READING COMPREHENSION

(30 MIN)

Directions:

In

this

section

there

are

four

reading

passages

followed

by

a

total

of

20

multiple-choice

questions.

For

each

of

them

there

are

four

choices

marked A,

B, C

and D.

You

should decide on the best choice.

(1)I was sure that I had found at last the one true cosmopolite since Adam, and I listened to

his worldwide discourse fearful lest I should discover in it the local note of the mere globe-trotter.

But

his

opinions

never

fluttered

or

drooped:

he

was

as

impartial

to

cities,

countries

and

continents as the winds or gravitation. And as E. Rushmore Coglan prattled of this little planet I

thought with glee of a great almost-cosmopolite who wrote for the whole world and dedicated

himself to Bombay. In a poem he has to say that there is pride and rivalry between the cities of

the earth, and that

cities?

hem

as

a

child

to

the

mother?

s

gown.

And

whenever

they

walk

roaring

streets

unknown

they

remember

their

native

city

faithful,

foolish,

fond:

making

her

mere- breathed

name

their

bond

upon

their

bond.

And

my

glee

was

roused

because

I

had

caught Mr. Kipling napping. Here I had found a man not made from dust: one who had no narrow

boasts

of

birthplace

or

country,

one

who,

if

he

bragged

at

all,

would

brag

of

his

whole

round

globe against the Martians and the inhabitants of the Moon.

(2)Expression on these subjects was precipitated from E. Rushmore Coglan by the third corner

to our table. While Coglan was describing to me the topography along the Siberian Railway the

orchestra

glided

into

a

medley.

The

concluding

air

was

and

as

the

exhilarating

notes

tumbled

forth

they

were

almost

overpowered

by

a

great

clapping

of

hands from

almost

every

table. I hastened to ask him a question because I wanted to try out a theory I had.

(3)

—

(4)The fist of E. Rushmore Coglan banged the table and I was jarred into silence.

(5)

s a question I never like to hear asked. What does it matter

where

a

man

is

from?

Is

it

fair

to

judge

a

man

by

his

post- office

address?

Why,

I?

ve

seen

Kentuckians who hated whiskey, Virginians who weren?

t descended from Pocahontas, Indianians

who hadn?

t written a novel, Mexicans who didn?

t wear velvet trousers with silver dollars sewed

along

the

seams,

funny

Englishmen,

spendthrift

Yankees,

cold-blooded

Southerners,

narrow-minded

Westerners,

and

New

Yorkers

who

were

too

busy

to

stop

for

an

hour

on

the

street to watch a one- armed grocer?

s clerk do up cranberries in paper bags. Let a man be a man

and don?

t handicap him with the label of any section.

(6)

and when the band plays ?

Dixie?

I like to observe. I have formed the belief that the man who

applauds

that

air

with

special

violence

and

ostensible

sectional

loyalty

is

invariably

a

native

of

either Secaucus, N. J. , or the district between Murray Hill Lyceum and the Harlem River, this city.

I was about to put my opinion to the test by inquiring of this gentleman when you interrupted

with your own

—

larger theory, I must confess.

(7)

ve been around the world twelve times,

s a mighty little old world. What?

s

the use of bragging about being from the North, or the South, or the old manor house in the dale,

or

Euclid

avenue,

Cleveland,

or

Pike?

s

Peak,

or

Fairfax

County,

Va.

,

or

Hooligan?

s

Flats

or

any

place? It?

ll be a better world when we quit being fools about some mildewed town or ten acres of

swampland just because we happened to be born there.

(8)

seem

to

be

a

genuine

cosmopolite,

I

said

admiringly.

it

also

seems

that

you

would decry patriotism.

(9)

relic

of

the

stone

age,

declared

Coglan,

warmly.

are

all

brothers

—

Chinamen,

Englishmen, Zulus, Patagonians and the people in the bend of the Kaw River. Some day all this

petty pride in one?

s city or State or section or country will be wiped out, and well all be citizens of

the world, as we ought to be.

(10)

E.

R.

Coglan,

flippantly.

hunk of matter, slightly flattened at the poles, and known as the Earth, is my abode. I?

m not tied

down to anything that isn?

t 8,000 miles in diameter. Just put me down as E. Rushmore Coglan,

citizen of the terrestrial sphere.

(12)My cosmopolite made a large adieu and left me, for he thought he saw someone through

the

chatter

and

smoke

whom

he

knew.

I

sat

reflecting

upon

my

evident

cosmopolite

and

wondering how the poet had managed to miss him. He was my discovery and I believed in him.

How was it?

(13)My meditations were interrupted by a tremendous noise and conflict in another part of

the cafe. I saw above the heads of the seated patrons E. Rushmore Coglan and a stranger to me

engaged in terrific battle. They fought between the tables like Titans, and glasses crashed, and

men caught their hats up and were knocked down, and a brunette screamed, and a blonde began

to sing

(14)My cosmopolite was sustaining the pride and reputation of the Earth when the waiters

closed in on both combatants with their famous flying wedge formation and bore them outside,

still resisting.

(15)I called McCarthy, one of the French garcons, and asked him the cause of the conflict.

(16)
