The Little Turtle

Vachel Lindsay

There was a little turtle.

He lived in a box.

He swam in a puddle.

He climbed on the rocks.

He snapped at a mosquito.

He snapped at a flea.

He snapped at a minnow.

And he snapped at me.

He caught the mosquito.

He caught the flea.

He caught the minnow.

And he didn’t catch me.

What is Poem about?

• It is about climbing rocks

• It is about mosquito

• It is about a boy

• It is about little turtle

As the cost of gas and oil for home heating has gone up, many Americans have switched from these fuels to wood for heating their homes. In 1973, approximatety 200.000 wood burning stoves, intended for heating their homes use, were sold in the United States; by the end of 1981, there were as many as seven million home-owned wood-burning units in the U.S.

In addition to low fuel bills, many people choose these stoves because their initial cost is very low (the price range from $50 kits to $5,000 top-of-the-line models), and because new technology has made wood fires more efficient, cleaner, and, therefore, safer than ever before.

One new technological feature of this type is the catalytic combustor which adds about $100 to $200 to the cost of the stove, but which causes much more complete combustion of the wood, therefore, burns up more of the pollutants left by incomplete combustion and produces more heat.

A second cost-saving innovation is a device which agitates the wood, increasing the amount of oxygen that reaches the center of the wood pile, and leading to more efficient combustion. The real advantage of this device is that it allows the owner to make use of cheap sources of wood such as dirty wood chips (an industrial by-product) that have almost no commercial value, cost as little $20 a ton, and burn efficiently in furnaces without an agitator.

According to the author, which of the following is not a factor in the recent increase in popularity of wood-burning stoves?

• Their greater cleanliness than in the old days

• The high cost of alternative heating fuels

• The wide range of prices

• The relatively cheap cost of their energy source

• The invention of cost-saving innovation

Which of the following statements is an example of an innovation in wood-burning stoves?

• Dirty wood chips

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

• Wood-burning stoves are safer and more efficient than they used to be.

• No factories exist for the purpose of producing dirty wood chips.

• Both catalytic combustor and wood agitators save money in the long run.

• Wood-burning stoves with catalytic combustors cost between $100 and $200.

• A ton dirty wood chips cost about $20.

From the text we may conclude that ...

• many Americans have switched from hydrocarbon-based fuels to wood because the price of the latter has risen

• catalytic combustor increase the amount of pollution caused by wood-burning stoves

• agitators are a cheaper addition to wood-burning stoves than catalytic combustors

• the need for stoves exploded more in 1973 than any period time

• some wood-burning stoves cost one hundred times more than other
