Sent 2: Do you know how plants respond to these changes?
Sent 3: Some plants open their leaves during the day.
Sent 4: It is during these hours the plant can collect sunlight.
Sent 5: At night, the plant closes its leaves to prevent water loss.
Sent 6: Many plants respond to the change in the length of the day.
Sent 7: As days grow shorter, some plants respond by going dormant.
Sent 8: Dormant is when a plant suspends its growth.
Sent 9: It does this in order to survive.
Sent 10: Shorter days signal the coming of winter.
Sent 11: Winter in most areas means extreme cold.
Sent 12: It is also very dry in the winter months.
Sent 13: As winter approaches, some plants respond by their leaves changing color.
Sent 14: After the change in color, they fall off.
Sent 15: This dormancy period helps trees.
Sent 16: It allows them to survive the cold and dry winter.
Sent 17: Plants only want to grow when conditions are right. 
Question: What happens with growth rate in some plants when days grow shorter?.
In some plants, the growth rate will slow or stop.

Paragraph- Sent 1: In remarks during a ribbon-cutting ceremony here on Wednesday, Gov. George E. Pataki said he expected the facility to generate thousands more jobs in the Hudson Valley area for contractors and suppliers catering to the factory.
Sent 2: He praised IBM for being "a critical partner in our economic development efforts" in New York state.
Sent 3: In a brief speech, Samuel J. Palmisano, IBM's chief executive, emphasized that it was important to make long-term investments despite the current slump in the technology business.
Sent 4: "To play to win in technology, you innovate and you lead," he said.
Sent 5: But manufacturing technology products is a costly and cyclical business.
Sent 6: In June, IBM announced that it was taking a charge of more than $2 billion against earnings.
Sent 7: The largest single reasons for the charge were the cost of getting out of the business of manufacturing hard disks for storage, which it sold to Hitachi, and closing down some of its older semiconductor operations.
Sent 8: But Kelly said the demand for advanced chips, like those produced at IBM's facility in Burlington, Vt., is strong.
Sent 9: "I need more capacity in that end of the market," he said, "and this is factory is critical to meeting that growing demand."Sent 10: If IBM has miscalculated the demand, it will suffer badly as both the high operating costs and depreciation on the huge capital investment for the East Fishkill factory drag down earnings.
Sent 11: But industry analysts said the plant should be insulated from a falloff in one or a few segments of the semiconductor market. 
Question: What company did George Pataki praise for being a critical partner in economic development in New York?.
IBM.

Paragraph- Sent 1: Sometimes traits can vary from parent to offspring.
Sent 2: These changes are due to mutations.
Sent 3: Mutations are a random change.
Sent 4: Mutations are natural.
Sent 5: Some mutations are harmful.
Sent 6: In this case, the organism may not live to reproduce.
Sent 7: The trait will not be passed onto offspring.
Sent 8: Others variations in traits have no effect on survival.
Sent 9: Can some mutations be good for a living thing?
Sent 10: Other mutations can have great benefits.
Sent 11: Imagine being the first moth that can blend into its background.
Sent 12: It would have a better chance of survival.
Sent 13: A living thing that survives is likely to have offspring.
Sent 14: If it does, it may pass the new trait on to its offspring.
Sent 15: Thats good news for the offspring.
Sent 16: The offspring may be more likely to survive.
Sent 17: Mutations are one way living things adapt to new conditions. 
Question: What are mutations?.

Variances from parent to offspring.
