HAIKU
Five dead leaves falling
upward onto the branches
of a bare oak tree

THE END OF WINTER
As I approached, I startled a group of sparrows that had been feeding in the grass, and they flew up to the safety of an old oak tree. It was still early enough in the year that the branches of the tree were bare. But the bird songs and the warm sun made me feel certain that winter was ending. As I watched, the sparrows dropped from their high perches and settled again in the grass to hunt for food. Like winter, I was just an interruption.

Which is the best description of the difference in how the poem and the story connect the sparrows to the coming of spring?

A.
The poem connects them to dead leaves; the story connects them to the warmth of the sun.
B.
The poem connects them to dead leaves; the story connects their return to the ground to the return of spring.
C.
The poem connects them to leaves returning to the branches; the story connects them to the warmth of the sun.
D.
The poem connects them to leaves returning to the branches; the story connects their return to the ground to the return of spring.

The Ornithopter

Many people know Leonardo da Vinci today as an artist, and it is true that he was indeed a great painter and sculptor, but he was also an inventor and one of the first individuals in recorded history to draft detailed plans for a flying machine.

In order to make a living, Leonardo often depended upon wealthy individuals who would commission work from him. That means they would hire him and pay him to create specific work they wanted. In 1482, when he was 30 years old, Leonardo heard of an opportunity to work for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. The duke, however, did not want a painter; he wanted a military engineer to help him defend the city against its enemies. This was an excellent opportunity that would pay Leonardo well, but Leonardo was a peaceful man. He considered war to be “a beastly madness.” He preferred to make things of beauty.

Leonardo made the decision that he could tolerate making weapons if the resources the duke could provide would also allow him to create things he loved. He sent a letter to the duke detailing his skills in designing and building weapons. “I will assemble catapults, mangonels, trebuchets and other instruments of wonderful efficiency…I will make an infinite number of items for attack and defense,” he wrote.

Leonardo’s letter convinced the duke of his talents, and he got the job. He set about designing the weapons that the duke desired. But Leonardo was infinitely creative, always thinking of new things, new ideas—he could not be limited to weapons alone. One idea that he had not mentioned in his application was the ornithopter. It was not a weapon of war, and it was not something that the duke had asked for, but Leonardo went ahead and designed it anyway.

Leonardo was fascinated by the idea of flight. The word “ornithopter” comes from two words meaning “bird” and “wings.” And on first inspection, his plans resembled a bird’s wings attached to a human being’s arms. He concluded that a human being’s arms were neither strong enough nor light enough to stay in the air for long. So, his design included sets of foot pedals and levers that were operated with the hands. He created detailed plans and presented them to the duke, uncertain of how the duke would react to a design for which he didn’t ask.

As it turned out, the duke was very impressed with the ornithopter, but it wasn’t Leonardo’s innovation that excited him. He immediately thought of the ways this machine could be used in war. If a spy could fly over the enemy’s camp, imagine what information he could gather! This was not what Leonardo had intended for his beautiful flying machine.

But how Leonardo felt about war turned out not to matter in the end. His ornithopter was never built—along with his designs for tanks, parachutes, diving suits, machine guns, and even robots that he created for the duke. The ideas of Leonardo da Vinci were centuries ahead of the technology needed to make them.

Major cities all over the world are changing color. The tall gray buildings that make up the landscape of urban environments are becoming greener. They aren't getting a fresh coat of paint. Instead, their roofs are being covered in grass and small shrubbery. Many rooftops are beginning to look like nature parks. This change isn't just for fun. It is an attempt to add plants that can clean city air, absorb waste water, and generally add beauty to the city environment.

Green roofs started in Europe and are now gaining a strong foothold in the United States. They are a way to add a little nature to the city environment. People plant vegetable gardens, flowers, and decorative grasses on their rooftops. One green roof in New York City is built on top of a processing and distribution facility. It is the largest green roof in the country. It has survived snow and rain, given employees a beautiful place for a lunch break, and helped clean the city air.

It is more expensive to build a green roof than it is to lay asphalt or shingles. The basic green roof requires a frame and a waterproof membrane. It also requires gravel for drainage. Special material needs to be laid to retain moisture. Of course, soil for planting and a barrier that prevents roots from penetrating the building are also necessary materials for a green roof. Despite the extra cost, the trend is growing.

The city of Chicago now has more green roofs than any other U.S. city. There are 7 million square feet of green roofs planted across the city. Toronto, Canada, is the first city in the western hemisphere to mandate green roofs on all new tall buildings. Green roofs are beneficial to the environment and the cities that build them. A recent study in Toronto suggested that if 75 percent of the flat roofs were greened, the city could save $37 million a year on storm water management and energy bills. If this is true, we may begin to see more and more green added to cities around the world.

Why does the author include the point that there are 7 million square feet of green roofs planted across the city of Chicago?

A. To paint a picture of what the green roofs in Chicago look like.
B. To exaggerate how many green roofs there are in the city.
C. To show that Chicago has not accepted the green roof trend.
D. To prove that Chicago has the most green roofs in the United States.
