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.
People have to get creative about making money if they lose their jobs. Sometimes, they can use the skills they used at their old jobs to make money independently. For example, people don’t buy many car stereos when the economy is bad. So, car stereo stores have to layoff some of their stereo installers. If an installer has a place to work, that person can install stereos without a store. Often, this person will charge less than the store where he or she used to work. Also, the installer will get to keep all of the money he or she charged. At the store where the installer used to work, the store would have made most of the money.
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.
Most importantly, a person who loses a job must not give up. One’s attitude is very important in determining if he or she will be successful. A hopeful person is more likely to find a new job. Also, a hopeful person will be better able to keep trying new things. A hopeful person, too, can be patient. The jobs will come back. They always do.

Which sentence supports the idea that people can use the skills they used at their old jobs to make money independently?
A.
"So, car stereo stores have to layoff some of their stereo installers."
B.
"If an installer has a place to work, that person can install stereos without a store."
C.
"At the store where the installer used to work, the store would have made most of the money."
D.
"Often, this person will charge less than the store where he or she used to work."

Which evidence is most relevant to Nixon's claim that his spending plans are superior to Kennedy's?

A. "I believe . . . that his program would lead to the stagnation of the motive power that we need in this country to get progress."

B. "I know Senator Kennedy feels as deeply about these problems as I do, but our disagreement is not about the goals for America but only about the means to reach those goals."

C. "Let us understand throughout this campaign that his motives and mine are sincere."


D. "Now, when we look at these programs, might I suggest that in evaluating them we often have a tendency to say that the test of a program is how much you're spending."

In your own words, explain what the speaker means by the statement, “A troubadour upon the elm / Betrays the solitude.” (From the Poem 'new feet within my garden go')

Every day for four years, I would drive to my job, and every day at the same time, on the same route, I would notice the city bus. It would pull up next to me, and I would see all the people on board. Some would be reading. Some would be sleeping. Some would stare back at me. Every day, at the same time, it would follow me right to work. As I pulled into my parking space at work, I would see it around the corner, about a block away from my job. Then, one day, my car broke down. I had no way to get to work, and then, I remembered the bus. I decided to take it since I knew it was on the same schedule as I was. Since then, I have never driven to work again. Taking the bus is a useful method with which to travel because you can save a lot of money by using public transportation.
One reason public transportation is useful is because it saves money. My commute to work was long, and it required a lot of gas. When I drove to work, I was spending $30 a week on gas. There are 52 weeks in a year. That translates to $1,560.00 a year I was spending on gas to get to work. When I started taking the bus, it cost $2 ($1 to get to work and another $1 to get home). Another way to save money is to use the toll road. That translates to $10 a week. That means that it cost me $520 a year to get to work. That's less than a third of what it cost to drive. It saved me $1,040.00. The funny part is that the reason my car broke down in the first place was because I was driving it constantly.

Which statement best supports the main idea of the passage?
A.
The bus costs $10 a week, while driving a car costs $30 a week.
B.
Cars break down when they are not driven all the time.
C.
Toll roads are convenient, fun ways to drive to work and miss traffic.
D.
Driving the toll road to work costs much less than driving in traffic.

Coming Mr. Squrials way is something unbelievable. It haunts him to this day.
It was an Occluded front!
It was the middle of fall when Mr.Squral was gathering food for the winter.
But suddenly, the air became cold, and clouds started to form. "It sure is getting chilly out here. Oh nuts, a rainstorm's here."
"But wait, I can't leave my food out here. They'll get soaked."
While Mr. Squral was debating whether or not to leave his food, it started to rain heavily. "Oh, what to do, what to do."
Five minutes later, the squirrel made the decision to run into shelter.
After three days of non-stop rain, the rain came to a halt. And the squirrel wanted to take a look at his food.
And when he came across them, they were sunken into the mud. And Mr.Squral wasn't having it.
"NOOOOOOO!"

Cook an omelet in just a few easy steps. Begin to prepare the omelet mixture by blending two eggs and a 1/4 cup of milk until smooth. Next, set the temperature of a stovetop burner to medium-high and melt enough butter in a skillet to evenly coat the bottom and sides of the cooking surface. When the butter has just begun to brown, pour in the egg mixture. Allow the mixture to cook until it begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. Gently slide a spatula underneath the omelet at various points to free it from the pan. When the middle of the omelet is no longer runny, turn off the heat and allow the omelet to further solidify. Add your favorite ingredients--fresh tomatoes, cheese, and basil are recommended--and fold the omelet in half. If you know what you're doing, the whole process gives you a tasty breakfast in less than fifteen minutes.

Read the excerpt from "Everest Then and Now."


The first attempt to climb Everest was made by British climbers George Mallory and Guy Bullock in 1921. The pair did not make it to the top of the mountain, nor did the many who made attempts in the several decades that followed. A strange and ambitious quest occurred in 1933. A British millionaire named Lady Houston funded a mission involving a formation of British aircraft that flew over the peak of Everest. Their plan was to drop the British flag on the summit of the mountain. It was the first flight over Everest, but not the first journey to the peak by foot. The first climbers to summit Everest were New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, a local climber from Nepal. A handful of other climbers made a few more successful summits in the decade that followed. On May 1, 1963, Jim Whittaker was the first American to stand atop Everest and look down at the clouds.


How would the information be different if the excerpt were told from a first-person point of view?

1 The author might give his or her feelings about the attempts and might give an opinion about why it was hard for people to reach the summit.

2 The author might give more details about Jim Whittaker's excursion and the challenges he faced while trying to reach the summit.

3 The author might give more details about the type of British aircraft that was used by the millionaire Lady Houston's mission to fly over the summit.

4 The author might give more information about hikers who have reached the summit more recently and what countries they came from.
