Self-Portrait
Alia was dismayed to find herself in the drawing studio. She had been sick with the flu during the week when everyone else got to pick their classes. She had hoped for Astronomy or Marine Biology, but they were full by the time she got to choose. She loved everything about science, from the way it used facts and formulas to how it revealed the basic nature of things. But art was so . . .un-scientific.
The first class project was self-portraits. Some students were drawing self-portraits using mirrors. Others were working from photographs. Alia glanced at the incomplete sketches, feeling like a cat in a dog show.
The teacher came up to Alia's easel and sat next to her.
"Every portrait begins with a circle," he said. "Then you create a series of lines."
To demonstrate, he drew a group of small, quick portraits. He began each one with a circle, some straight lines, and a triangle to determine where the eyes, nose, and chin should go. Alia had never thought about it, but the features of everyone's face were in the same spots.
Hesitantly, Alia began her own self-portrait. She drew the basic form of a head, the way she had been shown. From there, she used lines to plot the features of her face. The process took patience and precision. She had to take note of each detail. One wrong measurement could throw off the whole portrait.
Alia was surprised by the structure and discipline involved in drawing a portrait. Measuring, studying details, revealing the basic nature of something—it reminded her of what she loved about science.

The Tradition
Luis's whole family gathered every June to celebrate Grandpa's birthday. Before everyone sat down to eat, each person had to recite a personal story they had about Grandpa. Some family members told the same story year after year. Luis, for example, had his usual story about the time Grandpa taught him how to take care of a vegetable garden.
The stories were a tradition, and now that most of the grandchildren were old enough to participate, the tradition could go on for quite a while. Last year, it took three hours. Luis battled the need to yawn as he listened to all the familiar old tales.
This year, Uncle Frank and Aunt Teresa had dinner ready early and called everyone to eat.
"What about the stories?" Luis asked.
"There's just not enough time this year, with so many people," Uncle Frank said.
As he sat down at the long dining room table, Luis was relieved. Yet he also felt a pang of disappointment. In the absence of the tradition, Grandpa's birthday felt like any other holiday the family shared.
Luis eyed the platter of chiles rellenos. "You know, I wouldn't know how to pick a pepper right if it wasn't for Grandpa," he mused.
"I wouldn't know how to drive a car," said Aunt Teresa.
"I wouldn't have known how to turn a paperclip into a safety pin," added Uncle Felix. "That sure saved the day at Edna's wedding!" Everyone laughed and smiled at each other at the reminder of that well-known family story.
It was a pleasant birthday. Conversations flowed like water, and the food was superb. But something told Luis that next year, the tradition of telling stories would return.
Which of the following best describes the main theme or lesson of the story?
Traditions can bring people together in unique ways.
A person cannot control the way traditions come and go over time.
Going the Distance
Riya spent the first week of high school trying to keep her head above water. She was overwhelmed by the huge building. She decided that she would memorize where her classes were and then pretend that the rest of the place didn't exist. All the different hallways and wings were too much to think about, let alone commit to memory.
In P.E., Coach Wallace sent her reeling when he announced that everyone had to run one mile around the track outside.
Riya searched the faces of her classmates for signs of panic. There was nothing she dreaded more than having to run a whole mile. To Riya, a mile was used to describe long distances. It was ten miles to her grandfather's house, and that always seemed like a long way, even in a car!
When Coach Wallace blew his whistle, Riya figured she would be left in the dust. However, while some of her classmates edged ahead, others actually lagged behind. It's just the beginning, she thought. I'll come in last for sure.
Riya started using a mind trick on herself. She stopped thinking about the word mile. Instead, she focused on reaching the shadow cast on the track by an oak tree up ahead. Then she concentrated on jogging to the spot where the track curved. After that, she tried to see if she could complete her first lap. One lap turned into two, then three, then four. When Coach Wallace gave her a high five and said, "Nice work," Riya was shocked. She never would have guessed that she had just run a whole mile.
As Riya walked back to the school building after P.E., she noticed that she felt less overwhelmed by its size. Maybe she would come to know the place, one lap at a time.
Which of the following best describes the main theme or lesson of the story?
Goals are easier to achieve in small steps.
Try not to measure yourself against other people.

Cami was just beginning to understand why her best friend, Julia, loved riding horses so much. When Julia had first asked her to join her for a Saturday ride through the canyon, Cami was hesitant. She had never been on a horse before, and they were such large, powerful creatures. An hour into the ride, she was having a blast.

As she stood in the line with her mother, Sanjy heard the people around her talking. They were claiming that this was the most important election in the past 50 years. She didn’t quite understand why, but she knew it must be true. Her mother had brought her along to “witness history in the making” and had said they would wait in the line all night long if they had to. She had even brought a bag of snacks and a blanket, just in case Sanjy got hungry and tired. The little girl stretched her neck from side to side to look at the line in front of and behind them. The line of voters seemed to be growing by the second, and no one appeared to mind the long wait. It looked like they really would be spending the night with strangers.

Blooms in Death Valley
In March 2016, Death Valley National Park in California experienced a rare occurrence: thousands of yellow wildflowers covered the region in a "super bloom." Why was this unusual? Death Valley is the hottest and driest place in North America. The area's average yearly precipitation is just two inches, making it a challenging place for flowers to grow. However, in October 2015, the valley had received more than three inches of rain in some areas. As a result of the unusually wet season, wildflower seeds that had been lying dormant underground suddenly began to grow, producing an abundance of golden blooms.
Because of the hot, dry conditions in Death Valley, it is difficult for flowers to grow there.
Because of an unusual amount of rain, thousands of wildflowers grew in Death Valley in 2016.
Recycling things like paper, plastic, and metal is beneficial for our environment by cutting down on trash. Yet many people throw away their water bottles, shipping boxes, and cans instead of recycling them. An increased focus on getting more people to recycle is leading people to develop creative ways to make it easier for Americans. One way is to put bright colored recycling containers in more places. Seeing more recycling bins helps people remember to use them. Another idea that has been developed is reverse vending machines. These machines are the opposite of traditional vending machines since you give it a recyclable good and it gives you money or reward in return. Hopefully more places will introduce new and unique ways to get people to start recycling. What is the central idea of the passage?
People need to start recycling in order to protect our environment.
The amount of people who recycle will increase if innovative methods are implemented.
Reverse vending machines that gives money for recyclable goods is a creative recycling solution.
Bright colored collection bins will help encourage people to protect the environment.

In the track of the hurricane much damage was done. Fences and stone walls were blown down, and the stalks of Indian corn were bent over and broken off near the ground. Hay in the fields was suddenly whisked up, and scattered over adjoining territory for a mile away, being lost. As the wind increased in force many large apple and other kinds of trees were torn up by the roots ; in some instances enclosing animals in such a manner that they could not get away by their efforts alone, though they were not injured.
A large portion of the roof of the church, and boards from tile roofs and sides of several other buildings were carried away. Several dwelling houses were shattered, and two or three buildings were entirely destroyed. In the space covered by the wind was a house, with a wing which was barricaded. The whirlwind swept down upon the wing with such violence that it was instantly demolished, three of its sides falling to the ground.

Passage 1
Living in France was nothing like I thought it would be. There were dozens of Jewish children hidden in the monastery west of town, waiting for their families to come to them, but Benjamin and I lived with the Laurent family. Our family sent us there to protect us from the Nazis, and I thought I would hate it, but it wasn’t so bad—I even started to like it, after a while. I missed my parents, but I knew they would come soon and take us home.
Monsieur and Madame Laurent had just one child of their own, Clara, a twelve-year-old girl, just like me. It was a lot of fun having someone to play with that wasn’t as little as Benjamin, but I promised Mama and Papa I would take care of him, so I did.
Passage 2
“Papa,” I whispered as he tightened and knotted the laces on my boots, “please don’t send us to France without you.”
“My dear child,” he said, standing up and kissing the top of my head, “it is for the best.” He picked up our suitcase, which had clothes and one picture of our family inside of it, nothing else; I couldn’t even pack Ayelet, my favorite doll, or my silver Star of David necklace. We took one last look at our home.
“Mama,” I said in the quietest voice I had, hoping she would still hear me.
“Hush, Sarah,” she replied, “and put this on.” She handed me my overcoat, the only one I had left.
I reached out and grabbed my sister’s hand. Esther was thirteen and refused to cry, but her hand was sweating. She squeezed my fingers twice which meant, “I love you.”
Soon, we were on a train speeding through the countryside, on our way to safety, but Papa and Mama had to stay in Germany
