If you're dreaming of hitting the slopes on a snowboard, your first stop
will be at a shop to rent or buy gear. Most importantly, of course, you'll
need a board. Unlike skiing, snowboarding requires both feet to be
strapped to one board, which gives riders more of a toe-to-heel motion
than a side-to-side one. Beginning snowboarders should be
professionally fitted for boots as well as a board, since proper fit can
make a big difference in how quickly you pick up the sport.
Snowboarders must also wear a helmet in a terrain park, where there
are jumps and rails, and many choose to wear a helmet on regular hills
as well. You should also wear warm, comfortable clothing. Once you
have all this equipment from your board to your mittens, you'll be
ready to start your life on the slopes!
Which best states the central idea of the passage?
A. Terrain parks can cause injury, but helmets help prevent this.
B. Because snowboarding is a winter sport, riders need to have warm
clothes
C. Specific equipment is needed in order to take up snowboarding
D. Snowboarding uses a different motion than skiing, as well as
different gear.

Read the excerpt from The Miracle Worker by William Gibson.

CHILDREN: [DELIGHTED] There’s another present! Beatrice! We have a present for Helen, too! Give it to her, Beatrice. Here, Annie!

(This present is an elegant doll, with movable eyelids and a momma sound.)

It’s for Helen. And we took up a collection to buy it. And Laura dressed it.

ANNIE: It’s beautiful!

CHILDREN: So don’t forget, you be sure to give it to Helen from us, Annie!

ANNIE: I promise it will be the first thing I give her. If I don’t keep it for myself, that is, you know I can’t be trusted with dolls!

Select the excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller that shows Helen’s viewpoint of this event.

A. My aunt made me a big doll out of towels. It was the most comical shapeless thing, this improvised doll, with no nose, mouth, ears or eyes—nothing that even the imagination of a child could convert into a face.

B. The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. The little blind children at the Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had dressed it; but I did not know this until afterward.

C. One day, while I was playing with my new doll, Miss Sullivan put my big rag doll into my lap also, spelled "d-o-l-l" and tried to make me understand that "d-o-l-l" applied to both. Earlier in the day we had had a tussle over the words "m-u-g" and "w-a-t-e-r."

D. Dr. Bell advised my father to write to Mr. Anagnos, director of the Perkins Institution in Boston, the scene of Dr. Howe's great labours for the blind, and ask him if he had a teacher competent to begin my education.
