Part of the pride of being an American comes from the fact that most people that want jobs have jobs. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes, as happened in 2008, the economy slows down, and jobs become harder to find or keep. Businesses make less money and so can keep fewer people employed. Those people who lost their jobs then have less money to spend. Because they have less money to spend, other businesses make less money, and then they, too, have to cut workers. In the United States, these cycles always end and the economy recovers, but it can take a while.
People have to get creative about making money if they lose their jobs. Sometimes, they can use the skills they used at their old jobs to make money independently. For example, people don’t buy many car stereos when the economy is bad. So, car stereo stores have to layoff some of their stereo installers. If an installer has a place to work, that person can install stereos without a store. Often, this person will charge less than the store where he or she used to work. Also, the installer will get to keep all of the money he or she charged. At the store where the installer used to work, the store would have made most of the money.
During hard times, it is important to be open-minded. There are always ways to make money outside of a formal job, if a person is willing to do things he or she wouldn’t normally do. A computer programmer, for example, might not be able to find work as a computer programmer. However, if the programmer is good with his or her hands, he or she may be able to find work in construction. Lawns never stop growing, and many aspects of life do not stop just because the economy has slowed down. A person who lost a job at a supermarket may be able to mow lawns for money, or do many other things.
Most importantly, a person who loses a job must not give up. One’s attitude is very important in determining if he or she will be successful. A hopeful person is more likely to find a new job. Also, a hopeful person will be better able to keep trying new things. A hopeful person, too, can be patient. The jobs will come back. They always do.

Which sentence supports the idea that people can use the skills they used at their old jobs to make money independently?
A.
"So, car stereo stores have to layoff some of their stereo installers."
B.
"If an installer has a place to work, that person can install stereos without a store."
C.
"At the store where the installer used to work, the store would have made most of the money."
D.
"Often, this person will charge less than the store where he or she used to work."

Answer:

B.

It states that installers don't need a store to install to install stereos (therefore meaning they can work independently.)

How Lift-Offs Lift Our Spirits, by Miranda Sharon

America’s space program does not get the attention it once did. It certainly doesn’t generate the same excitement. From the 1950s through the 1970s, astronauts were national heroes. Children dreamed of traveling through space. Adults looked to the moon with the sense of national pride. Those days could–and should–return again.
If average Americans search their brain, it is not hard to find arguments against space travel. It costs money. It’s dangerous. We have enough problems on our own planet. If the same Americans search their hearts, however, the results are different. Deep within us, we all have similar desires. Space exploration fulfills all these desires.
Let’s begin with curiosity. We all have it. From the time we are small children we long to know what is in the next room, down the street, or in the next town. We are nomads, wanting to explore. We are detectives, trying to solve a mystery. We are students of life, seeking answers. The space program gives us a chance to be all those things and more. Even if we don’t travel ourselves, the excitement of new discoveries would again feed our thirst for something new.
Another benefit of returning to space is the inspiration it provides. In the early days of space travel, America had a goal. We wanted to reach space safely and quickly. The country responded spectacularly. Teamwork and creativity reached all-time highs. Students delved deeper into science and math hoping to contribute. Heroes stepped up to bravely accept challenges. We were attempting the impossible and determined to succeed. Think of the amazing things Americans would accomplish if that inspiration returned.
Perhaps the largest thing lost with a shrinking space program is perspective. Exploring space reminds us how small and fragile our planet truly is. It encourages collaboration with other countries which helps cultural differences disappear. It can reveal the effects of abusing natural resources. Looking at our Earth from a great distance gives us a unique view of our world and the effect we have upon it.
Plans for America’s space program should clearly be revisited. Exploration of our solar system should continue not for science or power or money, but for the benefit of mankind. It gives us an outlet for our curiosity. It provides inspiration for our souls. It offers a perspective to help understand our place in the universe. The benefits are as vast as space itself.


The Sky Has No Limits, by Roger T. Reynolds
The state of NASA’s space program has been the subject of much speculation in recent years. Debates have raged among members of Congress, business owners, and the general public. the president has expressed his thoughts on numerous occasions as well. The conversations seem to boil down to one question: Do the benefits of space travel outweigh the cost? A logical look at the question makes the answer quite apparent. NASA’s space program is worth preserving at any cost.
Put simply, NASA creates jobs. Jobs, in return, help the economy. A single space project can employ hundreds of workers from high level, top security jobs to lower level, yet important role players. Scientists are assigned to solve problems. Engineers are contracted to build prototypes. Truckers are hired to transport materials. Large corporations are paid for contributions, earning profits so they may hire more employees.
The work of NASA also pays huge dividends for the environment. Studying Earth from space provides keen insight into many areas. Scientists monitor the ozone layer. They track the effects of global warming. They study patterns of dangerous storms. They test the possibility of space colonies. All of these activities offer hope to our increasingly overcrowded planet.
The work of NASA often leads to advances in technology. Solving the mysteries of space creates solutions that help elsewhere. The Jaws of Life save victims in car accidents. The technology came from NASA research. The artificial heart did, as well. The list goes on. Architects, athletes, and autoworkers have benefited from space-related discoveries. NASA has enhanced everything from shoes to food. You likely come into contact with something improved by NASA nearly every day.
It is impossible to list all the benefits of a thriving space program. It is equally impossible to predict how many new benefits are within our grasp. To find them, we must keep reaching for the stars.

half-drowned mice. He picked one up, stroked it gently, and
put it in his pocket. The chief would take it home, he said.
“It’s alive. At least it’s alive.”

I believe it is best if Charlie advocates for reducing speeds when there are whales. As said, lowering speeds would make it easier for boats to avoid whales and hopefully make strikes less harmful if they do occur. Given that whales don’t always stay in the same place, it does not matter if we expand our shipping lanes. Because at any time, the same thing could occur.

Read the two passages from "Protecting the Great Barrier Reef."


Passage 1


The authorities that manage the Great Barrier Reef consider climate change to be the greatest threat to the reef. Warming ocean temperatures are causing a phenomenon called coral bleaching. Coral has a substance called algae living in it. The algae provides the coral with up to 90 percent of the energy it needs. When the water is too warm, coral will release the algae living in its tissue. This causes the coral to turn completely white. One coral releases its algae, it begins to starve. Coral can sometimes survive bleaching, but it is under considerably more stress afterward. Unfortunately, coral bleaching due to climate change is not the only challenge faced by the reef.


Passage 2


The good news is that steps are being taken to manage this problem. Responsible farming practices helps minimize harm to the Great Barrier Reef. It is important that fertilizers and pesticides are used properly. Equally important is using less of them and only when necessary. It is also important for farmers to learn how to properly manage and avoid soil erosion. The Queensland Farmers' Federation is an organization of 2,600 farmers who have land along the Great Barrier Reef. They have joined together to work towards better land management practices. This sort of action is vital to the ongoing protection of the Great Barrier Reef.


What would make the structure of Passage 1 more similar to the structure of Passage 2?

1 The author could focus Passage 1 more on the causes of coral bleaching and how it affects the coral.

2 The author could focus Passage 1 more on comparing and contrasting healthy and unhealthy coral.

3 The author could include possible solutions to the problem in Passage 1.

4 The author could include more dates to show the order of events in Passage 1.

He had his watch out as I came up to him. He had a chubby, rubicund face with reddish brown eyes—previously I had seen him only against the light. “One moment, sir,” said I as he turned. He stared. “One moment,” he said, “certainly. Or if you wish to speak to me for longer, and it is not asking too much —your moment is up—would it trouble you to accompany me?” “Not in the least,” said I, placing myself beside him. “My habits are regular. My time for intercourse—limited.” “This, I presume, is your time for exercise?” “It is. I come here to enjoy the sunset.” “You don’t.” “Sir?” “You never look at it.” “Never look at it?” “No, I’ve watched you thirteen nights, and not once have you looked at the sunset—not once.”
