    9. “Thanksgiving Celebration” Last spring, the Frace family decided to take one of the turkeys home for the hardware home and raise it for their Thanksgiving dinner. They chose one of the largest, put it in a box, bought it some food, and kept it in the backyard all summer. At first, it was so small that they worried about the neighborhood cats eating him. As the summer passed, however, he got so big that they worried about him attacking the neighborhood cats. By the end of September, the turkey weighed 22 pounds, and was king of the yard. Whenever cats or birds entered the yard, he scared them away. Late one night, the turkey made such a disturbance that it woke everyone up. Thinking that a cat must have come into the yard, Mr. Frace went into the back yard to quiet the turkey. He was worried about it disturbing the neighbors. To his surprise, it was not the cat that raced across the yard and scrambled over the fence. It was a man! Then, Mr. Frace noticed the burglar’s tools on the ground. The turkey suddenly got quiet. Mr. Frace realized the turkey had saved the day. The Fraces will be having chicken this Thanksgiving, and the turkey will continue to enjoy his food, water, and getting to bully the occasional cat.

Make up 2 explicit questions and 1 implicit question: SECONDHAND SMOKE Scientists have found that non-smokers who live or work with smokers have a higher risk for lung cancer than nonsmokers who do not have this type of exposure. Furthermore, secondhand smoke greatly affects children. Infants of smoking mothers are three times as likely to die of sudden infant death syndrome. Children who are exposed to secondhand smoke are more likely to get ear infections, and other health related problems.
