Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Since September 11, more than 51,000 people have volunteered with the American Red Cross to help the New York, Washington, D. C and Pennsylvania areas recover from one of the most devastating disasters in United States history. Three months later, more than 1,000 relief workers continue to respond. Almost 700 of those are volunteers from across the nation who have chosen to leave their families during the holidays to provide comfort and assistance to others. lean Amarante, Disaster Health specialist for the Southeastern Michigan Chapter of the Red Cross is one of many who will be in New York City to ring in the New Year by assisting in the relief efforts."It's always been important for me to spend the holidays with friends and family, said Jean Amarante. "But this has been an extraordinary year. It's more important for me to help the people who have been through so much hardship..”Amarante will be serving as a Health Service technician in New York. She is one of sixteen Red Cross disaster workers from southeast Michigan who have been sent to help with the relief efforts. Amarante will spend the next few weeks providing for the physical health needs of Red Cross clients, personnel and recovery workers at Ground Zero instead of being at home with her family over the holiday.“This is the first time that I will have been away from my family during the holida ys,” said Amarante, "but the holidays are about giving, and this is what we could give as a family.”in Red Cross care teams continue to assist families who lost loved ones with financial needs and take the difficult steps toward recovery. Caseworkers are also assisting hundreds of people each day, providing millions of dollars to help people whose businesses and homes were affected.The September 11 response is the largest in Red Cross history, and the Red Cross will continue to be there for the victims for the months and years to come. The Red Cross has served 12.8 million meals and snacks, provided crisis counseling for more than 194, 800 individuals, and has provided families whose members died in the event with more than $92 million in cash grants to help with time-sensitive living expenses.1.

We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of year, or manured a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, and on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battles the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized.Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently-this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done- is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And it has not only won, but, because it has won, has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.This is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or mutilated. And while today it is true that people f\do not fight and kill each other in the streets-while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life-nations and countries have not learned to do this, yet, and still behave like savages.6. In the opening sentence, the author says that .[A] most history books were comprised by conquerors, generals, and soldiers[B] hardly anyone who gave an actual impetus to civilization is mentioned in history books[C] history books convey far more information about conquerors than about those who helped civilization forward[D] conquerors, generals and soldiers should be least mentioned in history books7. In the author’s opinion, the countries that conquered a large number of other countries are .[A] certainly both the most powerful and most civilized[B] neither the greatest nor the most civilized in any way[C] possibly either the most civilized or the mightiest in a way[D] likely the mightiest in some sense but not the most civilized8. The meaning of the last sentence in Paragraph 2 is that .[A] those who fight believe that winner is right and the loser wrong[B] only those who are mighty have the right to go to war[C] those who are right should fight against those who are wrong[D] in a war only those who are powerful might win the right to rule over their enemies9. “Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history.” The aut hor says this in order to show that our own age is .[A] different from those of the past [B] not much better than those of the past[C] much better than those of the past [D] not so civilized as those of the past10. The word “conquerors” in Line 2 most probably means .[A] fighters [B] losers [C] winners [D] failuresPart B D B C A DDirections:Read the texts in which five people are talking about the celebration of Christmas.

Kara Lee OlsonProbably my favorite Christmas tradition growing up was doing Advent together as a family the four weeks prior to December 25. Each Sunday we gathered around the table and lit a candle in the Advent wreath- one candle for each week, until all the candles were lit. After lighting the candle, my dad read Scriptures to us that specifically related to the birth of Christ.Vanessa MyersOne of my favorite holiday traditions is the decorating of the Christmas tree. Each year, we enjoy hot apple cider and molasses cookies as we decorate, With Christmas music playing in the background, we all hang our own ornaments or on the tree, Memories flood over me as I unpack ornaments from Christmases past. I remember competing with my older brother to see who would get to put their ornament on the highest branch of the tree! Sometimes my sugar plum fairy won, and sometimes his soldier won.Valerie MuellerEvery year after Christmas dinner, we take time in our celebration to read through the Christmas story. Typically, the grandchildren act out the story in costume as one of the adults or older grandchildren reads the story right out of the Bible. This not only allows the younger children to be involved, but also helps bring the story to life again for each of us as we visualize what took place on that special night so many years ago.Jesus Amy SmithOur Christmas is especially special because one of my sisters was born on Christmas! To make sure that her birthday didn't get lost in the midst of so many presents, we always saved Christmas night to celebrate her birthday so that she still felt special. Of course the most important birthday on Christmas is the birthday of Jesus! One of our favorite holiday traditions has been to make a birthday cake for Jesus. Early Christmas morning, we would all go to the kitchen, light the candles on the cake, and sing happy birthday to Jesus!Kimberly VogrinOver the last twenty years, we have enjoyed the tradition of making Christmas cards together. We have made many different types of cards using rubber stamps, embossing, calligraphy, sketching, or the computer.
