Mom’s Promise

Jasmine and Jeremiah’s mom was dedicated to her children. She taxied them back and forth to school, dance classes, soccer practice, and any other activity they wanted to do — basically, if the kids had a desire to pursue it, their mom would find a way to make it happen.
Of course, there were times that Jasmine and Jeremiah couldn’t get what they yearned for. For instance, one summer, Jasmine and Jeremiah begged to visit a large amusement park that they kept seeing advertised on TV, but their mom knew it was beyond their budget for vacation that year. She told them she would do everything she could to make their vacation dream come to fruition the next year, but she made “no promises.”
At the time, Jasmine was vexed. She rolled her eyes as she reflected on how her mom had never kept a promise in her life! But that wasn’t true — it wasn't that Mom didn't keep promises. She had never actually made a promise to Jasmine and Jeremiah.
Before the kids were born, Jasmine and Jeremiah's mom made an oath to herself. She knew that it would be important to instill a sense of honesty in her children. She wanted them to know the importance of being trustworthy — and she also knew if she made promises she didn’t keep, her children would not have confidence in her. They wouldn’t depend on her because they wouldn’t know if they could actually rely on her.
Mom never wanted that to happen, so once Jasmine and Jeremiah were around, she avoided ever making promises.
Of course, the kids would try to trick her — sometimes, they would try to get Mom to promise something really simple that seemed to guarantee to happen! There was no danger in making a promise that she would keep, right? But every time, Mom would still refuse.
Sometimes, on Thursday nights, Jeremiah would ask Mom if they could have pizza for dinner the following night. He knew that they had a family pizza night every Friday, but he wanted to try to scheme his mom into making a promise.
When Mom agreed — with a smile, of course, since she knew their tricks — Jeremiah would grin back and ask, “Promise?”
But Mom wouldn’t promise — and anytime they asked her to, she would reply with a loving, “I’ll try my best.”
One day, when Jasmine and Jeremiah interrogated Mom about why she wouldn’t make a promise, she explained it like this: “I want you to always trust me, and I want you to know that I mean what I say. But sometimes, things are out of our control; nothing in life is guaranteed. I might want to tell you something is definite, but there are some circumstances out of our control. I never want to break a promise to you, and the only way to guarantee I don’t break a promise is to never make one.”
Mom put her hands on Jasmine and Jeremiah’s shoulders. “I will make you one promise, but it’s the only one I’ll make. I promise I will always try my best.”

Passage 1: Excerpt from Will Yellow School Buses Soon Become Rolling Ads?
1 Tight school budgets could soon translate into Missouri school districts’ selling ad space on yellow school buses.



2 Missouri state Rep. T.J. Berry, R-Kearney, says his bill—HB 224—isn’t a cure-all by any stretch. But legalizing ads inside and outside the buses would give school districts one additional way to raise money in these tough times.



3 “Every single school district has had to deal with budget concerns,” Berry said last week. “And generally speaking, the way they have had to deal with those has been cuts or tax increases.”



4 The school bus is something that is already out there and paid for, he said. His bill would permit districts to generate a modest stream of income from their buses.



5 Few question the need for finding additional funds when it comes to educating children, but at least two groups think the school bus exteriors should remain ad-free.



6 “There is no such thing as free money,” said Josh Golin, associate director for the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood. “There are real costs to this: the price of selling out your students to advertisers.”



7 Students don’t need the first and last message they receive from their schools each day to be advertisements, Golin said. Students boarding a bus are certainly a captive audience.



8 The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services opposes advertising on safety grounds. Obscuring the recognizable school-bus yellow exterior with ads and distracting other drivers “present a safety problem around school buses that cannot be ignored,” the group said in its position paper.



9 National studies have shown that anything that diverts a driver’s attention from the road can pose a hazard, opponents say.



10 “And a big yellow bus doesn’t distract?” Berry asked.



11 Several years ago in Indiana, a Department of Education lawyer suggested that allowing advertisements on buses would invite First Amendment challenges by spurned advertisers, the group noted.



12 Berry said the bill would limit the types of advertising that would be allowed.



13 The regulations would prohibit ads that contain obscene or sexual material, or messages associated with gambling, tobacco products, alcohol, and political campaigns or causes. The ads could not promote drug use or “any illegal activity or antisocial behavior.” They can’t contain “harmful, discriminatory, false, misleading or deceptive” messages.



14 “There are a lot of safeguards being built in,” he said.



15 Berry emphasized that the space reserved for the ads would be “very limited,” meaning toward the back of the bus.



16 By 2012, nine states—Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas and Utah—permitted advertising on the exterior of school buses, according to the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood. Several, including Missouri, considered it last year.



17 The bill made it out of the Missouri House last year but did not clear the Senate, Berry said. He acknowledged that the idea was “very controversial.”

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!

Read the epitaphs of Mr. and Mrs. Purkapile from the Spoon River Anthology and answer the question that follows.
Mrs. Purkapile

HE ran away and was gone for a year.
When he came home he told me the silly story
Of being kidnapped by pirates on Lake Michigan
And kept in chains so he could not write me.
I pretended to believe it, though I knew very well
What he was doing, and that he met
The milliner, Mrs. Williams, now and then
When she went to the city to buy goods, as she said.
But a promise is a promise
And marriage is marriage,
And out of respect for my own character
I refused to be drawn into a divorce
By the scheme of a husband who had merely grown tired
Of his marital vow and duty.

Mr. Purkapile

SHE loved me.
Oh! how she loved me I never had a chance to escape
From the day she first saw me.
But then after we were married I thought
She might prove her mortality and let me out,
Or she might divorce me. But few die, none resign.
Then I ran away and was gone a year on a lark.
But she never complained. She said all would be well
That I would return. And I did return.
I told her that while taking a row in a boat
I had been captured near Van Buren Street
By pirates on Lake Michigan,
And kept in chains, so I could not write her.
She cried and kissed me, and said it was cruel,
Outrageous, inhuman! I then concluded our marriage
Was a divine dispensation
And could not be dissolved,
Except by death.
I was right.

Recall Benjamin Franklin said, "Good wives usually make good husbands" and "The likeliest Way, either to obtain a good Husband, or to keep one so, is to be Good yourself."

A student is writing a report and wants to edit it to make better transitions among the paragraphs. Read the students report and answer the question that follows. President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address in 1863 at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Pennsylvania. The first speaker at the dedication, Edward Everett, orated for more than two hours. President Lincoln spoke after him, and his speech lasted little more than two minutes. Afterward, Everett told Lincoln that he wished he could express in two hours what Lincoln had said in two minutes. Lincoln had delivered one of the most memorable speeches in history. This was fitting, as over 50,000 soldiers had died at the Battle of Gettysburg, a turning point in the Civil War. Lincoln's speech focused on a "new birth of freedom" in the United States, as he invoked the Declaration of Independence and its principles of liberty and equality. He stated clearly the need for the nation to be both united and free. The oldest copies of the speech are different from one another. The Library of Congress has two copies, and the others were recorded by Lincoln well after the speech. One copy was made for Everett, but "Bancroft" and "Bliss" versions also exist. The "Bliss" version is carved into a wall of the Lincoln Memorial in our nation's capital. Choose the sentence that provides the BEST transition between paragraphs 2 and 3. A Lincoln was certain about his vision for the course of the nation. B It is not exactly certain which words Lincoln spoke that day. C The spirit of Lincoln's speech is remembered well today. D Lincoln's speech had surprised the crowd.

Coatis are raccoon-like mammals native to South and Central America. Many people find them cute, and tourists have made a habit of offering the coatis food. Coatis realize that it is easier to seek out tourists than to search the forest for bugs. Like humans, they prefer junk food to what they should be eating. For their part, tourists do little to discourage the animals. After all, a coati drinking soda makes for a great vacation photo. Scientists, however, say that coatis and humans do best when they stay away from each other.


Coatis and tourists _________.




A persist


B interact


C respond


D negotiate
