You can use trick sentences or rhymes as mnemonic devices to recall information. For
example, you can recall this rhyme: “In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” The rhyming
of “2” and “blue” should help you remember that Columbus arrived in the New World in 1492.
Or you can use the sentence “Every good boy does fine” to remember the notes of the
treble clef in music notation. Simply name the first letter of each word in the “nonsense
sentence” to remember E,G,B,D, and F—in that order.You can also recall information by
using acronyms. An acronym condenses information into an abbreviation expressed as
a set of capital letters. For example, WHO stands for the World Health Organization. To
recall the names of the Great Lakes, you can associate the names of the lakes with the
acronym HOMES to remember Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior.
Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this paragraph?
A. Mnemonic devices are silly sentences while acronyms are abbreviations.
B. You can use mnemonic devices to recall information.
C. Mnemonic devices are usually rhymes while acronyms require definitions.
D. Acronyms are easier to recall than mnemonic devices, but both are useful.
Lucas was a voracious reader, absorbing novels, biographies, and popular science books.
His standardized test scores were all quite high. He also got along fine with other kids
during recess, laughing and playing like a perfectly normal twelve-year-old. But when the
bell rang for class, his facial expression changed. An observer might have been reminded
of a prisoner returning to his cell. In class, Lucas was one of those kids who slouched at
his desk in the back of the room, gazing out a window or trying to find ways to allay his
boredom. To that end, he often drew pictures of spaceships. He also drew pictures of
dragons attacking spaceships. When truly inspired, he drew pictures of alien monsters
attacking dragons, thus allowing his spaceships to escape to distant galaxies. Indeed, the
inside of his desk was a dense clutter of these fanciful sketches. By late afternoon, too
drowsy for dragons, alien monsters, or spaceships, Lucas would gaze hopefully at the
white clock on the wall, willing the second hand to move faster, faster. Of course, it never
moved faster, and, inevitably, he would only become more and more impatient with the
painfully slow movement of the hour hand.
The main idea we can get from this paragraph is that
A. Lucas was obsessed with science fiction.
B. Lucas was irresponsible, but artistic.
C. Lucas was smart and creative, but bored with school.
D. Lucas was poorly adjusted and possibly mentally ill.
The word voracious, found in the first sentence of the paragraph, probably means
that Lucas
A. was a rapid reader. C. read a lot of science fiction.
B. read a lot of books. D. was a rapid but careless reader.
The word allay, as used in the paragraph, is best associated with
A. avoiding. C. despising.
B. preferring. D. detesting.
Resolved Question: Chicagoans, would sharks keep you from swimming in Lake Michigan?
I didn’t know this until recently, but bull sharks (the most dangerous sharks) have been found in Lake Michigan before. And in the 50’s, one took a man’s leg. Obviously this is rare, but bull sharks are becoming really common way up river in lots of places around the world. There are even colonies that inhabit and breed in lakes that have no access to the sea. Plus, they prefer to hunt close to shore, like to live in shallower water, and are extremely aggressive. Just thought it was something interesting…
Resolved Question: Should the Big Ten add another team?
They should get another team to make it 12 teams and then they can have a conference championship. I know a lot of the schools don’t want it because they like having the last 2-3 weeks of the season off and the other teams above them lose and then they back into national championship games (ohio state). Also, it could be one more game to lose.
Iowa State could move to the Big Ten. The Big XII could get BYU, TCU, or Utah from the Mountain West to replace Iowa State.
The divisions could be like this:
East
Ohio State
Michigan
Penn State
Purdue
Indiana
Michigan State
West
Wisconsin
Northwestern
Illinois
Iowa
Iowa State
Minnesota
The division setup that I made keeps all the rivalries. The last week could be all division rivalry games.
East
Michigan State vs. Penn State
Ohio State vs. Michigan
Indiana vs. Purdue
West
Wisconsin vs. Minnesota
Illinois vs. Northwestern
Iowa vs. Iowa State
All the top rivalries stay in the division. Also it makes sense for the East division to be teams east of Lake Michigan and the west division to be teams west of Lake Michigan.
Other rivalries can still be played earlier in the season.
The balance will change from year to year…just like in the other conferences.
Not sure if they would keep the name “Big Ten” or change to something like “Big Eleven”.
