Sean always rode his bicycle home from school. He did so when he was tired or when he was late, or even when it was raining. The sun was shining through the little clouds on this particular day, and Sean was peddling his way home. He did not notice Ralph Kairns ride up alongside him.
"Hey, Sean, how's it going? You mind if I ride with you?" Ralph asked.
"Of course not, Ralph. What's going on?" Sean responded.
"I'm kind of freaked out," Ralph said. "These two older boys were following me home. I thought if we rode together we'd be safer."
Sean did not like the idea of two older boys following them home, but he had to agree with Ralph, that two was better than one. "Sure, Ralph. I don't mind," he said.
Just as Sean had spoken, the two older boys appeared from an alley ahead. They were headed for them both.
"On second thought," Ralph said, "let's split up! They can't chase us both." He turned and sped off in an opposite direction. Sean was scared, and he started peddling as fast as his legs would allow. He ducked around a bend in the road and coasted up a driveway.
As Sean hopped off his bike, he hid behind a small fence. From that vantage point, he was able to see the two older boys race down the street after him. They had not seen him hide in the driveway. He waited. Time seemed to move slower as Sean listened intently for a sound.
"Sean!"
Sean jumped up, startled at the sound of his name. He looked around.
"Sean, it's me," Ralph whispered from the other side of the fence. "I think you led them away. Great news."
"Yeah, I guess I did," Sean said. "I meant to do that."
"Sure you did," Ralph said. "Let's head home."

Answer 3

The climax of the story happens when
A.Ralph scares Sean by the fence.
B.Sean hides from the two bullies.
C.Ralph appears next to Sean.
D.Sean begins riding his bike home.

Wilson wanted to see the monument but had not anticipated the long set of steps to the terrace where the statue stood. Looking at the steps, his first thought was to wonder if he could do it. Without thinking, he rubbed his chest. The surgeon had said he needed to be careful about the amount of effort he exerted, at least in those first few weeks. Glancing at his wife, he could see that she was doubtful. “Come on, we can take the elevator,” she said. “No,” he said, “I’m too young for that. We can rest if we need to. My heart will never get stronger if I don’t exercise.”

Which of the following can the reader infer from this passage?
A.Most monuments have too many steps.
B.Wilson's wife thinks he is lazy.
C.Wilson has recently had heart surgery.
D.Wilson and his wife are out of shape.

Answer 10

D i believe because they are thinking they are out of shape.

Answer 12

On July 4, 1939, Lou Gehrig gave one of the most famous speeches in sports history. The occasion was “Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day” at Yankee Stadium in New York. Parts of the speech are well known to this day: “Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.” The audio recording of his voice echoing throughout the stadium has been replayed countless times.
The “bad break” Gehrig alluded to in his speech was his contraction of a fatal disease known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. ALS is a neuromuscular disease that attacks nerve cells in the central nervous system, causing paralysis and eventually death. No one knows what causes ALS, and nearly 30,000 people in the United States live with the disease. Because of Gehrig’s extreme celebrity and the tragedy of his death, ALS is commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Before the symptoms of ALS began causing problems for Gehrig, he was one of the greatest baseball players in history. Known as the “The Iron Horse” because of his durability, Gehrig played in 2,130 straight games without an absence. The streak was cut short by Gehrig’s retirement due to ALS. The streak of 2,130 consecutive games stood for 56 years until it was broken by Cal Ripken, Jr. in 1995. Sixty years after he retired, fans made him the leading vote-getter for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team.
Over 70 years later, what many remember about Gehrig is his humbleness. He always recognized that he was, in his own words, “the luckiest man on the face of the earth.” He had been given extraordinary athletic ability and played on one of the greatest baseball teams in history. He had loving, supportive parents and a wife of tremendous bravery. He was able to do what he loved most, play baseball, for 16 seasons. Though he died only two short years after his disease was diagnosed, Gehrig will long be remembered.

Answer 17

Lucy walked the streets of her neighborhood almost every day. She thought of it as her time. It was the most peaceful time of her day, when she allowed her mind to wander. Oftentimes she had interesting ideas, ideas that she could use in her drawings.
Then she heard sirens on a nearby street, she couldn’t tell which one, and suddenly her mind was flooded with worries: Where were her children? Had she left the stove on? What about that space heater, had she remembered to turn it off? The anxiety was overwhelming.
She was amazed at how quickly her mind could shift from peaceful, creative thoughts to raging worries. She picked up the pace, heading in the direction of the sirens. Within a few minutes she arrived at her street and saw that a policeman had stopped someone speeding through the neighborhood. She exhaled and continued walking, only more slowly.

The Widow Fitzhugh Thinks Again
by Teresa Herlinger

CHARACTERS:
CHARLENE DAVIS, a 12-year-old girl
MRS. ELOISE FITZHUGH, an elderly woman

Stage Set: Mrs. Eloise Fitzhugh's modest home, down the block from Charlene's house. Eloise has only recently moved in.

(The lights come up on the widow, ELOISE FITZHUGH, sitting in a rocking chair at stage right. She is reading. She is a lonely and bitter woman with hard edges, but she has a soft heart. Behind her is a bookcase full of books. There is little else in the room except a couch, a small table, and a framed photo of her husband on the wall.)
(The doorbell rings.)
ELOISE: (surprised and a little annoyed) Now who'd go bothering an old woman at this hour? Why, it's almost (peers through her bifocals at her watch) . . . 7 o'clock! (The doorbell rings again, more insistently.) Oh, all right, I'm coming! (crosses stage to open door at stage left to find CHARLENE) Yes, little girl, what is it? (sternly) Speak up, child!
CHARLENE: (afraid) My, my . . . my mother said to give you this (hands her a pie with a towel over it) and to tell you . . . to tell you w-w-welcome to the neighborhood. (CHARLENE stares at her feet.)
ELOISE: (her coldness melting a tiny bit) Well, thank you, child—Tell your mama I'm much obliged. (She holds the pie in her hands, and the two stand in silence for a long, awkward moment.)
CHARLENE: Guess I'll be going, then . . .
(CHARLENE does not move, peers around ELOISE, clearly curious about her house.)
ELOISE: (reluctantly) Well, I guess since you went to the trouble, you could come in and have some pie.
(CHARLENE shyly enters and sits on the couch opposite the rocker while ELOISE goes to the kitchen, offstage, to fix the pie plates. CHARLENE notes the bookcase and gets up to inspect it. She has just pulled out a volume when ELOISE returns, placing the pie plates on the table. CHARLENE drops the book with a thud.)
CHARLENE: Oh, sorry, I didn't mean . . .
ELOISE: (suddenly angry) What are you doing there, snooping in other people's things? (CHARLENE begins to cry as she picks up the book. ELOISE softens.) Oh, never mind, stop your sniveling, there, now, that's a good girl (hands the girl a hankie from her pocket). Now, what book do you have here? (takes the volume from CHARLENE) Oh, Treasure Island, that's one of my favorites. (She holds it like a treasured gift and then slowly hands it back.) Do you . . . want to borrow it?
CHARLENE: (nodding furiously) Oh, yes, thank you!
(The two take their pie plates from the table and sit down—Eloise in her rocker and Charlene on the couch.)
ELOISE: So, you like reading, do you? That's just fine. You know, my husband was a literature professor . . .
(The curtains close.)

Answer 24

Why are stage directions particularly important in this drama?
A. They help show how Eloise and Charlene relate to each other.
B. They demonstrate that Charlene is a fast and loud talker.
C. They help establish what time of day the drama is taking place.
D. They give a sense of how much time has passed in the scene.
