Question: CHAPTER IV 

AN UNEXPECTED ARRIVAL 

"This is the time we get the best of Dave Porter!" whispered Link Merwell to his cronies. "I guess we have spoiled their picnic." 

"I--I--don't think th--they'll fight," faltered Nat, as Dave leaped to the ground, followed by his chums. 

"Better arm yourselves with clubs," suggested Nick Jasniff. "Remember, we are only three to five." 

"Maybe we had better--er--go away," returned the money-lender's son, hesitatingly. 

"No, I am going to see the thing out," answered Jasniff. 

"So am I," added Merwell. "Don't go, Nat--they won't dare to fight--with the girls looking on." 

"Whoa, there! Whoa!" came a cry from behind the two touring cars, and looking back the boys and girls saw a man drive up on a buckboard drawn by a spirited horse. 

"Why, if it isn't Jed Sully!" cried Ben. 

"Who is he?" questioned Sam. 

"Sort of a roadmaster in these parts. I suppose he is going around, inspecting the roads and bridges." 

"Then he ought to be able to tell us about this road!" put in Phil, quickly. 

"Hello! What's the meaning of this?" demanded Jed Sully, after alighting. And he strode forward and confronted the boys. 

"How are you, Mr. Sully?" said Dave, for he had met the roadmaster before. 

"Oh, so it's you, Dave! Blocked up, eh?" And the roadmaster looked first at Dave and his chums and then at those standing on the other side of the barrier. "Who did this?"

Question: Since 1936, many female space explorers have followed Russian astronaut Valentina Tereshkova. Let's look at the missions of four important female astronauts to find out what astronauts do in space. In 1983, Sally Ride became the first American women in space. Her team carried out scientific experiments in space and put two communications satellites in space. Satellites make it possible for us to communicate instantly with each other across the world through TV, radio, and telephones. In 1984, Kathryn Sullivan became the first American women to walk in space. During her mission, she discovered important information about the sun's energy and how it affects the climate in very hot and very cold places on Earth. She also took photographs of Earth and measured air pollution. In 1992, Mae Jemison became the first African-American in space. During her mission, she did scientific experiments using the weightless atmosphere. In space, there is no gravity, so everything floats! Dr. Jemison's experiments gave important information about the human body to produce better medicines and healthcare. In 2012, Liu Yang became the first Chinese women in space. She did experiments in space medicine, which look at how astronauts can survive and stay healthy in space. The conditions in space are very hard on the body and space medicine helps astronauts work safely. 1. Who was the first American woman in space?
2. How many satellites did her team put in space?
3. And who was the first American woman to take steps in space?
4. What did she take pictures of?
5. What did she measure?
6. Who was the first black person in space?
7. What did her experiments use?
8. What data did her experiments show?
9. Who was the first Chinese woman in space?
10. What did her experiments look at?
11. What does space medicine do? Provide a numbered list of answers.

Question: (CNN) -- A man suspected of conspiring with a terrorist network responsible for the deaths of five U.S. soldiers in Iraq was arrested Wednesday in Canada, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney's office for the Eastern District of New York. 

Faruq Khalil Muhammad, 38, is charged with conspiring to kill Americans abroad and providing material support to a terrorist network that conducted suicide bombings in Iraq, the statement said. 

He was arrested by authorities after a U.S. warrant was issued for his arrest. 

The five U.S. soldiers were killed on April 10, 2009, when a Tunisian man drove a truck filled with explosives to the gate of a U.S. forward operating base in Mosul, Iraq. 

The trucks' detonation destroyed a vehicle in a nearby U.S. convoy, killing Sgt. Gary L. Woods, 24; Sgt. 1st. Class Bryan E. Hall, 32; Sgt. Edward W. Forrest Jr., 25; Cpl. Jason G. Pautsch, 20; and Pvt. Bryce E. Gaultier, 22, the statement said. 

Muhammed is suspected of providing material support for that attack and allegedly sought to conduct attacks himself and become a suicide bomber, the statement said. 

"There is no safe harbor for terrorists, including those who endeavor to spread violence from halfway across the world," said U.S. Attorney Loretta E. Lynch in the statement. "Today's arrest demonstrates that we have not forgotten that sacrifice (of U.S. soldiers) and will continue to use every available means to bring to justice all those who are responsible."
