Reading Comprehension Self-Study(Questions 1-5)


Horatio Alger, Jr.
Horatio Alger, Jr. (1832-1899) was the author of more than 100 books for boys in the
second half of the nineteenth century that focused on the theme of success coming to those who work
hard to achieve it. The son of a minister, Alger came from a prominent Massachusetts family. He
graduated with honors from Harvard in 1852 and graduated from the Cambridge Divinity School eight
years later. He served as a minister for a short time before moving to New York City in 1866 to devote
his time to writing inspirational books for boys.
In many of his books, he wrote about the poor and homeless children of the slums of New York
City, seeing them as unfortunate pawns of society who, if only given the opportunity, could improve their
lot. A general plotline that he followed often was of a poor boy who managed to achieve a respectable
and successful life by working hard and taking advantage of opportunities presented. Though his writing
style was characterized by simplicity and repetition, it was well received by his target audience; his books
were enormously popular, selling millions of copies well into the first few decades of the twentieth
century.

Reading Comprehension (Questions 1-2)


Camouflage
Camouflage is one of the most effective ways for animals to avoid attack in the treeless Arctic.
However, the summer and winter landscapes there are so diverse that a single protective coloring scheme
would, of course, prove ineffective in one season or the other. Thus, many of the inhabitants of the Arctic
tundra change their camouflage twice a year. The arctic fox is a clear-cut example of this phenomenon
it sports a brownish gray coat in the summer which then turns white as cold weather sets in, and the
process reverses itself in the springtime. Its brownish-gray coat blends in with the barren tundra landscape in the months without snow, and the white coat naturally blends in with the landscape of the frozen
wintertime tundra.
1. Which of the sentences below expresses the essential information in the first highlighted sentence
in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential
information.
A. Opposite conditions in summer and in winter necessitate different protective coloration for
Arctic animals.
B. The coloration of the summer and winter landscapes in the Arctic fails to protect the Arctic
Fails to protect the Arctic tundra.
C. In a single season, protective coloring schemes are ineffective in the treeless Arctic.
D. For many animals, a single protective coloring scheme effectively protects them during
summer and winter months.
2. Which of the sentences below expresses the essential information in the second highlighted
sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out
essential information.
A. The arctic fox is unusual in that the color of its coat changes for no reason.
B. The arctic fox lives in an environment that is brownish gray in the summer and white in the
Winter.
C. It is a phenomenon that the coat of the arctic fox turns white in the springtime and gray in
the fall.
D. The arctic fox demonstrates that protective coloration can change during different seasons.
