Over the past decade researchers and dieticians have poured over information over how what we eat can be affecting our overall health. Many commonalities arise, but one overshadows them all. Clearly, eating nutrient rich foods from the produce section is an essential part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and can hold promising benefits for humans.
Fruits and vegetables contain invaluable vitamins and nutrients that will fuel the body at the cellular level. These foods also contain water and fiber, which provide additional benefits. Foods like lettuce, carrots, strawberries, beans, and broccoli can help improve skin, muscle, and digestive health. Studies also link fruits and vegetables to decreases in potential heart disease and cancers.
Of course, these benefits come at a price. Freshly grown produce is more expensive to bring to the shelves than many ready-made snacks and meals. It also has a much shorter shelf life and therefore must be consumed quickly making it an unattractive choice for people who have little time to plan out their meals. Unfortunately, these downfalls often cause people to pass up the produce in favor of less healthy alternatives.
Even so, it is recommended that people attempt to get produce on their plates at least once per meal. Whether it is as simple as a handful of berries on cereal, a side salad with pizza, or lettuce and tomato on a burger, produce can bring an otherwise subpar plate a much-needed jolt of nutrition.
Clearly, eating nutrient rich foods from the produce section is an essential part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and can hold promising benefits for humans.

Read the excerpt from Animal Farm.

Apart from the disputes over the windmill, there was the question of the defense of the farm. It was fully realized that though the human beings had been defeated in the Battle of the Cowshed they might make another and more determined attempt to recapture the farm and reinstate Mr. Jones. They had all the more reason for doing so because the news of their defeat had spread across the countryside and made the animals on the neighbouring farms more restive than ever. As usual, Snowball and Napoleon were in disagreement. According to Napoleon, what the animals must do was to procure firearms and train themselves in the use of them. According to Snowball, they must send out more and more pigeons and stir up rebellion among the animals on the other farms. The one argued that if they could not defend themselves they were bound to be conquered, the other argued that if rebellions happened everywhere they would have no need to defend themselves.

What is the main conflict in this excerpt?

A) Snowball wants to build the windmill, but Napoleon thinks that other matters are more important.
B) Napoleon believes that the farm does not need to be defended if others rebel, but Snowball disagrees.
C) Snowball thinks that other farms are a threat, but Napoleon is more worried about Mr. Jones.
D) Napoleon wants the animals to protect themselves, but Snowball wants to encourage revolts elsewhere.

Read the passage. excerpt from Tess of the d’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy Thomas Hardy's Victorian novel follows Tess, a pure, rural girl, whose path crosses with the d'Urbervilles, an old and wealthy English family. In this scene, Tess and her admirer, Angel, travel through the English countryside. As they drove on, the fragment of an old manor house of Caroline date rose against the sky, and was in due course passed and left behind. "That," he observed, to entertain her, "is an interesting old place—one of the several seats which belonged to an ancient Norman family formerly of great influence in this county, the d'Urbervilles. I never pass one of their residences without thinking of them. There is something very sad in the extinction of a family of renown, even if it was fierce, domineering, feudal renown." "Yes," said Tess. They crept along towards a point in the expanse of shade just at hand at which a feeble light was beginning to assert its presence, a spot where, by day, a fitful white streak of steam at intervals upon the dark green background denoted intermittent moments of contact between their secluded world and modern life. Modern life stretched out its steam feeler to this point three or four times a day, touched the native existences, and quickly withdrew its feeler again, as if what it touched had been uncongenial. They reached the feeble light, which came from the smoky lamp of a little railway station; a poor enough terrestrial star, yet in one sense of more importance to Talbothays Dairy and mankind than the celestial ones to which it stood in such humiliating contrast. The cans of new milk were unladen in the rain, Tess getting a little shelter from a neighbouring holly tree. Then there was the hissing of a train, which drew up almost silently upon the wet rails, and the milk was rapidly swung can by can into the truck. The light of the engine flashed for a second upon Tess Durbeyfield's figure, motionless under the great holly tree. No object could have looked more foreign to the gleaming cranks and wheels than this unsophisticated girl, with the round bare arms, the rainy face and hair, the suspended attitude of a friendly leopard at pause, the print gown of no date or fashion, and the cotton bonnet drooping on her brow. She mounted again beside her lover, with a mute obedience characteristic of impassioned natures at times, and when they had wrapped themselves up over head and ears in the sailcloth again, they plunged back into the now thick night. Tess was so receptive that the few minutes of contact with the whirl of material progress lingered in her thought. "Londoners will drink it at their breakfasts to-morrow, won't they?" she asked. "Strange people that we have never seen." "Yes—I suppose they will. Though not as we send it. When its strength has been lowered, so that it may not get up into their heads." "Noble men and noble women, ambassadors and centurions, ladies and tradeswomen, and babies who have never seen a cow." "Well, yes; perhaps; particularly centurions." "Who don't know anything of us, and where it comes from; or think how we two drove miles across the moor to-night in the rain that it might reach 'em in time?" "We did not drive entirely on account of these precious Londoners; we drove a little on our own—on account of that anxious matter which you will, I am sure, set at rest, dear Tess. Now, permit me to put it in this way. You belong to me already, you know; your heart, I mean. Does it not?" "You know as well as I. O yes—yes!" "Then, if your heart does, why not your hand?" "My only reason was on account of you—on account of a question. I have something to tell you—" "But suppose it to be entirely for my happiness, and my worldly convenience also?" "O yes; if it is for your happiness and worldly convenience. But my life before I came here—I want—" "Well, it is for my convenience as well as my happiness. If I have a very large farm, either English or colonial, you will be invaluable as a wife to me; better than a woman out of the largest mansion in the country. So please—please, dear Tessy, disabuse your mind of the feeling that you will stand in my way."

Using a dictionary and the methods outlined in section 1 of the preceding lesson, read the following passage taken from T.S. Eliot's "Tradition and the Individual Talent" and fill out the worksheet:

In a peculiar sense he will be aware also that [the poet] must inevitably be judged by the standards of the past. I say judged, not amputated, by them; not judged to be as good as, or worse or better than, the dead; and certainly not judged by the canons of dead critics. It is a judgment, a comparison, in which two things are measured by each other. To conform merely would be for the new work not really to conform at all; it would not be new, and would therefore not be a work of art. And we do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in; but its fitting in is a test of its value–a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity. We say: it appears to conform, and is perhaps individual, or it appears individual, and may conform; but we are hardly likely to find that it is one and not the other.

What is the main idea of the paragraph?

Using a dictionary, context clues, or a priori knowledge, define the following terms (in the sense that Eliot is using them):
peculiar
inevitably
canon
infallible
conform

According to Eliot, is a work of art that conforms completely really a work of art? Type the sentence in which this information is found.

According to Eliot, should contemporary works of art be judged as “better” or “worse” than past ones? Type the sentence in which this information is found.
