Reading reading comprehension 91 FICTION From casual-dining restaurants to school lunch boxes—plastic utensils are everywhere. Plastic forks and spoons are convenient, but they are not biodegradable. Plastic is a material that does not break down naturally. When food and other natural products are put in a garbage heap, they are broken down by air, moisture, or soil. They become a part of the surrounding land. Some companies offer an Earth-friendly solution to the plastic problem by producing utensils that can break down. They use natural materials such as plants and minerals to make biodegradable utensils. These types of utensils break down in about 120 days. How does the author feel about the use of plastic utensils? On July 16, 1969, millions of people all over the world gathered around their TV sets. They watched the liftoff of Apollo 11, the first spaceflight to send humans to the moon. Just four days later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. The United States and the Soviet Union had been competing for months to see who would make it to the moon first. When Armstrong stepped onto the moon’s surface, he announced, “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” Glued to their televisions, people watched Aldrin and Armstrong hopping about the moon’s surface. The astronauts collected rocks and soil, planted an American flag, and left behind footprints that are still visible on the moon today! Why do you think the astronauts planted an American flag on the moon? It’s hard to imagine a time when women could not vote. But in the early days of the United States, women were denied this right. Some women tried to change state laws. Wyoming became the first state to allow women to vote in 1890. Twenty-eight years later, only 15 states had given women the right to vote. More than half the country still opposed voting rights for women! Despite a lot of opposition, women such as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Alice Paul decided to try to change the laws of the entire country. They organized marches, held meetings, and took cases to court to fight voting laws. All their hard work paid off. In 1920, Congress adopted the 19th Amendment, giving all women the right to vote! Why do you think some women thought it was necessary to change U.S. voting laws instead of individual state laws?
