The Night The Bed Fell What do you suppose the author, looking back, think of this behavior?

Select the correct answer.
Read the excerpt from a speech that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill made shortly after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. What is Churchill’s intention with this part of the speech?

This is a strange Christmas Eve. Almost the whole world is locked in deadly struggle, and, with the most terrible weapons which science can devise, the nations advance upon each other. Ill would it be for us this Christmastide if we were not sure that no greed for the land or wealth of any other people, no vulgar ambition, no morbid lust for material gain at the expense of others, had led us to the field. Here, in the midst of war, raging and roaring over all the lands and seas, creeping nearer to our hearts and homes, here, amid all the tumult, we have tonight the peace of the spirit in each cottage home and in every generous heart. Therefore we may cast aside for this night at least the cares and dangers which beset us, and make for the children an evening of happiness in a world of storm. Here, then, for one night only, each home throughout the English-speaking world should be a brightly-lighted island of happiness and peace.

A.
to remind people about the evils surrounding them
B.
to promote happiness and peace during the Christmas season
C.
to encourage more support for the war
D.
to push for the United States and Britain to become one country

During the fifteen minutes after the bus arrived, racists assaulted not only the Freedom Riders but also other passengers – both black and white – who happened to be on the same bus, as well as bystanders waiting in the station to welcome their friends and family to Birmingham. The assailants also went after local white reporters, destroying cameras, film, and a microphone. Right on schedule, a detective announced, “Your fifteen minutes is up . . . The police are coming.” The attackers slipped away. When Connor was asked why it took so long for his men to drive the four blocks from the police station to the bus station, he explained that they were all at home celebrating Mother’s Day.

It was in an empty lot
Ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle.
Bill Corson was pitching in his buckskin jacket,
Chuck Keller, fat even as a boy, was on first,
His t-shirt riding up over his gut,
Ron O'Neill, Jim, Dennis, were talking it up
In the field, a blue sky above them
Tipped with cirrus.

And there I was,
Just off the plane and plopped in the middle
Of Williamsport, Pa. and a neighborhood game,
Unnatural and without any moves,
My notions of baseball and America
Growing fuzzier each time I whiffed.

So it was not impossible that I,
Banished to the outfield and daydreaming
Of water, or a hotel in the mountains,
Would suddenly find myself in the path
Of a ball stung by Joe Barone.
I watched it closing in
Clean and untouched, transfixed
By its easy arc before it hit
My forehead with a thud.

I fell back,
Dazed, clutching my brow,
Groaning, "Oh my shin, oh my shin,"
And everybody peeled away from me
And dropped from laughter, and there we were,
All of us writhing on the ground for one reason
Or another.

Someone said "shin" again,
There was a wild stamping of hands on the ground,
A kicking of feet, and the fit
Of laughter overtook me too,
And that was important, as important
As Joe Barone asking me how I was
Through his tears, picking me up
And dusting me off with hands like swatters, And though my head felt heavy,
I played on till dusk
Missing flies and pop-ups and grounders
And calling out in desperation things like
"Yours" and "take it," but doing all right,
Tugging at my cap in just the right way,
Crouching low, my feet set,
"Hum baby" sweetly on my lips.

—"How I Learned English,"
Gregory Djanikian

Write a short paragraph in which you evaluate what makes the poem effective and give your opinion of the poem overall.

Based on the article, which is most likely to happen?

A.Dr. Aszmann will no longer perform bionic reconstructions.
B.New prosthetic hands will soon be manually operated.
C.Milorad Marinkovic will ask that surgeons improve his bionic hand.
D.More people will undergo bionic reconstruction surgery.

Milorad Marinkovic, age 30, lost the use of his right hand in a motorcycle accident in 2001. He never thought he'd be able to control a prosthetic as naturally as he controlled his unaffected hand. Neither did his doctors. But in 2011, Marinkovic replaced his injured hand with a bionic one. It responds to thought, just as a natural hand does.

The patients then needed to learn to use faint signals from those nerves to command the artificial hand. Now, the men use their new, bionic hands to perform everyday tasks. They can pick up a ball, handle small items like coat buttons and shoelaces, and cut food with a knife.

Previously, people with bionic hands have primarily controlled them with manual settings. But with the new groundbreaking technique, the transplanted nerves allow the brain to relay messages directly to the new extremity. It's particularly notable since the human hand contains sophisticated muscle structures and a complex nerve system, making it especially difficult to copy.

Dr. Oskar Aszmann of the Medical University of Vienna developed the bionic reconstruction approach with some of his coworkers. He performed the first surgery in April 2011 on an Austrian named Patrick, then age 24. (Patrick declined to give his last name.) He had lost the use of his left hand as the result of a work injury three years earlier.


"This is the first time we have bionically reconstructed a hand," Dr. Aszmann said at the time. "If I saw these kinds of patients five to seven years ago, I would have just shrugged my shoulders and said, 'There's nothing I can do for you.'"



Aszmann's team described the cases of the three men in a report published in the journal Lancet in February 2015. All three men had suffered injuries to the brachial plexus. This is a network of nerves running from the spine to the shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand, and it controls movement in these areas.



Injuries had left the hands of these men paralyzed. They opted to undergo the elective amputation only after having the bionic hand strapped onto their injured hand. This allowed them to see how the robotic one might work.


Now, after the surgery, Marinkovic loves his new hand. It allows him to hold things like a sandwich or a bottle of water—and most importantly, to play with his three children. Still, the bionic hand is not the same as a natural one.
