School uniforms are good for the development of children. First of all, everyone is dressed similarly. If nobody has "better" clothes than others, then no one can threaten others simply because of their clothes. In many schools, ganging up on others because of what they are wearing is already normal, and uniforms are a way to protect the children from such acts. School uniforms also keep everyone from having to buy expensive brands of clothes for school, which relieves parents and takes the pressure of being "cool" away from the children. School uniforms also help children from becoming overly concerned about keeping up with the latest fashions. This gives young children more time to concentrate on important topics. In general it is possible to say, that school uniforms have a good influence on most children.

Read the passage, and answer the question that follows.


Voting for the Academy Awards. Have you ever wondered how the winners of the Academy Awards are selected? Did you know that the selection process actually starts months before the presentation of the awards in late February? First, in January, nomination ballots are sent to members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. For most award categories, five nomination are allowed. The Academy's philosophy is that only people who work in a particular part of the motion picture industry are qualified to make nominations for an award that relates to that part of the industry. So, for example, only directors can nominate their fellow directors. The Academy believes that people in the same field can make better decisions about who is best qualified for an award. Next, members return their secret nomination ballots. Protecting the secrecy of the members' ballots is an important rule behind the selection process. Then, a company called PricewaterhouseCoopers determines the nomination results. Shortly after that, at the end of January, the nomination results are announced. Early in February, final ballots are mailed to members of the Academy. Then, members vote and return their ballots to PricewaterhouseCoopers. Next, the company determines the final results, but they are kept a strict secret. Finally, the winners are revealed when their names are read from the famous envelopes opened at the Awards presentation in late February. the tense anticipation about who the winners are is over at last! Left, a close-up of Oscar statues.

02.02 The Great North American Circus

There was great excitement in Smyrna, especially among the boys. Barlow's Great American Circus in its triumphal progress from state to state was close at hand, and immense yellow posters announcing its arrival were liberally displayed on fences and barns, while smaller bills were put up in the post office, the hotel, and the principal stores, and distributed from house to house.
It was the largest circus that had ever visited Smyrna. At least a dozen elephants marched with ponderous steps in its preliminary procession, while clowns, acrobats, giants, dwarfs, fat women, cannibals, and hairy savages from Tibet and Madagascar were among the strange wonders that were to be seen at each performance for the small sum of fifty cents, children half price.
For weeks the young people had been looking forward to the advent of this marvelous world of curiosities, and the country papers from farther east had given glowing accounts of the great show, which was pronounced greater and more gorgeous than in any previous year. But it may be as well to reproduce, in part, the description given in the posters:
BARLOW'S GREAT NORTH AMERICAN CIRCUS.
Now in its triumphal march across the continent, will
give two grand performances,
AT SMYRNA
on the afternoon and evening of May 18th.
Never in all its history has this
unparalleled show embraced a greater variety of attractions,
or included a larger number of world-famous
acrobats, clowns, bare back riders, rope walkers, trapeze
artists, and star performers,
in addition to a colossal menagerie, comprising
elephants, tigers, lions, leopards,
and other wild animals in great variety.
All this and far more, including a hundred
DARING ACTS,
can be seen for the trifling sum of fifty cents;
children half price.
COME ONE! COME ALL!
Two boys paused to read this notice, pasted with pictures of elephants and circus performers on the high board fence near Stoddard's grocery store. They were Dan Clark and Christopher Watson, called Kit for short.

Beatrice goes shopping at her local book store for something new to read. She plucks a book off the shelf, flips it open, and reads the following excerpt:

“It was the harshest, most miserable winter in memory. I was certain Valley Forge would be the end of me and my fellow soldiers. My musket was full, but my water skin was empty. One man’s shoes had been worn down to nothing during the march. He tied cowhides to his feet. But on he marched for the general and our Continental Army. I admired his conviction. I ignored the biting cold and continued on.”

What are some physical traits of Odysseus that are mentioned in the epic by Homer?

Use the paragraph to answer the question.
People fear wolves. While some of their fear is sensible, wolves actually have more to fear from people than people do from wolves. Although wolves are strong and fierce, wolf attacks on humans are very rare. In nearly all cases, they occur only when people provoke or corner wolves. People, on the other hand, have regularly baited and trapped wolves from the earliest of times. In North America, ranchers eliminated thousands of wolves to protect their livestock. Trappers trapped wolves for fur. Farmers poisoned them and hunted them with dogs. By 1950, there were almost no wolves left in the United States. Finally, in 1974, Congress granted gray wolves protected status.
What saved the wolf population of North America?

A. Congress granted wolves protected status.

B. People avoided wolves out of fear.

C. People stopped wearing their fur.

D. Wolves became strong and fierce.

The Trapeze Act

Toby McAlister was a third-generation circus performer. He had started juggling when he was three years old. At the age of five, Toby could ride a unicycle while juggling six balls. When Toby turned eight, his father decided to start training him on the trapeze.
Toby loved the trapeze. He quickly mastered swinging and transferring between trapeze bars. After only a few months of training, Toby was part of his father's act. As the years passed, Toby learned to do more stunts. The father-son trapeze act became increasingly exciting and dangerous.
One evening, Toby was especially excited about his performance. He was going to execute a triple somersault in mid-air without a net below him.
"You are going to be the biggest star of the circus! Here is a shiny gold suit to show the world how brilliant you are!" Toby's father said as he gave him a new costume to wear.
Toby's mother however was not supportive. She cried and begged Toby and his father to use the net.
"Mama, don't worry. I practiced this act a million times and never fell once!" Toby told his mother.
"Toby is a master. I would not let him do the trick if I had any doubts. The crowds will love it!" Toby's father said.
When it was time for the trapeze act, Toby turned to the audience and posed with his arms raised high. Then, he grabbed the first trapeze bar, and leaped from the platform. For the first few minutes, Toby did his usual tricks.
"Ladies and gentleman, please give me your undivided attention! Tonight, Toby McAlister is going to perform a death-defying stunt right before your very eyes. He will attempt the triple somersault without a net!" the ringmaster announced.
Then, several workers entered the ring and removed the safety net. The audience grew still and silent. Toby's mother sat in the front row and prayed that Toby would not fall. As Toby's feet left the platform, Toby's mother held her breath and closed her eyes.
Suddenly, the audience gasped. Toby's mom felt her heart stop for a moment. Then, the arena erupted with applause. Toby's mom opened her eyes to see that Toby's father was holding him by the feet as he hung upside down. Toby's mom let out her breath, stood to her feet, and cheered.


How do the differing points of view of Toby and his mother affect the story?
A.
It creates tension and suspense.
B.
It foreshadows the outcome of Toby's act.
C.
It characterizes Toby's mom as overbearing.

Colony Collapse Disorder

In 2006, beekeepers throughout the United States began to notice something new—and troubling. Adult honeybees, known as worker bees, were disappearing from their hives, seemingly abandoning them. Few or no dead bees were found in the hives, while the queen and larvae were alive and well but without the swarm of worker bees that typically attended them to keep them alive. What had happened?

The phenomenon became so widespread that it soon received a name, Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) . There was no denying that CCD was a problem; after all, American agriculture depends on the work of honeybees and other pollinators. At least three-quarters of the crops grown in the United States depend on honeybee pollination for their survival. These include such staples as strawberries, blueberries, apples, broccoli, asparagus, and almonds. Without them, both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer.

But what is causing this problem? Scientists have rigorously studied a variety of possible causes, ranging from genetically modified crops to climate change to cell phone towers. Sadly, nothing has shown to be the cause of the problem. The most likely culprits are pathogens, or disease-causing organisms. These have been found in larger numbers in colonies affected by CCD than in those unaffected. But these pathogens have included various viruses and bacteria, some found in greater concentrations in different parts of the country. If CCD is caused by a single disease, identifying that disease will be difficult.

The CCD epidemic is most likely the result of multiple causes—pathogens, poor nutrition, pesticides, lack of genetic diversity, and habitat loss. Efforts to prevent colony loss have been mildly successful. The number lost has declined each year since 2008. But until a solution to this problem is found, CCD will remain a concern that will threaten not only the future of bees, but also of the people who rely on the food that they help produce.

Question 1
Part A

Which inference can be made about the cause of CCD in “Colony Collapse Disorder”?


It is a threat that needs to be identified as soon as possible.

It is very complex and will be challenging to overcome.

It affects bees most seriously but threatens other pollinators also.

It will impact humans and affect their health in the future.
Question 2
Part B

Which statement from "Colony Collapse Disorder" best supports the answer in Part A?


“The CCD epidemic is most likely the result of multiple causes—pathogens, poor nutrition, pesticides, lack of genetic diversity, and habitat loss.”

“The most likely culprits are pathogens, or disease-causing organisms.”

“Without [honeybees], both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer.”

“Scientists rigorously studied a variety of possible causes, ranging from genetically modified crops to climate change to cell phone towers.”
