Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics.

The bagel data also reflect how much personal mood seems to affect honesty. Weather, for instance, is a major factor. Unseasonably pleasant weather inspires people to pay at a higher rate. Unseasonably cold weather, meanwhile, makes people cheat prolifically; so do heavy rain and wind. Worst are the holidays. The week of Christmas produces a 2 percent drop in payment rates—again, a 15 percent increase in theft, an effect on the same magnitude, in reverse, as that of 9/11. Thanksgiving is nearly as bad; the week of Valentine’s Day is also lousy, as is the week straddling April 15. There are, however, a few good holidays: the weeks that include the Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Columbus Day. The difference in the two sets of holidays? The low-cheating holidays represent little more than an extra day off from work. The high-cheating holidays are fraught with miscellaneous anxieties and the high expectations of loved ones.

Read the following paragraph.
Students attending schools with mandatory uniform policies experience less pressure than do students who
must choose their wardrobes. This is because school uniforms allow students and their parents to save
money
and time. The financial investment in uniforms at the beginning of the school year is far more
economical than the purchase of an entire wardrobe
of designer clothes and trendy styles. Students who do
not have to deliberate what to wear each morning are able to invest their
time in more productive ways, such
as studying for tests or finishing homework. Uniforms may stifle students' self-expression, but there
other ways to reveal one's individuality at school.

Read the excerpt from "Water Flowing from Toilet to Tap May Be Hard to Swallow.”

The processes at Orange County and most other plants that clean the water include microfiltration that strains out anything larger than 0.2 microns, removing almost all suspended solids, bacteria and protozoa.

After that comes reverse osmosis, which involves forcing the water across a membrane, which removes other impurities, including viruses, pharmaceuticals and dissolved minerals. A zap with powerful ultraviolet light and a bit of hydrogen peroxide disinfects further and neutralize other small chemical compounds.

But after all that, 13 percent of adult Americans say they would absolutely refuse to even try recycled water, according to a recent study in the journal Judgment and Decision Making. "A small minority of people are very offended by this, and can slow it down or stop it because of legal and political forces,” said Paul Rozin, a psychology professor at the University of Pennsylvania who studies revulsion and a co-author of the study.

Opponents of reusing water have long had the upper hand, said Paul Slovic, a professor of psychology at the University of Oregon, because of the "branding problem.”

Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 100."
Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,
Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?
Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem
In gentle numbers time so idly spent;
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen both skill and argument.
Rise, resty Muse, my love's sweet face survey,
If Time have any wrinkle graven there;
If any, be a satire to decay,
And make Time's spoils despised every where.
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.

O Do not be lazy; we are all running out of time.

Read the two excerpts.

"Remembering to Never Forget: Dominican Republic's 'Parsley Massacre’” by Mark Memmott:

Seventy-five years ago, thousands of Haitians were murdered in the Dominican Republic by a brutal dictator. It was one of the 20th Century's least-remembered acts of genocide.

As many as 20,000 people are thought to have been killed on orders given by Rafael Trujillo. But the "parsley massacre” went mostly unnoticed outside Hispaniola. Even there, many Dominicans never knew about what happened in early October 1937. They were kept in the dark by Trujillo's henchmen.

"A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez:

At this point I would always ask her why she and my father had returned to live in the country if they knew the dictatorship was so bad. And that's when my mother would tell me how, under pressure from his friends up north, Trujillo pretended to be liberalizing his regime. How he invited all exiles back to form political parties. How he announced that he would not be running in the next elections. My father had returned only to discover that the liberalization was a hoax staged so that the regime could keep the goodwill and dollars of the United States.

My father and mother were once again trapped in a police state.

How do the passages work together to develop a central idea?

The passages show how Alvarez’s family was affected by the parsley massacres when they returned.
The passages show how Alvarez and her family were tricked into returning to the Dominican Republic.
The passages show how people often did not know or understand the extent of Trujillo’s deceit.
The passages show how the events of Trujillo’s dictatorship are still not fully understood today.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

In the 1400s, Spain and Portugal were competing to explore down the coast of Africa and find a sea route to Asia. That way, they could have the prized Asian spices they wanted without having to pay high prices to Venetian and Muslim middlemen. Spanish and Portuguese sailors searching for that sea route conquered the Canary Islands and the Azores. Soon they began building Muslim-style sugar plantations on the islands, some of them staffed by slaves purchased from nearby Africa. One sailor came to know these islands particularly well because he traded in "white gold"—sugar. And then, as he set off on his second voyage across the sea to what he thought was Asia, he carried sugar cane plants from Gomera, one of the Canary Islands, with him on his ship.

His name was Christopher Columbus.

How do the details in the passage most support the central idea?

The details emphasize Christopher Columbus’s role in spreading sugar to the New World.
The details explain how Venetian and Muslim middlemen were able to control the sugar trade.
The details compare Spanish and Portuguese sugar plantations to those of Muslim farmers.
The details describe how Spanish and Portuguese explorations helped expand the sugar trade.
