A Favorite Dessert Every Friday, Mayor Lanza dined at a downtown restaurant that served his favorite dessert, coconut pudding. One evening, he noticed that coconut pudding was no longer on the menu. He spoke to the manager to ask why it was not available. Too few people were ordering coconut pudding, so we stopped making it, the manager explained. Please put it back on the menu next Friday, said the mayor. I promise you that it will be a popular dessert. The following Friday, the mayor was pleased to see that coconut pudding was on the menu. After finishing his meal, he took a stroll around the restaurant, stopping at different tables. Hello, I am Mayor Lanza, he said to the diners. Please allow me to recommend the coconut pudding for dessert. It is delectable! The mayor chatted with people for a while and then returned to his table. Happily, he motioned to his server and said, For dessert, I would like the coconut pudding. The server replied, I am sorry, sir, but coconut pudding has been surprisingly popular this evening. We have just run out of it. Sherlock Holmes If you were to check a database of recent movies and TV shows, chances are high that you d find examples featuring Sherlock Holmes. This fictional detective first appeared in short stories by the British author Arthur Conan Doyle, beginning in Holmes has continued to inspire writers to produce new adventures for him, and he remains an amazingly popular character. Holmes has astonishing powers of observation. He notices tiny details and uses his skill at deductive reasoning to put clues together. He is always able to figure out who committed the crime in question and how it was done. His no-nonsense manner shows that emotions are not important to him; he is more interested in engaging his everactive mind. His friend and helper, Dr. Watson, is often responsible for sharing Holmes s adventures with the reading public. Doyle grew tired of his character and tried to kill off Holmes in a story in Readers protested so strongly that the author brought Holmes back to life. Even after Doyle s death in 1930, his character lived on and shows no signs of vanishing anytime soon. page 12

A Strength Test To be active and fit, people need muscle strength. In the upper body, groups of muscles help in lifting, pulling, maintaining good posture, and more. One simple test of upper-body muscle strength is the 90-degree push-up. It also tests endurance how many repeated actions the muscles can do. Partners do the test together. The objective is to complete as many push-ups as possible at the rate of one every three seconds. One partner performs the push-ups while the other counts and makes sure the performer s body is held correctly. The performer begins lying face-down on a floor mat with the hands slightly wider than the shoulders and the legs straight and slightly apart. Then the performer pushes off the mat to straighten the arms, keeping the legs and back straight, too. The performer lowers the body just until the elbows bend at an exact 90-degree angle and pushes up again. The down-and-up motion counts as one push-up. The test ends when a push-up is done incorrectly. Then the partners switch places. These push-ups can also be a practice exercise to build upper-body muscle strength and endurance. Fishy Animals At times, English speakers have come up with names for fish by picturing other animals. Take the catfish, for example. People noticed the long, thin growths of skin near the fish s mouth and pictured a cat s whiskers. These growths, called barbels, help the catfish sense its surroundings. There are hundreds of species of catfish around the world, with varied names. If there are catfish, are there dogfish? Yes. The dogfish is a kind of shark. Its slender body, sharp spine, and other features are not at all doglike. But people noticed these sharks hunting together and pictured packs of dogs. The different species of dogfish have varied common names. English speakers pictured a parrot s beak when they saw the front teeth of the parrotfish. They also named the goatfish, squirrelfish, toadfish, and butterflyfish. Scientists avoid the confusion of varied common names for creatures. The Latin scientific name has two parts, genus and species. One catfish of North America, for example, is Ictalurus punctatus. The genus label Ictalurus means fish cat ; and the species name punctatus means pointed, for the points, or spots, on the fish s sides. page 13
