1. One problem with the modern Olympics is that it has become very big and expensive to operate. The city or country that hosts the games often loses a lot of money.

In 1984, Los Angeles solved these problems by charging a fee for companies who wanted to be official sponsors of the games. Companies, like McDonald's, paid a lot of money to be part of the Olympics. Buildings that were already built in the Los Angeles area were also used.

The French and British infantry crouched behind their fortifications — a letter opener, an ink jar, and a line of fountain pens — knowing they stood no chance against the might of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But a row of Darwinist monsters loomed behind them, ready to devour any who dared retreat. The attack had almost begun when Prince Aleksandar thought he heard someone outside his door...

VEGGIE MONITORS
(1) Justin Maldonado became the least popular member of the student council at Smith Middle School when he introduced the idea of creating a veggie patrol to monitor the alarming amount of vegetables that are thrown away in the school cafeteria each day. (2) The proposed program would operate like the campus’ existing safety patrol. (3) “We all see the value of reminding students not to run in the halls before class, so why can’t we see that there is a need to have someone remind students to eat their vegetables?” Justin asked the council.
Main Idea: The story is about-
a boy who sacrifices his popularity to improve the health conditions at his school.
a student’s unwelcome attempt to change the eating habits at his middle school.
the need to fix the problem of vegetable waste at a public middle school.
