Lilly loves her town. She loves\r\nthe mall. She loves the parks. She also loves her school. Most of all, though,\r\nLilly loves the seasons. In her old town, it was hot all of the time.
Sometimes it is cold in Lilly’s\r\nnew town. The cold season is in winter. Once in a while it snows. Lilly has\r\nnever seen snow before. So far her, the snow is exciting as well as very\r\nbeautiful. Lilly has to wear gloves to keep her hands warm. She also wear a\r\nscarf around her neck.
In spring, flowers bloom and the\r\ntrees turn green with new leaves. Pollen falls on the cars and windowsills and\r\nmakes Lilly sneeze. People work in their yards and mow their grass.
In summer, Lilly wears her old\r\nshorts and sandals- the same ones she used to wear in her old town. It is hot\r\noutside, and dogs lie in the shade. Lilly and her friends go to a pool or play\r\nin the water sprinkler. Her father cooks hamburgers on the grill for dinner.
Lilly’s favorite season is autumn.\r\nIn autumn, the leaves on the trees turn yellow, gold, red, and orange.\r\nHalloween comes in autumn, and this Lilly’s favorite holiday. Every Halloween,\r\nLilly wears a costume. Last year she wore a mouse costume. This year she will\r\nwear a fish costume.
One evening in autumn, Lilly and\r\nher mom are on sitting together on the porch. Mom tells Lilly that autumn is\r\nalso called “fall”. This is a good idea, Lilly thinks, because in the fall all\r\nof the leaves fall down from the trees.

Which of the following words best\r\ndescribes the way Lilly feels about living in her new town
Philadelphia is a city known for\r\nmany things. It is where the Declaration of independence was signed in 1776,\r\nand it was also the first capital of the United States. But one fact about Philadelphia\r\nis not so well-known: it is home to nearly 3,000 murals painted on the sides of\r\nhomes and buildings around the city. In fact, it is said that Philadelphia has\r\nmore murals than any other city in the world, with the exception of Rome. How\r\ndid this come to be?
More than 20 years ago, a New\r\nJersey artist named Jane Golden started a program pairing troubled youth with\r\nartists to paint murals on a few buildings around the city. Form this small\r\nproject, something magical happened. The young people involved helped to create\r\nmagnificent pieces of art, but there were other, perhaps more important\r\nbenefits. The young people learned to collaborate and get along with many\r\ndifferent kinds of people during the various steps required to paint and design\r\na mural. They learned to be responsible, because they needed to follow a\r\nschedule to make sure the murals were completed. They also learned to take pride\r\nin their community. It is hard for any resident to see the spectacular designs\r\nand not feel proud to be a part of Philadelphia.
Take a walk around some of the\r\npoorest neighborhoods I Philadelphia, neighborhoods full of broken windows and\r\nlittered front steps, and you will find beautiful works of art on the sides and\r\nfronts of buildings. Of course they murals are not just in poor neighborhoods,\r\nbut more affluent ones as well. Special buses take tourists to different parts\r\nof the city to see the various murals, which range from huge portraits of\r\nhistorical heroes, to cityscapes, to scenes depicting the diverse ethnic groups\r\nthat call Philadelphia home.
As a result of its success, the\r\nmural program created by Jane Golden has now become the nation’s largest public\r\nart program and a model for to troubled youth.
