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 51 to 60.

Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new

life In the late 19th and early 20th centuries , several European nations instituted public-welfare programs.

But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was willing to work could find a job

Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the programs - Social Security - has become an American institution Paid for by deductions from the

paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated

In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs.These include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes

Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help A broad spectrum of private charities and voluntary organizations is available Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S households contribute money to charity

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 71 to 80.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves in front of the Sun and hides at least some part of the Sun from the earth In a partial eclipse, the Moon covers part of the Sun; in an annular eclipse, the Moon covers

the center of the Sun, leaving a bright ring of light around the Moon; in a total eclipse, the Sun is

completely covered by the Moon

It seems rather improbable that a celestial body the size of the Moon could completely block out the

tremendously immense Sun, as happens during a total eclipse, but this is exactly what happens Although the

Moon is considerably smaller in size than the Sun, the Moon is able to cover the Sun because of their relative

distances from Earth A total eclipse can last up to 7 minutes, during which time the Moon's shadow moves

across Earth at a rate of about 6 kilometers per second.

Question 76: According to the passage, how can the Moon hide the Sun during a total eclipse?

A.The fact that the Moon is closer to Earth than the Sun makes up for the Moon's smaller size

B.The Moon can only obscure the Sun because of the Moon's great distance from the earth

C. Because the Sun is relatively close to Earth, the Sun can be eclipsed by the Moon

D. The Moon hides the Sun because of the Moon's considerable size

Question 78: The passage states that which of the following happens during an eclipse?

A. The Moon hides from the Sun

B. The Moon is obscured by the Sun

C. The Moon begins moving at a speed of 6 kilometers per second
