LEGO Builders Can Go Pro
Let's say you're spending the day building a LEGO model. You rummage through multitudes of multicolored bricks until you spot—aha!—just the right sizes and shapes. You arrange and assemble them, carefully constructing your masterpiece brick by brick. The reward for your stick-to-itiveness might be a car, a castle, or a character from your favorite movie. It could be a dinosaur, a donut shop, or a detailed replica of the International Space Station. Now imagine you had something else to show for your efforts…a paycheck!
That's all in a day's work for LEGO model designers. These creative professionals earn a living by playing with the popular plastic construction toys. They develop the designs for the LEGO sets sold around the world, from simple products for young kids to monumental challenges for collectors. Open any LEGO box and you can see the results of hundreds of choices made by designers. They decide on the shapes, sizes, colors, and quantities of the pieces and how they fit together.
But not all their creations are destined to be packaged in a box and sold from store shelves. Designers also get to make the models used in LEGO movies, as well as plan and construct the miniature metropolises and larger-than-life figures at LEGOLAND theme parks. Imagine getting paid to build an 8-foot (2.4-meter) sculpture of Batman out of LEGO bricks. Now that's a dream job with super fun benefits!
Designers use their imaginations and problem-solving skills to turn ideas into reality, staying involved from conception to production. To develop a design, they use both hands-on and digital techniques. They might begin by settling down with a bunch of bricks, trying out different ideas and combinations. Once they've put together a workable physical model, they recreate their design virtually using animation software.
What kind of education and experience do you need to land this gig? Many LEGO model designers studied 3-D (three-dimensional) arts or architecture in college. But the ability to transform a pile of plastic pieces into a masterful model is essential. That means one of the best ways to prepare for this job is to spend a lot of time…playing with LEGO! If you like to while away hour after hour up to your elbows in those beloved bricks, you could be building a strong foundation for a career.
For LEGO model designers, creativity is key, so if you're interested in going pro, think outside the box. It's great to be able to follow the directions to build a packaged model. But coming up with your own creations can be even more constructive. The company suggests that would-be designers start by using LEGO bricks to copy real-world objects, then move on to envisioning fantastical creations fresh from their own imaginations.
Need some inspiration to build on? The LEGO Group's website LEGO Ideas (ideas.lego.com) is a hub for dedicated LEGO fans of all ages. Kids, teens, and AFOLs (Adult Fans of LEGO) can share their creations with other LEGO enthusiasts. They can take part in activities and challenges and enter contests to win prizes, including LEGO sets, shopping sprees, or even trips. So even if you're not ready to put together a plan for a career as a LEGO model designer, there are still some ways to play with these cool construction toys for fun and profit!

In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When
the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the
Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a
promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a
promise that all men - yes, black men as well as white men - would be
guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.

-Martin Luther King, Jr.'s I Have a Dream

Read the excerpt from "The Day the Gulls Went Crazy".


Clearly, "bird brains" are more complicated than we think. And perhaps, we humans aren't so smart after all. That's something to think about next time you watch a bird. And if you see some gulls, think twice before you disturb them. They just might remember your face. And as Larry can tell you, they dive-bomb with missile-like accuracy.


Which statement best explains how the passage supports the author's purpose?


A. The purpose is to inform; it explains how people can safely interact with gulls.


B. The purpose is to entertain; the author jokes that gulls will take revenge if people bother them.


C. The purpose is to question; the author doubts gulls can really memorize what people look like.


D. The purpose is to persuade; the author wants to prove that gulls are the most intelligent of birds.

Read the excerpt from "Mowgli's Brothers."

“Oh, thou art a man’s cub,” said the black panther, very tenderly, “and even as I returned to my jungle, so thou must go back to men at last—to the men who are thy brothers—if thou art not killed in the council.”

How does the black panther's statement develop the plot?


The true Law of the Jungle is friendship and loyalty.

Mowgli will take his place as the rightful leader of the pack.

The Law of the Jungle has been breached, so Mowgli will be disciplined.

It foreshadows that Mowgli will eventually return to man.

Read the passage from Animal Farm

As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears.

If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major's speech. Instead she did not know why they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. She knew that, even that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. Whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of Napoleon.






Which details best support the theme that oppression can make alternatives seem impossible? Select two options.

"This was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race."

"If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip."

"... they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings."

"She would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of Napoleon."

O"... each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Majors speech."

Excerpt from A Defence of Skeletons
G.K. Chesterton

The importance of the human skeleton is very great, and the horror with which it is commonly regarded is somewhat
mysterious. Without claiming for the human skeleton a wholly conventional beauty, we may assert that he is certainly not
uglier than a bult-dog, whose popularity never wanes, and that he has a vastly more cheerful and ingratiating expression
But just as man is mysteriously ashamed of the skeletons of the trees in winter, so he is mysteriously ashamed of the
skeleton of himself in death. It is a singular thing altogether, this horror of the architecture of things. One would think it
would be most unwise in a man to be afraid of a skeleton, since Nature has set curious and quite insuperable obstacles to
his running away from it.

One ground exists for this terror a strange idea has infected humanity that the skeleton is typical of death. A man might
as well
say that a factory chimney was typical of bankruptcy. The factory may be left naked after ruin, the skeleton may be
left naked after bodily dissolution, but both of them have had a lively and workmanlike life of their own, all the pulleys
creaking, all the wheels turning, in the House of Livelihood as in the House of Life. There is no reason why this creature
(new, as I fancy, to art), the living skeleton, should not become the essential symbol of life

Question:
How does the author respond to the popular idea that skeletons are reminders of death?

A)He shows that skeletons are not really alive, so they cannot really die

B)He argues that skeletons are one of the liveliest parts of the human body

C)He maintains that the fear of death and skeletons is irrational and should be
conquered

D)He urges that more education about human anatomy is the best way to
dispel the association of skeletons with death

Read the passage from "Names/Nombres" by Julia Alvarez.

By the time I was in high school, I was a popular kid, and it showed in my name. Friends called me Jules or Hey Jude, and once a group of troublemaking friends my mother forbade me to hang out with called me Alcatraz. I was Hoo-lee-tah only to Mami and Papi and uncles and aunts who came over to eat sancocho on Sunday afternoons – old world folk whom I would just as soon go back to where they came from and leave me to pursue whatever mischief I wanted to in America. JUDY ALCATRAZ, the name on the "Wanted" poster would read. Who would ever trace her to me?

Based on this passage, what inference can be made about the way Alvarez became accustomed to life in the United States?

She felt more comfortable in the company of her Dominican family.
She made many American friends but refused to let go of her culture.
She introduced her American friends to many Dominican customs.
She became very well accustomed to life among the Americans.

Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron, and answer the question that follows:

Another way to tap the power of imagination is through place. My own background as a writer is rooted in nature, having grown up reading Henry David Thoreau, Rachel Carson, and John Muir long before I ever dipped into Madeleine L'Engle, Lloyd Alexander, Ursula Le Guin, E. B. White, or J.R.R. Tolkien. My early writings were really nature journals; at nine, I wrote a complete biography—of a tree. (It was a once-majestic chestnut tree not far from my home.) So it should come as no surprise that I view place as much more than just a setting for a story. It is, in truth, another form of character, no less alive and complex, mysterious and contradictory, than the richest character in human form.

What does this paragraph imply about the way the author would treat the setting in his work?

Hi. Ok, so I'm applying to be a Belle (It's a community thing) and I have to write a paragraph about why I'm applying and why I'd like to be selected. For some context, the Belles are an organization that does charity work and like town functions and stuff like that. Anyway, I'm bad at giving reasons why I want to do something, so I'm kinda stuck. How do I appeal to the people reading it and how do I word it without making it sound like I'm listing why I should be accepted? Because that's not technically what they were asking.
