1. There are two different kinds of miles. The first mile is the one that we use to
measure distance on land. It is equal to 5,280 feet, or 1,760 yards. The other mile
is longer. It equals 6,076.12 feet. We use it to measure distance on water or in the
air. The distance in a land mile has changed. Two thousand years ago, a land mile
measured 5000 feet. That was the distance that Roman soldiers walked in 1000
steps.
2. People have been using weapons for thousands of years. Because they were not as
first or as large as many of the animals that they hunted, men needed something to
give them extra strength. We suppose that the first weapons were rocks that people
threw or dropped. Later they found that they could tie a sharp rock to a piece of
wood and make a much better weapon. After a very long time, men learned to
make weapons like knives and guns out of metal. Man quickly replaced stone
weapons with these metal ones. And today, making weapons of all kinds is a very
big business all over the world.

1. Now there's another type of ballet in addition to classical ballet. It's called modern
ballet. It's full of exciting new ideas about dancing. Both types of ballet usually
tell a story, but it's a story without words. Only music and dance are used to tell
the story.
- 305 -
2. Some parts of ballet are danced by a group of people. Other parts are danced by
just one or two special dancers. They must dance extremely well to be chosen to
perform alone. It's necessary for either type of dancer to be very serious about
his work. Furthermore, it takes many years to train the body well enough to be a
professional dancer. Many football players use ballet exercises regularly to become
more fit. Ballet dancing builds strong bodies.
3. Another type of dancing which borrows from ballet is called modern dance. Usually
this type of dance shows feelings rather than telling a story. Modern dance was
started about 1900 by dancers who wanted to move their bodies freely. They
preferred to move their whole bodies rather than just their arms and legs. Modern
dancers train their bodies to move in new and different ways.

To burn it as a fuel, you need to dry it. Indeed, wood can contain from one hundred
percent to two hundred percent of its own dry weight in water, and this water needs
to the removed, as many a boy scout who's tried to burn green wood on his campfire
has found out. Wou need to dry the wood, and this takes energy.
After you've dried the wood, you still have a material whose energy content is
considerably less than that of coal or petroleum, but it can be burned, and it should be
burned when it accumulates as a residue at lumber mills and papermills where using it
as a fuel would enable them to satisfy, internally, a major portion of their own energy
needs.

Alan took his first flight in a small trainer with a single prop or propeller. he wore his
flight suit and helmet, but he didn't need an oxygen mask. The instructor did almost
all of the flying and landed the airplane on the runway smoothly.
Everythin seemed to go right when the instructor was at the controls.
During the flights that followed, however, Alan discovered that Murphy's Law is true:
If anything can go wrong, it will. When it was his turn to navigate, he got lost. The
plane dived when he tried to make a turn. His landing were so bumpy that sometimes
the airplane bounced back into the air.
It was hard for him to understand what the instruments in the cockpit indicated.
When he tried to move his eyes from gauge to gauge and from needle to needle in
order to cross-check them, he became confused. His goal had been to fly a fighter
armed with guns and missiles, but he begin to wonder if he'd ever become a real jet
jockey.
