[1] I have been studying the French language, with
some consistency, for three years. This field of
study has been, all at once, the hardest and most
rewarding of my life. I would put it above the
study of writing simply because I started writing
as a 6-year-old boy under my mother’s tutelage.1
I
always “felt” I could write. I did not always “feel” I
could effectively study a foreign language.
But here I am, right now, in a Montreal hotel. I
spoke French at the border. I spoke French when
I checked in. I spoke French when I went to get
lunch. I don’t really believe in fluency.2
If there is
such a thing, I don’t have it. I mishear words. I
confuse tenses. I can’t really use the subjunctive. Yet.
Something has happened to me and the something is this — I have gotten better. I don’t know when I
first felt it. I didn’t feel it this summer at Middlebury,3

despite the difference in my entrance and exit
scores. I didn’t feel it when I first arrived in Paris in January. I felt, as I always feel, like I was stumbling
around in the dark. I still feel like that. But I also feel like I am getting better at stumbling.
I am emphasizing how I “feel” because, when studying, it is as important as any objective4
reality.

Hopelessness feeds the fatigue5

that leads the student to quit. It is not the study of language that is
hard, so much as the “feeling” that your present level is who you are and who you will always be. I
remember returning from France at the end of the summer of 2013, and being convinced that I had
some kind of brain injury which prevented me from hearing French vowel sounds. But the real enemy
was not any injury so much as the “feeling” of despair. That is why I ignore all the research about
children and their language advantage. I don’t want to hear it. I just don’t care. As Carolyn Forché
would say — “I’m going to have it.”

[5] To “have it,” I must manage my emotional health. Part of that long-term management — beyond
French — is giving myself an opportunity to get better at difficult things. There is absolutely nothing in
this world like the feeling of sucking at something and then improving at it. Everyone should do it every
ten years or so.
I don’t know what comes after this. I have said this before, and will say it again: Studying French is like
setting in a canoe from California to China. You arrive on the coast of Hawaii and think, “Wow that was
really far.” And then you realize that China is still so very far away. “Feelings” come and go. Likely,
someone will say something — in the next hour or so — which I do not understand and I will feel a little
hopeless again. But right now, I feel high. And one must savor those moments of feeling high, because
they are not the norm. The lows are the norm. The Struggle is the norm. May it ever be thus.

What does the following passage mainly reveal (paragraphs 8-9)?

Generating sections that don’t need a human-provided fuel supply would be in better shape. Geothermal plants, which are powered by the Earth’s internal heat, can run for some time without human intervention.

According to the maintenance manual for the Svartsengi Island geothermal plant in Iceland, every six months the operators must change the gearbox oil and regrease all electric motors and couplings. Without humans to perform these sorts of maintenance procedures, some plants might run for a few years, but they’d all succumb to corrosion eventually.
Answer choices for the above question

A. Although some power plants don’t require human-provided fuel, they still require human maintenance.

B. All lights would quickly go out if there were no human beings on Earth.

C. All power plants need maintenance.

D. Geothermal plants are the ideal forms of power supply on Earth.

Fourteen-year-old Albert Buckle was staring at death itself. Thick smoke moved toward him. Flames licked at the ceiling. Every second, the heat grew worse.

But Albert couldn’t run away from the fire. He was trapped deep underground in the coal mine where he worked. People were starting to panic. “Everyone is going to die!” someone shouted.

It was November 13, 1909. Albert worked at the Cherry Mine—a coal mine about 100 miles from Chicago, Illinois. Nearly 500 miners spent their days in the Cherry Mine. Their job was to dig out coal from deep inside the earth.

But today, disaster had struck. Albert and the other miners were caught in one of the worst coal mine fires in American history.


Where was Albert, and why was he in danger?

How does the author use specific details to explain what umami is? Use information from the text to support your answer.
Umami, the Fifth Taste



A potato chip’s sharp saltiness. A chocolate bar’s sweetness. The puckery sourness of a lemon. The bitterness of broccoli. Until recently, scientists agreed that these four were the only tastes our tongues detected, and that combinations of salty, sweet, sour, and bitter produced the complex flavors we enjoy in food.

But first, what is taste? We taste with our tongues, although our noses contribute to what the senses experience when we eat. We have trouble tasting when we have a cold. That’s because our noses are responsible for creating what we recognize as flavor. Taste expert Professor Tom Finger defines flavor as “a combination of taste and smell.” Professor Finger offers a simple experiment that illustrates the difference between taste and flavor: Chew a jellybean while holding your nose closed. Can you recognize the flavor? But open your nose and keep chewing. You should know exactly what you’re eating: cherry, strawberry, or watermelon.


Taste happens on our tongues. If you look at your tongue in a mirror, you’ll see that it is covered with tiny bumps called papillae. Inside the papillae are cells too small to see; these are called taste buds. After you eat a potato chip, and the saliva in your mouth has begun to break it down, the chip moves over some of your tongue’s thousands of papillae and reaches the taste buds. Chemical receptors1 in the buds that respond to salt then send a “salty” signal to your brain. Some people, called “supertasters,” have more papillae than others. Supertasters react strongly to the tastes in foods, especially those that are bitter.

The sides of our tongues are more sensitive than the middle, and the back is especially sensitive to bitterness. Scientists believe that this extra sensitivity helped to prevent early humans from swallowing poisonous or rotten foods.

Over a hundred years ago, a chemistry professor in Japan named Kikunae Ikeda believed there was a fifth taste to which our tongues reacted. This taste was not sweet, sour, bitter, or salty. It was different, rich, and distinct. Professor Ikeda enjoyed this taste in asparagus, tomatoes, cheese, meat, and especially in a savory Japanese seaweed broth called dashi. Professor Ikeda isolated the chemical that gave dashi its taste: glutamic acid. He named this

new, fifth taste “umami,” which means “delicious.”

It wasn’t until 2002 that the taste receptor for umami was located and the fifth taste was completely understood. But long before science confirmed it, people enjoyed the taste of umami-rich foods: soy sauce, mushrooms, ketchup, cooked meats (think cheeseburgers and

pepperoni pizzas), and Parmesan cheese. Scientists believe that humans came to enjoy the distinct umami taste because of our need to eat protein-rich foods.

Like its brother and sister tastes, umami is uniquely itself. Umami has a depth described as “mouthfulness.” Others have declared that umami is the taste of “yum” or “pure deliciousness.” However we explain the fifth taste, it’s hard to imagine a great meal that isn’t just a little bit umami.

Which of the following best describes the relationship between an argumentative essay’s thesis and its central claim? A thesis states the essay’s central claim along with the topic it pertains to.
