Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad
things happening in society. However, there is a place where readers can find some
good news. That place is the website called HappyNews. The man behind
HappyNews is Byron Reese. Reese set up HappyNews because he thought other news
sources were giving people an unbalanced view of the world. Reese said about Happy
News, “The news media gives you a distorted view of the world by exaggerating bad
news, misery, and despair. We’re trying to balance out the scale.”
Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news
sources have a responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need to
know about issues or problems in today’s society. Then they are better able to make
informed decisions about things that affect their daily lives. Reese said that
HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems. Happy
News is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world.
By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 unique
readers. About 60 percent of those readers were women. Something else unique makes
HappyNews different from any of the other news or information websites that are on
the Internet. Unlike many other websites, HappyNews gets fan mail from its readers on
a daily basis.
Question 31: Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. “Why Women Like HappyNews”
B. “Byron Reese Tells People How to Be Happy”
C. “Newspapers vs. Online News”
D. “Good News for a Change”
Question 32: What does “exaggerating” mean in this reading?
A. improving B. worsening C. explaining D. editing
Question 33: The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. problems B. issues C. people D. sources
Question 34: How is HappyNews different than other news sources?
A. The website only has stories about women.
B. HappyNews does not exaggerate itsstories.
C. All of the stories are written by Reese.
D. Its stories are not about bad things.
Question 35: Why might some people NOT like HappyNews?
A. It doesn’t tell them about important issues or problems.
B. Some sources give a balanced view.
C. The stories are from around the world.
D. Reese’s stories are about misery and despair.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42
In the early decades of the United States, the agrarian movement promoted the
farmer as society's hero. In the minds of agrarian thinkers and writers, the farmer was a
person on whose well-being the health of the new country depended. The period
between the Revolution, which ended in 1783, and the Civil War, which ended in 1865,
was the age of the farmer in the United States. Agrarian philosophers, represented most
eloquently by Thomas Jefferson, celebrated farmers extravagantly for their supposed
centrality in a good society, their political virtue, and their Superior morality. And
virtually all policy makers, whether they subscribed to the tenets of the philosophy
held by Jefferson or not, recognized agriculture as the key component of the American
economy. Consequently, government at all levels worked to encourage farmers as a
social group and agriculture as economic enterprise.
Both the national and state governments developed transportation infrastructure,
building canals, roads, bridges, and railroads, deepening harbors, and removing
obstructions from navigable streams. The national government imported plants and
animals variety and launched exploring expeditions into prospective farmlands in the
West. In addition, government trade policies facilitate the export of agricultural
products.
For their part, farmers seemed to meet the social expectations agrarian philosophers
had for them, as their overall horizons and greater self-respect, both products of the
Revolution, were reflected to some degree in their behavior. Farmers seemed to
become more scientific, joining agricultural societies and reading the farm newspapers
that sprang up throughout the country. They began using improved implements, tried
new crops and pure animal breeds, and became more receptive to modem theories of
soil improvement.
They also responded to inducements by national and state governments. Farmers
streamed to the West, filling frontier lands with stunning rapidity. But farmers
responded less to the expectations of agrarians and government inducements than to
growing market opportunities. European demand for food from the United States
seemed insatiable. War, industrialization, and urbanization all kept demand high in
Europe. United States cities and industries grew as well; even industries not directly
related to farming thrive because of the market, money, and labor that agriculture
provided.

A. thought about B. agreed with C. expanded on D. contributed to
Question 40: Which of the following statements is supported by the information in

B. The majority of farmers worked for the government.
C. Agricultural production declined between 1783 and 1861.
