Frank Tower, have you ever heard of him? He is the questionable figure who supposedly survived three doomed ships in the 1900s. Some consider him one of the luckiest men alive. He was touted to be a middle-aged fireman in the engine room. Some considered him an ordinary, hardworking person, but he had the ability to avoid dying in some of the most horrendous ocean liner accidents ever recorded. He was said to have once been a crew member on the Titanic at the time that the ship hit the iceberg. Two years later, he was working on the Empress of Ireland when she collided with the Storstad. Over one thousand people died in that disaster. He was then employed in May of 1915 on the Lusitania when it was hit by a U-20 torpedo. He apparently lived through that without a scratch as well. If you are beginning to doubt this mans existence, you are probably not to far from the truth. No records have been found ever listing a man by Frank Towers working on any of the three ships. The legend of Frank Towers seems to be another case of an urban folk tale, humanitys desire to see triumph over a tragic situation. Fact or fiction, Frank Towers is one of the multiple characters that help color the history books.

Directions: Read the following paragraphs and answer the questions that accompany them. Circle the correct answer, which you believe most accurately satisfies the requirements of each question. The answer key is located at the end of this test.Passage OneParagraph A Lightning is an electrical discharge that occurs in a thunderstorm. It can be seen in the form of a bright streak (or bolt) from the sky. Lightning occurs when an electrical charge is built up within a cloud, due to static electricity generated by supercooled water droplets colliding with ice crystals near the freezing level. When a large enough charge is built up, a large discharge will occur and can be seen as lightning. The temperature of a lightning bolt can be five times hotter than the surface of the sun. Although the lightning is extremely hot, the duration is short and 90% of strike victims survive. Contrary to the popular idea that lightning does not strike twice in the same spot, some people have been struck by lightning over three times, and skyscrapers like the Empire State Building have been struck numerous times in the same storm. The loud bang that is heard is the super heated air around the lightning bolt expanding at the speed of sound. Because sound travels slower than light the flash is seen before the bang, although both occur at the same moment. 1. What can be inferred from paragraph A?A: Lightning is caused by an electrical discharge in the clouds.B: Lightning is not as hot as the temperature of the sun's surface.C: The sound made by lightning occurs when the electricity strikes an object.D: The sound of lightning is heard before the lightning can be seen. 2. Being struck by lightning means:A: Instant death.B: Less than a fifty percent chance of survival.C: A ninety percent chance of surviving the strike.D: An eighty percent chance of survival. 3. Lightning is caused by:A: Static electricity generated by cool water droplets and ice crystals colliding in the clouds.B: Friction from the clouds rubbing together.C: Extreme heat in the clouds caused by solar energy.D: Warm and cold air mixing together.

Answer Key 1. A: Lightning is caused by an electrical discharge in the clouds when static electricity builds up. 2. 2. C: A ninety percent chance of surviving the strike without permanent

injury. 3. 3. A: Static electricity generated by cool water droplets and ice crystals colliding in the clouds.
