Part A

"A Performance to Remember" explains that Surya Bonaly challenges authority.

Which evidence from the text best supports this?


"She not only refused to stand on the second place winner’s spot at the podium but also removed her silver medal from around her neck."

"This included ideas of a cool and aloof 'ice princess' or as 'cute as a button'—a perky ballerina on ice skates."

"Her excellence and competitiveness paid off when, at the age of twelve, she won the World Championship in tumbling."

"However, she soon found herself battling against strongly held stereotypes of what a women’s figure skater was supposed to be."
Question 2
Part B

Which additional evidence from the text best supports the answer to Part A?


"Bonaly remains the only female skater in history to do this jump successfully in competition."

"It had already gotten her into trouble as the jump was banned by Olympic officials because of the danger."

"Bonaly landed her flip cleanly and finished her program with no mistakes. The crowd went wild with applause and cheers."

"Although her feat did not win her a medal, it was a move that, given its risk and difficulty, made people remember her."

It can be inferred that the evidence from the text that best supports the idea that Surya Bonaly challenges authority is:

"She not only refused to stand on the second place winner’s spot at the podium but also removed her silver medal from around her neck." (Option A)

The additional evidence that supports the answer above is:

"Although her feat did not win her a medal, it was a move that, given its risk and difficulty, made people remember her." (Option D)

Memories of a Memory

Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.

Which line from the text most clearly explains the main idea of the final paragraph?

With individual memories all jumbled up
It is hard to believe we ever know anything
The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed
We may want to start carrying video cameras

Suppose you were asked to revise the following speech to sound more like academic discourse.

The results of the research for stopping this are: We need programs to address both younger and older kid violence. Having preventative classes for only younger kids with bad behavior misses over half of the kids who will be really bad violent offenders, although across the world prevention programs in childhood may be good for stopping older kid violence.

Which answer would work best for this task?
A. The implications of these findings for prevention are clear: Programs are needed to address both early- and late-onset violence. Targeting prevention programs solely to younger children with problem behavior misses over half of the children who will eventually become serious violent offenders, although universal prevention programs in childhood may be effective in preventing late-onset violence.

B. The results of these findings for prevention are clear: Classes are needed to address both early- and late-onset violence. Having prevention programs solely for littler kids with behavior problems misses over half of the kids who will eventually become serious violent offenders, although universal prevention programs in childhood may be good in preventing late-onset violence.

C. The implications of these findings for prevention are clear. Programs are needed to address both early- and late-onset violence. Targeting prevention programs solely to younger children with problem behavior misses over half of the children who will eventually become serious violent offenders. Although universal prevention programs in childhood may be effective in preventing late-onset violence.

D. The implications of these findings for prevention are clear, and programs are needed to address both early- and late-onset violence because targeting prevention programs solely to younger children with problem behavior misses over half of the children who will eventually become serious violent offenders. Although universal prevention programs in childhood may be effective in preventing late-onset violence.
