Suppose you were interviewed for a teaching position soon after graduating from college and receiving your teacher’s certificate. A school district hires you and gives you a contract, a legal document that outlines the conditions under which you will work. Usually teaching contracts are renewed annually. Then, after three years of successful teaching, considered a probationary period, the school district which hired you will probably offer you tenure. Tenure is commonly referred to as continuing contract status. Each state has its own laws which indicate the requirements for tenure eligibility. The term “tenure” is derived from a Latin root “ten,” which means “to hold.” So a tenured teacher, in effect, has been given permission to hold a teaching position within a school district. Therefore, a tenured teacher will be entitled to have his/her teaching contract renewed each year. Of course, tenure does not assure a teacher will have the same teaching assignment each year. The teacher might be moved from a third to a fifth grade classroom, for example. A school district can dismiss untenured teachers after any academic year. A hearing as well as due process are rights that the untenured teacher normally has if dismissal occurs during a school year. Tenured teachers, on the other hand, are treated as ones who have earned the right to continue teaching for a school district. In order to fire a tenured teacher, then, it is necessary for the school district to justify the termination of employment by proving that some legal provision has been violated. States differ regarding what would constitute good and reasonable justification for dismissal. Some causes for termination include gross negligence, incompetence, sexual molestation of a student, and other crimes. If incompetence is charged, there is normally a requirement that the tenured teacher be given warning and afforded an opportunity to correct any perceived deficiencies before dismissal occurs. “A hearing as well as due process are rights that the untenured teacher normally has if dismissal occurs during a school year. Tenured teachers, on the other hand, are treated as ones who have earned the right to continue teaching for a school district.” What is the relationship between the two sentences above?

Dehydration is a worldwide problem. Even in the U.S., it has been suggested that nearly ¾ of the population live in a chronically dehydrated condition while being totally unaware of the problem. The effects of dehydration include a slowing down of the metabolism, increased fatigue, joint and back pain, loss of memory, as well as loss of mental focus. Imbibing 8 to 10 glasses of water daily, on the other hand, can mitigate joint pain, improve memory, and relieve some headaches. Drinking a glass of water when hunger pangs occur can even aid in dieting by silencing hunger pangs and speeding up metabolism. Researchers have discovered that taking in 5 or more glasses of water daily cuts the risk of colon cancer by almost 50% and the risk of breast cancer by about 80%. Coke, on the other hand, is the preferred drink of millions of Americans. They are largely ignorant of the characteristics of this common beverage. Few, for instance, know that steak placed in a container of Coke will be dissolved in two days or less. Coke has been used to clean corrosion off the terminals of car batteries, to remove rust from chrome auto parts, and to remove grease from dirty clothing. Additionally, the citric acid in Coke makes it an ideal toilet bowl cleaner. Phosphoric acid in Coke is able to dissolve nails. In fact, those who consume the most Coke are at significantly greater chance of developing osteoporosis, a bone-wasting disease that makes bones brittle and easy to break. According to the passage,

Almost 70 million animals are sacrificed annually in research labs across the nation. Among these are about half a million dogs, nearly 200,000 cats, and over 30,000 chimps plus millions of mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, sheep, and even birds. Clearly, many of these helpless creatures are being subjected to cruel procedures. Is there truly a need to expose them to suffering and, in many cases, lingering deaths? Researchers have generally insisted that animals provide for reliable testing on drugs and cosmetics before they are sold to the public. Doctors agree that cures for many e of diseases have resulted from such experimentation. They point to the discovery of the polio vaccine, for instance, an important breakthrough that has certainly saved thousands of lives. The polio vaccine was made possible through the use of animal testing. Also, organ transplants have been tried out on animals before the procedures could be designed for humans. Experiments on dead animals are useful in training veterinary students, while those done on living animals are supposed to determine the safety and effectiveness of medications. Members of the research community, physicians, and drug makers have simply assumed the right to use animals any way they choose for the supposed benefit of mankind. Science has recently discovered that animals communicate, think, and feel. Some species even demonstrate altruism within their social groups. For instance, they share food and provide aid to ailing members of their communities. A few chimps and gorillas have learned simple sign language. Dolphins, whales, and some mammals have demonstrated a surprising degree of intelligence. Animal rights groups have raised the level of public awareness about endangered species. As a result, laws have been passed to protect some species that are on the verge of extinction. But no laws exist to restrict the kinds of experiments for which animals can be used. Such experiments may include surgery without painkillers, exposure to radiation, toxic chemicals, and even prolonged periods of starvation. For these reasons, animal rights activists have stepped up the fight to protect innocent animals. What have been the results of many of these tortuous experiments? Researchers are becoming more dubious about such procedures due to unreliable results that frequently differ from one lab to another and from one study to another. Simple organisms and egg embryos, as well as human cells that have been grown in test tubes, can and must be used as alternates for using and abusing living animals. According to the passage, medical research on animals
