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.
Native Americans from the southeastern part of what is now the United States believed that the universe in
which they lived was made up of three separate, but related, worlds, the Upper World, the Lower World, and
This World. In the last there lived humans, most animals, and all plants.
This World, a round island resting on the surface of waters, was suspended from the sky by four cords
attached to the island at the four cardinal 'points of the compass. Lines drawn to connect the opposite points
of the compass, from north to south and from east to west, intersected This World to divide it into four wedge
- shaped segments. Thus a symbolic representation of the human world was a cross within a circle, the cross
representing the intersecting lines and the circle the shape of This World.
Each segment of This World was identified by its own color. According to Cherokee doctrine, east was
associated with the color red because it was the direction of the Sun, the greatest deity of all. Red was also
the color of fire, believed to be directly connected with the Sun, with blood, and therefore with life. Finally, red
was the color of success. The west was the Moon segment; it provided no warmth and was not life - giving as
the Sun was. So its color was black. North was the direction of cold, and so its color was blue sometimes
purple, and it represented trouble and defeat. South was the direction of warmth, its color, white, was
associated with peace and happiness.
The southeastern Native Americans' universe was one in which opposites were constantly at war with each
other, red against black, blue against white. This World hovered somewhere between the perfect order and

predictability of the Upper World and the total disorder and instability of the Lower World. The goal was to find
some kind of halfway path, or balance, between those other worlds.

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.
Ranked as the number one beverage consumed worldwide, tea takes the lead over coffee in both popularity
and production with more than 5 million metric tons of tea produced annually. Although much of this tea is
consumed in Asian, European, and African countries, the United States drinks its fair share. According to
estimates by the Tea Council of the United States, tea is enjoyed by no less than half of the U.S. population on
any given day. Black tea or green tea iced, spiced, or instant tea drinking has spurred a billion-dollar
business with major tea producers in Africa and South America and throughout Asia.
Tea is made from the leaves of an evergreen plant, Camellia sinensis, which grows tall and lush in tropical
regions. On tea plantation, the plant is kept trimmed to approximately four feet high and as new buds called
flush appear, they are plucked off by hand. Even in todays world of modern agricultural machinery, hand
harvesting continues to be the preferred method. Ideally, only the top two leaves and a bud should be picked.
This new growth produces the highest quality tea.
After being harvested, tea leaves are laid out on long drying racks, called withering racks, for 18 to 20 hours.
During this process, the tea softens and becomes limp. Next, depending on the type of tea being produced,
the leaves may be crushed or chopped to release flavor, and then fermented under controlled conditions of
heat and humidity. For green tea, the whole leaves are often steamed to retain their green color, and the
fermentation process is skipped. Producing black teas requires fermentation during which the tea leaves
begin to darken. After fermentation, black tea is dried in vats to produce its rich brown or black color.
No one knows when or how tea became popular, but legend has it that tea as a beverage was discovered in
2737 B.C. by Emperor Shen Nung of China when leaves from a Camellia dropped into his drinking water as it
was boiling over a fire. As the story goes, Emperor Shen Nung drank the resulting liquid and proclaimed the
drink to be most nourishing and refreshing. Though this account cannot be documented, it is thought that tea
drinking probably originated in China and spread to other parts of Asia, then to Europe, and ultimately to
America colonies around 1650.
With about half the caffeine content as coffee, tea is often chosen by those who want to reduce, but not
necessarily eliminate their caffeine intake. Some people find that tea is less acidic than coffee and therefore
easier on the stomach. Others have become interested in tea drinking since the National Cancer Institute
published its findings on the antioxidant properties of tea. But whether tea is enjoyed for its perceived health
benefits, its flavor, or as a social drink, teacups continue to be filled daily with the worlds most popular
beverage.
