A Lake Inside a Mountain
1 Mount Mazama is in the state of Oregon. It takes a long time to
drive all the way up the mountain by car. At the top, visitors park their
cars and walk to the rim of a huge rock bowl. Inside the huge bowl is a
beautiful blue lake.
2 Mount Mazama was once an active volcano. About 7,000 years ago a
huge eruption blew apart the top of the mountain. The mountaintop
broke into pieces and caved in. What was left was a great bowl in the
earth.
3 Over thousands of years, the bowl filled with rainwater and melted
snow. This bowl of clear blue water is called Crater Lake. The lake is six
miles wide. At its deepest point it is 1,932 feet deep. Crater Lake is the
deepest lake in the United States. Today it is the center of a national
park.

Crater Lake is located at the top of Mount Mazama. The lake is at an altitude of about

A Wise Teacher
1 Socrates was born in Athens, Greece, around 470 B.C. We don’t know
much about his early life. He is remembered as a great thinker and
teacher and is regarded by many people as one of the wisest men of all
time.
2 Socrates didn’t think he knew the answers to all the great questions
in life, such as what is right and what is fair. He believed that answers
came from thoughtful discussions. Crowds used to gather around him on
the streets of Athens and listen to him talk with people who thought
they knew everything. For example, he might ask someone, “What is
courage?” Then he would
examine the answer by
asking another question. He
would continue asking
questions about each
response until the person
finally realized that his first
answer had not been fully
correct. This method of
teaching by questioning is
still called the Socratic
method.
3 Socrates’s guiding rule
was “Know thyself.” He
believed that goodness comes
from knowledge and that wrongdoing is the result of ignorance, so no
one knowingly does wrong. He also taught that people have a duty first
to themselves rather than to the gods of the city or to the government.
4 Unfortunately Socrates’s teachings offended several important
Athenians. He was arrested on charges of corrupting the youth of
Athens and not believing in the gods of the city. He was tried and
condemned to death. Socrates was willing to die rather than give up
saying what he believed. He died in 399 B.C., leaving behind a wife and
three children.
5 Although Socrates never wrote down his ideas, his most famous
student Plato published many books about Socrates and his philosophy.
The books are in the form of dialogues in which Socrates talks with
others. Plato’s most renowned book is the Republic. The book is about
justice. It is still widely read and taught in schools today.
6 Socrates used to say that he had no teachings to offer, only
questions. Every time a teacher teaches by asking question after
question after question, the spirit of Socrates lives on.

Meeting Alvin
1 Alvin gave Paco this note before class.
Let’s play basketball after school. Meet me in
the park by the rose garden.
— Alvin
2 Paco had just moved to Pine City. He knew there was a park with a
flower garden two blocks from school. There were daisies, peonies, and
many rosebushes in the garden.
3 Paco went there after school to meet Alvin. He walked over to the
rosebushes and waited. He did not see Alvin. Just then a classmate
walked by.
4 “Paco!” Amy said. “Alvin is looking for you. He’s at City Park in the
rose garden.”
5 Paco realized that he had made a mistake. He had to hurry. He
hastily got directions to City Park from Amy. Then he ran off to meet his
friend.
