Read this excerpt from I Never Had It Made.

Winning his directors' approval was almost insignificant in contrast to the task which now lay ahead of the Dodger president. He made certain that word of his plans did not leak out, particularly to the press. Next, he had to find the ideal player for his project, which came to be called "Rickey's noble experiment." This player had to be one who could take abuse, name-calling, rejection by fans and sportswriters and by fellow players not only on opposing teams but on his own. He had to be able to stand up in the face of merciless persecution and not retaliate.

On the other hand, he had to be a contradiction in human terms; he still had to have spirit. He could not be an Uncle Tom. His ability to turn the other cheek had to be predicated on his determination to gain acceptance. Once having proven his ability as player, teammate, and man, he had to be able to cast off humbleness and stand up as a full-fledged participant whose triumph did not carry the poison of bitterness.

Which is the central idea of this excerpt?

Rickey is frustrated with the cruel treatment of his players.
Rickey needs a strong man of purpose to represent integration.
Rickey hopes to find a player willing to fight members of the press.
Rickey wants to interview athletes to assess their personalities.

The Rainy Day and The Castle-Builder



Read the selections and choose the best answer for each question.



Poem 1: The Rainy Day

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;

It rains, and the wind is never weary;

The vine still clings to the mouldering1 wall,

But at every gust the dead leaves fall,

5 And the day is dark and dreary.



My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;

It rains, and the wind is never weary;

My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past,

But the hopes of youth fall think in the blast,

10 And the days are dark and dreary.



Be still, sad heart! and cease repining2;

Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;

Thy fate is the common fate of all,

Into each life some rain must fall,

15 Some days must be dark and dreary.



Mouldering: decaying; rottingRepining: complaining





Poem 2: The Castle-Builder

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow



A gentle boy, with soft and silken locks,

A dreamy boy, with brown and tender eyes,

A castle-builder, with his wooden blocks,

And towers that touch imaginary skies.



5 A fearless rider on his father’s knee,

An eager listener unto stories told

At the Round Table of the nursery,

Of heroes and adventures manifold.



There will be other towers for thee to build;

10 There will be other steeds for thee to ride;

There will be other legends, and all filled

With greater marvels and more glorified.



Build on, and make thy castles high and fair, ,

Rising and reaching upward to the skies;

15 Listening to voices in the upper air,

Nor lose thy simple faith in mysteries.

Which idea presented in the selection does the photograph and caption next to paragraph 3 best support?

People like to buy produce that is sold at a reduced price

An initial step in Sainsbury’s plan is to sell appealing food to its customers.

Unwanted produce can be a nutritious source of food for farm animals.

Sainsbury’s donates fresh produce to local organizations that help people in need.

This is the paragraph 3

Offering shoppers the freshest and most appealing products possible is a good start. Attractive food sells the best. At the end of each day, each grocery store reduces the prices of fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy products. Cheaper food sells even better. Whatever edible food is left goes to charities for distribution to people who need it. Free food goes into bellies rather than the ground. Sainsbury’s gives away large amounts of food to farmers to feed animals as well. Animals do not care if lettuce is wilted.

Monarch Butterflies are sometimes called “The king of the Butterflies”.
They are special butterflies. Monarchs make mass migration or seasonal movement each fall and spring. In the fall, Monarchs fly nearly 3,000 miles to México or California. They migrate to the south so they can be warm. Monarchs will spend six to eight months in the warmer climate. In the Spring, the Monarchs fly back to their northern Habitat.

Select the correct text in the passage.
Sarah has written an outline for an essay. One of her bullet points shows that educating the public about the importance of using seat belts convinces more people to use them. In which part of the outline can this idea be found?
Introduction
Car accidents are the leading cause of death among teens. Of the teens that died in car accidents last year, more than half of them were not wearing seat belts at the time of the crash. Seat belts may not be comfortable or feel cool to wear, but they can save lives. They reduce serious injuries and deaths by more than half. People tend to use seat belts less often if there are no seat belt laws in their state. In order to prevent injuries, there should be seat belt education in schools, laws to make citizens wear seat belts, and awareness campaigns for the public. Body Paragraph Every school should have some type of health education program. This program should review the importance of healthy eating and exercise, the body systems, and refraining from drugs and alcohol. These things can protect your health and keep you safe. But car accidents are the number one killer for teenagers. In order to prevent deaths, seat belt education needs to be included in health education programs. When students understand the importance of wearing a seat belt, they will be more likely to wear seat belts in the car. In 1985, the Ad Council introduced a commercial featuring the crash test dummies. The ad said, “You could learn a lot from a dummy.” People wearing seat belts increased from 14% to 79%. Conclusion Taking the time to teach seat belt education in schools, creating laws to make citizens wear seat belts, and using awareness campaigns to educate the public can help prevent injuries and deaths on the road.

How does the author organize ideas in the passage? (The passage is California Mystery Spot) the passage starts
The passage
1. Tourists visiting the state of California might be interested in making time to see its magnificent natural wonders. They might enjoy traveling through forests of towering, ancient redwoods venturing on hikes deep in the shadowy woods, or trekking along the edges of snow-capped mountains. However, if travelers are the kind of people who like to let their imaginations run wild, they might want to visit an area that defies the laws of gravity.

2. It may sound fantastical, but just outside of Santa Cruz, California, not far from the Pacific Ocean, is an area called the Mystery Spot. This mystifying place is nestled in a canyon on the side of a hill. The spot, which is no larger than 150 feet in diameter, seems to defy all natural laws.

Discovery of the Mystery Spot

3. The amazing qualities of this location were first reported by the people who own and operate the Mystery Spot. The owners say that the mysterious properties of this location were first discovered in 1939, when the land was benign surveyed for purchase. While the surveyor was doing his job, his compass began to fluctuate wildly. This fluctuation was completely abnormal, and the surveyor could not obtain an accurate reading. Although he and his workers were confused, they blamed the variance on underground minerals or the possibility of barbed wire being buried nearby.
