It was north-facing, quite dim inside, and perhaps this was  \nLine why Father did not see us at first. He was busy with a  \n5 customer, a man who was distinguished-looking, like the scholars of two decades before. The two men were bent over a glass case, discussing the different qualities of inksticks. Big Uncle welcomed us and invited us to be seated. From his formal tone, I knew  \n10 he did not recognize who we were. So I called his name in a shy voice. And he squinted at me, then laughed and announced our arrival to Little Uncle, who apologized many times for not rushing over sooner to greet us. They rushed us to be seated at one  \n15 oftwo tea tables for customers. Old Widow Lau refused their invitation three times, exclaiming that my father and uncles must be too busy for visitors. She made weak efforts to leave. On the fourth insistence, we finally sat. Then Little Uncle brought  \n20 us hot tea and sweet oranges, as well as bamboo latticework fans with which to cool ourselves.  \nI tried to notice everything so I could later tell GaoLing what I had seen, and tease out her envy. The floors ofthe shop were of dark wood, polished and  \n25 clean, no dirty footprints, even though this was during the dustiest part of the summer. And along the walls were display cases made of wood and glass.  \nThe glass was very shiny and not one pane was broken. Within those glass cases were our silk-  \n30 wrapped boxes, all our hard work. They looked so much nicer than they had in the ink-making studio at Immortal Heart village.  \nI saw that Father had opened several of the boxes. He set sticks and cakes and other shapes on a silk  \n35 cloth covering a glass case that served as a table on which he and the customer leaned. First he pointed to a stick with a top shaped like a fairy boat and said with graceful importance,“Your writing will flow as smoothly as a keel cutting through a glassy lake.”  \n40 He picked up a bird shape: “Your mind will soar into the clouds of higher thought.” He waved toward a row of ink cakes embellished with designs of peonies and bamboo: “Your ledgers will blossom into abundance while bamboo surrounds your quiet  \n45 mind.”  \nAs he said this, Precious Auntie came back into mind. I was remembering how she taught me that everything, even ink, had a purpose and a meaning:  \nGood ink cannot be the quick kind, ready to pour out  \n50 of a bottle. You can never be an artist if your work comes without effort. That is the problem of modern ink from a bottle. You do not have to think. You simply write what is swimming on the top of your brain. And the top is nothing but pond scum, dead  \n55 leaves, and mosquito spawn. But when you push an inkstick along an inkstone, you take the first step to cleansing your mind and your heart. You push and you ask yourself, What are my intentions? What is in my heart that matches my mind?  \nUnauthorized copying or reuse of any part of this page is illegal.  \n CONTINUE   \n 1 ","cbCaihlTjNSq0Orp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihlTjNSq0Orp","pdf",5277892,"English","# Reading Test\n## Passage-based questions (1-10)\n## Theme and characterization","[{\"question\":\"How should test-takers approach the SAT practice test questions?\",\"answer\":\"Read each passage (or pair of passages) and choose the best answer based on what is stated or implied, including any accompanying graphics.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the practice test direct students to do after finishing?\",\"answer\":\"Score the practice test right away at sat.org/scoring.\"},{\"question\":\"Which type of skills do the questions in the Reading Test target?\",\"answer\":\"They assess understanding of the passage, including summarizing key ideas, identifying main themes, and recognizing how the narrator is portrayed.\"}]","October 2017 The SAT Practice Test - 9 - Reading Test | PDF",176]
