The modern baseball has come a long way rem malls by hand. One of the most popular balls of the time pitchers often made their own bas was known as the "lemon peel" ball.

To Stand or Not to Stand? In 2016 , Vallecito Elementary School in San Rafael, California, became the first U.S. school to replace all of its ordinary desks with raised desks that students stand at. Speaking to a reporter from TIME for Kids magazine, one student at the school gave the standing desks high praise. "You feel happier, you're less tired, and you're more active," she said. According to several studies, children working at standing desks burn more calories and are more focused on tasks. However, some teachers and parents are opposed to the change. They are concerned that standing for long periods of time could cause fatigue, strain on the legs and feet, or posture proliems. In addition, standing desks are more expensive than seated desks. Only time will tell whether standing desks will prove to be the next big trend or a failed experiment. What is the main, or central, idea of the passage? Some people say that standing desks promote good study habits, but others are wary about the new desks. Studies have shown that standing desks help students focus on their schoolwork while being more active. Wher

4)) Saving Sea Turtles used around the world. One of the unfortunate side effects of this method is that sea turtles, which are considered threatened, get caught in the nets along with the fish. Conservation biologists at the University of Exeter in England recently devised a way to prevent these sea turtle deaths, which they tested at a fishery in northern Peru. They found that attaching green LED lights to the nets warned the turtles away, possibly because the lights made the nets more visible. The number of sea turtle deaths was reduced, but the number of fish caught seemed to remain the same. What is the main, or central, idea of the passage? To prevent turtles from becoming caught in fishing nets, conservation biologists attached LED lights to the nets. Conservation biologists are researching ways to save the threatened sea turtle population. One problem with small-catch fishing is that sea turtles get caught along with fish.

When buildings collapse, it is extremely difficult to safely locate and rescue people trapped inside. Victims may be wedged into small spaces, and unstable rubble could collapse on rescue workers. An alternative to human rescue workers may be robotic cockroaches. Real cockroaches are protected by strong yet flexible exoskeletons. The can also flatten their bodies through tiny cracks. A robotics researcher from Harvard University and a biomechanics expert from the University of California, Berkeley, were inspired to create mini robots that have the same features. The roach robots can sque through small spaces and skitter over unstable environments. Fitted with cameras and microphones, they could be used in disasters to locate victims. What is the main, or central, idea of the passage? Cockroach-like robots can fit through small cracks and move through unstable rubble. Inspired by the strength and quickness of cockroaches, researchers created robots with the same characteristics. It is dangerous to search inside collapsed buildings, but cockroach-like robots can go places where human searchers can't or shouldn't.
