They led to an unlocked door which wobbled on its hinges and shrank from its frame. It creaked open to a dank, dark hall which smelled of urine and sweat. The paint was peeling off cracked walls. The faint yellow light hung low in the night.  \nMr. and Mrs. Gomes lived on the second floor with their three young children. Their fourroom apartment was immaculate and tidy. The kitchen floor glistened, and the flowered plates and glasses were neatly stacked in the drainer.  \nIn the living room, the sheer curtains were always drawn back, filtering sunlight throughout the room, passing over a color television and several porcelain icons. Besides the freestanding gas heater was a brand name stereo system recently purchased on an “easy pay”credit plan.  \nThe soft pine floors were all warped but recently painted. The wide floorboards, once loose in many places, were now nailed down securely. Clear plastic sheets were tacked over the windows to prevent heat loss.  \nThe children, two girls and a boy, shared a large room with one small window that was separated from the kitchen by a curtain. The gas stove “warmed” them at night. Their toys were piled high in wooden crates. The children did not dare turn on the kitchen light for fear that the six-legged, brown-bodied pests would dart out in front of them.  \nThe Gomes family had rented this apartment for ten years, ever since they came to this country. They had known no other home, although they had dreamed of many. Some day they hoped to live in a quiet neighborhood with open yards and spotless sidewalks, where people get into cars each weekday morning and commute to work.  \n1. You can infer that the story takes place in the  \na. summer  \nb. spring  \nc. fall  \nd. winter  \ne. none of the above  \n2. In the third paragraph the word icons means  \na. fine china plates  \nb. ornate lamps  \nc. religious figures  \nd. ashtrays  \ne. none of the above  \n3. You can conclude that the Gomes family members are  \na. native Americans  \nb. United States citizens  \nc. Chinese  \nd. immigrants  \ne. second generation Americans  \n4. What would be the opposite meaning of the word immaculate in the second paragraph?  \n[a. fi](a. fi)lthy  \nb. girlish  \nc. clean  \nd. horrible  \ne. modern  \n5. What can you infer about the children’s bedroom?  \na. It is well furnished.  \nb. It is crowded.  \nc. It has its own bathroom.  \nd. It is well lighted.  \ne. It is pest-free.  \n6. The pests mentioned at the end of the passage are probably  \na. ants  \nb. mice  \nc. rats  \nd. moths  \ne. cockroaches  \nRead the following passage and choose the best answer for items 7 – 12.  \nWhat was Grandpa Tweedy Like?  \nThen there was Grandpa Tweedy, my daddy’s daddy out in Banks County. He talked hard times morning, noon, and night. Called himself a farmer; but you never saw him behind aplow or driving a team. Like the lilies of the field in the Bible, he toiled not, neither did he spend his own money. He was always asking Papa to help him out. All he ever did was sit on the porch and swat flies, and like I said, even had him a pet hen to peck them up.  \nWhen Papa left the farm at sixteen to go work for Grandpa Blakeslee, he made twenty dollars a month and had to send half of it home to pay the field hand who took his place. That was the custom. But even after Papa married at nineteen, making forty dollars a month, he still had to send Grandpa Tweedy ten of it, till the day he was twenty-one. My mother never said she didn’t like her father-in-law, but I could tell she didn’t, and that may have been why.  \nWhat started me hating him, he wouldn’t let me fish on Sunday. Said it was a sin. I remember I put out some set hooks late one Saturday, thinking if I caught a fish, it wouldn’t be asin to take him off the hook next morning. End his suffering, you know.
