Many

doctors agree that people with a low resistance develop infections more easily. Therefore, if you stay fit and healthy it will help you increase your resistance to infections. Research shows that people who exercise regularly have less risk of getting certain types of cancer than people who do not. Exercise is not recommended for a person with an infection. If you have a cold or the flu, then rest-it is the best remedy. Teenagers are not usually concerned about their health. They think that health problems only affect older people. However, this is not true. Scientists have found that risk of heart disease starts very early in life. 19.

Arrowheads, which are ancient hunting tools, are often themselves hunted for their interesting value both as artifacts and as art. Some of the oldest arrowheads in the United States date back 12,000 years! They are not very difficult to find. You need only to walk with downcast eyes in a field that has been recently tilled for the spring planting season, and you might find one.

Arrowheads are tiny stones or pieces of wood, bone, or metal which have been sharpened in order to create a tipped weapon used in hunting. The material is honed to an edge, usually in a triangular fashion, and is brought to a deadly tip. On the edge opposite the tip is a flared tail. Though designs vary depending on the region, purpose, and era of the arrowheads origin, the tails serve the same purpose. The tail of the arrowhead is meant to be strapped onto a shaft, which is a straight wooden piece such as a spear or an arrow. When combined, the arrowhead point and the shaft become a lethal projectile

wood, or metal), they can trace the patterns of travel and trade of the hunters. By examining the location of the arrowheads, archeologists can map out hunting grounds and other social patterns. Arrowheads are commonly found along riverbanks or near creek beds because animals drawn to natural water sources to sustain life were regularly found drinking along the banks. For this reason, riverbeds were a prime hunting ground for the Native Americans. Now, dry and active riverbeds are prime hunting grounds for arrowhead

weapon to be thrown by arm or shot with a bow at prey. Indian arrowheads are important artifacts that give archeologists (scientists who study past human societies) clues about the lives of Native Americans. By analyzing an arrowheads shape, they can determine the advancement of tool technologies among certain Native American groups. By determining the origin of the arrowhead material (bone, rock,

Vinnie: The new painting is spectacular! It is certainly the best work ever completed by Marcello Vasquez. I like the new painting for several reasons. First, the painting is large. It almost covers the entire wall! Second, the painting is inexpensive. Normally, a painting like this would cost thousands of dollars. But this painting costs less than $500. Third, the painting is colorful. Red and green dominate the canvas, peppered with bright spots of yellow. Esmeralda: The new painting is horrendous! Marcello Vasquez should be ashamed of his work. I haven't seen a painting this bad in a long time. I dislike the new painting for several reasons. First, the painting is far too large. It almost covers the entire wall! I think small paintings are better than large ones. Second,

the painting is inexpensive. This tells me that Vasquez must have been unable to sell the painting for a higher price. Now he is desperate. As a result, it appears he is trying to give the painting away. Third, the painting is colorful. Although I usually like a painting to be colorful, I strongly dislike the colors Vasquez uses. To put it plainly, the combination of red, green, and yellow is ugly. Questions 1) With respect to how they like the new painting, Vinnie and Esmeralda A. agree B. strongly agree C. disagree D. strongly disagree 2) The cost of the new painting could be I. $49 II. $499 III. $500 A.

B. Esmeralda C. Both Vinnie and Esmeralda D. Neither Vinnie nor Esmerald D,bd,c,b,b Readiing Comprehensiion 7 Level 10 Directions: Read the passage. Then answer the questions below. The trees were not old, but they grew thickly round the glade: there was no outlook, except northeastward upon distant hill-tops, or straight upward to the sky; and the encampment felt secure and private like a room. By the time I had made my arrangements and fed Modestine, the day was already beginning to decline. I buckled myself to the knees into my sack and made a hearty meal; and as soon as the sun went down, I pulled my cap over my eyes and fell asleep. Night is a dead monotonous period under a roof; but in the open world it passes lightly, with its stars and dews and perfumes, and the hours are marked by changes in the face of Nature. What seems a kind of temporal death to people choked between walls and curtains, is only a light and living slumber to the man who sleeps afield. All night long he can hear Nature breathing deeply and freely; even as she takes her rest she turns and smiles; and there is one stirring hour unknown to those who dwell in houses, when a wakeful influence goes abroad over the sleeping hemisphere, and all the outdoor world are on their feet. It is then that

the cock first crows, not this time to announce the dawn, but like a cheerful watchman speeding the course of night. Cattle awake on the meadows; sheep break their fast on dewy hillsides, and change to a new lair among the ferns; and houseless men, who have lain down with the fowls, open their dim eyes and behold the beauty of the night. The stars were clear, colored, and jewellike, but not frosty. A faint silvery vapor stood for the Milky Way. All around me the black fir-points stood upright and stock-still. By the whiteness of the pack-saddle, I could see Modestine walking round and round at the length of her tether; I could hear her steadily munching at the sward; but there was not another sound, save the indescribable quiet talk of the runnel over the stones. I lay lazily smoking and studying the color of the sky, as we call the void of space, where it showed a reddish gray behind the pines to where it showed a glossy blue-black between the stars. As if to be more like a peddler, I wear a silver ring. This I could see faintly shining as I raised or lowered the cigarette; and at each whiff the inside of my hand was illuminated, and became for a second the highest light in the landscape. A faint wind, more like a moving coolness than a stream of air, passed down the glade from time to time; so that even in my great chamber the air was being renewed all night long. I thought with horror of the inn

at Chasserades and the congregated night caps; with horror of the nocturnal prowess of clerks and students, of hot theatres, and passkeys and close rooms. I have not often enjoyed a more serene possession of myself, nor felt more independent of material aids. The outer world, from which we cower into our houses, seemed after all a gentle, habitable place; and night after night a man's bed, it seemed, was laid and waiting for him in the fields, where God keeps an open house. Questions 1) Which of the following literary devices does the author employ throughout the passage? A. Imagery, characterized by using vivid or figurative language to appeal to the readers senses. B. Biography, characterized as an account of a persons life written by another person. C. Inversion, characterized by the reversal of the usual order of words in order to add emphasis or character. D. Satire, characterized by the use of ridicule to expose a vice, weakness, or flaw. Though satire may be humorous, its purpose is not to entertain but to derive a reaction of contempt from the reader. E. Symbolism, characterized by the use of an object or action that contains several layers of meaning, often concealed at first sight. A symbol means something more than just its literal meaning.

2) The author contrasts sleeping indoors to sleeping outdoors in order to make the point that A. sleeping outdoors is more freeing and satisfying than sleeping indoors B. the sounds of nature and animal activity make the outdoors a poor environment for sleeping C. under certain conditions, sleeping outdoors can be an enjoyable experience D. animals are more active at night while humans are more active in the daytime E sleeping in an open field feels similar to sleeping in a room Copyright Read Theory LLC, 2012. All rights reserved. 2 3) In paragraph 2, the author writes, All night long he can hear Nature breathing deeply and freely; even as she takes her rest she turns and smiles. Which of the following literary devices is used in this sentence? A. Simile, characterized by the making of a comparison between two unrelated and dissimilar things, people, beings, places, or concepts. Similes allow the reader to better understand the sentiment the author wishes to convey. Similes are marked by the use of the words as or like. B. Juxtaposition, characterized by the placement of a person, concept, place, idea, or theme parallel to another. This usually works to highlight the contrast between the two or to compare them. C. Clich, characterized by a trite or overused expression or idea. This usually expresses a popular or

common thought or idea that has lost originality, ingenuity, and impact by overuse. D. Hyperbole, characterized by the use of specific words and phrases that exaggerate and overemphasize the core of the statement in order to produce a grander, more noticeable effect. This usually works to convey an action or sentiment that is generally not realistically possible or plausible but helps to emphasize an emotion. E. Personification, characterized by the attribution of human traits or characteristics to non-human animals, inanimate objects, or abstract ideas. 4) Based on information in the passage, it can be inferred that Modestine could be any of the following animals except a A. donkey

E. I, II, and III 6) The authors tone can best be described as A. matter-of-fact B. contented C. nostalgic D. joyous E. weary 7) The primary purpose of the passage is to A. convince readers to experience nature by camping outdoors B. report on animal activity that occurs only at night C. describe the authors impressions of a night spent outdoors D. enlighten those who are too afraid to sleep without a roof over their heads E. justify the authors decision to leave the inn and sleep outdoors A,a,e,b,b,b,c,

B. dog C. horse D. llama E. mule 5) According to the author, the encampment I. has a spacious view II. is surrounded by pine trees III. is near farms with herds of sheep and cattle A. I only B. II only C. I and II only D. II and III only of a community, as are engineers, bakers, blacksmiths, artists, and bankers. But we can't all be bakers, and we can't all be painters of watercolors. It takes all sorts to make a world. A community entirely I mean what I say: science in education, not education in science. The difference between the two is by no means a case of tweedledum and tweedledee. Education in science means the systematic teaching of science so as to train for careers in science. Scientific men are exceedingly useful members

composed of scientific men would fail to feed itself, clothe itself, house itself, and keep itself supplied with amusing light literature. Education in science produces specialists, and specialists, though useful and valuable persons in their fields, are no more the staple of a civilized community than lawyers or ballet dancers. What the world at large really needs is due recognition of the true value of science in education. We don't all want to be made into first class anatomists or surgeons. But we do all want a competent general knowledge of anatomy at large, and especially of human anatomy; of physiology at large, and especially of human physiology. We don't all want to be analytical chemists, but we do all want to know enough about oxygen and carbon to understand the most common phenomena of combustion, chemical combination, and animal or vegetable life. We don't all want to be zoologists and botanists, but we do all want to know enough about plants and animals to walk through life intelligently, and to understand the meaning of the things that surround us. We want a general acquaintance with the results rather than with the methods of science. The mass of scientific opinion has always gone the other way; but then scientific opinion means only the opinion of men of science. Scientists appreciate the education needed to make men specialists

more than the education needed to fit them for the general exigencies and emergencies of life. We don't want authorities on the nuances of interstellar gasses, but well informed citizens. What common sense really demands, then, is education in all the sciences: a knowledge of what is known rather than knowledge of each successive step by which men came to know it. Questions 1) Based on information in the passage, it can be inferred that the author considers it important that everyone understand the A. components of an atom B. properties of chemical equations C. scientific names of common plants D. human digestive system E. formula for calculating the distance of stars 2) The author apparently believes that scientists A. are not as useful to society as lawyers or bakers B. lack fundamental writing and social skills C. are smarter than painters or blacksmiths D. discount the value of general courses of study E. are better educated than engineers or bankers 3) Based on information in the passage, it can be understood that the author would likely find all of the

following proverbs to be true of the pursuit of science in education except for which one? A. One should exercise moderation in all things. B. It is better to know a little bit about everything than everything about nothing. C. One must be able to see the forest through the trees. D. Knowledge does not come to one in the details. E. A jack of all trades is a master of none. 4) The primary purpose of the passage is to A. create more diversified and productive communities B. discredit the value of science in a liberal arts education C. encourage interest in and appreciation for non-science-related careers D. describe why scientists are valuable to communities E. promote science education that is useful for all citizens 5) Which of the following questions is answered in the passage? A. Why is job diversification in communities important? B. What is the best way to learn about combustion? C. How popular are careers in the science fields? D. When should specialized science training for a career begin? E. Why are scientists useful members of their communities?

6) The author apparently believes that for those not interested in a sciencerelated career, it is more useful to know the __________ than the __________ of science. A. reasons conclusions B. process meaning C. findings procedures D. facts theories E. details steps D,d,e,e,a,c, By the mid-nineteenth century, mass production of paper patterns, the emergence of the home sewing machine, and the convenience of mail order catalogs brought fashionable clothing into the American home. By the early twentieth century, home economists working in extension and outreach programs taught women how to use paper patterns to improve the fit and efficiency of new garments as well as how to update existing ones. Teachers of home economics traditionally made home sewing a critical part of their curriculum, emphasizing self-sufficiency and resourcefulness for young women. However, with the increasing availability of mass-produced clothing in catalogs and department stores, more and more women preferred buying garments to making them. As a result, home economists shifted their attention to consumer education. Through field study, analysis, and research, they became experts on the purchase

and preservation of ready-to-wear clothing for the family, offering budgeting instruction targeted at adolescent girls. Modern home sewing made it possible for American women to transcend their economic differences and geographic locations with clothing that was increasingly standardized. The democratization of fashion continued through the twentieth century as the ready-to-wear market expanded and home sewing became more of a pastime than a necessity. Questions 1) According to the passage, the advent of mail order catalogs altered the role of home economists because A. mass-produced clothing rendered their jobs obsolete B. women ceased sewing so home economists had to teach other subjects C. their focus shifted to instruction on budgeting and buying and preserving clothing D. home economists had to compete with the ready-to-wear marketplace E. the emphasis on field study and research increased for students in home economics courses 2) This passage focuses on the A. historical shifts in home sewing from the mid-nineteenth century through the twentieth century B. changing role of home economists as a result of changes in the world C. impact of ready-to-wear and massproduced fashion on home sewing D. modernization of home sewing

E. effects of home economists on home sewing 3) As used in paragraph 2, which is the best definition for democratization? A. transitioning to a more democratic political regime B. altering or modifying in a beneficial way C. becoming more affordable to the lower class D. gradually becoming acceptable for an entire nation E. becoming widely available to a populace 4) Based on information in the passage, it can be inferred that home sewing allowed American women to do all of the following except A. continue to wear clothing that had gone out of style in stores B. copy fashions they had seen elsewhere C. create less expensive versions of current styles D. create garments for pleasure rather than necessity E. become experts on budgeting and consumerism 5) According to the passage, which of the following led to a decline in home sewing? I. mail order catalogs II. the availability of apparel in retail outlets III. curriculum changes in home economics A. I only B. II only

C. I and II only D. II and III only E. I, II, and III C,b,e,e,c
