Read the following article and answer the question. Article: "Tom!" There was no answer. "Tom!" Still no answer. "Where's that boy gone? Tom!" The old lady looked all around the room. She looked under the bed, but found only the cat. "If I catch that boy, ..." she murmured to herself. She opened the door and looked out into the garden. "Tom!" she shouted. Then she heard a slight noise behind her. She turned round just in time to catch the boy as he came out of a cupboard. "And what have you been doing in there?" "Nothing," said the boy. "Nothing! Look at your hands and your mouth! What is that stuff?" "I don't know, Aunt." "Well, I know. It's a jam. I've told you forty times that if you touched that jam, I'd _ you. Give me that stick." "Look out, Aunt! Look behind you!" The old lady turned round and Tom was out of the door in a flash, over the garden fence and away. "Damn that boy! Will I never learn? He's always playing tricks on me. And he seems to know just now how far he can go, too. But I can't take a stick to him. I really can't. After all, he's my dead sister's boy. Ah well, he'll play truant today and I'll have to make him work tomorrow." At supper Aunt Polly tried to trick Tom into admitting that he hadn't gone to school. "It was rather hot today, wasn't it, Tom?" "Yes," answered Tom. "You didn't have to open your shirt collar where I sewed it, then." Tom was confident, now. He opened his jacket. His collar was securely sewed. "Oh Tom," said Aunt Polly. "You're a good boy really." She was sorry that she had been wrong about him. "But Aunt," came a voice. It was Sidney, Tom's younger brother. "Didn' t you sew Tom's collar with white cotton? Look! Now it's black. Tom was already running out of the door. ---The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain Question: Which of the following words can be best used to describe Tom? Answer:

Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Officials of the Chicago Transit Authority said they were investigating. The child, Nicole Hobson, was being taken by her mother to Children's Memorial Hospital about 11 P. M., Wednesday to check her recently inserted pacemaker. The child was stricken about a mile from the hospital. Her mother, May Hobson, 40, said, "I told the bus driver that my baby had just had heart operation and that she was having a heart failure. He said he couldn't go through the traffic." Ted Garretson, 28, a passenger who had tried to bring back Nicole's life, said the driver did nothing to help and stopped once to pick up more passengers. When the driver reached a corner where he was to make a turn, a block from the hospital, he told Mrs. Hobson to get off, she said. A transit spokesman said the driver should have made radio call to the control center for help. Question: A pacemaker is _ . Answer:
OPTIONS:

Read the following article and answer the question. Article: A little stress is good, since it helps you keep motivated to meet your goals. However, too much stress is bad for your health. Stress needs to be managed in order to prevent anxiety . Here are some tips on how to manage stress. Write it out Write down everything that seems stressful, and ways to deal with each problem. You'll find a things-to-do list much easier to manage than having all messed up in your head. Write down the tasks along with the specific times when you can do them. One task at a time Give each task all your attention while you're doing it, and forget the rest. This will keep you from feeling anxious about things you have left to do. Thinking about other tasks only adds unnecessary stress, and can even stop you from doing the task you're busy with at present. You don't need to do everything all at once, or on your own. The feeling of being pressed to finish something on time will somehow disappear if someone is there to help you. Give yourself a reward Rewarding yourself for what you've already done, no matter how small, is a great way to motivate yourself to keep going. It will reduce stress, and make you happier to go on with the next task. Give yourself a break Breaks of ten to fifteen minutes are important. Visit a cafe or take a quick walk --anything to take your mind off the work for a while. If you need to stay at work, sit with your eyes closed and imagine a peaceful place or some other relaxing scenes. This will remove the stress from your muscles and mind. Question: The best title for the passage would probably be _ . Answer:
OPTIONS:
- Stress Is Good or Not
- How to Form Good Working Habits
- Tips on How to Manage Stress
- Ways to Keep Healthy
