"Mama, is it time to go?"I hadn't planned to cry, but the tears came suddenly, and I wiped them away with the back of my hand. I didn't want my older sister to see me crying."It's almost time, Ruri," my mother said gently. Her face was filled with a kind of sadness I had never seen before.I looked around at my empty room. The clothes that Mama always told me to hang up in the closet, the junk piled on my dresser, the old rag doll I could never bear to part with--they were all gone. There was nothing left in the rest of the house. The rugs and furniture were gone, the pictures and drapes were down, and the closets and cupboards were empty. The house was like a gift box after the nice thing inside was gone; just a lot of nothingness.

What conclusion can the reader draw after reading this passage?

• Ruri is getting married and leaving her childhood home.

• Ruri is going off to college.

• Ruri's family is moving to another place.

• Ruri's parents are divorcing.

Jonah is from Chicago. One day, his parents decided to take a family vacation in the West. His mother wanted to visit her brother Jim whom she hadn't seen in a long time. Uncle Jim and Aunt Sally lived in Los Angeles. While there, they planned to see the ocean. Jonah was very excited because he had never been to California—or to the ocean! California is nearly 3,000 miles away from Chicago, but his parents wanted to drive. The family prepared for their trip and packed the car. Suitcases, blankets, snacks, and books were tossed into the trunk. Jonah brought his headphones so he could listen to the music he liked. No classical music for him! Once they were on the road, he closed his eyes and dreamed about the ocean. Jonah could hear the waves washing up on the shore. He could smell the salt air and feel the cool breeze on his neck. They drove for several days before they arrived in Los Angeles. Jonah's aunt was glad to see them, and she greeted Jonah with a big hug. The families had lunch together, but all Jonah could think about was the ocean. Finally, his uncle Jim turned to him and asked, "How would you like to see the ocean, Jonah?" Jonah responded with a shout, which made his uncle smile. Jonah's uncle drove them to Ocean Beach and parked the car. When Jonah stepped out, he heard the crashing of the waves. The smell of the ocean filled his head, and the breeze brushed across his body. It was all just as he had imagined.

What is the most likely reason the family drives to California?

• to visit Jonah's relatives

• to see the countryside

• to stop at interesting places

• to take a long drive

 Cheryl took a deep breath and stepped into the basket of the hot air balloon. Her heart was pounding, and her palms were covered in sweat. The Mayfield Light Aircraft Festival came to her town every year, but she had never had the courage to take a hot air balloon ride. This year, she was determined to take her first ride. The hot air balloon pilot smiled at Cheryl as she grabbed on to the safety bar inside the balloon basket.  “This must be your first time going up, young lady,” said the pilot as he began to prepare the balloon for launch. “Well, I’ve been piloting balloons for 20 years, so you’re in good hands. I promise you’ll have such a good time up there, you won’t want to come back down.” The pilot fired the burner unit, and the hot air balloon slowly lifted into the air. Cheryl gasped as she watched the ground get farther away. Then, she glanced up at the billowing balloon above her. The burner unit lit up the inside of the balloon like a jack-o-lantern on Halloween. “Isn’t it beautiful up here?” asked the pilot. Cheryl looked out over the top of the basket. From this height, she could see the entire town laid out before her. The autumn leaves on the trees made the ground look like a beautiful orange and red patchwork quilt.  “It looks amazing,” she agreed as the balloon began to descend. The nervous butterflies in her stomach seemed to have disappeared into the cool, clear air. The balloon pilot was right—Cheryl wished she could stay up in the clouds forever.

Which of the following articles should Cheryl read to find out how to become a hot air balloon pilot?

• Safety Procedures Aboard Light Aircraft

• The Science of Hot Air Balloons

• Getting a Light Aircraft License

• The History of Hot Air Ballooning
