2. General Colin Powell was quoted in the August 21, 1995, issue of U.S. News as saying, “We should sacrifice for one another, care about one another, never be satisfied when anybody in this group is suffering and we can do something about it.”

3. Animals, plants, fungus organisms, protists, and monerans—these are the five groups into which all living things are divided.

4. Bricks, the oldest building material on earth, were probably invented in Egypt, home of the pyramids.
