“I just don’t think your grades are strong enough to get you into Stanford, Charlene. Why don’t you shoot for the state college?”
The college counselor’s office was making Charlene more claustrophobic by the minute, as she struggled to process Mr. Martin’s words. Not strong enough to get into Stanford? she thought to herself. Still in a daze, she thanked him feebly and went to meet Rhonda in the cafeteria.
“Look, you’ve still got almost a year before the application deadline,” Rhonda reminded her when she heard her story. “I’ve seen you on the basketball court. You’re a fighter, so get out there and prove Mr. Martin wrong! ”
Something in her friend’s words hit home for Charlene. Mr. Martin may be the “expert,” but he didn’t know what she had inside, what she was capable of—and neither did she. So she’d spend the next nine months discovering exactly that. Day by day, week by week, Charlene worked to excel. On the basketball court, she was all focus and determination, dazzling her teammates and winning the coach’s praise. She threw herself into her studies, but she also volunteered at an animal shelter on the weekends and became active in various school clubs. “Well-rounded” was what she figured Stanford wanted, and that’s what she intended to deliver.
The next spring, when the acceptance letter arrived on Stanford letterhead, along with a basketball scholarship, she opted against waving it in Mr. Martin’s face. The news reached him through the grapevine, and he sent her a congratulatory note. Years later, on a visit home, she stopped in to Mr. Martin’s office and thanked him for expressing his doubt in her abilities which ultimately made her work that much harder to get into Stanford.

Read this passage from Dragonwings by Laurence Yep.

I had been in the demon land for only ten months, so it would have been about January of the demons' year 1904, when we met Mr. Alger. I remember it was a gray, wintry day. We were making the rounds when we saw one of the horseless carriages stranded by the sidewalk and a demon in a big overcoat standing beside it. His driving cap was pushed back, and he was scratching his forehead in a puzzled way. The metal hood on the front of the horseless had been folded back on top so you could see into its innards.

"Whoa, Red Rabbit." Father pulled at the reins and Red Rabbit stopped. Father set the brake, and as an extra precaution he put the wooden block behind the wheel.

"Can I help?" he asked.

The demon was a big, cheerful-looking demon with a bland, round face. He eyed father. "I dunno, John." Many demons called Tang men John because, they insisted, they never could get the hang of our real names. "You know anything about horselesses?"
Which detail from the setting leads Father and the man to communicate?
A. the broken-down horseless carriage
B. the gray, wintry day
C. the man’s cheerful-looking face
D. the horse, Red Rabbit

Excerpt from A Study in Scarlet
By Conan Doyle

In the year 1878 I took my degree of Doctor of Medicine of the University of London and proceeded to Netley to go through the course prescribed for surgeons in the army. Having completed my studies there, I was duly attached to the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers as Assistant Surgeon. The regiment was stationed in India at the time, and before I could join it, the second Afghan war had broken out. On landing at Bombay, I learned that my corps had advanced through the passes and was already deep in the enemy’s country. I followed, however, with many other officers who were in the same situation as myself, and succeeded in reaching Candahar in safety, where I found my regiment, and at once entered upon my new duties. The campaign brought honors and promotion to many, but for me it had nothing but misfortune and disaster. I was removed from my brigade and attached to the Berkshires, with whom I served at the fatal battle of Maiwand. There I was struck on the shoulder by a Jezail bullet, which shattered the bone and grazed the subclavian artery. I should have fallen into the hands of the murderous Ghazis had it not been for the devotion and courage shown by Murray, my orderly, who threw me across a pack-horse, and succeeded in bringing me safely to the British lines. Worn with pain, and weak from the prolonged hardships which I had undergone, I was removed, with a great train of wounded sufferers, to the base hospital at Peshawar. Here I rallied, and had already improved so far as to be able to walk about the wards, and even to bask a little upon the verandah, when I was struck down by enteric fever. For months my life was despaired of, and when at last I came to myself and became convalescent, I was so weak and emaciated that a medical board determined that not a day should be lost in sending me back to England. I was dispatched, accordingly, in the troopship “Orontes,” and landed a month later on Portsmouth jetty, with my health irretrievably ruined.
