Even though they were sisters, Suzie and June were nothing alike. If Suzie wanted to jump rope,
June wanted to play hopscotch. If June wanted to watch soap operas, Suzie wanted to watch talk
shows. Tensions rose to the point that the girls could no longer stand one another’s company. It
seemed that they had nothing in common, until the day that progress reports went home. On the
bus the girls were startled by how upset the other looked. They realized that they were both
failing a subject. Suzie was failing math and June was failing reading. Since both girls wanted to
pass their classes, they agreed to help one another. So after school for the next few weeks, Suzie
tutored June in reading and then June tutored Suzie in math. By the time report cards were
distributed, Suzie and June were passing all their classes. The girls were delighted, but their
mother was happiest of all. Not just because her daughters had passed their classes, but because
they learned to be good sisters.

All Victor ever wanted to do with his life was be a singer. He didn't pay attention in school, and
he spent all his time at home listening to music and impersonating his idols. His mother tried to
teach him the value of getting an education and having a backup plan. But Victor would respond
the same way every time, "Mom, I won't need to know any of that boring old stuff when I'm
famous. You'll see." There was one major problem with Victor's plan: he wasn't any good at
singing. Victor enjoyed singing so much that he didn't notice the pained look on the faces of
those who endured his singing. Some lied to him and said they liked his singing. Other people
told him to find something else to do with his life. Victor accused those people of being "jealous
haters" and ignored their advice. Soon Victor dropped out of high school to focus on his music
career. The years passed and the doors never opened.

Read this excerpt from "A Drop in the Bucket."

In one of the Smithsonian’s curation rooms, she carefully places "Diane France's brain" on a table and props it up around the edges with clay. But the clay doesn't stick to the table, and the brain loses its shape. That's no good.


Next, she tries putting the brain in a pan and smooshes clay around the inside edge of the container. Still no good.


Finally, after more trial and error, Diane grabs a stainless steel bowl—just like the one in her kitchen—and presses clay in a ring around the curved bottom. She adds a layer of formalin-soaked paper towels to keep the bottom of the brain damp. Then, she carefully nestles the brain in the ring. It works! The brain holds its shape as she coats the top with a liquid form of silicone rubber. The rubber hardens to make one-half of a mold.

Which detail from the excerpt identifies a problem?

“But the clay doesn’t stick to the table, and the brain loses its shape.”
“Next, she tries putting the brain in a pan and smooshes clay around the inside edge.”
“She adds a layer of formalin-soaked paper towels to keep the bottom of the brain damp.”
“Finally, after more trial and error, Diane grabs a stainless steel bowl.”

a A queen in opal or in ruby dress,
b nameless girl in freshest summer-greens,
b saint, an angel; -every canvass means

a The same one meaning, neither more nor less.

d And she with true kind eyes looks back on him,
