As audio technology changes, so do the ways people listen to music. When music was mostly on vinyl albums, those large discs called records, music listening happened at home. The turntable used to play albums is not very portable. Eight-track tapes made listening to music in the car possible. Then devices got smaller, and music became even more portable. The invention of the Walkman portable cassette player meant a person could carry music everywhere. Portable CD players were also easy to carry. However, they often skipped if they were bumped. MP3 players are still relatively new and are the most portable music option of all. A person with an MP3 player can carry as much as 40 days worth of music at once and never have to worry about the music skipping.

Which sentence from the paragraph supports the idea that music became more portable as audio devices got smaller?

"The invention of the Walkman portable cassette player meant a person could carry music everywhere.

"As audio technology changes,so do the ways people listen to music."

"The turntable used to play albums is not very portable."

Camp David is a secure location where the President can get away from it all. Established in 1942 by President Roosevelt, Camp David is located in Maryland, about 70 miles from Washington, D.C. in a heavily wooded area. U.S. Marines patrol the area providing optimal security. The Marines are part of the Navy. Because Camp David is so close to Washington, the president can be back at the White House very quickly in the event of a crisis.

This passage is mostly about...

the president

Washington, D.C.

In the past 10 years, public consumption of bottled water has grown a lot. A decade ago, very few people drank much bottled water. Now, studies estimate that about 200 bottles of water per person are consumed every year. However, all that bottled water is causing a lot of problems. First of all, very few of the bottles are being recycled. About 60 million bottles of water are consumed daily. There just is not enough room for all that garbage. Secondly, bottled water is actually less safe than tap water. Government safety requirements are much stricter for tap water. A large percentage of bottled water comes straight from city water supplies, anyway! And, surprisingly, tap water often beats bottled water in taste tests.5.

Which sentence from the paragraph supports the idea that bottled water is causing a lot of problems?

"There is just not enough room for all that garbage."

About 60 million bottles of water are consumed daily.

"A decade ago, very few people drank much bottled water."

Part of the pride of being an American comes from the fact that most people that want jobs have jobs. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes, as happened in 2008, the economy slows down, and jobs become harder to find or keep. Businesses make less money and so can keep fewer people employed. Those people who lost their jobs then have less money to spend. Because they have less money to spend, other businesses make less money, and then they, too, have to cut workers. In the United States, these cycles always end and the economy recovers, but it can take a while.

Which of these best describes the main idea of this paragraph.

When buinesses lose money, their workers must find other jobs.

The slowing of the economy starts a cycle that causes job losses.

Americans willfind a way to have jobs if they want them.

The characteristics of a hurricane are powerful winds, driving rain, and raging seas. Although a storm must have winds blowing at least 74 miles an hour to be classified as a hurricane, it is not unusual to have winds above one hundred and fifty miles per hour in a major hurricane. The entire storm system can be five hundred miles in diameter, with lines of clouds that spiral toward a center called the "eye." Within the eye itself, which is about 15 miles across, the air is actually calm and cloudless. But this eye is enclosed by a towering wall of thick clouds where the storm's heaviest rains and highest winds are found.

NEXT

What is the main idea presented in this passage?

Hurricaines are more destructive than tornadoes.

Hurricanes have very dangerous characteristics.

Hurricanes have winds of at least 74 miles an hour.

During hard times, it is important to be open-minded. There are always ways to make money outside of a formal job, if a person is willing to do things he or she wouldn’t normally do. A computer programmer, for example, might not be able to find work as a computer programmer. However, if the programmer is good with his or her hands, he or she may be able to find work in construction. Lawns never stop growing, and many aspects of life do not stop just because the economy has slowed down. A person who lost a job at a supermarket may be able to mow lawns for money, or do many other things.

NEXT

Which sentence from the passage supports the idea that it is important to be open-minded during hard times?

"In the United States, these cycles always end and the economy recovers, but it can take a while."

"At the store where the installer used to work, the store would have made most of the money."

"However, if the programmer is good with his or her hands, he or she may be able to find work in constgruction."

excerpt from The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler "I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. That is clear. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, we all are seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness. . . ." With these words, spoken before a large audience in Arizona, the Dalai Lama cut to the heart of his message. But his claim that the purpose of life was happiness raised a question in my mind. Later when we were alone, I asked the Dalai Lama. . . ."

Based on the above passage, what might the narrator ask the Dali Lama next?

Would you please repeat that?

George had never been outside his own hometown before. But that didn't stop him from dreaming. On Saturdays, when all the other boys were out at the park playing football, George was at the library gathering books, magazines, and articles. It didn't matter what place. Fiji. The Bahamas. The Virgin Islands. Guatemala. Peru. Nepal. He paid less attention to the names of the places than he did to the details of what life might be like there. He imagined walking down the backstreets and alleys of rural China, passing old hunched-over men, peasants carrying pails of manure, street vendors selling mysterious concoctions, and children squatting at the side of the road watching as the foreigner passed by.

Based on this passage it is reasonable to predict that

George will one day explore foreign lands.

George will join a football team.

George will become a librarian.

A dog was out walking one day carrying along his favorite bone in his mouth. He was trotting happily along when he came to a bridge. As he crossed the bridge, he looked over the side at the river that flowed below. When he looked closer, he saw a second dog looking up at him. He noticed that the second dog had a much bigger bone than he did! The first dog became anxious. He decided that he wanted the bigger bone for himself. He crouched closely to the water and placed his mouth near the edge of the river. He was getting himself ready to snatch the bigger bone from the second dog's mouth. The first dog opened his mouth to bark, which caused his bone to fall with a splash as it fell into the river. The first dog sat there puzzled. The big bone had disappeared. Both he and the second dog looked upon each other sadly. adapted from "The Dog and Its Reflection" by Aesop

Which of the following can be concluded from the passage?

The dog will be more careful in the future

Dogs, especially sniffer dogs, have a far better sense of smell than humans because their smell receptors are much longer than those in human noses. Human noses differ from person to person, but they can affect the way a person tastes food. Sniffer dogs are used by police and security personnel throughout the world to detect drugs in airports and other busy places. They are specially trained and can pick up even the lightest scents of drugs or firearms.

This passage is mostly about

drug sniffing dogs

human noses

smell receptors

Some people think that listening to country music is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Others would much rather jam out to hip-hop or rap music. And, of course, there will always be those who think rock music is king. Even though most people have the opportunity to listen to many types of music, they usually end up with a favorite. No one knows exactly why people have particular music tastes. Of course, the environment has something to do with it. If a girl’s big brother loves hip-hop, then she will often hear it. She may end up liking it, or she may end up hating it. People often say, “There is just no arguing taste.” In the case of music, this is definitely true.

Which of these sentences from the paragraph supports the idea that no one knows what causes a person's musical tastes?

"She may end up liking it, or she may end up hating it."

"If a girl's big brother loves hip-hop, then she will ofteh hear it."

"Some people think thta listening to country music is one of life's greatest pleasures."
