Answer:
There have been many times in my life when I wonder if I am actually living the kind of life I really want. Although I haven't answered to myself every single time, sometimes I have. Deep inside of me, I have seen the type of life I would like to have. I see myself living in the countryside far away from the city noise and the trivial daily routines. In this alternative reality, I live in a small house where there is a colorful garden. Regardless of how exhausting tasks in the countryside may be, I would definitely enjoy every single one. I see someone else living with me; a wonderful woman who would enjoy this life as much as me. Needless to say that there would be cattle to take care of and a dog for company. This is the life I would want to live.
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.
Answer:
Rickey hopes to find a player willing to fight members of the press.

The Rainy Day and The Castle-Builder

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.
11.

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.

Read the excerpt from "Healthy Eating."
Unless you're trying to lose weight, nutritionists like to avoid diets. "We were just laughing about that, like we could sell fairy dust and that's pretty much what a lot of these fad diets are about," said Natalie Castro-Romero, the corporate dietician at Baptist who oversees the company's 15,000 employees. "One very common thing that happens is people feel overwhelmed and they need a starter to get something going, like a detox, but there’s no truth behind that." For some people, small changes can lead to big results.
Which statement best describes the author's argument in this part of the article?
A- Diet plans are helpful only for people who want to make a change.
B- People should not feel pressured to start living a healthier lifestyle.
C- People do not need to take drastic measures to start eating healthier.
D- Diet plans cause much more harm than people think they do.
