F. READING COMPREHENSION:

This passage covers question number 1 to 4:

Theodore Roosevelt was born with asthma and poor eyesight, yet this sickly child later won fame as a political
leader, a Rough Rider, and a hero of the common people. To conquer his handicaps, Teddy trained in a gym
and became a lightweight boxer at Harvard. Out west, he hunted buffalo and ran a cattle ranch. Back east, he
became a civil service reformer and police commissioner. He became President McKinley’s assistant Navy
secretary during the Spanish-American War. Also, he led a charge of cavalry Rough Riders up San Juan Hill in
Cuba. After achieving fame, he became governor of New York and went on to become the vice president.

When McKinley was assassinated, Theodore Roosevelt became the youngest president at age 42. He is
famous for his motto, “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” Roosevelt battled for meat inspection and pure-food
laws. Also, he wanted to save the forests and break the grip that big business had on steel and oil. Roosevelt
persuaded the diplomats of warring Russia and Japan to make peace.

5. In cities throughout the country, there is a new direction in local campaign coverage. Frequently in local
elections, journalists are not giving voters enough information to understand the issues and evaluate
the candidates. The local news media devotes too much time to scandal and not enough time to policy.

This paragraph best supports the statement that the local news media
A. is not doing an adequate job when it comes to covering local campaigns.
B. does not understand either campaign issues or politics.
C. should learn how to cover politics by watching the national news media.
D. has no interest in covering stories about local political events.

6. The use of desktop computer equipment and software to create highquality documents such as
newsletters, business cards, letterhead, and brochures is called Desktop Publishing, or DTP. The most
important part of any DTP project is planning. Before you begin, you should know your intended
audience, the message you want to communicate, and what form your message will take.

The paragraph best supports the statement that

 A. Desktop Publishing is one way to become acquainted with a new
business audience.
B. computer software is continually being refined to produce high quality
printing.
C. the first stage of any proposed DTP project should be organization and design.
D. the planning stage of any DTP project should include talking with the intended audience.

7. The entire low-carbohydrate versus low-fat diet argument is so prevalent that one would think that
these are the only two options available for losing weight and staying healthy. Some experts even feel
that the low-carb/low-fat debate distracts us from an even more important issue—our culture’s reliance
on processed and manufactured foods.

The paragraph best supports the statement that

A. experts state that not all fats are equal, so we need not reduce our intake of all fats; just those that
contain partially hydrogenated oils.
B. important health concerns get overlooked when we focus exclusively on the low-fat versus low-carb
question.
C. low-carbohydrate diets lead to significant and sustained weight loss.
D. processed foods can lead to many adverse health problems including heart disease, cancer,
diabetes, and obesity.

8. Litigation is not always the only or best way to resolve conflicts. Mediation offers an alternative
approach and it is one that can be quite efficient and successful. Mediation can be faster, less
expensive, and can lead to creative solutions not always possible in a court of law. Additionally,
mediation focuses on mutually acceptable solutions, rather than on winning or losing.

This paragraph best supports the idea that

A. there is too much reliance on litigation in our society.
B. litigation is expensive, slow, and limited by its reliance on following the letter of the law.
C. mediation is the best way to resolve a crisis.
D. mediation can be an effective way to resolve conflicts

9. More and more office workers telecommute from offices in their own homes. The upside of
telecommuting is both greater productivity and greater flexibility. Telecommuters produce, on average,
20% more than if they were to work in an office, and their flexible schedule allows them to balance both
their family and work responsibilities.

The paragraph best supports the statement that telecommuters

A. get more work done in a given time period than workers who travel to the office.
B. produce a better quality work product than workers who travel to the office.
C. are more flexible in their ideas than workers who travel to the office.
D. would do 20% more work if they were to work in an office.

10. Keeping busy at important tasks is much more motivating than having too little to do. Today’s
employees are not afraid of responsibility. Most people are willing to take on extra responsibility in order
to have more variety in their positions. In addition, along with that responsibility should come more
authority to independently carry out some important tasks.

The main idea of the paragraph is that

A. variety and independence on the job increase employee motivation.
B. to avoid boredom, many people do more work than their jobs require of them.
C. today’s employees are demanding more independence than ever before.
D. office jobs in the past have carried less responsibility.
