excerpt from "A Cooking Revolution: How Clean Energy and Cookstoves Are Saving Lives" by Chef José Andrés, June 7, 2016

Cooking: it's a simple act that has brought families around the world together for thousands and thousands of years.

As a chef, I can think of few things more beautiful than that. However, I also know how deadly such a simple act can be , not only to our health, but to our environment.

Think about it: For Americans, turning on the stove means simply turning a knob or switch. For people living in developing countries, particularly women and children, it means hours of collecting fuels like firewood, dung, or coal to burn in a rudimentary, smoky cookstove or over an open fire. The result is a constant source of toxic smoke that families breathe in daily, causing diseases like child pneumonia, heart disease, and lung cancer ,  not to mention taking a child away from her education.

In fact, diseases caused by smoke from open fires and stoves claim 4.3 million lives every year. That's more than AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined.

And the environment suffers, too. When people collect wood every day from their local forests to create charcoal or fuel for wood-burning stoves, it creates an unsustainable pace of deforestation that leads to mudslides, loss of watershed, and other environmental consequences. These stoves also contribute up to 25 percent of black carbon emissions, a pollutant that contributes directly to climate change.

You see, from what we cook to how we cook, our food connects with our lives on so many levels. That's why having access to better technology and clean energy for cooking is as equally important as the ingredients in the food being prepared.

It's also why I'm proud to support an effort to bring clean cookstoves and fuels to millions of people in developing countries.

Together with the United Nations, the U.S. government, and partners around the world, the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves focuses on working with local communities and organizations to develop a market for cookstoves and fuels that significantly reduce emissions, cook more efficiently, and fit with local customs and culture....

The Obama administration's investment goes a long way toward achieving our goal of bringing access to clean cookstoves and fuels to 100 million households in places like China, Guatemala, Kenya, and India by 2020.

Just last month, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced his plan to connect 50 million Indian families to clean cooking gas over the next three years. This is an important step being taken at an unprecedented scale, and it could help protect the lives of millions, while also improving India's environment.

That's powerful, people! Mothers can be healthier. Young girls have more time to go to school. Forests grow again. People can feed themselves without risking their lives to cook a meal.

That's what we can accomplish by providing clean cookstoves and fuels. And that's a simple act that can change the world for years and years to come.

Explanation:

The phrase that best describes the purpose for the author describing India's plan is to hopefully garner more external support and funding so that the program of getting cooking stoves to more families in developing countries can be achieved.

From the excerpt, the author talked about the dangers of gathering firewood to light up and cook and some of the dangers include deforestation, health problems (sometimes leading to death due to inhalation of smoke) and less time for children to go to school.

By describing India's plan, the author is hoping to get more external support and funding so the plan can be expanded.

Read these sentences from Hafiza's essay comparing biographies and autobiographies.

One difference between biographies and autobiographies is immediately noticeable: the narrator's point of view. Biographies are written from a third-person perspective, while autobiographies are written from a first-person perspective.

Which quotations from Enrique's Journey provide evidence supporting Hafiza's point that this text is a biography? Select two options.

-"The Iron Worm squeaks, groans, and clanks—black tankers, rust-colored boxcars, and gray hoppers winding north on a single track that parallels the Pacific coast."
-"Enrique's palms burn when he holds on to the hopper. He risks riding no-hands. Finally, he strips off his shirt and sits on it."
-"Enrique's head throbs. The sun reflects off the metal. It stings his eyes, and his skin tingles. It drains the little energy he has left."
-"About two hundred street gangsters in Chiapas share the rolling criminal enterprise. Father Flor María Rigoni, the priest at the Albergue Belén migrant shelter, counts nineteen groups."

Which statement best compare Nora and Mrs. Linde’s traits?

Mrs Linde: Listen to me, Nora Dear. Haven’t you’ve been a little bit imprudent?

Nora: [sits up straight] is it imprudent to save your husband’s life?

Mrs. Linde: It seems to me imprudent, without his knowledge, to—

Nora: but it was absolutely necessary that he should not know! My goodness, can’t you understand that? It was necessary he should have no idea what a dangerous condition he was in. It was to me that the doctors came and said that his life was in danger, and that the only thing to save him was to live in the south. Do you suppose I didn’t try, first of all, to get what I wanted as if it were for myself? I told him how much I should love to travel abroad like other young wives; I tried tears in and treaties with him; I told him that he ought to remember the condition I was in, and that he ought to be kind and indulgent to me; I even hinted that he might raise alone. That nearly made him angry, Christine. He said I was thoughtless, and that it was his duty as my husband not to indulge me in my whims and caprices— as I believe he called them. Very well, I thought, you must be saved— and that was how I came to devise a way out of the difficulty—

Mrs. Linde: and did your husband ever get to know from your father that the money had not come from him?

Nora: no, never. Papa died just at that time. I had meant to let him into the secret and beg him never to reveal it. But he was so ill then—alas, there never was any need to tell him.

Mrs. Linde: and since then have you never told your secret to your husband?

Nora: good heavens, no! How could you think so? Imagine who has such strong opinions about these things! And besides, how painful and humiliating it would be for Torvald, with his manly independent, to know that he owed me anything! It would upset our mutual relations all together; our beautiful happy home will no longer be what it is now.


(A) Nora believes that lying with good intentions is fine, while Mrs. Linde believes that lying to one’s husband is wrong.

(B) Nora believes that it is never prudent for a wife to tell her husband what she does with money, while Mrs. Linde thinks that only small lies are acceptable.

(C) Mrs. Linde is a spendthrift, well Nora is frugal with the money she is giving a report back to her husband about every penny.

(D) Mrs. Linde is frugal and dishonest, while Nora spends a lot and is honest with her husband about where she gets money for extras.

Read the passage from Animal Farm.

There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. She knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. Whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of Napoleon. But still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled. It was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of Jones's gun. Such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them.

.Read the excerpt from "The Crab That Played with the Sea."

Then the little girl-daughter put up her little soft brown arms with the beautiful white shell bracelets and said, ‘O Eldest Magician! when my father here talked to you at the Very Beginning, and I leaned upon his shoulder while the beasts were being taught their plays, one beast went away naughtily into the Sea before you had taught him his play.

And the Eldest Magician said, ‘How wise are little children who see and are silent! What was the beast like?’

And the little girl-daughter said, ‘He was round and he was flat; and his eyes grew upon stalks; and he walked sideways like this; and he was covered with strong armour upon his back.’

And the Eldest Magician said, ‘How wise are little children who speak truth! Now I know where Pau Amma went. Give me the paddle!’

So he took the paddle; but there was no need to paddle, for the water flowed steadily past all the islands till they came to the place called Pusat Tasek—the Heart of the Sea—where the great hollow is that leads down to the heart of the world, and in that hollow grows the Wonderful Tree, Pauh Janggi, that bears the magic twin nuts. Then the Eldest Magician slid his arm up to the shoulder through the deep warm water, and under the roots of the Wonderful Tree he touched the broad back of Pau Amma the Crab. And Pau Amma settled down at the touch, and all the Sea rose up as water rises in a basin when you put your hand into it.

‘Ah!’ said the Eldest Magician. ‘Now I know who has been playing with the Sea;’ and he called out, ‘What are you doing, Pau Amma?’

And Pau Amma, deep down below, answered, ‘Once a day and once a night I go out to look for my food. Once a day and once a night I return. Leave me alone.’

Then the Eldest Magician said, ‘Listen, Pau Amma. When you go out from your cave the waters of the Sea pour down into Pusat Tasek, and all the beaches of all the islands are left bare, and the little fish die, and Raja Moyang Kaban, the King of the Elephants, his legs are made muddy. When you come back and sit in Pusat Tasek, the waters of the Sea rise, and half the little islands are drowned, and the Man’s house is flooded, and Raja Abdullah, the King of the Crocodiles, his mouth is filled with the salt water.’
