
............., who was waiting outside in the carriage.
15 Joe made up a game which he called "Jac-alack." One person called Jack
must climb a tree and hang by his arms from a low bough. The others
stand behind him and say in unison, "Alas, alack, he fell on his back,"
and while they are saying it, one of them hits Jack with a bean bag. If
Jack can see or guess who did it, he may drop down, and the guilty
person takes his place. Otherwise he has to............. there for
another turn and sing out, "Alas, alack, another whack." It is quite a
game and Jack must have strong..............

21 If I were writing about the rich, I should be inclined to divide them,
according to their attitude toward life, into workers and parasites.
The motto of the worker is, "I owe the world a life," and the motto of
the.................. is, "The.................. owes me a living."
22 Caution, when not present in excess, is a desirable trait. Often it
saves one from disappointment or failure. Occasionally, however, one
finds a person so extremely.................. that his will is
paralyzed and he is totally unable to set about any new undertaking.
Too much.................. is indeed often.................. than too
little.
23 A whale is not a fish, even though it does live in water. A fish has no
lungs, is cold-blooded, and absorbs oxygen from the water through its
gills; but a whale is warm-blooded and has a genuine set of lungs. In
consequence, in bodily structure the is.................. like a
shark, which is a true fish, than it is like a horse.
24 The brook on our farm has many whims. It ripples over bright and shiny
rocks, and falls into a placid little pool so clear that I can see the
pebbles on the bottom and can see myself down there, too. As I look
straight down, it is hard to tell whether what I see is my nose or a

25 To pant for recognition, to yearn to impress one's personality upon
one's fellow-men, is the essence of ambition. The ambitious person may
think that he merely thirsts to "do something" or "be somebody" but
really what he craves is to figure potently in the minds of others, to
be greatly loved, admired, or feared. To reap a success which no one
.................. does not satisfy the yearnings of the
.................. individual.
26 Washington was a very silent man. Of no man in the world's history do
we have so few sayings of a personal kind. As for talking about
himself, that was something in which he almost never indulged. Yet it
would be a great error to interpret his.................. as an
indication that he was in any sense cold or unfeeling.
27 As a rule, it is more economical to remember things by associating them
clearly and vigorously than by going through many repetitions of them.
Thus, a clear understanding of the causes for the Democratic victory in
the national election in 1916 will be.................. effective in
remembering the fact than a dozen.................. of the statement
"Woodrow Wilson was elected in 1916."
28 Fundamentally, education depends upon the capacity of a person to
profit by past experiences. Past situations modify present and future
adjustments. Education in its broadest sense means acquiring
experiences that serve to.................. existing inherited or
acquired tendencies of behavior.
29 "Naïve" and "unsophisticated" are frequently confused. The former
suggests a type of behavior which is artless, spontaneous, and free
from the restraints of custom. The latter implies fully as great lack
of knowledge of social usage, and, in addition, conduct which is
primitive and perchance inelegant. Thus, the.................. youth
was the first to enter the car, and his.................. little
sister warmly kissed him in the presence of the king. We may also say
that a country boy is.................. with respect to city life and
customs.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit http://pglaf.org
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
http://www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
