Portillo was a good boss, a generous guy; I rarely
saw him, sometimes only on the twenty-ninth, when I
waited, with some stupendous circles under my eyes, to
pick up my paycheck
...
He would
call me very early, at six or seven in the morning, so I
could give him a report on what had happened the previous night, which was pretty much pointless, because
nothing ever happened, or almost nothing: maybe some
call or other from Rome or Paris, simple cases from
people who weren’t really sick but who wanted to make
the most of the medical insurance they had bought in
Santiago

One night, around four in the morning, I received a
call from someone whose voice sounded mock-serious,
or disguised, and I thought it was my boss pretending to
be someone else
...
The man was calling direct, which increased my
feeling that it was a prank of Portillo’s, because clients
usually reversed the charges when they called
...

“I don’t understand, I’m calling from Paris,” the man
responded
...
When we talked again I’d become
the nicest phone operator on the planet, which wasn’t

really necessary, because I’ve never been impolite, and
because the man with the unrealistic voice was also
unrealistically nice, which was not usual in that job: it
was more common for clients to show their bad manners, their high-handedness, their habit of treating
phone operators badly, and surely also laborers, cooks,
salespeople, or any other of the many groups made up
of their supposed inferiors
...

He told me he’d been in Europe for five months,
most of that time in Paris, where his daughter—whom
he called la Moño—was working on her doctorate and
living with her husband—el Mati—and the kids
...
He told me how the kids spoke French with
charmingly correct accents, and he also threw in a few
commonplace observations about Paris
...
I had to interrupt
him and respectfully ask him to tell me why he was
calling
...
I typed up the fax and sent it to the
office in Paris so they could coordinate the case, and
then I started the long process of saying good-bye to
Juan Emilio, who fell all over himself in apologies and
politeness before finally accepting that the conversation
had ended

SOCIAL SCIENCE: This passage is from the book On the
Map: A Mind-Expanding Exploration of the Way the World
Looks by Simon Garfield
...
Even south of San Diego, when it
eventually becomes the Mexican state of Baja California, it is firmly hitched to the mainland
...
After eighty-one years
officially attached to a huge landmass, California
drifted free
...
Stranger
still, the error continued to appear on maps long after
navigators had tried to sail entirely around it and—with
what must have been a sense of utter bafflement—
failed
...
It was drawn as part of Mexico by Domingo del
Castillo—a pilot on an expedition by Hernando de
Álarcón—and it is shown as a peninsula and labeled
...
The map, the largest then made
of the region at 107 x 104 cm, may have been engraved
after Gutierrez’s death by Hieronymus Cock, an artist
who clearly took great delight in imaginative trappings:
huge ships and legends populate its seas, with Poseidon
driving horses on a seaworthy chariot, and a huge
gorilla-type creature breaking the waves while it dines
on a fish
...
And then off it floated into the
Pacific, where it remained a cartographic island for
more than two centuries
...
Compiling a paper for the California
Map Society in 1995, Glen McLaughlin and Nancy H
...
Their
names carry bold assertions, with no wiggle room: “A
New and Most Exact map of America” claimed one,
while another promised “America drawn from the latest
and best Observations
...
But they also promoted newer, truer
discoveries, including the first cartographic depiction
of all five Great Lakes
...
In the end, though, it was killed off by a
royal decree issued by Ferdinand VII of Spain in 1747,
which denied the possibility of this Northwest Passage
with the reasonably clear statement: “California is
not an Island
...
California
appeared as an island on a map made in Japan as late as
1865
...
Two decades later he is believed to have
mapped his trip on paper, which featured California as
an island nation
...
In 1622, Henry
Briggs wrote of seeing this map of California in
London
...

“Pocket Map: California as an Island”, copyright © 2013 by Simon
Garfield, from ON THE MAP: A MIND EXPANDING EXPLORATION OF
THE WAY THE WORLD LOOKS by Simon Garfield
...


Its first known insular appearance occurred in
1622, on an inset on a title page of a Spanish volume
entitled Historia General
...
But it received its
most prominent currency on a London map of 1625
entitled “The North Part of America
...
He supplemented the great untracked northerly spaces toward
the Arctic with text describing the wonders of his map,
“Conteyning Newfoundland, new Eng/land, Virginia,
Florida, New Spaine
...
” On the eastern
seaboard both Plymouth and Cape Cod are placed in
Massachusetts, but not yet Boston

Passage III
HUMANITIES: This passage is from the book Apollo’s Angels:
A History of Ballet by Jennifer Homans
...
Even the oldest of ballets
are of necessity performed by young people and take on
the look of their generation
...

Choreographer George Balanchine encouraged this
idea
...

The point, he seemed to be saying, was not to bring
back old musty dances such as Swan Lake: it was to
“make it new
...
But we nonetheless made a
cult of never looking back, of setting our sights resolutely on the present
...

For it does have texts, even if these are not written
down: dancers are required to master steps and variations, rituals and practices
...
When an
older dancer shows a step or a variation to a younger
dancer, the ethics of the profession mandate strict obedience and respect: both parties rightly believe that a
form of superior knowledge is passing between them
...
The teachings of the master are
revered for their beauty and logic, but also because they
are the only connection the younger dancer has to the
past—and she knows it
...

appoint special “memorizers”—dancers whose prodigious recall sets them apart from their peers—to store
its works: they are ballet’s scribes (and pedants) and
they keep whole oeuvres in their limbs, synchronized
(usually) to music that triggers the muscles and helps to
bring back the dance
...


As a result, the ballet repertory is notoriously thin
...
We have
only a handful of past ballets, most of which originated
in nineteenth-century France or late Imperial Russia
...
There is some record of seventeenthcentury court dances, but the notation system recording
these dances died out in the eighteenth century and has
never been fully replaced
...

The rest is spotty and full of holes
...

But we have almost nothing
...

Coppélia, from 1870, is in fact the only nineteenthcentury French ballet still widely performed in its
(more or less) original form
...

recalling ballet lessons she had with particularly
challenging teachers
...
reflecting on the nature of ballet as an art form
...
discussing how ballet as an art has changed in
recent years
...
documenting her quest to preserve ballet’s remaining written records
...
No
wonder dancers obsessively memorize everything:
steps, gestures, combinations, variations, whole ballets
...
Memory is central to the
art, and dancers are trained, as the ballerina Natalia
Makarova once put it, to “eat” dances—to ingest them
and make them part of who they are
...
Recall is sensual and brings
back not just the steps but also the gestures and feel of
the movement, the “perfume,” as Danilova said, of the
dance—and the older dancer
...
Most ballet companies even

22
...
every ballet is unique and fleeting
...
ballets must be danced lightly and delicately
...
ballets are natural and beautiful
...
every ballet requires investments of energy and
time before “growing” into its final form

...
Ballet is known for its rigid constraints, yet dancers
are told to improvise steps when performing
...
Dancers are not taught ballet’s history, yet they are
expected to perform traditional ballets

Ballet is marked by its connection to history, yet
dancers are told to focus on the present

Dancers are encouraged to choreograph new ballets, yet only traditional ballets are produced
onstage

Passage B is
from the article “Plate Tectonics Spotted on Europa” by
Thomas Sumner
...
They too had surface water
in the early days, perhaps even large oceans
...
Soon,
though, Mars lost most of its atmosphere and protective
magnetic field, and its water vapour leaked away
...

60

What made Earth different? The key is probably
plate tectonics
...
They crash against each
other, buckling, rising or driving down into the planet’s
hot mantle
...
On
Earth, it has created natural depressions: ocean basins,
underlain by dense newly forming crust, that hold
deeper waters; and shallow seas on the lighter, more
ancient crust of the continents
...
That
water is mostly wrung back out to emerge as volcanic
steam in mountain ranges
...
Water evaporating from the oceans condenses as
rain and chemically attacks the land, modulating atmospheric composition and global temperature
...
Below this
lid, almost uncannily, all three phases of water—solid,
liquid and gas—coexist almost all of the time: the only
planetary surface known where this has been sustained
for any long period
...
Geochemist Francis
Albarède of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Lyon,
France, thinks that water’s arrival from outer space
kick-started the plate-tectonic motor 3  billion years
ago
...
The finding
marks the first evidence of plate tectonics beyond
Earth
...
“This tells us that this process can happen
on more than just rocky planets like Earth
...
However, Kattenhorn
says, Europa is the first found with a patchwork of
drifting tectonic plates
...
Such transport would bolster the
likelihood that this ocean hosts life
...
”
Though the moon formed over 4 billion years ago,
at the same time as the rest of the solar system,
Europa’s icy surface is surprisingly young
...
Dark bands crisscross the moon
where warm, fresh ice wells up to the frigid surface, but
a mystery remained: Where is the old material?
Two years ago, Kattenhorn and coauthor Louise
Prockter of Johns Hopkins University spotted something odd as they scoured a Louisiana-sized portion of
Europa mapped by NASA’s Galileo spacecraft in 1998
...
Like a torn
photograph placed so that the pieces overlap, Europa’s
crisscrossing surface fractures didn’t properly line up
...
The action resembles a
subduction zone on Earth, where one slab of crust—or
tectonic plate—slides beneath another

Explanation of Procedures Used to Obtain
Scale Scores from Raw Scores
ACT Test D05

On each of the four tests on which you marked any
responses, the total number of correct responses yields a raw
score
...
For each test, locate and circle your raw score or the
range of raw scores that includes it in the table below
...
As you
determine your scale scores, enter them in the blanks provided
on the right
...
The lowest possible scale score for any test on which you
marked any responses is 1
...
To do this, add your four scale scores and divide
the sum by 4
...
(Round down any fraction less
than one-half; round up any fraction that is one-half or more
...
This is your Composite score
...
The lowest
possible Composite score is 1
...
If any test was completely
blank, do not calculate a Composite score
...
These tests measure skills and
abilities highly related to high school course work and
success in college
...

The questions in each test are numbered, and the
suggested answers for each question are lettered
...

For each question, first decide which answer is best
...
Then, locate the
oval in that row lettered the same as your answer
...
Use a soft lead pencil
and make your marks heavy and black
...

Mark only one answer to each question
...
For each
question, make certain that you mark in the row of ovals
with the same number as the question
...
Your score on each test will be based only
on the number of questions you answer correctly during
the time allowed for that test
...
It is to your advantage to answer every
question even if you must guess
...
If you finish a test before time is
called for that test, you should use the time remaining to
reconsider questions you are uncertain about in that test
...
To do so will disqualify you from the
examination
...
You may not for any reason fill
in or alter ovals for a test after time is called for that test
...

Do not fold or tear the pages of your test booklet
...
