Passage 4: Randy’s Restaurant Review: Carrie’s Cafe Carrie’s Café is a fantastic new restaurant with the best hamburgers in town. It’s a small, family restaurant across from the Milltown Hotel downtown. My family went there a week ago for lunch to celebrate my father’s birthday. We had the most delicious meal. My parents had the tacos, I ate a hamburger with French fries, and my sister had a cheese pizza and a salad. They gave us a lot of food. There were enough French fries for everyone in the family! For dessert, I ordered ice cream. So did my mother. My father didn’t want dessert and neither did my sister. The waitresses were friendly and the owner, Carrie, was, too. The service was extremely good, and none of the food was expensive. We had a really good experience. We may go again next Tuesday to try their spaghetti special. You should try this new restaurant. You will love it! 19. Randy ate at Carrie’s Cafe to ___.

Passage 5: Life After College My daughter Lisa is graduating from college next month. Right now, she is looking for a job as a composer. She is an extremely talented songwriter. Her love of music started early. When she was a child, she used to sing a lot, so she took guitar lessons. She learned to play very quickly and was playing country and blues music when she was 12. She prefers to sing or play alone because she gets nervous when people are watching her. One time when she was about 13, she was singing in front of a large group of people. She suddenly looked at everyone, stopped singing, and ran. After that, she started writing songs. Then she decided to study music in college because she wanted to be a composer. Now she has fi nished her music education, and she hopes to work for a company that writes music for movies and TV shows. Surprisingly, she doesn’t want to meet a famous person or win an award. She’s not interested in the glamorous part of working with musicians. Music is her life, and she wants to fi nd a job that lets her write music. She is determined to fi nd her dream job, and I think she will get it because of her amazing creativity. 21. Lisa ___.

Passage 6: Our Dream Home Our family has lived outside of the city of Miami for more than ten years. My husband works in downtown Miami, so he spends a lot of time driving downtown every day. He doesn’t get to spend much time with our three children. We would love to live in the city of Miami. Living there would give us more time together as a family. My husband could get to work quickly on public transportation. We could easily do activities as a family, such as going to parks or visiting museums downtown. If we moved to Miami, we could get an apartment near the beach. We would love being near the beach because the water is beautiful and very relaxing. I’d love having a bright, sunny apartment with big windows. My husband would also like having a convenient place to exercise so he doesn’t have to go to the gym. He could walk to the beach and go swimming every day in the summer. That would be great! Our children could have fun playing volleyball on the beach. Living in Miami would defi nitely make our life better! 23. Right now, the author’s husband ____.

24. The author says that her children ____.

Passage 7: Adam’s Soccer Blog Everyone was amazed this afternoon during the Division 2 season opening game between the Blazers and the Eagles. The Blazers won with a fi nal score of 1–0. No one thought the Blazers could win. After their performance last season, no one expected them to play so well in this game. It was one of the best Division 2 soccer games that I have ever seen. The Blazers’ team has had too much change. Three years ago, their owner sold the team, and the new owner hired a coach without much experience. He chose players with little experience and didn’t train them well. Because the team didn’t have experienced players or good training, they lost most of their games. Sometimes, they never even scored! Last year, the Blazers didn’t even win one game. But the Eagles are a team that has almost always won. They have had the same owner and the same coach and key players for the past three years. They practice hard and work well together. For them, today’s game should have been like any other game. They could have gone onto the fi eld and done what they have always done – played competitively and won. So, what happened today? At the end of last season, the Blazers’ coach left and some of the players did, too. It seems that the Blazers’ new coach has chosen some talented new players and has trained them well. The Blazers are more confi dent now than they used to be. The Eagles felt it, too. They got scared, and the Blazers won the game. It was a great game! 25. The Blazers ___.

26. The Eagles ___.

27. The author says that ___.

Passage 8: How Modern Technology Has Changed the Way We Communicate Many different ways to communicate have been developed over the past 100 years. For example, imagine how you would have told your family and friends who lived far away about your plans to get married 100 years ago. Most people didn’t have telephones then because they were too expensive and many places didn't have phone lines. So, they would have written letters – one for each person. By the time your friends and family found out your news, you might have already gotten married! Now because of these innovations, our personal relationships have changed in both good and not so good ways. On the good side, technology has made it so easy to communicate that we really have no excuse not to stay in touch. Almost everyone has a telephone – often a cell phone – with voicemail, text messaging, and even Internet access. They probably have at least one email account and maybe a profi le on a social networking site. On social networking sites, you only need to update your status on your online profi le for your friends and family to fi nd out instantly about your plans. You can post photos, music, and videos to share. These innovations make communication more convenient, but they are also less personal. One problem is that we don’t know when to stop communicating electronically. Sometimes family members in the same house communicate by using social networking sites or text messaging instead of talking to each other! We need to shut off our computers, turn off our cell phones, and talk to each other face-to-face once in a while. It’s much more meaningful! 28. The main idea of the article is that ___.
