Not Bathing for 100 Days
Seven Arctic explorers were asked to participate in an experiment. When one participates, one
joins in. One is part of something. The experiment the explorers participated in had to do with
bathing. Two of the Arctic explorers did not bathe. They did not bathe for 100 days! The remaining
five explorers bathed at regular intervals. They bathed at regular times. At the end of the 100 days,
all the explorers were checked. What were they checked for? The explorers were checked for
microorganisms.
A microorganism is a tiny creature. It is an organism that cannot be seen with the naked eye. It
can only be seen with microscopes. Microorganisms are sometimes called microbes. We cannot
see microbes, but we live with them. They live on us. They live in us. In fact, we have more
microbe cells in and on our bodies that we do human cells making up our bodies! We are
outnumbered by microbes! Many people think, “Ugh! I’ll get sick!” when they think of microbes. We
call microbes that make us ill germs.
The truth is that most microbes are not germs. Only 4 percent of microbes make us sick. This
means that out of 100 microbes, only four are bad. We need microorganisms. Without microbes,
we would have vitamin deficiencies. One has deficiencies when one has less than what one
needs. Our hearts would not be as strong, and we wouldn’t be able to digest our food.
Microorganisms help keep us healthy.
What was the experiment’s result? The result might seem surprising. The explorers who had
bathed at regular intervals had no fewer microbes on their skin than the ones who had not bathed!
The same number of microorganisms was found on the skin of the washed and unwashed
explorers! The experiment results do not mean that people should not bathe. Think about how
dirty someone would be if one did not bathe for 100 days. Most important, think of how one would
Page 2 of 36
smell! He or she would stink! The point is that our bodies maintain a healthy balance with
microorganisms. We are not harmed by most of them.
1. This story is mainly about
a health

2. What is true about the number of microbial cells in and on our bodies?
a We have less microbial cells than human cells.
b We have more microbial cells than human cells.
c We have less microbial cells than human cells only if we bathe.
d We have more microbial cells than human cells only if we bathe.
3. Think about how the word participate relates to join. What words relate in the same way?

Turtles
Page 4 of 36
Turtles are reptiles. Reptiles have scales, lay eggs and are ectothermic.
Ectothermic means the animal’s body temperature depends on its external
environment. If the environment is too warm, the animal must move to where it
is cooler. For example, moving from sun to shade. If the environment is too cool,
the animal must move to where it is warmer.
For example, moving from shade to sun. The most obvious difference between
turtles and other reptiles is its shell. A turtle’s shell is part of its skeleton. The
shell has three parts. The top rounded section is the carapace. The bottom atter
section is the plastron. These two sections are connected on the sides by
“bridges”. The shell has nerves and blood vessels.
A turtle’s shell grows as the turtle grows. The shell has two layers. The inner
layer is made of bones. These bones include the backbone, breastbone and ribs.
The outer layer (what we see) is made up of hard scales called scutes. Scutes are
made of keratin. Keratin is the same material in our fingernails and hair. Some
turtles can pull their head, legs and feet into their shell for protection.
Tortoises are land turtles with hard shells. Tortoises also have thick skin to help stop loss of
moisture. "
Page 5 of 36
Turtles with softer shells include many water turtles. Water turtles have webbed feet for swimming.
Sea turtles have feet like flippers. They can stay under water a long time. They must come up to
breathe. Like other turtles they lay their eggs on land.
Some ancient turtles lived when dinosaurs did. Some of these turtles had teeth. Today’s turtles
don’t have teeth. However, they do have strong jaws and beak-like mouths. Some only eat plants.
Others eat plants and meat.
1) Write ‘Yes’ if the following statements are true, ‘No’ if they are false, and ‘Not specified’ if there
is no discussion about these in the passage.
a) Turtles that we see today don’t have teeth, but have strong jaws. ______
b) Hard shell and soft skin set tortoises apart. _____
c) Ectothermic animals have to regularly change their habitat according to
external temperature. _____
d) Because of their feet-like flippers, sea turtles can stay underwater for a very
long time. _______
2) State two differences between sea and land turtles
