(It is the first day of school. Mr. Harris, the teacher, is sitting on a stool in front of the class and asking students about their vacation.)

MR. HARRIS: So what all did you do? Scott, how did you spend your vacation?

(Scott smiles and sits up straight when his teacher calls on him.)

SCOTT: I had a lovely trip, Mr. Harris. My family and I went to Italy. We saw the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, and Vatican City. The place has such rich history and culture. And the food there was fantastic. The pizza and pasta there are so much better than what you get here.

MR. HARRIS: I’m glad you enjoyed it, Scott. Now, Jason, what about you? How did you spend the summer break?

(A shy and frail looking boy glances around nervously before turning his attention to the teacher. His clothes look old and worn. The students look at him with a bored expression.)

JASON: I went to live with my grandparents on their farm. (He looks around the class once again and notices Scott snickering.)

MR. HARRIS: Really? How was life on the farm?

JASON: Umm . . . it was great. Every day I would wake up early and help my grandpa feed the farm animals. Then later we would work on the fields. Sometimes he even took me fishing. And then my grandma would cook us delicious meals from things we grew on the farm.

MR. HARRIS: That sounds wonderful, Jason. It seems you had just as much fun as Scott.

(Jason gives a big smile and nods. Scott gives Jason an odd look and speaks before Mr. Harris can respond further.)

SCOTT: Mr. Harris, how can looking after animals on a farm be as good as a trip to Italy? I’ve read farm life is really boring. Clearly, learning about new cultures is way more fun than working on a farm.

(Jason looks away, clearly upset by Scott’s words. Mr. Harris sighs and looks at Scott.)

MR. HARRIS: But Scott, how do you know that life on a farm is boring? You said yourself that you’ve never been to one.

(The class continues with Mr. Harris asking some other students with about their summer break. Jason smiles with a newfound respect for Mr. Harris.)

Jason is fun-loving and likes to visit new places and meet new people. Scott prefers to be with his family and learn more about the art and history of the world.

Jason is a shy boy who is satisfied with spending his summer with his grandparents. Scott is an enthusiastic boy who likes to explore new places.

Jason dislikes the idea of going far and prefers to spend time with his family. Scott is more adventurous and likes to travel around the world and explore new places.

Jason is timid and is afraid to talk in class. Scott is very confident and seems to like to talk about himself.

Jason does not believe in going out and enjoying his summer vacation. Scott thinks spending time with family during the summer is a bad idea.

Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster."

The numbers that Major Tallmadge assigned to members of the Culper Ring were from a secret writing system he invented. He substituted digits for words that would be used in messages. "Long Island," for example, was 728, "arms" was 7, and "city" was 88. There was a number for each month, such as 341 for "January." He made four copies of his codes. He kept one and gave the others to Woodhull, Townsend, and General Washington. For words that did not have a number code, Tallmadge gave his agents a cipher. In a cipher, each letter in a message is replaced by another letter or a number.

The author’s purpose in this excerpt is to

teach readers about a code system used during the American Revolution.
persuade readers that ciphers are the greatest American invention.
argue that Major Tallmadge made a mistake in sharing copies of his codes.
compare the American codes for secret letters to the British codes.

In one part of Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stow, Mrs. Shelby has just discovered that her husband has agreed to sell two of their slaves, including the adult Tom and a young boy. Mrs. Shelby pleads with him to reconsider. The following excerpt is Mr. Shelby's explanation of their predicament.

I'm sorry you feel so about it,—indeed I am, said Mr. Shelby; and I respect your feelings, too, though I don't pretend to share them to their full extent; but I tell you now, solemnly, it's of no use—I can't help myself. I didn't mean to tell you this Emily; but, in plain words, there is no choice between selling these two and selling everything. Either they must go, or all must. Haley has come into possession of a mortgage, which, if I don't clear off with him directly, will take everything before it. I've raked, and scraped, and borrowed, and all but begged,—and the price of these two was needed to make up the balance, and I had to give them up. Haley fancied the child; he agreed to settle the matter that way, and no other. I was in his power and had to do it. If you feel so to have them sold, would it be any better to have all sold?

You might remember that the author of this passage was bitterly opposed to slavery. What response was she hoping her readers would have to Mr. Shelby's logic?


A. They would agree that selling the slaves was necessary but extremely unfortunate.

B. They would believe that Mr. Shelby could easily find a way to make everyone happy.

C. They would agree with Mr. Shelby that he had no other choice than to sell the slaves.

D. They would find Mr. Shelby's decision cruel in spite of the reason he gives for the decision.

The rules were clear: To avoid the illness called the bends, they would have to ascend slowly, stopping 15 feet from the surface for eight minutes. Jim signaled to his cousin, who nodded his understanding. Following the anchor line, they slowly began to ascend. At the 15-foot marker, they stopped. As Jim caught hold of the chain, Chad tapped his pressure gauge. Because of his struggles, Chad had used up all his air. He needed to use Jim’s extra regulator to breathe air from his tank. Eight minutes felt like eight years. Looking up through the clear water, Jim could see his uncle looking down at them. At least Uncle Ed knew they were safe. Finally on the surface, grateful to breathe fresh air again, Jim waited for his cousin to hoist himself up into the Sea Child. It wasn’t until they were both sitting inside the boat that Chad turned to his cousin. “I lost my cool back there, but you didn’t. You even remembered our code!” He raised his hand for a massive high-five, then added, “Little Cousin, you are the best!”

In the movie Toy Story, a group of toys come to life. In a TV commercial, a car races down the highway. The car is going so fast that it flies into the air. Suddenly, the car has stripes and claws. It has turned into a tiger! How do all these things happen? The answer is in the fascinating world of computer animation.
Animation has been around for a long time. You may remember Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny. These cartoon characters were created in a procedure called cel animation.
Cel-animation cartoons are drawn on clear sheets of plastic. To make them move, the artist draws a series of pictures. The artist makes each picture slightly different from the one before. Then, the artist shows the pictures at an accelerated pace. This process makes the cartoons seem to move. To make longer films, like Bambi or Snow White, artists need to draw thousands of cels. It is very tedious work.
A newer technique uses computers to make cartoons seem alive. It is different from cel animation in many ways. One of the most significant changes is very simple. If you look closely, you’ll notice that cel animation cartoons look flat. You can see them move but they don’t look real. The images are two-dimensional---they have height and width, but they have no depth.
Computers enable animators to create lifelike, three-dimensional, or 3-D, images. First , the animator or artist records the shape of an object, animal, or person from all sides. Once recorded in the computer, the 3-D image can be rotated, moved, and twisted. The artist can add and change details. The image is transformed into a cartoon character with its own personality and flair. Cartoon artists have discovered a sensational new tool. Cartooning will never be the same.

Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster."

James Jay's invisible ink did not become visible by heating. As he described it, his ink "would elude the generally known means of detection, and yet could be rendered visible by a suitable counterpart." Jay's invisible ink consisted of two chemicals. An agent used one chemical to write an invisible message. To read the message, the reader had to brush a second chemical on the paper; that chemical made the message visible. The two-bottle system, supplied by Jay, gave Washington the secure form of writing that he wanted.

Which statement best expresses the central idea of the excerpt?

James Jay was a spy for the Americans and had knowledge of chemistry.
James Jay’s invisible ink system allowed Washington to write secret messages.
James Jay believed secret messages that became visible because of heat were not secure.
James Jay’s system required two chemicals for writing and reading invisible ink messages.
