Have you ever wondered how many feathers cover a bird? That really depends on what kind of bird. Hummingbirds, which are very small, have about 940 feathers. By contrast, over 25,000 feathers cover a swan. Feathers serve the same purpose as mittens, hats, heavy coats: they help the birds stay warm. Many newborn birds, such as robins, are born bald. They have to stay in their nest to keep warm until their feathers develop. Other baby birds, like ducklings, are born with a soft coat of fluffy down. They are ready to run, swim, and follow their mothers around the lake.

Read the following paragraph.

Students attending schools with mandatory uniform policies experience less pressure than do students who must choose their wardrobes. This is because school uniforms allow students and their parents to save money and time. The financial investment in uniforms at the beginning of the school year is far more economical than the purchase of an entire wardrobe of designer clothes and trendy styles. Students who do not have to deliberate what to wear each morning are able to invest their time in more productive ways, such as studying for tests or finishing homework. Uniforms may stifle students’ self-expression, but there are many other ways to reveal one’s individuality at school.

Which of the following statements best supports the author’s claim?

A.) School uniforms, which are less baggy than many modern styles, make it more difficult for students to hide contraband items.
B.) School uniforms make it easier for faculty and staff members to identify students as members of the student body.
C.) Students are more focused on classroom instruction and less interested in what their peers are wearing.

This excerpt is taken from John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address. Which two words best describe the tone of the excerpt?

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.

Now the trumpet summons us again—not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need—not as a call to battle, though embattled we are—but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"—a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
