Dear Mayor Thomson, As you know, our town just passed a new law. Kids can no longer ride skateboards on our town’s streets and sidewalks. This is unfair. Our town does not have a skate park, and not everyone has a driveway. This means that some of us can’t ride skateboards at all. 2You spoke about this new law last week at a town meeting. You said that riding skateboards on streets is dangerous. You are worried that kids will be hit by cars. However, we have many small side streets in our town. Cars rarely drive on these streets. It is safe to ride a skateboard on a side street in our town. 3You said that people walking on sidewalks are afraid of skateboarders. They think that skateboarders might crash into them. This is not true. My friends and I have never crashed into someone walking on a sidewalk. We slow down when we see people. We smile and say hello. 4You also said that kids riding skateboards make too much noise. You believe that the people of our town want peace and quiet and do not want to hear us clang our skateboards on curbs. But children are rarely ever quiet when they play. Kids playing in yards make noise. People driving cars honk their horns. Skateboarders are not the only people who make noise. 5You also said that riding a skateboard is dangerous and kids could fall and be seriously hurt. I wear a helmet in case I bump my head. I also wear knee and elbow pads. My friends do this, too. This will keep us from being seriously hurt if we fall. 6Please change this law, Mayor Thomson. It is unfair to the children in our town. Many of us ride skateboards to get from place to place. We also ride them for fun. We are not hurting anyone and we are careful. Sincerely, Reginald Carter

In which argument is the slippery slope fallacy used to oppose the argument in this text? Use the table shown. A) The kids want the right to skate on any private or public property they choose. B) Reginald Carter is just a kid, he does not really understand what a mayor does. C) The mayor knows what is right for the kids, Reginald is too young to realize that. D) If we let kids start doing whatever they want, they will all just drop out of school.

How does the radio communication from the Mothership affect the story?

It foreshadows the frightening experience the children will have exploring the new planet.

It explains the work that was done to make the landing on the new planet possible.

It gives background information about the children's lives before landing on the new planet.

It gives Maria the strength to be the first to leave the ship to explore the new planet.














First Steps

THE LANDING

As the lander hit, Maria drew a jagged breath, and her chest muscles clenched tight with anxiety. Captain Curran, the group leader, turned around and smiled at Maria and her five friends.

“All right,” he said with forced joviality. “Who wants to be the first of the generations born in space to set foot on a real planet?”

Maria waited for someone else to speak or raise their hand. Next to her, Allen just stared at the floor of the lander muttering, “Not me, not me.”

She glanced at Lily, who Maria had always known to be fearless, but Lily bit her lip and turned away. Javier looked positively gray, and the twins buried their faces in their hands. Someone would have to be first. Maria closed her eyes and took a few meditative breaths, waiting for someone else to volunteer, but the lander was silent.

FINDING COURAGE

The radio crackled to life. “Lander one, this is Mothership, do you copy?”

“Yes,” Captain Curran answered. “We’ve landed safely and are waiting to exit the lander, but there’s just a little…disagreement…over which pioneer wants to be the first to set foot on our new home.”

“Tell them there’s plenty for everyone to see, and they’re going to love it out there,” the voice on the radio responded. “I wish it were me instead of you; I miss the feel of real air on my face.”

Captain Curran flipped off the microphone. “You six have lived your entire lives in space, and it’s a great privilege to be the first of your generation to see a new planet. The others are watching; if you’re afraid, they’ll be afraid. Can’t any of you find the courage to set an example?”

Maria shifted uncomfortably in her seat and thought of her parents; they had traveled across the galaxy to find their family a new home, with clean air and good soil, and she knew this planet was for them. “I’ll do it, Captain,” she mumbled as she slipped out of her harness and rose out of her seat. Maria couldn’t shake the feeling of trepidation as she stood and watched the doors of the lander slide open.

A NEW WORLD

A burst of air hit Maria in the face. She scrunched up her nose as an unfamiliar assortment of odors hit her nostrils. Some smelled sweet, some disgusting, and some were just strange. There were never strange smells on the ship; everything was always the same there. What was it going to be like to live where things changed? The rest of the children gathered around the opening as she climbed down the ladder, and Maria tried to smile as she met their worried eyes. Then, suddenly, something crunched underneath her boots; she was standing on the surface of the planet, and it felt nothing like the smooth metallic halls that she’d known all her life.

Without letting go of the ladder, she turned around to look at the world around the lander. The soil was full of shapes and textures; there were some small, grainy pieces, then larger clumps that she could break with the toe of her boot. One piece was hard and smooth, and she let go of the ladder to pick it up. “Captain,” she called, “I think I’ve found a rock!”

The air was moving, and long, thin, green things bowed and danced. “Grasses,” Maria whispered to herself, remembering the videos in her science lessons. She let go of the ladder and took soft, slow steps and realized her arms and legs felt like they were full of lead. “Natural gravity,” she whispered to herself. She started to walk a little more quickly, getting used to the new sensation. She was doing what others had previously thought impossible—taking steps on a new world.

A creature with gossamer wings landed on her nose, and she crossed her eyes trying to get a good look at it. Something small and furry scurried across her feet as she spun in a slow circle. Inspired, she ran as fast as she could across the foreign soil; she’d never seen somewhere so big, and it was thrilling. Suddenly, a deep, low sound echoed around her.

“That’s the call of a hornbeast,” Captain Curran shouted from the bottom of the ladder. Maria glanced back and saw that he was helping her friends take tentative first steps in the new world. “Walk to your left a little, and there should be a stream—flowing water on the ground; they often go there to drink, the explorers say.”

She started to run in that direction and then paused. “Hurry up!” she yelled, unable to contain her enthusiasm. “Our new home is extraordinary!”
