Supporting Biliteracy
There are many good reasons to learn a second language. A second language can improve your understanding of your native language, open the door to new job opportunities, and help you learn about other cultures. Yet American students are less likely than European students to study foreign languages in school. To address this gap, several states have begun doing more to encourage biliteracy—the ability to read and write in two languages. California, New York, and Illinois are among the states that have passed laws establishing a state "Seal of Biliteracy." A Seal of Biliteracy shows that a student has achieved proficiency in a second language. Supporters of the seals say that they honor the importance of second-language learning. The seals also provide colleges and future employers with evidence of students' abilities.

What is the main idea of the passage?

Although second-language learning is important, students in the United States are less likely than those in Europe to learn a second language.

Fewer American students than European students learn a second language, so some states are promoting the study of foreign languages.

Part B
What do the following lines reveal about Ebenezer Scrooge’s character?

“Under the impression that they scarcely furnish Christian cheer of mind or body to the multitude,” returned the gentleman, “a few of us are endeavouring to raise a fund to buy the Poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth. We choose this time, because it is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt, and Abundance rejoices. What shall I put you down for?”

“Nothing!” Scrooge replied.

“You wish to be anonymous?”

“I wish to be left alone,” said Scrooge. “Since you ask me what I wish, gentlemen, that is my answer. I don’t make merry myself at Christmas and I can’t afford to make idle people merry. I help to support the establishments I have mentioned—they cost enough; and those who are badly off must go there.”

“Many can’t go there; and many would rather die.”

“If they would rather die,” said Scrooge, “they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”

Read "Evening" by Paul Laurence Dunbar.


"Evening"


The moon begins her stately ride

Across the summer sky;

The happy wavelets lash the shore,—

The tide is rising high.


Beneath some friendly blade of grass

The lazy beetle cowers;

The coffers of the air are filled

With offerings from the flowers.


And slowly buzzing o'er my head

A swallow wings her flight;

I hear the weary plowman sing

As falls the restful night.

With the beginning of the Space Shuttle program in the 1980s, it became vital to improve the food and methods of eating and drinking in space since astronauts could spend 30 days aboard. The new food system included hot and cold water dispensers, a pantry, and an oven. Astronauts are able to choose meals in advance, though meals are repeated about every week. In addition, the space shuttle includes individual-sized packets of mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, and hot sauce for seasoning. The space food system has improved drastically since its beginning days of tubes and bite-sized, dehydrated foods. As space missions become longer, the program will undoubtedly make new advances.

Read this excerpt from "Mars: Landscape of the Red Planet."

In addition to its volcanic landscape, Mars also has an amazing system of canyons known as the Valles Marineris. Scientist have ruled out water as the reason for the formation of these canyons. Instead, they theorize that the canyons were formed from the splitting of the Martian crust due to the cooling of the planet. Valles Marineris runs 2,500 miles long at a depth of 4 miles, dwarfing the Grand Canyon back on Earth, which is only 500 miles long and 1 mile deep.

Canyons on Mars appear to have been formed by the splitting of the Martian crust. However, canyons on Earth were most likely formed by

the impact of asteroids causing damage to the surface.
water flowing through rivers over long periods of time.
earthquakes causing parts of Earth’s crust to rise up.
the rising of hot magma from deep inside Earth’s core.
