Read the following passage “The Evolution of the Hot Dog.” Then answer five questions based on the passage.
The Evolution of the Hot Dog
The variety of ethnic groups that call America home is clearly reflected in the
foods that Americans eat. We love spaghetti and pizza. We devour sushi, tacos, and
egg rolls. We crave chocolate. We drink coffee and tea on a daily basis. Americans
have become quite skilled at taking the food of one culture and making it part of
5 their own. Even when Americans invent a dish, the recipe often derives from the
recipe or dish of another nation. Such is the case with the hot dog. Many people
believe the hot dog was invented in America. Its roots are actually somewhere else.
A hot dog is made of pieces of beef, pork, or turkey stuffed inside a casing or
skin. This casing makes the hot dog a kind of sausage, and sausages are not a new
10 food. They date as far back as the 9th century B.C. when Homer mentions them in
his epic poem The Odyssey. The northern Europeans perfected sausages. In fact,
two cities quarrel over which one gave birth to the wiener. Frankfurt, Germany,
claims to have developed the frankfurter in 1487, while Vienna (Wien), Austria,
declares that the wiener originated in its fair city long before that time.
15 A wiener by itself, however, is not a hot dog. To be called a hot dog, the wiener
needs a bun. The Germans ate bread with their wieners, but they did not place the
wieners inside buns. That invention came about in America during the 1800s—by
German immigrants! The bun allowed people to hold the sausage while walking.
No one knows who first put a sausage into a bun, but in the 1860s German
20 immigrants began selling them from food carts on the streets of New York City.
The new snack was a success. In 1871 Charles Feltman sold almost four thousand
sausages-in-rolls at Coney Island, the beach and fairgrounds most famous for
popularizing the hot dog.
The invention of the hot dog preceded the name. The first hot dogs were called
25 “dachshund sausages,” named for the German breed of dog that looks like a wiener.
How the name changed to “hot dogs” is uncertain. However, since the new name
was short and easy to remember, it quickly became a part of the American
vocabulary. By the 1890s the term “hot dog” could be found in a Yale University
newspaper.
30 In 1893 hot dogs became associated with baseball. Chris von der Ahe, a German
immigrant who owned the St. Louis Browns, began selling hot dogs at his games.
Thus began the tradition of having a hot dog or two at the ballpark.
Many legends exist about the invention of the hot dog. One of them tells of a cold
April day in 1900 at the New York City Polo Grounds. Harry Stevens was selling
35 ice cream and cold drinks; however, because of the cold weather, he was not selling
very much. Then he had an idea. He grilled German sausages, sold them in rolls,
and called them “red hot dachshund sausages.” T.A. Dorgan, a well-known
cartoonist, bought one. The next day he drew a cartoon of a dachshund in a roll,
thus immortalizing the hot dog.

40 Another legend claims that Antoine Feuchtwanger was selling sausages at the
1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. He loaned gloves to customers so that they could hold
their sausages without making a mess. Because many customers never returned the
gloves, Feuchtwanger came up with the idea of having a baker make rolls for the
sausages.
45 By the twentieth century, hot dogs had become a regular snack or even meal for
Americans. In 1939 President Roosevelt served the visiting king of England, King
George VI, hot dogs because he wanted the king to experience a uniquely American
dish.
If one is to experience American cuisine, the hot dog must be on the menu. Hot
50 dogs are as American as the Fourth of July. In fact, the two often go together. Hot
dogs are popular because they are inexpensive and easy to eat. The average
American eats eighty hot dogs a year. How many hot dogs do you eat in a year?

Read the following passage “Getting a Smile from a Stone.” Then answer five questions based on the passage.
Getting a Smile from a Stone
Jake’s introduction to the cousin he had never before met was awkward. To begin
with although she was Jake’s age, she was a girl. While Jake had plenty of friends
who were girls, his friendships with them formed more slowly than with boys.
Adding to his discomfort were his and his cousin’s very different backgrounds.
5 Maura Harding had come all the way to Great Rock, Wyoming, from Port City, Virginia.
She had come to live with Jake and his family while her parents spent a
year in Africa. Maura’s parents were professors of archeology and had received a
fellowship to work on a dig. While they would have liked for Maura to accompany
them, the area had no school nearby. Jake’s parents had invited Maura to live with
10 them and attend Jake’s school.
Jake’s mother had warned him that Maura might be shy and homesick at first.
Jake tried asking Maura about herself and what she liked to do. Maura answered
politely and even joined him in activities with his friends. When she did, she was
friendly enough, but Jake noticed that Maura rarely smiled and often seemed sad.
15 His mother attributed her behavior to missing her friends in Virginia and her
parents. Jake’s father thought Maura was uncomfortable living with strangers, as
none of them had met her before. Jake felt as if something else was bothering her.
Maura had been with them a week when a large, battered package came in the
mail for her. Jake eagerly called her to come open it. To his surprise, Maura eyed
20 the package sadly. “What’s wrong?” Jake asked. “Aren’t you going to open it?”
“I already know what it is,” Maura replied with a sigh.
“Well, I don’t, but I’d like to,” said Jake.
“Okay,” said Maura, as she began unwrapping the box. “It’s my doll house,” she
explained. “I don’t play with it anymore, but I wanted to bring something special to
25 remind me of home. I’ve always loved this dollhouse because my grandfather made
the house and all the furniture. But look,” she continued, “most of the furniture is
broken, just as I feared. My dad saw that the box was dropped when it was being
loaded onto the plane. When I called my parents to say I’d arrived here safely, he
told me what had happened and that there was likely to be lots of damage.”
30 “I’m sorry, Maura,” Jake said sincerely. “Maybe your grandfather can make new
furniture.”
“No,” she said, “with his arthritis he can’t carve anymore. All I’m left with is
c-r-u-n-c-h,” Maura said, making a painful grinding sound for the last word.
Now Jake understood Maura’s sadness. He had a similar treasure that meant a lot
35 to him. His treasure was a soccer player statue that his Uncle Will had carved from
a granite rock they had found together. He and Uncle Will loved rocks, and stone
carving was his uncle’s hobby. He was teaching Jake how to carve.

Suddenly, Jake had an idea. Leaving Maura to inspect the damage to her doll
house, he went into the den, closed the door, and made a telephone call.
40 The next day Jake rose early, explained his plan to his mother over breakfast, and
then set out on his bike. He returned several hours later just as his mother was about
to call everyone to lunch. Quickly, he set a small package at Maura’s place.
“What’s this?” a puzzled Maura asked as she sat down.
45 “Open it and find out,” Jake’s mother said, winking at Jake.
“Oh!” said Maura as the paper fell away to reveal a miniature chair carved from
stone. “It’s beautiful!”
“It’s for your doll house,” said Jake. “If you like it, Uncle Will said he’d help me
make more furniture out of the rocks we’ve collected together. I know it’s not the
50 same as your grandfather’s, but you still have the house he made and maybe the
stone furniture will remind you of us when you go back home,” Jake added hopefully.
“Oh yes, Jake, it really will!” exclaimed Maura. “I love it. Can I watch you and
your uncle work sometime?”
Jake basked in Maura’s praise, but there was something else that he appreciated
55 even more—seeing Maura’s face light up in a real smile.
9 From which of the following sentences from the
passage can the reader infer that Jake wants to
figure out Maura’s sadness?

Read the following passage “The Not-So-Simple Stone.” Then answer five questions based on the passage.
The Not-So-Simple Stone
When I was young, my grandma’s attic was a treasure-trove—
A dim and dusty trail of trunks and books;
Of all the things she showed me there, the one I came to love
Seems silly if you judge it by its looks.
5 One day we climbed her attic stairs and stood before a desk
And from its drawer, she took a simple stone.
It didn’t gleam or sparkle—it was less than picturesque;
But I stared, stunned, at how her blue eyes shone.
She held the stone inside her fist, then placed it in my hand—
10 A queen bestowing a princess a jewel;
She told me the stone had sailed all the way from Ireland
Where her grandma had lived and gone to school.
“I’m giving you this stone,” she said, “so you can have a part
Of earth I’ve never walked upon or seen.”
15 I knew she’d kept the place alive, imagined in her heart—
A hilly land all carpeted in green.
Years have since passed; I still keep safe her story and the gift
She shared that autumn day with me alone;
It whispers low its secrets, and my mood it can uplift:
20 This small and precious, not-so-simple stone.

Read the following passage “Dream Another Dream.” Then answer six questions based on the passage.
Dream Another Dream
Thwack! The volleyball soared over the net, landing just inside the court
boundary.
“Good, Hailey!” Hailey’s mother called, retrieving the ball. “Your serving has
improved tremendously. Time to quit now, though. We need to start dinner.”
5 “Aw, Mom,” Hailey pleaded, “just a few more. I still can’t serve the ball over
the net every time the way Sarah does, and tryouts start tomorrow. I need as much
practice as I can get. I’ve been dreaming all summer of making the team.”
“Exhaust your arm today, and you won’t do well tomorrow,” her mother
replied. “You’ve practiced all summer. You’re as prepared as possible. Now it’s
10 time to rest and see what happens.”
“I suppose you’re right,” said Hailey.
The next day, Hailey’s mother was surprised to see the coach walk out of the
locker room with Hailey and Sarah. All three looked solemn. “What’s the matter,
honey?” her mother asked, noticing Hailey’s tear-stained face. “Did something go
15 wrong?”
“She did beautifully until she hurt her elbow diving for the ball,” the coach
reported quietly. “Don’t worry though. The team doctor said her arm will be fine,
but he says she must rest it for two weeks to prevent further injury. Unfortunately,
tryouts will be over by that time.”
20 After thanking the coach, Hailey’s mother said, “Come on, sweetheart. Let’s go
home and tend to that elbow.”
“Sorry we won’t be playing together,” called Sarah. “I’ll play hard for both of
us,” she added in her best-friend way.
In the car Hailey burst out, “It’s not fair, Mom! I trained all summer, and now I
25 won’t be on the team.”
“I know you’re disappointed,” her mother sympathized, “but you can’t risk
injuring your arm further. Besides, not playing volleyball will give you more
time to focus on ballet, which has always been your first love. Auditions for The_
_Nutcracker are three weeks from Saturday; and now that you’re twelve, you
30 qualify to try out for a solo part. Maybe you’ll get the part of Clara. You know
you’ve dreamed about that role since you first saw The Nutcracker when you were
three years old.”
“Not likely,” said Hailey dejectedly. “Ms. Anders will give that part to one of
the taller girls who will outgrow the role next year. I’d need to have an incredibly
35 successful audition to get that part. As volleyball tryouts showed, the only thing
I’m incredible at is failing!”

“Now, Hailey, that’s not true!” her mother exclaimed. “In fact, part of your
problem is that since you so rarely fail at anything, you don’t know how to handle
disappointment. You took up volleyball after Sarah introduced you to it. The
40 game challenged you more than most things. If not for your injury, I think you’d
have had a good chance of making the team. For you, dancing is a natural talent,
and you’ve been aiming toward that role for years. If you don’t get the part, you
know the reason has to do with your size, not your dancing ability. Whether or not
you get that dream role,” said her mother firmly, “you will positively NOT be a
45 failure.”
Hailey thought about her mother’s words. After a few days when her arm felt
better, she began to practice dancing. By the Saturday audition, she knew the part
of Clara backwards and forwards. “Good luck,” Mom called, dropping Hailey off
at the dance studio, “but remember, no matter what happens, you are an excellent
50 dancer!”
Two hours later, Hailey’s mother greeted her daughter as she charged from the
studio smiling brilliantly. “I got it, Mom! I got it! I’m one of the waltzing flowers.
Can you believe it? I made my dream come true!”
Hailey’s mother hid her surprise. “Honey, that’s wonderful. Congratulations!”
55 Hailey looked closely at her mother, as though she were reading her mother’s mind.
“Oh, Mom,” she said, giving her mother a hug, “I don’t have to be Clara. Just
being able to dance in The Nutcracker is a dream come true!”

Read the following passage “Dear Aunt Olivia.” Then answer five questions based on the passage.
October 23, 2007
Dear Aunt Olivia,
When I got home from school today, I was surprised to find a large package
waiting for me. Opening the package to find so many special toys from the past
was thrilling. Thank you so much for the wonderful old-fashioned toys!
5 I enjoyed playing with your toy collection last summer. The old toys you have
gathered over the years are so much fun. Toys have changed quite a bit since you
were young. Modern toys have every kind of special effect you can imagine. I still
think the old toys are better than the new ones. You must have remembered how
much I liked them. I was serious when I said I would like to start a collection of
10 old toys, too.
Now, thanks to you, my toy collection is off to a great start. The wooden yoyo
is definitely my favorite. It is so simple and well made. I only have to jerk my
wrist, and the yoyo flows up and down from my hand. It is the smoothest yoyo I
have ever tried. The yoyo is one toy that has not changed much over the years.
15 Some newer yoyos may make sounds and have flashing lights, but none of them
flow as smoothly from my hand as this one. The yoyo is like part of my own
body!
Another one of my favorites is the set of wooden blocks. The carved alphabet
letters and painted pictures on the sides still look great. I had some plastic blocks
20 when I was younger, but they were nothing like these. The wooden ones are very
special.
The metal train and truck are great, too. Even though the paint has worn away
over time, these heavy little vehicles were built to last. Like the blocks, the train
and truck have many special details. They also have parts that resemble real trains
25 and trucks. I can just imagine little children playing with these many years ago.
I showed Mom the old slide whistle and kazoo you sent me. They look a little
like the recorders we used to play in music class. She told me to tell you,
“Thanks, Sis!” She had a funny look on her face when she said that. I guess she
does not appreciate the music I have been playing around the house all afternoon.
30 I cannot wait to show my antique toy instruments to my music teacher tomorrow.
Mom said I may take them to school to share with my music class. I wonder what
my teacher will think of them.
Finally, thank you for the beautiful china set with the delicate blue flowers
painted on the dishes. I have always wanted a real tea set. The flowers look as if
35 they were painted by hand. Mom said she would help me wash my tea set after
dinner. Then we will have a tea party! I can hardly wait!
Thank you so much for the toys. You have made me one very happy young toy collector!
