answer to each of the questions from 30 to 34.
Seeing adults – and children – who simply refuse to be unglued from their cellphones, no matter where they

happen to be, is very common. Cellphone users often seem to forget that others share the same planet, and the talkers
can be completely insensitive to those around them – to the noticeable annoyance of non-cellphone users.
Cellphones have saved lives, increased business opportunities, and kept friendships going, but they have also
been known to destroy the magic of the movies, make everyone at a restaurant turn around and stare, and bring many a
meeting to an abrupt halt. People have even been known to carry their mobile phones to funerals!
Your cellphone is undoubtedly very important to you because it keeps you in touch with the hundreds of urgent
things you have to do every day. If you are a frequent cellphone user, you will insist that these gadgets are, after all,
supposed to be anywhere – anytime phones. Isn’t that why we call them mobile?
It is true that cellphones would not be of much use if you could not use them anywhere and anytime. And that is
exactly why most cellphones come with a host of features you can use to ensure that disturbance to others is kept to a
minimum. Even the most basic cellphones have a range of ring settings, with some sufficiently soft-toned not to annoy
those around you. Some phones vibrate or flash a light to alert you, and some let out quiet little beeps. The voice mail
option allows you to switch off and still no miss any calls or messages at all. So enjoy the benefits that cellphones
bring, and at the same time, show consideration for others.
(Adapted from Burlington Practice Tests for Michigan ECCE by Martha Pearson)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City. For a long time, it
has been the newspaper of record in the United States and one of the world’s great
newspapers. Its strength is in its editorial excellence; it has never been the largest newspaper
in terms of circulation.
The Times was established in 1851 as a penny paper whose editors wanted to report the
news in a restrained and objective fashion. It enjoyed early success as its editors set a
pattern for the future by appealing to a cultured, intellectual readership instead of a mass
audience. However, in the late nineteenth century, it came into competition with more popular,
colorful, if not lurid, newspapers in New York City. Despite price increases, the Times was losing
$1,000 a week when Adolph Simon Ochs bought it in 1896.
Ochs built the Times into an internationally respected daily. He hired Carr Van Anda as
editor. Van Anda placed greater stress than ever on full reporting of the news of the day, and
his reporters maintained and emphasized existing good coverage of international news. The
management of the paper decided to eliminate fiction from the paper, added a Sunday

magazine section, and reduced the paper’s price back to a penny. In April 1912, the paper took
many risks to report every aspect of the sinking of the Titanic. This greatly enhanced its
prestige, and in its coverage of two world wars, the Times continued to enhance its reputation
for excellence in world news.
In 1971, the Times was given a copy of the so-called “Pentagon Papers,” a secret
government study of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. When it published the report, it
became involved in several lawsuits. The U.S. Supreme Court found that the publication was
protected by the freedom-of-the-press clause in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Later in the 1970s, the paper, under Adolph Ochs’s grandson, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger,
introduced sweeping changes in the organization of the newspaper and its staff and brought
out a national edition transmitted by satellite to regional printing plants.
