What are the conflicts in this story? How do Jolene's actions move the plot forward?
Passage
Jolene was hungry and craving a big bowl of cereal. Peering into the fridge, she remembered that she had used the rest of the milk last night. Maybe her mom was on the way home and could pick some up. Her quick text message was met with an immediate response: "Stuck at work, won't be home for an hour." With no stores in walking distance, Jolene rummaged through the cabinet to find a jar and ventured to her neighbor's house to borrow a cup of milk. A boy from her class, Allen, answered the doorbell. Darn — Jolene had hoped that Allen's sister Isabel would answer. Allen and Jolene had never liked each other much. Allen said they didn't have any milk either. Jolene knew he was lying but, saying nothing, she left and continued on to the next house.

Select the correct text in the passage. Which part of the passage provides details that are also in the image? from The Talkative Tortoise There was once a wise person who became an adviser to a king who was very talkative—so talkative that when he was around, no one had an opportunity to say a word. At that time, there also lived a tortoise in a pond in the Himalayas, who made friends with two young wild ducks. One day, the ducks said to the tortoise, "Friend tortoise, the place where we live, at the Golden Cave on Mount Beautiful in the Himalayan country, is a delightful spot. Will you come there with us?" The tortoise asked, "But how can I get there?" "We can take you if you can only hold your tongue and say nothing to anybody," replied the ducks. "Oh! That I can do. Take me with you," said the tortoise. And making the tortoise bite hold of a stick, the ducks took the two ends in their teeth and flew up into the air. Some villagers called out and said, "Two wild ducks are carrying a tortoise along on a stick!" The tortoise who had difficulty keeping quiet wanted to say, "If my friends choose to carry me, what is that to you!" When the tortoise opened his mouth to say the words, he let go of the stick he was biting and fell down and got hurt. The king, who saw this happen, asked his adviser, "How come he has fallen here?" The adviser replied, "The tortoise must have wanted to say something, let go of the stick, fallen down from the sky, and thus got injured." The king understood the adviser's words and learned to listen to others.

Lexie, an eight-month-old black Labrador retriever, is sleeping quietly at my feet. I can’t help but think that her soft, velvety ears and alert brown eyes would make her the perfect “doggie model” for pet magazines and pet store ads. However, Lexie will soon have a much more important job to do. In a few months, she will become the loyal companion and service dog for a young man who has been blind since birth. She will help him board public transportation, such as buses, subways, and trains, and she will help him safely cross busy intersections. Lexie will even help the young man avoid obstacles, such as high curbs and low overhangs. Like all dogs in our organization, Lexie has undergone months of specialized training to help a visually impaired person lead an active and independent life.

Colony Collapse Disorder

In 2006, beekeepers throughout the United States began to notice something new—and troubling. Adult honeybees, known as worker bees, were disappearing from their hives, seemingly abandoning them. Few or no dead bees were found in the hives, while the queen and larvae were alive and well but without the swarm of worker bees that typically attended them to keep them alive. What had happened?

The phenomenon became so widespread that it soon received a name, Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) . There was no denying that CCD was a problem; after all, American agriculture depends on the work of honeybees and other pollinators. At least three-quarters of the crops grown in the United States depend on honeybee pollination for their survival. These include such staples as strawberries, blueberries, apples, broccoli, asparagus, and almonds. Without them, both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer.

But what is causing this problem? Scientists have rigorously studied a variety of possible causes, ranging from genetically modified crops to climate change to cell phone towers. Sadly, nothing has shown to be the cause of the problem. The most likely culprits are pathogens, or disease-causing organisms. These have been found in larger numbers in colonies affected by CCD than in those unaffected. But these pathogens have included various viruses and bacteria, some found in greater concentrations in different parts of the country. If CCD is caused by a single disease, identifying that disease will be difficult.

The CCD epidemic is most likely the result of multiple causes—pathogens, poor nutrition, pesticides, lack of genetic diversity, and habitat loss. Efforts to prevent colony loss have been mildly successful. The number lost has declined each year since 2008. But until a solution to this problem is found, CCD will remain a concern that will threaten not only the future of bees, but also of the people who rely on the food that they help produce.

Question 1
Part A

Which inference can be made about the cause of CCD in “Colony Collapse Disorder”?


It is very complex and will be challenging to overcome.

It will impact humans and affect their health in the future.

It is a threat that needs to be identified as soon as possible.

It affects bees most seriously but threatens other pollinators also.

Part B

Which statement from "Colony Collapse Disorder" best supports the answer in Part A?


“The CCD epidemic is most likely the result of multiple causes—pathogens, poor nutrition, pesticides, lack of genetic diversity, and habitat loss.”

“Without [honeybees], both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer.”

“The most likely culprits are pathogens, or disease-causing organisms.”

“Scientists rigorously studied a variety of possible causes, ranging from genetically modified crops to climate change to cell phone towers.”

Read this excerpt adapted from “A Brave Lad.” This story originally appeared in Chatterbox, a book of stories edited by J. Erskine Clarke.

Which line from the story supports the idea that Fred is a courageous boy?

It was Saturday afternoon when the boys of Wedderburn School went off as usual to swim their boats on a beautiful lake. Fred Langton had a new boat, which his grandfather had sent to him as a birthday present. It was a larger and better-constructed boat than any of the others. Each boy was, of course, eager that his own boat should win the race. Although all the boys admired Fred's boat and wished that they could have had one as good, they felt no grudge towards Fred himself. In fact, he was a general favorite in the school. He was kind-hearted, unselfish, and always willing to give anything that he had to his companions.

“I tell you,” said Bill Cowan to his own particular chum, Joe Morris, “that boat of Fred's will beat ours all hollow! I wish I had one as good!”

“Well, suppose it does win,” replied Joe Morris, “I shall not grudge it to him, for Fred is no sneak; he is out-and-out the jolliest fellow in Wedderburn School.”

“So he is,” said Bill Cowan, “and no mistake about it. Well, here we are at the lake, and now for some fun.”

On this particular Saturday, however, Fred was going to become famous in quite another way. The little boats were all in full sail, and the schoolboys were shouting with glee at the fun. Suddenly a fox-terrier took it into his head to chase the boats and show that he could swim as well as they could. Poor dog! It was quite true that he could swim. Unfortunately he got caught among weeds. He began struggling in the water and barking for help.

“Oh, I say, I can't stand this!” cried Fred Langton; “he will be drowned. I must go in and fetch him out!”

“No, no!” cried Bill Cowan; “the lake is quite deep just at that place.”

“Yes, I know it's deep,” added Joe Morris, “and, besides, you can't swim, Fred; don't be silly. Who cares for a dog being drowned?”

“I do, for one,” cried Fred, and dashing into the water he waded out to where the poor dog was half-standing, half-lying, among the choking weeds. Yes, the water was deep; but stretching out his arms he contrived to catch hold of the poor animal, and he quickly waded back to shore amid ringing cheers from all the people who had now gathered on the bank to watch the plucky lad. And whose was the dog? Nobody knew; it seemed, indeed, to have no owner and no home. But Fred and his companions carried it back with them to the school, and, after having told their tale, they begged the head master to keep it for himself. As Dr. Williams could not discover anything about the dog's ownership, he did keep it. So Fred's brave deed not only saved the animal's life, but procured a good home for it as well.

A Taste of Korea
Elizabeth Kibler

1Standing near the window, Joshua viewed the moving vans pull up next door. He couldn’t wait to meet his neighbors. Joshua saw a boy his own age hop out of the truck. Walking outside, Joshua waved to his new neighbors.

2Joshua boldly walked up to the young man and shot a hand out in front of him. The young man looked like he did not know what to do with Joshua’s outstretched hand. Joshua scooped up the young man’s hand and shook it vigorously. While looking down at his shoes, the young man quietly introduced himself as Dong Soo.

3Over the next few weeks, Joshua and Dong Soo became great friends and did almost everything together. Because the young men were so drastically different, their friendship surprised some people. Joshua was sociable; he loved cracking jokes and playing tricks. Dong Soo, however, was quiet and calm. He thought for a long time before speaking.

4Sometimes Joshua and Dong Soo had difficulty understanding each other. Some days at school Dong Soo ate a lunch that, to Joshua, didn’t look edible—or maybe it looked just barely safe to eat. Joshua was sure he would never eat it. Dong Soo explained that, because he was Korean, he ate foods that other kids at school might not. Sometimes Joshua played pranks on his older brother. Dong Soo was horrified at what he saw as his friend’s thoughtless and imprudent actions.

5Joshua thought it was important to know what would offend Dong Soo and his family. Therefore, understanding his friend’s culture was vital. Joshua asked Dong Soo to tell him about the Korean culture. Dong Soo suggested that they start with food. He explained that food was very important in Korean culture. For instance, Koreans would never sit down in front of a television while eating a meal. To Koreans, meals are more than mere nourishment—they are a way to show manners.

6Joshua was enthralled by these ideas; he eagerly asked his friend to teach him more. Dong Soo promised to teach Joshua much more about his culture and how it influences his life. Dong Soo set the table with many bowls and pairs of intricately designed chopsticks. Dong Soo taught Joshua how to hold the chopsticks and how to properly eat rice. Joshua’s mind swam trying to remember the rules, so he asked Dong Soo how he remembered.

7Dong Soo explained to Joshua that his traditional Korean background influenced his life in many ways. He told Joshua that table manners were just one of the many things he was taught. Dong Soo was used to the ways of his culture that he did not have to think about them. Dong Soo told his friend that it was easy to feel isolated and alone when you are different from some people; however, he was happy that Joshua made him feel so accepted.

8“How did you like your first taste of Korea?” Dong Soo asked with smile.


23)
Why does Dong Soo act the way he does?
A) He wants to fit in at his new school.
B) He does not want to be like other kids.
C) He wants to act just like his friend Joshua.
D) He was raised in a traditional Korean family.

24)
Why did Joshua look out of his window?
A) He was afraid of his new neighbors.
B) He watched the moving vans next door.
C) He wanted to see his friend, Dong Soo.
D) He wondered if he should visit his friend.

25)
How did Joshua overcome his difficulties with Korean food?
A) Dong Soo made him eat his lunch.
B) Korean food held no interest for him.
C) He loved to eat anything that was gross.
D) He was interested in Dong Soo and Korea.

26)
What does this story teach us about differences?
A) being different is bad
B) being different is the end of a friendship
C) it is difficult to get along with people who are different from you
D) it is possible to learn new things from someone who is different from you

27)
Dong Soo feels happy at the end of passage because
A) he has a friend who makes him feel accepted.
B) he knows the rules and customs of his culture.
C) he usually feels different from everyone else.
D) he likes to show others how to use chopsticks.
