A_______________ , we must take a trip back through time. Archaeologists have discovered cave paintings thousands of years old that document the first forms of alphabets. In fact, some of the oldest alphabetic symbols have been found in Central America (2,500 years ago), China (more than 3,000 years ago), and the Middle East (more than 5,000 years ago).

Thousands of characters and symbols were used to represent the words, needs, and lives of early civilizations. Memorizing thousands of unique hieroglyphic symbols was a difficult task, C__________________. Imagine trying to remember a unique symbol for each breed of dog, flower, or tree! As civilizations and communication advanced, people began discovering that it was possible to use combinations of a much smaller set of symbols D_______________. Historians point to the Proto–Sinaitic script as the first alphabetic writing system, E__________________. This set was developed by Semitic-speaking people in the Middle East around 1700 B.C., and was refined and spread to other civilizations by the Phoenicians. This is the foundation of our modern alphabet. We call each of symbol a letter F__________________. By combining these letters, it's possible to represent an unlimited number of words. Many different alphabets have been used around the world throughout history. Often, new alphabets are created by modifying the alphabet of another language.

On that day the young royal couple went for a walk on the freezing grounds of Buckingham palace. They were accompanied by only one maid of honour.

When you ride an escalator, you might not realize that it's probably one of the biggest and most expensive machines A__________________ . Despite their size and cost, though, they're actually fairly simple machines. Escalators are basically just long conveyor belts. They have rotating chains that pull a set of stairs in a constant cycle, B__________________. With this basic circular motion, they are able to move many people a short distance quickly. There were actually many people who thought of the idea over time, C__________________. In 1859 Nathan Ames patented the first “escalator” D________________. However, he never made a working model of his concept. In 1892, Jesse W. Reno patented the “Endless Conveyor or Elevator.” He also produced the first working escalator and installed it along the Old Iron Pier at Coney Island in New York City in 1896. Soon afterward, George A. Wheeler patented his own ideas for an escalator. He never built working models of any of his ideas, but Charles Seeberger bought his patents. Some of Wheeler's ideas were used in Seeberger's prototype escalator E__________________. Seeberger also came up with the name “escalator” in 1900. He put the word together from Latin root words scala, e and tor, which he roughly translated as “means of traversing from.” F__________________, Seeberger did not simply name the escalator to be similar to the word elevator. 1. although it sounds like elevator 2. which you use regularly 3. that was built by the Otis Elevator Company in 1899 4. which is the world's longest outdoor escalator system with a total length of 2,600 feet 5. but many of them never acted upon it 6. creating a moving staircase 7. when he came up with the idea for “revolving stairs”

You're relaxing in a hammock under the shade of a huge palm tree. The temperature is over 100° F, A__________________ . Now what would be the exact opposite of that mental picture? Perhaps freezing under a dozen blankets while the wind howls mercilessly outside your igloo in the middle of an ocean of ice and snow? The Earth is a large planet. Some areas experience extreme temperatures. If you want to go to the coldest place on Earth, just head south … all the way south! The continent of Antarctica can boast B_______________. Located almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, Antarctica is Earth's southernmost continent. It contains the South Pole C_________________. Approximately 98% of Antarctica is covered in ice D______________. Because it averages only about eight inches of precipitation each year, Antarctica is considered a desert. The cold temperatures and overall climate of Antarctica make it a difficult place to live. In fact, there are no permanent human residents of Antarctica. Throughout any given year, though, there are usually somewhere between 1,000–5,000 people living on Antarctica at research stations E__________________. So how cold does it get in Antarctica? Very cold! The coldest temperature on Earth ever recorded was –128.6° F at the Russian Vostok Station in Antarctica on July 21, 1983. Despite these low temperatures, a big health issue year-round in Antarctica is sunburn. It's true!

When you ride an escalator, you might not realize that it's probably one of the biggest and most expensive machines A__________________ . Despite their size and cost, though, they're actually fairly simple machines. Escalators are basically just long conveyor belts. They have rotating chains that pull a set of stairs in a constant cycle, B__________________. With this basic circular motion, they are able to move many people a short distance quickly. There were actually many people who thought of the idea over time, C__________________. In 1859 Nathan Ames patented the first “escalator” D________________. However, he never made a working model of his concept. In 1892, Jesse W. Reno patented the “Endless Conveyor or Elevator.” He also produced the first working escalator and installed it along the Old Iron Pier at Coney Island in New York City in 1896. Soon afterward, George A. Wheeler patented his own ideas for an escalator. He never built working models of any of his ideas, but Charles Seeberger bought his patents. Some of Wheeler's ideas were used in Seeberger's prototype escalator E__________________. Seeberger also came up with the name “escalator” in 1900. He put the word together from Latin root words scala, e and tor, which he roughly translated as “means of traversing from.” F__________________, Seeberger did not simply name the escalator to be similar to the word elevator. 1. although it sounds like elevator 2. which you use regularly 3. that was built by the Otis Elevator Company in 1899 4. which is the world's longest outdoor escalator system with a total length of 2,600 feet 5. but many of them never acted upon it 6. creating a moving staircase 7. when he came up with the idea for “revolving stairs”
