Read this passage from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

"I should like to buy an egg, please,” she said timidly. "How do you sell them?”

"Fivepence farthing for one—Twopence for two,” the Sheep replied.

"Then two are cheaper than one?” Alice said in a surprised tone, taking out her purse.

"Only you MUST eat them both, if you buy two,” said the Sheep.

"Then I'll have ONE, please,” said Alice, as she put the money down on the counter. For she thought to herself, "They mightn't be at all nice, you know.”

The Sheep took the money, and put it away in a box: then she said "I never put things into people's hands—that would never do—you must get it for yourself.” And so saying, she went off to the other end of the shop, and set the egg upright on a shelf.

"I wonder WHY it wouldn't do?” thought Alice, as she groped her way among the tables and chairs, for the shop was very dark towards the end. "The egg seems to get further away the more I walk towards it. Let me see, is this a chair? Why, it's got branches, I declare! How very odd to find trees growing here! And actually here's a little brook! Well, this is the very queerest shop I ever saw!”

The tone of this passage is best described as

2. Why does the sexton try to try to prevent the narrator from entering the burial grounds?

Mt. Pleasant School was on one hill, Hillside was across A long, green field of cool, fresh grass, perfect for lacrosse. When winter storms embraced the land, these rivals claimed the snow. The feud between them grew as fierce as a lion, the snow they would forgo. Tired of the quarrel, Tucker, Billy, and Joanne Met with their Hillside enemies to formulate a plan. An epic snowball battle would decide the war for land. The conquerors would claim it; the defeated would be banned. At last it was the evening of the legendary fight. Mt. Pleasant versus Hillside schools—who would win that night? Tucker, Billy, and Joanne met in the field at six To create a strong snow fort made from icy bricks. Hillside functioned as a team to build a mighty wall. It grew so tall and powerful that it amazed them all. Mt. Pleasant students were concerned—their fort had many cracks, So secret windows were prepared for surprise attacks. Both teams had made their forts. Small snowballs were prepared. Both teams huddled in their forts, terrified and scared. Both teams waited for their foes and peeked above snow doors. Both teams threw their snowballs. Both teams dodged the lobs of war. Suddenly, Joanne dashed out, racing through the fray Toward some snowballs piled high—but foes kept her at bay. Next, Joanne hurled snowballs through secret window gaps. Snow flew both ways—Joanne had snow in her face and lap. Leaders slipped, great walls collapsed, and snowballs fell from heights, Until supplies ran out and all could see the starry sky. For minutes long, two foes had played together on the field. A truce was called, new friends shook hands, and the rift was healed. How many stanzas are in the poem?

Blue-Screen Technology
The camera rolls as an actor stands in front of a blue screen. The actor stands alone, saying his lines. However, when you see the actual movie, he is talking to a formidable seven-foot-tall monster in a creepy dark forest. A process called blue-screen technology is used to insert images into a background. Today, moviemakers use this process to combine digitally created, or computer-generated, characters with real people on the screen. Here’s how it works:
The scene calls for a real character to interact with a seven-foot-tall digitally created monster. First, the real character’s part must be filmed. He may rehearse with another actor who plays the part of the monster. During the rehearsal, the “monster” might wear a tall hat to represent the stature of the monster. The real actor practices looking at the top of the hat during the scene so that is seems that he is looking up at a very tall creature. The actor gets used to where the monster stands and moves. The monster’s movements are marked on the floor so that the actor doesn’t walk on top of the monster during the scene. Then it is time for the scene to be shot. The actor stands alone in front of a blue screen and delivers his lines as if the monster were there. Eventually, the blue background is deleted, using a computer, and images of the digital monster and background are then transferred to the film.

Which of these steps is second in the blue-screen process?
a.
The real character rehearses his part with another character playing the monster.
c.
The blue background is deleted, using a computer, and images of the digital monster and background are then transferred to the film.
b.
The scene is shot.
d.
none of the above

Read the following paragraph:

"The 'marshmallow test' was developed in the 1960’s as a way to understand personality traits. In the test, preschoolers were given a marshmallow, then told they would get two marshmallows if they didn’t eat the first one while the researcher left the room for a few minutes. At the time, researchers thought that the children who held out for a second treat had greater willpower.

"However, a new investigation suggests that the marshmallow test didn’t really measure willpower after all. When researchers tried the experiment again, they found that the decision to eat or wait had more to do with economic background than personality. Children from poorer families were more likely to eat the first marshmallow than wait, perhaps because in their experience the future is uncertain. Wealthier children found it easier to hold out, perhaps because they had more expectation that their needs would always be met."

A. What is the implied main idea of this reading?


B. Research experiments are not reliable.


C. The results of scientific studies should be interpreted cautiously.


D. Wealthy people have more willpower than poor people.


Some kids like marshmallows more than others.
