When Donovan and Keisha arrived to Mr. Java's science class, they immediately decided they would request to be lab partners for the semester. Keisha was always a student who knew what she wanted and how she would achieve her goals. She was known for being a "go-getter." Both Donovan and Keisha were honor students and well-behaved; they were the epitome of high-achieving students. Their hard work would certainly pay off by them being nominated for the science scholar program.
Throughout the semester, Donovan and Keisha successfully completed several science labs together. One day though, Donovan was absent. Normally, Keisha would not have been concerned about him not being in class, but today, their final lab assignment which was worth 300 points was due. This assignment would determine which students would surely clinch the nomination for the science scholar program, and Donovan had all of their work! What will happen to my grade? What about the nomination? Keisha nervously cried in her head. Students would not be allowed to turn in their assignments late. Mr. Java had been very clear about that. So Keisha had a choice to make: Would she take a risk of being disciplined for taking out her cell phone to call Donovan?
Keisha secured a hall pass and quickly ran into the girl's bathroom. She began to dial Donovan's number, the electronic notes of the dial pad piercing the silent air of the room. As the phone began to ring, she heard four loud knocks on the bathroom stall door—a teacher!
Moments later, Keisha found herself waiting in the principal's office, embarrassed and ashamed. Only rowdy, unruly kids end up in the principal's office, she thought. I'm not one of them! Principal Johnson was known for being a no-nonsense type of lady who never pitied disorderly behavior. Now Keisha had no assignment and the promise of disciplinary action—both of which would ruin her chances of being accepted into the science program.
As Keisha sat down in the dreaded examination chair behind the principal's closed door, Principal Johnson said, "I recognize you, young lady. But you're not a regular in my office. I know you from… the honor student banquet! What in the world are you doing here?"
Keisha's embarrassment melted into an outpouring of tears and frustration as she told her story. Principal Johnson listened calmly and then said, "As you've no doubt heard, Keisha, I'm not one for bending the rules. And using your cell phone at school is very much against the rules! But your passion for science, for school, and for the science scholar program leads me to believe that I should make an exception."
Keisha smiled with relief as Principal Johnson handed her a cell phone.
"Here, you can use mine. Just stay out of the bathroom!"

he Quinceañera Celebration
Often it's a big production. With a special church service and an elaborate party, this celebration is like having a wedding for a 15th birthday party. But it has been and still can be a simple thing, such as a dinner with family members after church. The Quinceañera [keen-say-ahn-YAY-rah] marks a girl's arrival, at age 15, into adulthood. At this point, she is expected to take more responsibility, to give more to her family and society. This is celebrated in many Hispanic communities in the United States as well as in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.

Both the party and the service may involve a lot of decorations and music. In the church service, the fifteen-year-old reaffirms her baptismal and confirmation vows. With her is a "court of honor." Traditionally, this is a group of 14 pairs of boys and girls, a little younger than she is, and her escort. Often, though, the size and age of this group vary. The boys are called "chambelanes" [chahm-bay-LAH-nays] or lords, and the girls are "damas" [DAH-mahs], or ladies. The girl's "court" enters the church first, and then she walks down the aisle with her parents.

Later the same day, a party takes place. This is most likely in a community hall or the family's house or yard. A special waltz by the girl with her father begins the dancing. Food and a specially decorated cake of many layers are served.

The birthday girl often receives several symbolic gifts this day. They may include a doll — her last child's toy — a ring or other jewelry, her first high-heeled shoes and a bouquet of flowers. She wears a crown of flowers and a dress much like a wedding dress.

This celebration is strongest in Mexico, where it may have its origins. The idea seems to come from an Aztec, or ancient Mexican, custom. In that culture, at age 12 or 13, a girl began to attend one of two types of school, depending on her future. Either she trained for religious service or for married life. The Spanish Catholic society adopted this idea, but changed the age to 15. Also, over time, instead of marking a choice of religion or marriage, the day became a rite of passage for all girls.

Select the correct text in the passage.
In this excerpt from John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address, which sentence acts as a call to action?
In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.

Now the trumpet summons us again—not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need--not as a call to battle, though embattled we are—but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"—a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
