 V. WRITING
Directions: Summarize the passages in your own words.
1. How do you say “Holy cow” in French? The fastest thing in France may just be the
fastest ground transportation in the world. The TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse: French
for very high speed) is France’s national high-speed rail service. On April 3rd, 2007, a
TGV test train set a record for the fastest wheeled train, reaching 357.2 miles per hour.
In mid-2011, TGV trains operated at the highest speed in passenger train service in the
world, regularly reaching 200 miles per hour. But what you may find most shocking is
that TGV trains run on electric power not petrol. Now if you’ll excuse me; I have a
record to catch. (41-45)

2. Giddy-up, cowboys and girls! In the Southwest during early half of the 1800s, cows
were only worth 2 or 3 dollars apiece. They roamed wild, grazed off the open range,
and were abundant. Midway through the century though, railroads were built, and the
nation was connected. People could suddenly ship cows in freight trains to the
Northeast, where the Yankees had a growing taste for beef. Out of the blue, the same
cows that were once worth a couple of bucks were now worth between twenty and forty
dollars each, if you could get them to the train station. It became lucrative to wrangle
up a drove of cattle and herd them to the nearest train town, but it was at least as
dangerous as it was profitable. Cowboys were threatened at every turn. They faced
cattle rustlers, stampedes and extreme weather, but kept pushing those steers to the
train station. By the turn of the century, barbed wire killed the open range, and some
may say the cowboy too, but it was the train that birthed him. (46-50)

VI. Directions: Read the passages. Identify the text structure. Write information from the
passage into the appropriate graphic organizer.
51-55. When I got home from school after a long boring day, I took out the peanut butter, jelly,
and bread. After taking the lid off the jars, I spread the peanut butter on one side of the bread and
the jelly on the other, and then I put the two pieces of bread together. After that, I enjoyed it while
watching “Cops” on the TV. I swear, that was the best peanut butter and jelly sandwich I ever ate.

56-60. Before applying the screen protector, clean the surface of your phone’s screen with a soft
cloth. Once the surface of your screen is clean, remove the paper backing on the screen protector.
Evenly apply the sticky side of the screen protector to your phone’s screen. Smooth out any air
bubble trapped on between the protector and the phone screen. Enjoy the added protection.
