Deborah Samson, Secret Soldier by Jake WhiteheadDeborah Samson presents her message to General George Washington.In 1776, the American colonies began a war against Britain. The colonies wanted their independence. Many great men served in that war. But did you know that several women fought as well?One of the most famous was a woman named Deborah Samson. Deborah wanted to help the colonies win their freedom. But at that time, women were not allowed to fight. So, in 1778, Deborah disguised herself as a young man. She joined the army under the name Robert Shirtliffe.Deborah thought she would be discovered after a few weeks. Instead, she served in the army for three years! She was even wounded twice. Once she was hit in the head with a sword. Later, a bullet struck her shoulder. Doctors bandaged her wounds, but no one discovered her secret.Years passed and Deborah continued to fight for the colonies. But after three years she became very ill. She was sent to a doctor, who finally discovered the truth. Imagine his surprise when he learned that Robert Shirtliffe was actually a woman.The kind doctor did not reveal Deborah's secret right away. He took her into his home until she recovered. Then the doctor spoke to Deborah's commanding officer. Soon, "Robert Shirtliffe" was ordered to carry a message to General George Washington. She was told to hand it to him personally.Deborah knew that the message would reveal her secret. She trembled with fear as Washington read the note. She thought he would be angry with her for tricking her fellow soldiers and her commanding officers. Instead, Washington released her from her service in the army. Then he gave her enough money to get home.The colonies won the war, and George Washington became the first President of the United States. Soon after that, Deborah received a letter inviting "Robert Shirtliffe" to visit the capital. During her stay, Deborah was given money as a reward for her years of service. Maybe President Washington realized an important fact. "Robert Shirtliffe" may have been a lie, but there was nothing false about Deborah's courage.Question 1Find each vocabulary word in the selection. (The vocabulary words are in bold type.)

Most high school kids go from one class to the next, never getting a break from the books. What if kids had a chance to run a school radio station? Nathan Hill High School has an advanced radio class that gives its students that very opportunity.The students play the hottest music, take requests, produce ads, air music countdowns, and run testimonials. KNHC is know for playing up-and-coming dance hits before any other stations in the nation. KNHC-FM has 60,000 listeners a week. Tim Green, the 18-year-old music director for KNHC, says, "For me, radio is a break from the normal school day. It is something I enjoy."Running a radio station is not all play. There is real work to do. The radio station stays on a precise schedule called an hour clock. The hour clock shows the time at which music and different announcements will be aired. The 17-year-old program director, Shirstie Schmidgall, says, "All of that material airs within one minute, give or take, of the the time that it's written."Like any other job, radio broadcasting has special lingo, or language, for the students to learn. Below is a list of radio lingo used at KNHC.Question 1Find the vocabulary word in the selection.
