He waited for me to speak. I cleared my throat nervously and clasped my hands behind
my back so he wouldn’t see them shaking. “Grandpa, I have a big favor to ask of you,” I said in Spanish, the only language he knew. He still waited silently; I tried again. “Grandpa, this year the principal said the scholarship jacket is not going to be free. It’s going to cost fifteen dollars and I have to take the money tomorrow, otherwise it’ll be given to someone else.” The last words came out in an eager rush. Grandpa straightened up tiredly and leaned his chin on the handle. He looked over the field that was filled with the tiny green bean plants. I waited, desperately hoping he’d say I could have the money. He turned to me and asked quietly, “What does a scholarship jacket mean?”

The Helping Hands Wellspring
Clark Benson

The streets were particularly crowded that day; people on their way to and from work and parents out with their young children created a quick pace of perpetually moving foot traffic.

As Lucia made her way back to work after lunch, she couldn’t help but notice the well-kept cobblestone beneath her feet and the outline of the shimmering new buildings against the summer sky. Her thoughts found their way back to her childhood—in particular, to the neighborhood of her youth, littered with garbage, lined with dilapidated buildings, and full of feuding neighbors. She recalled a community of skilled but unemployed workers; those fortunate enough to hold on to a job—like her mother—had done so for paltry wages. What a different city it had been then! The community before her now bustled with life and opportunity.

Even at a very young age, Lucia had showed concern for the condition of the streets she and her mother walked every day. She had lain awake many a night, worrying about the poor appearance of the neighborhood and the many hopeless faces she encountered daily—the faces of her friends and family.

“You have powerful helping hands, Lucia,” her mother had told her when worry lines marred the smooth skin of her young face. “You should use them.”

As Lucia matured, she realized that her mother was right—nothing would ever change unless someone took action to remedy the situation. She started to toss around ideas, and by the time she was a sophomore in high school, Lucia had formed a school youth group that promoted community development. The group held fundraisers, organized weekly community clean-ups, and dictated the spending of charitable contributions. Slowly, their efforts became apparent as new businesses began to move to the neighborhood and employment opportunities increased.

As she took a slow walk back to her office, Lucia thought about how her decision to attend a local university had been directly tied to her desire to continue improvements in her community. She remembered walking into her internship at an urban development company, full of city planning ideas and hope. As she walked, the city’s public park came into view, filling Lucia with a sense of satisfaction and pride. Though she’d had much help, the public park had been her baby. It had started small, with a few benches, a swing set, a sandbox, and a modest fountain. Over the years, it became a community hub, a gathering place, a spot where neighbors could meet for various events and activities. It also became a place where young people eager to help the community met to brainstorm ideas for further improvements.

From her path, Lucia took in a panoramic view of the park, remembering how much time she had spent planning each area. Everything had turned just as she and the city planners had envisioned. The trees had grown to surround and shade the small pond in the center of the park. There were attractive benches, impressive statues, and a trail constructed for a leisurely stroll through the trees, as well as a perimeter path for those looking for a more brisk jog. To her left was the park’s grand fountain, with water spraying in synchronized patterns that momentarily mesmerized her. The fountain had been a personal donation to Lucia in honor of her dedication to the community. As Lucia walked by on her way back to the street, she ran her finger over the shiny gold plaque bearing the words “The Helping Hands Wellspring” and smiled.

1) Which of these is the main theme-topic of the passage?
A) learning how to please people
B) the importance of working together
C) finding new business opportunities
D) discovering that you can make a difference by taking action

2) Which statement from the passage BEST describes Lucia’s feelings about her decision to stay in her childhood community?
A) The fountain had been a personal donation to Lucia in honor of her dedication to the community.
B) As she walked, the city’s public park came into view, filling Lucia with a sense of satisfaction and pride.
C) She remembered walking into her internship at an urban development company full of city planning ideas and hope.
D) She recalled a community of skilled but unemployed workers; those fortunate enough to hold on to a job—like her mother—had done so for paltry wages.

3) What kind of person is Lucia?
A) prompt
B) lively
C) humorous
D) ambitious

Question 8 help please

The Story of Cam and Tam

Kyle Ellington


1Once upon a time, a widowed man lived in a small kingdom and cared for his kind daughter, Tam, by himself. Eventually, the man remarried, but his new wife was cruel to Tam. Tam’s life worsened when a baby girl, Cam, was born. Tam’s father and stepmother showered Cam with everything she desired, leaving Tam to live a desolate, lonely life. She cleaned the house, cooked the food, hauled the trash, and collected the water.

2One day, Tam’s stepmother sent her and Cam to collect fish. Though they were half sisters, Tam and Cam had contrasting personalities. Tam fished continuously until her basket overflowed with fish, while Cam lazily lounged in the sun. Upon realizing that she had no fish to take home, Cam decided to steal Tam’s fish. When Tam wasn’t looking, Cam poured Tam’s fish into her own basket, snickered, and fled home.

3Tam wept when she saw the empty basket because she knew that punishment awaited her; however, she stopped crying abruptly when a beautiful woman appeared. The woman grinned sweetly and told Tam not to weep.

4“Your misfortunes will be over soon, Tam. Inside your basket, you will find one fish. Take it home and care for it,” said the woman.

5Tam put the fish in the well behind her house. Each time Tam neared the well, the fish surfaced, which made Tam very happy. One day, because Tam's stepmother despised Tam’s happiness, she removed the fish from the well and returned it to the river. The next time Tam visited the well, the fish did not surface. Tam instantly knew what had occurred and wept. Once again, the beautiful woman appeared. She instructed Tam to visit the fish at the edge of the river whenever she needed help.

6A few weeks later, the Autumn Festival began, and Tam’s town erupted with activity. Tam planned to attend the festival, but her stepmother wrote a list of many chores for her to complete. Saddened, Tam visited the water's edge and asked for help. In a moment, the beautiful woman appeared before Tam and instantly transformed Tam's shabby clothes into a stunning blue and silver dress.

7Tam raced to festival, where she earned praise as the most beautiful woman in attendance. Tam shimmered like a star in the glowing gown, but having everyone's eyes on her made her self-conscious, and she ran away. In her haste, she lost a shoe on the staircase.

8Later, the Prince discovered Tam’s lost shoe. He had seen Tam at the festival and hoped to marry her. He traveled the kingdom seeking the woman whose foot fit the shoe. When the Prince arrived at Tam’s house, she tried on the shoe and it fit! The Prince was jubilant and asked Tam to marry him. Eventually, the Prince became King, and Tam became Queen. Though Tam never took revenge on her family members, they lived in agony knowing that if they had been kinder, they could have lived with Tam and the King.

How does the author create a feeling of suspense or tension in this story?

A) by creating sympathy for the abused and oppressed character, Tam

B) by characterizing one of the two young women as wicked and cruel

C) by utilizing a natural creature, a fish, as a friend to poor, lonely, Tam

D) by having the beautiful woman appear several times to help Tam as her life worsens

Read the following excerpt from the speech "Cotton Is King" by James Henry Hammond. Which type of evidence does Hammond present to support his claim that "cotton is king"?

Cotton is king . . . Who can doubt, that has looked at recent events, that cotton is supreme? When the abuse of credit had destroyed credit and annihilated confidence; when thousands of the strongest commercial houses in the world were coming down, and hundreds of millions of dollars of supposed property evaporating in thin air; when you came to a dead lock, and revolutions were threatened, what brought you up? Fortunately for you it was the commencement of the cotton season, and we have poured in upon you one million six hundred thousand bales of cotton just at the crisis to save you from destruction. That cotton, but for the bursting of your speculative bubbles in the North, which produced the whole of this convulsion, would have brought us $100,000,000. We have sold it for $65,000,000 and saved you. Thirty-five million dollars we, the slaveholders of the South, have put into the charity box for your magnificent financiers, your "cotton lords," your "merchant princes."

What is the central idea of this passage?


A)
America no longer needs an Electoral College system.


B)
Voters must take seriously the responsibility to vote.


C)
College graduates agree with the Electoral College system.


D)
American presidents are in support of the Electoral College system.

STORY:
Every four years, millions of people head to the polls on Election Day to vote for a new president. It is their right and duty as U.S. citizens to do so. In the months before the election, they watch the candidates argue about important issues. They read articles about the candidates' promises. They see ads that draw attention to the candidates' strengths and weaknesses. Armed with this knowledge and their own beliefs, citizens choose the candidate whom they believe will lead our country in the right direction. Or do they?

2In the United States, the people do not directly pick the president. Rather, our country gives this important power to the Electoral College. The Electoral College is a body of electors selected by the people in each state to officially choose the next president. How does the Electoral College work? On Election Day, voters take part in the popular vote. They press a button or pull a lever to vote for a presidential candidate. What they actually do, however, is pick the electors who will become members of the Electoral College. These electors pledge to vote for the chosen candidate in another election held in mid-December.

3The number of members each state has in the Electoral College depends on its population. A state with a large population has more votes than a state with a small population. For example, California has 55 votes while Alaska has 3. In most states, the candidate who wins the popular vote wins all of that state’s electoral votes. A candidate must receive a majority of the electoral votes to become the next president. How many electoral votes is enough to win? In recent elections, candidates have had to earn at least 270 of the 538 electoral votes to win.

4In theory, this system should work, and it has worked—most of the time. A few times, however, the system has failed. In these cases, the candidate with fewer popular votes gained enough electoral votes to win the election. This occurred during the 2000 presidential election when more people voted for Al Gore, but George W. Bush earned more electoral votes and became the president. What causes such a breakdown in the system to happen? Let's return to the example of California and Alaska. A single vote in California has the power to override thousands of votes in other states. Imagine that only one person in California casts a vote for Candidate A. That candidate wins the popular vote in California 1–0. He or she gets all of California's 55 electoral votes. Across the country, thousands of voters in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Delaware cast their votes for Candidate B. Not one voter casts a vote for Candidate A. These states have a combined 52 electoral votes, which is not enough to beat California's 55. How can the leaders of our country believe that this system is fair?

5A long time ago, Americans were scattered far and wide about the country. It made sense to have representatives who voted for them. In this day and age, however, polling places are practically in the next room for most people. With the use of computers, it is possible to tally votes quickly and accurately. The need for the "middle man" is gone. U.S. citizens are perfectly capable of choosing the person they want for president without interference. It is time to graduate from the Electoral College and let the people decide. You want your vote to matter, don't you?
