What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really appear to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. That’s all. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts. Those who were making it in England, for example, did not get on the Mayflower. That’s how the country was settled. Not by Gary Cooper. Yet we have a whole race of people, a whole republic, who believe the myths to the point where even today they select political representatives, as far as I can tell, by how closely they resemble Gary Cooper. Now this is dangerously infantile, and it shows in every level of national life. When I was living in Europe, for example, one of the worst revelations to me was the way Americans walked around Europe buying this and buying that and insulting everybody—not even out of malice, just because they didn’t know any better. Well, that is the way they have always treated me. They weren’t cruel; they just didn’t know you were alive. They didn’t know you had any feelings.

The word “this” in the sentence that begins, “Now this is dangerously infantile . . . ” (paragraph 1 ) refers to

A.
what passes for identity in America
B.
the hungry, the poor, the convicts
C.
myths about one’s heroic ancestors
D.
people who resemble Gary Cooper
E.
a band of heroes who wanted to be free

Preview the excerpt page below and predict the title and text structure:
1. Put the eggs in one layer on the bottom of the pan. Put the pan in the sink. Run water into the pan until the water is
1 inch over the eggs. Put the pan on a burner. Turn it to medium-high heat.
2. Let the water come to a boil. Put the lid on the pan when the water is boiling. Move the pan onto a cold burner. Set
the timer for 15 minutes for Large-sized eggs (or for 12 minutes for Medium-sized eggs or for 18 minutes for
Extra Large-sized eggs).
3. Put the pan in the sink when the time is over. Run cold water into the pan until the eggs are cool. Put the eggs into
the refrigerator if you're going to use them later or peel them if you're going to use them right away. Be sure to use
all the cooked eggs up before a week is over.
4. Gently tap a cooled egg on the countertop or table until it has cracks in it. Roll the egg between your hands until the
cracks turn into small crackles all over the egg.
5. Use your fingers to start peeling off the shell at the large end of the egg. If you need to, you can hold the egg under
running cold water or dip it in a bowl of water to make peeling easier. Throw out the pieces of eggshell when the
egg is all peeled. You can eat the egg or use it in a recipe when it's peeled.
