Going Underground
Clark Benson
The following text is the transcript of a speech.
1Hello, I’m Professor Williams and I teach at Northeast University. Today, I’m here to talk with you about coalmines. Coalmines are one of this area’s most treasured and historical sites. In fact, the mine site attracts visitors and tourists from around the country, giving the nation a peek into our small town. I call it our small town because this is where I was born and raised. Although I eventually moved away to attend college, I came back often to see family and friends. As a child, my parents first took me to see the coalmines and mining museum when I was 11 years old.
2I had already known what to expect once we got there since I had read Nathan Connor’s book, Exploring the Mines several times growing up. In his book, he compares the underground mines to a massive cave, waiting to be explored (Connor 45). I must say, with my first visit to the coalmines, that’s exactly the feeling I got as the mine elevator slowly took us down into the dark, cool underground maze. I can still remember squinting to try to adjust to the darkness, and even feeling a little scared inside as we went down that first time.
3I visited the coalmines several times after that, either with my family, or through school trips. However, once I graduated from high school, it would be another 10 years before I returned. This time, I was seeing the mines as a teacher of history, and I used my return visit to do research for a book I was working on about the coalmines.
4It may sound funny, but I still got those same mixed feelings of fear and excitement as the elevator took me down into the cool underground. But once I got out my pen and paper, and the tour guide started to fill me in on what he knew about the mine and its history, it was all business. Much of the machinery and tools the miners had used were still down there. In fact, my tour guide was even using an original “coal oil” lamp to light our way through the mines. The coal oil lamps were one of the most important pieces of equipment to the miners, and each miner had his own special lamp (Johnson 79).
5I had started my research on the mines with the goal of writing about the mine itself; the look and feel of the mine, and the coal it produced that helped fuel machinery and heat homes. However, in the end, my book ended up being more about the miners than the mines. Most miners endured long and hard hours of working underground, and without receiving much pay. Perhaps Marybeth Anderson said it best when she called the underground mines, “a great place to visit, but not somewhere I’d want to work” (Anderson 121).
6I couldn’t agree more.

Doughnuts – A Dessert Tradition
Mary O’Dell
Doughnuts are a dessert tradition enjoyed by millions of Americans everyday. A little known fact is that doughnuts have been invented at least twice. Archaeologists working in the southwestern United States have uncovered petrified fried cakes with holes in them. These early doughnuts were found in prehistoric Native American ruins. No further information surfaces until the sixteenth-century, when, in Holland, Dutch bakers prepared deep-fried batter known as an olykoek, or “oil cake.” These oil cakes, named for their high oil content, were made with sweetened dough and sprinkled with sugar.
Pilgrims brought the delicious and popular confection to America. The round oil cakes made in New England acquired the name of “dough nuts” because they were small, about the size of a walnut, and because they were made of dough. The name “doughnut” remains in use today, but is sometimes spelled “donut.” Stories vary, but most agree that the hole in the center of the doughnut is credited to a New England sailor, Hanson Gregory.
Grown by many U.S farmers, bread has been an American staple for many years. Because many people needed to save every last piece of bread they had, people began to experiment with the bits and pieces of leftover bread. Hanson Gregory was a sea captain from Maine who worked on a lime trading ship. He would often bake and fry cakes from remaining bread bits he sweetened. Tasty, but soggy in the middle, the fried cakes needed some changes. Captain Gregory experimented with cutting out the center of the cakes. This was a practical move which allowed increased surface area for more uniform frying. The result was the elimination of the dessert’s soggy center. Captain Hanson Gregory had stumbled upon a superb solution and redefined the shape of the pastry. The circular ring shape with a center hole is known as the American doughnut shape.
Doughnuts can be placed into three categories; glazed, filled, and cake doughnuts. Most popular are the glazed doughnuts, which are made with yeast and sweet dough. They are dipped in a sweet glaze or covered with icing, usually chocolate or vanilla. Filled doughnuts are usually made with yeast, too. The light density permits them to be inserted with a number of different fillings for extra sweetness and flavoring. The filling options include vanilla cream, chocolate cream, pudding, custard, and jellies. These filled desserts are formed into either a round or oblong shape without the center whole. Cake doughnuts are another favorite variety. They are the densest and heaviest pastry of the doughnut family because they are not made with yeast. These treats derive their name from their cake-like density. In addition, the name is appropriate because of the popular cake toppings used on them, such as confetti sprinkles, frosting striping, coconut, and chopped nuts.
Americans love doughnuts! Once only available as delightful treats and specialty items on bakery shelves, delicious doughnuts are now on grocery store shelves everywhere! Also, franchise stores such as Dunkin’ Donuts have been operating since 1950. Thirty five varieties are available, so no customer needs to be content with just one variety. More than 2.7 million customers enjoy doughnuts everyday. Even the increased emphasis on calorie counting and healthy eating has done little to impact the demand for doughnuts. National doughnut chains have introduced whole wheat doughnuts and are taking steps to reduce the grams of trans fat in their products. Whatever the fat and calorie content, these delicious ring-shaped or filled treats known as doughnuts dominate the dessert world.

Asthma
Centers for Disease Control, Asthma, FAQs
What Asthma Is
1 Asthma is a disease that affects your lungs. It is the most common long-term disease of children. It causes repeated episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and nighttime or early morning coughing.
2 We know that family history contributes to susceptibility, but in most cases we don’t know what causes asthma to develop, and we don’t know how to cure asthma. You can control your asthma by knowing the warning signs of an attack, avoiding things that trigger an attack, and following the advice of your doctor.
Effects of Asthma
3 In 2001, 20.3 million Americans had asthma, and 12 million had had an asthma attack in the previous year. If a person has a parent with asthma, he or she is three to six times more likely to develop asthma than is a person who does not have a parent with asthma.
How Asthma Is Diagnosed
4 Asthma can be difficult to diagnose, especially in children under 5 years old. Regular physical exams that include checks of lung function and for allergies can help make the right diagnosis.
5 A health-care provider trying to diagnose asthma will ask you questions about coughing, especially coughing at night, and whether breathing problems are worse after physical activity or during a particular time of year. Providers also ask about other symptoms, such as chest tightness, wheezing, and colds that last more than 10 days.
6 Also, a provider will ask about your family history of asthma, allergy and other breathing problems, and your home environment. He or she also will ask about lost school or work days and limits on your activity.
7 Testing of lung function, called spirometry, is another way to diagnose asthma. A spirometer is a piece of equipment that measures the largest amount of air you can exhale after taking a very deep breath. Airflow can be measured before and after you use an asthma medication.
What An Asthma Attack Is
8 Airways are the paths that carry air to the lungs. As the air moves through the lungs, the airways become smaller, like branches of a tree. During an attack, the sides of the airways in your lungs become inflamed and swollen. Muscles around the airways tighten, and less air passes in and out of the lungs. Excess mucus forms in the airways, clogging them even more. The attack, also called an episode, can include coughing, chest tightness, wheezing, and trouble breathing.
Causes Of An Asthma Attack
9Environmental exposures, such as house dust mites and environmental tobacco smoke, are important triggers of an attack. Some of these triggers are listed in the box below.
How Asthma Is Treated
10 You can control your asthma and avoid an attack by taking your medicine as prescribed and avoiding the triggers that can cause an attack. It’s just as important that you remove the triggers in your environment that you know make your asthma worse.
11 Medicine for asthma is different for each person. It can be inhaled or taken as a pill and comes in two types—quick-relief and long-term control. Quick-relief medicines control the symptoms of an asthma attack. If you are using your quick-relief medicines more and more you should visit your health-care provider to change your asthma management plan. Long-term control medicines make you have fewer and milder attacks, but they don’t help you if you’re having an attack.
Important Asthma Triggers:
Dust Mites
12 Mattress covers and pillow case covers provide a barrier between house dust mites and the person with asthma. Down-filled pillows, quilts, or comforters should not be used and stuffed animals and clutter should be removed from bedrooms.
Pets
13 Furry pets may trigger an attack. The simplest solution to this situation is to find another home for the pet. However, some pet owners may be too attached to their pets or unable to locate a safe new home for the animal. Any animal causing an allergic reaction should not be allowed in the bedroom. Pets should be kept outside as much as possible and bathed weekly. People with asthma are not allergic to their pet’s fur,so trimming the pet’s fur will not help your asthma. Frequent vacuuming will reduce the presence of the allergen. If the room has a hard surface floor, it should be damp mopped weekly.
Mold
14 When mold is inhaled, it can cause asthma attacks. Eliminating mold throughout the home can help control asthma attacks. Keep humidity levels between 35% and 50%. In hot, humid climates, this may require the use of air conditioning and/or dehumidifiers. Fixing water leaks and cleaning up any mold in the home can also help.
