50 POINTS!!!!!! Read the poem.

The Village Blacksmith
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Under a spreading chestnut-tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.

His hair is crisp, and black, and long,
His face is like the tan;
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
He earns whate’er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.

Week in, week out, from morn till night,
You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hear him swing his heavy sledge,
With measured beat and slow,
Like a sexton ringing the village bell,
When the evening sun is low.

And children coming home from school
Look in at the open door;
They love to see the flaming forge,
And hear the bellows roar,
And catch the burning sparks that fly
Like chaff from a threshing-floor.

He goes on Sunday to the church,
And sits among his boys;
He hears the parson pray and preach,
He hears his daughter’s voice,
Singing in the village choir,
And it makes his heart rejoice.

It sounds to him like her mother’s voice,
Singing in Paradise!
He needs must think of her once more,
How in the grave she lies;
And with his hard, rough hand he wipes
A tear out of his eyes.

Toiling,—rejoicing,—sorrowing,
Onward through life he goes;
Each morning sees some task begin,
Each evening sees it close;
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned a night’s repose.

Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend,
For the lesson thou hast taught!
Thus at the flaming forge of life
Our fortunes must be wrought;
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought.

Which narrative point of view is used in this excerpt from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll? And so it was indeed: she was now only ten inches high, and her face brightened up at the thought that she was now the right size for going through the little door into that lovely garden. First, however, she waited for a few minutes to see if she was going to shrink any further: she felt a little nervous about this; 'for it might end, you know,' said Alice to herself, 'in my going out altogether, like a candle. I wonder what I should be like then?' And she tried to fancy what the flame of a candle is like after the candle is blown out, for she could not remember ever having seen such a thing. After a while, finding that nothing more happened, she decided on going into the garden at once; but, alas for poor Alice! when she got to the door, she found she had forgotten the little golden key, and when she went back to the table for it, she found she could not possibly reach it: she could see it quite plainly through the glass, and she tried her best to climb up one of the legs of the table, but it was too slippery; and when she had tired herself out with trying, the poor little thing sat down and cried.

Read this excerpt from a passage.

Robots have been around longer than many people realize. Archytas, who lived in Greece over 2,300 years ago, is believed to have created the first robot. Archytas built a steam-powered mechanical bird that was able to flap its wings and fly over 200 yards. However, it was not until the late 1700s, with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, that the world saw the large-scale use of more complex machines. Mechanization took another leap during the 1930s, when machines were introduced into many workplaces in order to increase productivity. Instead of hiring workers to perform tasks on an assembly line, factory owners used automated machines that could do the work of several people.

Then, in 1954, George Devol created the Unimate, a robotic arm. The Unimate began working on the assembly line at General Motors in 1961, taking on unpleasant, dangerous, and repetitive tasks. This robotic worker had many advantages over human workers. The Unimate did not require a salary, followed company rules, and never called in sick (although it did require the occasional repair). In addition, the Unimate could work twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Manufacturers that used the Unimate and other industrial robots saw a marked increase in productivity and a decrease in labor costs.
