"Jump busily, jump away—the fire burns bright!"
It is late before anyone gets to bed, for they think that the longer the children sit up, the longer the old people will live. Some dutiful boys and girls sit up all night long!
Next morning there is a great deal of visiting, and, I am sorry to say, a great deal of gambling. Nobody works, and everybody is supposed to be in good humor.

[ADDING THE RIGHT WORDS]
This drill is given to see how well you can follow printed directions, and how well you understand the way the words are grouped at the bottom of the page. There is something for you to write in each of the following paragraphs, and your ability to read and understand will be judged by how exactly you follow these directions.
1. Arrange your paper with your name on the first line to the right, and your grade below it on the second line.
2. Do not write anything on the third line, but on the next six lines in the margin, write the figures from 1 to 10.
