Question 6(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)
(MC)

Read these paragraphs and answer the question that follows:


In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people’s lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves.

Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community.

Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all.

Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others. They are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. In return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens.

“I Was a Skinny Tomboy Kid” By Alma Luz Villanueva I was a skinny tomboy kid who walked down the streets with my fists clenched into tight balls. I knew all the roofs And back yard fences, I liked traveling that way sometimes not touching the sidewalks for blocks and blocks it made me feel victorious somehow over the streets. I liked to fly from roof to roof the gravel falling away beneath my feet, I liked the edge of almost not making it. And the freedom of riding my bike to the ocean and smelling it long before I could see it, and I traveled disguised as a boy (I thought) in an old army jacket carrying my fishing tackle to the piers, and bumming bait and a couple of cokes and catching crabs sometimes and selling them to some Chinese guys and I’d give the fish away, I didn’t like fish I just liked to fish— and I vowed to never grow up to be a woman and be helpless like my mother, but then I didn’t realize the kind of guts it often took for her to just keep standing where she was. I grew like a thin, stubborn weed watering myself whatever way I could believing in my own myth transforming my reality and creating a legendary/self every once in a while late at night in the deep darkness of my sleep I wake with a tenseness in my arms and I follow it from my elbow to my wrist and realize my fists are tightly clenched and the streets come grinning and I forget who I’m protecting and I coil up in a self-mothering fashion and tell myself it’s o.k.

A Poison Tree
by William Blake

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears
Night and morning with my tears,
And I sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright,
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,—

And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning, glad, I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
