1 Over the past ten years more than two dozen athletes have died from the medical condition known as heatstroke. Heatstroke occurs when the body’s internal temperature becomes so elevated that its cooling system begins shutting down. Who is most at risk? Surprisingly, it is younger athletes. They often either do not recognize or ignore the warning signs until it’s too late. To make matters worse, children’s bodies are much less efficient than adults at cooling themselves. A promising new product hopes to end the all too common heatstroke trend. It is called a thermometer pill.
2 While it doesn’t look much different from the average vitamin capsule, the work it does inside the body is truly amazing. Once ingested these capsules send an internal body temperature reading to a portable device that is not much bigger than an iPhone. A coach or professional trainer monitors the device during practices or events held when temperatures and heat indexes are particularly high. If an athlete’s body temperature reaches a dangerous level, the monitor immediately transmits an alert. The player is then rushed indoors and placed in an ice bath to rapidly decrease his or her body temperature. This is important, since internal organs can begin shutting down at 105 degrees Fahrenheit.

3 While these tiny lifesavers have proven to be effective, they are quite expensive. On average the cost is $50.00 per pill. However, many parents of young athletes say that it is a small price to pay for the peace of mind it gives them on a hot, sultry day.

To strengthen the argument for using thermometer pills, the author points out that a person who becomes dangerously overheated faces.
A) scarlet fever.
B) severe hypothermia.
C) an increase in pulse rate.
D) organ failure that can lead to death.

A writer wants to make the following claim: Summer holidays should be restored to times when families took off work and school together. Which answer makes the most logical and precise counterclaim? We have always enjoyed summer holidays in my family, and that shouldn't be something anyone does differently. My family takes a vacation at a different time of the year, and we believe that summer is a bad time for vacations. Many families need the months of summer to focus on completing work or school in order to progress in their careers. There are too many people who feel entitled to three months off during the summer months, when there is no good reason.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.
Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust; sails
cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards,
unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore
worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining.
