Adapted from aletter by T. Thatcher published inThe Publishers Circularon September 27th, 1902A PLEA FOR A LONG WALKSir—In these days of increasing rapid artificial locomotion, may I be permitted to say a word in favor of a very worthy and valuable old friend of mine, Mr. Long-Walk?I am afraid that this good gentleman is in danger of getting neglected, if not forgotten. We live in days of water trips and land trips, excursions by sea, road, and rail—bicycles and tricycles, tram cars and motor cars, hansom cabs and ugly cabs; but in my humble opinion good honest walking exercise for health beats all other kinds of locomotion into a cocked hat. In rapid traveling all the finer nerves, senses, and vessels are "rush" and unduly excited, but in walking every particle of the human frame, and even the moral faculties, are evenly and naturally brought into exercise. It is the best discipline and physical mental tonic in the world. Limbs, body, muscles, lungs, chest, heart, digestion, breathing, are healthily brought into normal operation, while. especially in the long distance walk, the exercise of patience, perseverance, industry, energy, perception, and reflection—and, indeed, all the senses and moral faculties—are elevated and cultivated healthfully and naturally. Many never know the beauty of it because they never go far enough: exercise and hard work should never be relinquished at any age or by either sex. Heart disease, faintness, and sudden death, and even crime, are far more due to the absence of wholesome normal exercise and taste than to anything else, to enervating luxuries rather than to hill climbing.I usually give myself a holiday on a birthday, and as I lately reached my 63rdI determined to give myself a day with my old friend Mr. Long-Walk, and decided to tramp to the city of Wells and back for my birthday holiday—a distance of about forty-two miles. Fortune favors the brave, and, thanks to a mosquito that pitched on my nose and was just commencing operations, I woke very early in the morning. It is an ill wind that blows no one any good. Mosquitoes are early birds, but I stole a march on them. But to my journey.I started at about 5 A.M., and proceedingviaDundry and Chow Stoke, reached Wells soon after 10 A.M. After attending the cathedral, I pursued my walk homeward by a different route,viaChewton Mendip, Farrington, Temple Cloud, Clutton, and Pensford.To make a walk successful, mind and body should be free of burden. I never carry a stick on a long walk, but prefer to be perfectly free, giving Nature’s balancing poles—the pendulum arms—complete swing and absolute liberty. Walking exercises, together with a well-educated palate, are the greatest physicians in the world: no disease can withstand them. I returned from my forty-two miles tramp with birthday honors and reward. I had no headache on the following morning, but was up early in good form, fresh and ready for work. Forty-two miles may be too strong a dose for many, but I cannot too strongly recommend for a day’s companionship the society of my old and well-tried friend, Mr. Long-Walk.Faithfully yours,T.

Directions:In the passages that follow, some words and phrases are underlined and numbered. In the answer column, you will find alternatives for the words and phrases that are underlined. If you think that the original version is best, choose “NO CHANGE,”. You will also find questions about a particular section of the passage, or about the entire passage. These questions will be identified either by an underlined portion or by a number in a box. Look for the answer that clearly expresses the idea, is consistent with the style and tone of the passage, and makes the correct use of standard written English. Read the passage through once before answering the questions. For some questions, you should read beyond the indicated portion before you answer.PassageHow Volcanoes WorkWhat causes the formation of volcanoes? Before humans understood that the center of the Earth was made of molten iron, scientific hypotheses pointed to chemical reactions in superficial layers of magma to explain the phenomenon. Through modern geology, humans have a clearer—though hardly complete—understanding of the mechanism of magma flow, (1) and can analyze the vibrations of the earth to warn of (2) recent eruptions.(3)Most volcanoes were being the result of magma flowing 63 out of the surface of the earth and hardening, usually near a subduction zone. As two tectonic plates collide, (4) one of them is forced under the other, and the seabed rock melts to form new, low-density magma.(5) This magma is red-hot and eventually penetrates unstable pockets of the Earth’s surface. Some magma will succeed in reaching the surface either to form a new volcano or (6) adding more mass to an existing one. Not all volcanoes are formed at continental boundaries, however.(7)Hotspot volcanoes form by a different mechanism. One theory, proposed in the 1960s, seeks to explain volcanoes such as those that formed the Hawaiian Islands, which are not at a plate boundary. The probable explanation is a hotspot, which is a fixed point beneath the Earth’s crust where a narrow plume of magma rises into the crust and appears at the surface as a continental volcano or a volcanic island. (8) Chains, of volcanic islands called archipelagos, provide evidence that the hotspot stays in place as the tectonic plate passes over it.Geologic processes are (9) slow, while research must include the study of ancient human accounts of eruptions and layers of rock millions of years old.(10) In general, eruptions seem to occur every several hundred or even thousand years, and many volcanoes seem to be completely dormant, (11) that is unlikely to erupt soon. No one can say for sure that these volcanoes will not erupt again in the future, so scientists (12) take serious the study of every volcano situated where a future eruption could bring significant human loss and environmental damage. Predicting volcanic eruptions is not an exact science, and only within the briefest geological moment can people (13) warn to evacuate. Through studying the earth’s vibrations, physical deformation, and gas emissions, geologists in recent decades have made several excellent predictions ofvolcanic eruption, (14) as if at the Philippines’ Mount Pinatubo in 1991 and Popocatepetl outside Mexico City in 2000.Understanding the mechanisms of the earth’s interior and continuing to study volcanoes will advance the development of reliable early warning systems for dangerous eruptions. Volcanoes are both feared and revered for their beauty and awesome destructive power, (15) but they show that humans have much more to learn about the planet Earth.Q. (7)

In my application essay, I was careful to express how much I wanted to see France. I suppose my excitement really came through in my words. Once I knew that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and interesting friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was exciting, nothing about my semester in France was what I expected.The moment I arrived in Paris, I was greeted by a nice French (2) couple who would become my host parents. The bit of French I had taken in high school began (3) pouring from my mouth. Speaking the language would only become more natural over the course of the semester. At the airport, we all got into the couple’s little two-door hatchback and began the journey to their townhouse in the suburbs. We talked the whole way there, getting to know one another bit by bit. Everyday thereafter, I (4) eat breakfastwith the two of them, (5) so we’d all go our separate ways for the day. In the evening, my host mother would makedelicious dinners for the three of us. My entire experience was joyous and exhilarating until I received some shocking news from my program coordinator: there had been a death in my (6) host parents extended family. They had to travel outside France for several (7) weeks, so tending to all the business that arises from an unforeseen death. That afternoon, I had to move out of one family’s house and into another (8) so I’d have to repack my suitcases.The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a roommate this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an (9) English speaker or someone who didn’t speak English. To avoid the temptation to speak my native language, I asked not to be placed with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I introduced myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian the same age as I, (10) whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDs on the stereo!(11) In just a few hours, we knew we’d be attached at the hip for the rest of the term.I left France with many stories, so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always surprised to hear me (12) talk, about my Brazilian friend Paolo, and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends exploring France we enjoyed together.(13) I love people, how they end up being so similar, but are so different. The most (14) valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people but to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away. (15)Q.
