TEST-3 THE ENVIRONMENTAL DETERIORATION
The deterioration of the earth's 1)_________ is the result of the impact of each individual on the 
environment multiplied by the number of individuals. Suppose you could choose any lifestyle 
you wished, you could, for example, choose to be a Buddhist monk- or nun of certain sects. You 
would be forbidden to have money and be pious. You could own your begging bowl, a razor, a 
needle and thread, and that is all, your presence on 2)__________would cause very little 
3)________ of the environment. On the other hand, you could 4)_________ to be an American 
millionaire. You might own several polluting factories and have a half dozen children-all 
eventually with their own houses, cars, and 5)_________factories. It is obvious that then, they 
would contribute much more to environmental deterioration than the 6) _________monk or nun. 
 
TEST-4 BICYCLE
My mother was a magician at making her money last longer. That December, with Christmas 
approaching, she was out to work and Doris was in the kitchen when I barged into her bedroom 
one afternoon in search of a safety1)_______. Since her 2)__________opened onto a community 
hallway, she kept the door locked, but needing the pin, I took the key from its hiding place, 
unlocked the 3)_________, and stepped in. Standing against the wall was a big, black bicycle 
with balloon tires. I recognized it instantly. It was the same second-hand 4)_________I'd been 
admiring in a Baltimore shop window. I'd even asked about the price. It was horrendous. 
Something like $15. Somehow my 5)__________ had scraped together enough for a down 
payment and meant to surprise me with the 6)_______ on 7)__________ morning.

TEST-5 FISHERMAN 
I had walked along the 1)________ many times since meeting the fisherman that day in winter, 
but I did not 2)_______ him again until spring. It was late afternoon, and I had bicycled to a 
point along the river about a mile downstream from where we had met hoping to find a deserted 
spot to draw a picture. I found a niche in the sloping 3)__________and started drawing a junk 
moored not far from me. Half an hour passed, and just as I finished the drawing, I heard someone 
calling my Chinese name. I looked down to 4)_____ Old Ding scrambling up the floodwall, his 
boat anchored behind him. I noticed that he limped badly, and when he got up close I could see 
that one of his legs was shorter than the other and set at an odd angle. Such was his balance and 
skill in the 5)_______that I only saw his deformity when he came ashore.
