Stacey was lugging her oversized suitcase to the car when she saw her parents putting bicycles on the bike rack. Her dad noticed her eyeing them suspiciously.

“There are some great bike trails near Aunt Lucy’s house,” Dad explained, “so do me a favor and get our helmets from the basement.”

Stacey turned around and trudged back inside, muttering, “I thought this was going to be a relaxing visit, not an athletic challenge!”

“We just want to take a few bike rides, so it’s not like we’re climbing mountains!” Zack called from his room.

Stacey didn’t bother to reply. Zack didn’t get it, and her parents didn’t really either. The three of them were natural athletes who loved pushing themselves to the limit, and they couldn’t understand why Stacey despised activities that involved working herself into a dripping sweat or waking up with aching muscles. As she carried the helmets to the car, Stacey felt like the family misfit.

But the long ride to Aunt Lucy’s house was entertaining enough to brighten her mood. Mom found a golden oldies station on the radio, and the old songs reminded her mom and dad of things they had done as kids. To pass the time, they amused Stacey and Zack with their stories.

After a while, it dawned on Stacey that many of Dad’s stories were about squabbles he had with Aunt Lucy, so she finally decided to ask him more about their relationship.

“Well,” Dad said thoughtfully, “Lucy and I weren’t cut from the same cloth. I loved practically every sport, and Lucy didn’t have an athletic bone in her body. She wasn’t a klutz or anything; she just didn’t care about sports.”

“So she was like me!” Stacey exclaimed. She had always wondered why she and her aunt seemed to be on the same wavelength.

Dad nodded and replied, “You’ve always reminded me of Lucy.”

When the family got to Aunt Lucy’s, the table was already set for dinner. She had figured they would all be hungry after their long trip. As everyone sat down, Aunt Lucy carried a steaming macaroni casserole to the table. One whiff was enough to cause everybody’s stomachs to rumble.

“It looks fabulous, Lucy,” Mom said appreciatively.

“And pasta is packed with long-burning carbohydrates,” Zack added, “so it’s the perfect way to fuel up for our bike ride tomorrow.” Stacey rolled her eyes and looked over at Aunt Lucy, who was giving her a sympathetic smile.

The next morning, Dad and Mom prepared breakfast while Zack eagerly filled their water bottles to the brim. Aunt Lucy was sitting in her living room contently reading a magazine when Stacey walked in and noticed the upright piano. It was made of old brown wood and was lined with a row of family photos along the top. The way the morning light shone off the keys made it appear as though the piano was beckoning Stacey to come play.

“You’re welcome to play,” Aunt Lucy suggested.

“I really don’t know how,” Stacey pointed out.

“You can give it a try anyway,” her aunt replied encouragingly. “You won’t bother me.”

Stacey sat down on the plush seat cushion and cautiously positioned her hands on the keys. A song she’d heard the day before was running through her head, and she began to plunk it out one note at a time. She hit some clunkers at first, but after a few attempts, Stacey was playing a recognizable tune.

“You’ve got an excellent ear for music,” Aunt Lucy commented. “That’s a tricky melody, and you figured it out quickly.”

“It sounds so plain just one note at a time,” Stacey observed.

Aunt Lucy glided over to the piano and sat beside her on the bench. “Play it again, and I’ll add some chords to fill out the tune.”

Aunt Lucy played along, and the music they made together gave Stacey a powerful, unfamiliar feeling. It was a delicious mixture of wonder and pride, and she liked it.

“That’s a tricky melody, and you figured it out quickly.”

“Do you think you could give me some piano lessons during our visit?” Stacey pleaded.

“I’d be delighted,” Aunt Lucy answered with a smile, “and we can start today after your bike ride.”

Stacey rushed into the kitchen with a new spring in her step. “Let’s hurry up and eat so we can take that bike ride!”

Mom, Dad, and Zack could only exchange puzzled glances and marvel at what had come over Stacey.



How does the narrator of "Duet" develop a perspective about Stacey?

by describing how she has an ear for music and develops into a fine piano player, by describing how she interacts with her different family members, by describing what she thinks about her family and their bike outings, or by describing how she acts during the trip to Aunt Lucy's house?

2. What are some aspects of the design of Taipei 101 that the author describes in the second paragraph?

A-the importance of the basement of the building
B-its emphasis on symmetry and geometry
C-its connection to nature and to Buddhism
D-its focus on bright color schemes

( the second paragraph says.... )
Taipei 101’s design is inspired by Taiwanese culture and nature. The shape of the building looks like a bamboo stalk. Bamboo grows in many parts of Asia and symbolizes virtue in Taiwanese culture. It is a flexible, but sturdy plant that grows to high heights. This tall building is also quite resilient. Additionally, the building’s exterior resembles an elongated pagoda. This architectural style was originally built to honor the Buddha. As Buddhism spread throughout Asia during the Han Dynasty, this architectural style became more widespread. Although some of these pagodas are not Buddhist houses of worship anymore, they are still important historical structures that can be seen in many parts of Asia. Numbers also play an important symbolic role in this building. The number of floors, 101, was chosen at the end of the 20th century to celebrate the new 21st century. The building is split into eight sections of eight stories. The number eight represents abundance and good luck in Taiwanese culture. There are also large circular structures on each side of the building to symbolize ancient coins and the wealth they bring. These symbolic nods to traditional architecture are combined with innovative engineering.

Question: Write an objective summary for this article on the lines below. Remember, an objective summary must be put in your own words, cannot contain opinions, focuses on the main idea, and omits minor details.
Passage: THE SKUNK The skunk is an animal of the weasel family and is found throughout the United States and the southern parts of Canada. The color is a glossy black, with usually a white V-shaped stripe extending from the top of the head to about half the length of the back. The skunk has become quite famous, among country folks, because of its powerful scent, which is found in two glands near the root of the tail, which the animal can eject at will. This scent is perhaps the most powerful and offensive of all odors, and the use of it is the skunk's only means of defending itself against enemies. Dens The skunk makes its den in the ground, usually along a gravelly hill-side, and it sometimes makes use of the den of the woodchuck. In thickly settled countries where the dens have been destroyed by hunters, they often make their homes under barns and out-buildings, and even under dwelling houses, much to the discomfort of the inmates. The skunk is a nocturnal animal, searching for food only at night and remaining in its den during the day. During the cold part of the winter, they remain in their dens, coming out only on warm nights. After the middle of February, when their mating season commences, the males travel, at this time in almost all kinds of weather. Tracking Skunks In winter, one may track them to their dens, and if the den is a good one, may find any number of skunks, up to a dozen, in the same den. It is a common practice to dig the den open and kill all the inmates, but as this method means the destruction of a good den, it is not advisable to do so. The best way is to trap them, as in this way the den will not be injured, and it is almost certain that you will find skunks in the same den each season. The most common method of trapping the skunk is to set the trap in the entrance of the den, without bait. However, where there are many dens, or where the dens are hard to find, it is best to use bait. In setting the trap in a den, it should be set just inside the entrance, unless the mouth of the den is small. In this case, it should be set just outside. The trap should be set with the jaws lengthwise of the hole, so that the skunk steps between the jaws, and not over them. By stepping over the jaw, the foot is likely to be thrown out of the trap, by the jaw, as the trap springs. This rule also applies to all traps set in dens or enclosures of any kind. The common way of fastening is to stake the trap or fasten to a clog, but the balance pole is better. No great care is necessary in covering the trap, as the skunk is not suspicious, but it is always best to use care, especially in setting baited traps, as one never knows what animal may come along.

Read the excerpt from “George Washington.”

He did not infringe upon the policy making powers that he felt the Constitution gave Congress. But the determination of foreign policy became preponderantly a Presidential concern. When the French Revolution led to a major war between France and England, Washington refused to accept entirely the recommendations of either his Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, who was pro-French, or his Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, who was pro-British. Rather, he insisted upon a neutral course until the United States could grow stronger.

Which is the central idea in this excerpt?

a. The French Revolution led to a major war between France and England during Washington’s presidency.
b. Washington followed a foreign policy of not taking sides in conflicts between other countries.
c. Washington’s secretary of state was Thomas Jefferson and his secretary of the treasury was Alexander Hamilton.
d. Washington’s understanding of the Constitution meant that he did not infringe on the powers of Congress.
