Translation ©2013 by Sara Khalili. The passage is set in Tehran, Iran, in  \n1953. The Flowers of Shiraz is a teenage dance group.  \nGol-Maryam is the schoolmate of the other young characters in the passage.  \nFinally, with fear and foreboding, she agrees. She says she will come early and leave early.  \n“Maybe I'll come with my father,” she says. Line “Forget it! Are you nuts? Your dad on a bicycle?  \n5 With us?”  \nShe laughs and hangs up.  \nWednesday afternoon, right on time, she arrives at Zafaranieh Street with her chauffeur Javad Agha. She doesn’t have a bicycle. She dismisses Javad Agha 10 and stands next to me like someone who has never seen a street, a car, or creatures with two legs. She is afraid of crossing the street, she screams and grabs hold of the back of my bicycle. Our group consists of a few classmates, two of the Flowers of Shiraz (so far, 15 all girls), two of my cousins (boys), and two of the neighborhood guys (Homayoun and Parviz) .  \nGol-Maryam feels out of place. She regrets having come, but she has no way back. She is happier with her father. The jokes, the pranks, the screaming and  \n20 shouting, and everything we talk about is new to her. She doesn’t understand our language. Worst of all, she doesn’t have a bicycle. She climbs up behind me. She fidgets. She’s scared and wants to get off. At the corner, she jumps off before I have time to stop. She  \n25 loses her balance and falls. We stop. The cousins start grumbling. Gol-Maryam has scratches on her hands  \nand her knee and she is limping. Parviz holds her under the arm. He takes out his handkerchief and ties it around her knee. The Flowers of Shiraz smirk  \n30 and snicker out of spite and jealousy. Parviz’s bicycle is large. We put Gol-Maryam behind him. She is clumsy and shy and doesn’t know what to do with her hands. She is holding her legs out and away from the back wheel and she won’t sit tight against Parviz.  \n35 I’m sure they will fall. We set off. I hear Gol-Maryam scream, but I don’t look back. We speed down the incline of Baghe Ferdows. Parviz overtakes everyone. Gol-Maryam, her eyes wide with fear and her mouth open and ready to scream, is staring straight ahead.  \n40 She has wrapped her arms tight around Parviz’s waist. The wind is blowing through her hair and under her skirt. The Flowers of Shiraz are still smirking. The narrow alley and back roads of Elahiehare filled with pleasant shadows. We stop in front of  \n45 Amini Garden. There is a wide stream that flows atthe foot of the garden walls and under the trees. The water is cool and clear. It comes from Mrs. Fakhrodolleh’s reservoir. We take off our shoes, put our feet in the stream, and wash our face and hands.  \n50 Gol-Maryam’s face is flushed and she’s panting. She pats some water on her face and then she, too, takes off her shoes and dips her feet in the stream. The Flowers of Shiraz splash water on each other and chase after one another. It is a pleasant game on such  \n55 a hot day. Gol-Maryam hides behind a huge tree.","cbCairVacNPmgPk7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairVacNPmgPk7","pdf",5931948,64,"English","# Reading Test\n## Practice Questions 1-8","[{\"question\":\"What does the Reading Test include in PSAT™ 8/9 Practice Test #1?\",\"answer\":\"The Reading Test covers 55 minutes and includes 42 questions based on passages followed by sets of multiple-choice questions.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the main source of the passage used for questions 1-8?\",\"answer\":\"The passage is adapted from “The Flowers of Shiraz” by Goli Taraghi and is set in Tehran, Iran, in 1953.\"},{\"question\":\"Why do The Flowers of Shiraz mock Gol-Maryam, according to the passage questions?\",\"answer\":\"They mock her because she does not have a bicycle, which affects her ability to fit in and participate.\"}]","Spring 2019 PSAT™ 8/9 Practice Test - 1 | PDF",1790730360,161]
