Reading Comprehension

( 25 minutes )

Section A

There are two things I have always wanted to do

—

write and live on a farm. Today

I’m doing both. I am not in E. B. White’s class as a writer or in my neighbors’ league as a farmer,

but I’m getting by. And after years of

21

with city and suburban living, my wife Sandy and I

have finally found

2

2

here in the country.

It’s a

23

sort of life. We

grow nearly all of our fruits and vegetables. Our hens keep us in eggs, with several dozen left over

to sell each week. Our bees provide us with honey, and we cut enough wood to just about

24

it _____ the heating season.

It’s a

25

life too. In the summer we canoe on

the

river,

go

picnicking

in

the

woods

and

take

long

bicycle

rides.

In

the

winter

we

ski

and

26

.

We

get

excited

about

sunsets.

We

love

the

27

of

the

earth

warming

and

the

sound

of

cattle

lowing.

We

watch

for

hawks

in

the

sky

and

deer

in

the

cornfields.

But the good life can get pretty tough. Three months ago when it was 30 below, we spent two

28

days hauling firewood up the river on a sled. Three months from now, it will be 95 above

and we will be

29

corn, weeding strawberries and killing chickens. Recently, Sandy and I

had to retile the back roof. Soon Jim, 16 and Emily, 13, the youngest of our four children, will help

me

make

some

long-overdue

improvements

on

the

outdoor

toilet

that

30

our

indoor

plumbing when we are working outside. Later this month, we’ll spray the orchard, paint the barn,

plant the garden and clean the hen house before the new chicks arrive.

A) self-reliant

B) frustration

C) contentment

D) satisfying

Section B

Passage One

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate

positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon

them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom, and spent the

first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses

now in offices, and our men unfortunately miss that beneficial branch of business education. But

if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the

future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It dose not hurt the newest

comer

to

sweep

the

office

if

necessary.

one

of

those

sweepers
